About the Founder - Tia
From a young age, I have always felt a strong connection to animals, particularly horses and dogs. Over time, this passion grew into a desire to support their health, comfort, and overall wellbeing in a meaningful and hands-on way.
My journey into equine and canine massage therapy was shaped by seeing first hand the positive impact that skilled bodywork can have—not only on physical movement, but also on an animal’s confidence, relaxation, and quality of life.
My Approach
My approach is centred around patience, trust, and respect for each individual animal. I understand that every horse and dog is different, which is why I tailor each session to their specific needs, allowing them time to relax and respond in their own way.
By combining proven therapeutic techniques with a calm and compassionate approach, I aim to create a positive experience where animals feel safe, comfortable, and supported throughout their treatment.
Professional Standards & Ongoing Development
I am proud to be associated with the International Association of Animal Therapists. This reflects my commitment to professionalism, ethical practice, and continued education as an equine and canine massage therapist. Being part of this respected organisation ensures I uphold recognised industry standards and stay up to date with the latest research and techniques in animal bodywork.
I am also fully insured with Balens, a leading UK specialist insurer for complementary and holistic therapists. My policy includes comprehensive professional and public liability cover, ensuring that both you and your horse or dog are protected during treatment. This provides reassurance that you are working with a qualified and insured practitioner who prioritises safety, professionalism, and peace of mind.
Working Together
I believe the best results come from a collaborative approach. Where appropriate, I work alongside owners, trainers, and veterinary professionals to ensure your horse or dog receives well-rounded, supportive care.
My Goal
My goal is to help every horse and dog feel their best—supporting freedom of movement, reducing discomfort, and enhancing overall wellbeing.
Through compassionate, skilled therapy, I strive to make a positive difference in the lives of the animals I work with and the people who care for them. .
