Kim brings a rare, “wholistic” and collaborative approach to each individual horse in her practice.

 

A lifelong horsewoman who grew up in 4-H studying Hippology, Judging and Horsemanship, Kim was always the geeky kid with time only for her horses and study. Her resume includes participating as a youth on winning horse judging teams and later becoming a team judging coach with teams participating very successfully at the national level.

 

This experience led Kim to apply that knowledge of form and function to her studies of Equine bodywork, biomechanics, and ergonomics, to bring a highly trained eye, insightful gymnastic solutions, and the ability to always make a difference for each horse in her care.

 

Having competed through the years in many different disciplines, Kim possesses a unique understanding of keeping horses conditioned and sound from the ground up.

She also understands the many levels of communication and collaboration to be navigated toward the goal of bringing our best selves to the horse.

​

With over 30 years of practical experience and study of Equine bodywork & biomechanics, Kim holds certification as an ESMT from Equissage of Virginia, and from the AOPP as a certified PEMF Professional. Committed to continuing education, Kim regularly completes courses earning accredited CPD hours. Her foundation of study began with the teachings of Jack Meagher, who is considered the father of Sports Massage. Her library of study includes numerous accredited experts here in the US and internationally.  She firmly believes you can learn something from everyone and constantly seeks out current scientific knowledge to bring to the table. She has completed and scored 100% on FEI Campus coursework in Equine Anatomy and Physiology and is currently enrolled in programs to earn further certification with the BHS.
