About Me

A life long equestrian, Sarah grew up at a Hunter/Jumper equine facility in New Jersey where she worked her way up in the industry utilizing working student positions with multiple trainers in her area. During this time she learned both modern and classical horsemanship principals and participated in English Equitation, Show Jumping, Eventing, Dressage, and Western Showmanship, Equitation & Pleasure competitions at both the 4-H and Rated levels. 

She later began operating a boarding, lesson, and training business for students of all ages and disciplines at her family’s property. It is during this time she was first introduced to Equine bodywork. A client horse was in such dire need that the professional who came out showed her how to massage him. At his 30 day follow-up she was amazed at his progress. Although Sarah performed basic bodywork for her personal horses, it wasn’t until a severe injury from a riding accident several years later that she would become certified in this field. 

Following her heart, Sarah moved to Oklahoma and is now a Certified Equine Myo-Manipulative Functional Therapist and Lazaris Nerve Release Practitioner. Sarah is  ever furthering her knowledge and skills through additional certification & continuing education courses, attending clinics & lessons, and self study through reading books & published research in addition to her own experiences in her work with horses. She also has a philanthropic side and volunteers her time and expertise to a local equine rescue who’s focus is keeping horses out of the slaughter pipeline. Sarah’s mission is to Renew the Mind, Rebuild the Body, and Restore the Spirit of each horse she meets. 

Sarah offers Bodywork Sessions, Rehabilitation after Injury, Horse Training, and Riding Lessons in Oklahoma for haul-in clients or will travel within 50 miles of Kellyville, Oklahoma. If you are outside the 50 mile range, contact her for conditions & qualifications.
