About Rebecca
EXCELLENCE &
PROFESSIONALISM
Rebecca is an equine massage practitioner based out of Exeter, NH. She grew up riding and later managing barns. Rebecca became licensed as a massage therapist for humans in 2015, and by 2018 her business shifted almost exclusively to horses. She is triple certified in equine massage and continues to pursue continuing education from equine rehab and stretching techniques to modalities such as kinesiology taping. Her background as a human LMT helps her to further understand the role that riders play in biomechanics and the patterns that often show up in our horses. She is passionate about helping horses to operate at their best, whether as comfortable backyard companions or as upper level competition partners.
