Massage... helping people & horses

I love my job!!  In 2005, I started helping horses with massage
and was instantly hooked.  Working on horses made me really
believe in the change massage produces.  After all, horses
have no idea what a massage is supposed to feel like, but
every single time they react by leaning into my touch, falling
asleep, etc.  Owners immediately tell me how their horse's
demeanor had changed or how they can already see a
difference in how their horse holds himself.  Once I realized
this massage thing is really all it's cracked up to be, I knew I
wanted to help people, too.
I really enjoy being able to help people (and horses!) in such
a non-invasive way.  Most drugs have a long list of
side-effects, but my massage only has one: sleepiness.  
Why do you need a massage?

There are a lot of reasons... chiefly, you've spent your whole life contracting
your muscles: via activity, holding yourself upright (posture), holding stress,
or compensating for injury -- how long have you spent stretching your
muscles back out?
 

Working in the garden, playing a game of baseball, or starting up a new workout regime may
leave your
muscles feeling stiff and sore.  Massage helps to relax the muscles and relieve
pain by, essentially, wringing out the muscle tissue so that fluids are squeezed out of muscle
fiber and replaced by new, fresh blood.  Massage also increases circulation, which helps your
body repair itself faster to recover from overuse or injury.
Stress isn't good for your mind, your body, or the people around you that it affects.  I don't
know anything as effective as massage to calm the mind and refresh the spirit - in only an
hour!  
My clients tell me that they can still feel the effects of my massage for about 3 days after
the massage!
During pregnancy, a woman's entire pelvis shifts position, altering the length of all of the
muscles attached to the pelvis.  This change results in a bunch of sore muscles, especially the
lower back.
Massage helps muscles to stretch out and relax, while your body produces more hormones like
endorphins (painkiller) and oxytocin (uplifting), while lowering the body's levels of stress
hormones like cortisol and adrenaline.  When you get massage on a regular basis (at least
monthly), your body produces a higher level of these hormones on its own, between your
massages.  People report feeling less stress, anxiety, soreness, and depression.
