Please read before booking your Shiatsu massage appointment.

Please allow up to 1.5 hours for the initial consultation session, and approximately 1 hour per massage treatment following the initial session.

I am not a veterinary surgeon and can not diagnose problems your horse may have, and may advise your horse be referred to your Vet or other relevant professional if necessary (farrier, dentist, etc).

Payment is required by way of cash or Bank transfer at the time of the appointment or prior to.  

A 24 hour cancellation policy applies. If your appointment is cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, the full payment will still be due. Please try and give as much notice as possible if you need to rearrange your appointment. Exceptional circumstances will be taken into consideration.

Please ensure your horse is clean and dry prior to treatment. If Michelle attends your horse and is unable to treat the horse due to it being wet/muddy, the full treatment cost will still be due.

Discounts are offered for more than 2 horses at the same yard on the same day. This is providing all horses are treated and there are no missed appointments on the day.

Please try to ensure your massage is not booked around times that could be disruptive to your horse’s massage, i.e. feeding or agistment turnout times, and the area around your horse is safe to provide the treatment. Having a quiet working area ensures your horse can get the most out of their session.

Treatments are undertaken entirely at the owners own risk.
