Any recommendations for massage therapists who work in the central Virginia area? Person my vet recommends has recently stopped practing, so she has no recs for me. Thanks!
I may be biased because we’re bffs, but Courtney is pretty great. My horses love it when she comes to visit!
Ill put a plug in for Courtney as well. She was at one of my TB shows and was doing massages and my horse LOVED her!!
Thanks guys
Woodstock, you can email me at tulizamassage@gmail.com or message me on Facebook - Samantha linked you to me up there ^^
Look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks all, and Courtney.
Courtney- do you have any experience with PSSM (suspected) horses? Thanks!

Some; what I’ve found is that they tend to do better if I work on them on a more frequent basis. Generally those types I prefer to do every other week because they can regress fairly quickly. I’ve only had a couple, but the owners both stated that there was a noticeable difference afterwards and lasted about two weeks before they would start to see them stiffen up again. Of course, every horse is different, so if yours has a milder case it may last longer, or vice versa.
Also, the program your vet has them on the help manage it will play a role as well.
Where are you and/or your horse located, we can always set up an appointment and take a look. I discount my first appointments for first time clients, only $40. But that’s a one time deal. After that, my regular prices are $60/appt. That gives you a chance to see if the massage will actually help them over one or two sessions without breaking the bank. I do charge a farm call if you’re over an hour from Midlothian, but if I’ve got multiple people around you I generally kill the call fee.
Cool! Thanks Courtney! You’re close to me-- my horse is right in Manakin. I’ll try to give you a call in the coming days.
Sounds good, I’m in and out of Manakin all the time, so scheduling shouldn’t be an issue
Hi Courtney- I sent you a FB private message-- I suspect it is sitting in your “other” box. I’m going to send you a PM here with my phone number. Thanks!
