About Me
Hi, I'm Emma, the face behind EJS Equine Therapies!
From the age of 6, I was the typical horse-crazy little girl, and always dreamed of working with horses. I commenced my journey as a stable hand, moving on to equine nursing, before deciding I wanted my own business and landed on Equine Massage Therapy.
​
My mission is to be the ears to your horses' whispers, to help them feel their best so they can perform their best. I am passionate about equine musculoskeletal function and how it is influenced. After working alongside horse trainers, farriers, owners and veterinarians, I understand the importance of a holistic approach and am dedicated to nurturing this approach. My promise to you and your horse is delivering honest and high-quality bodywork, that aims to alleviate muscular tension and improve overall well-being.
If you are interested in a qualified equine sports massage session for your horse, I am currently servicing Brisbane and the surrounds in Queensland.
