Welcome
Thank you for visiting my website and I hope you enjoy having a look around. My name is Nicola Potts and I have had over 30yrs experience working within the equine industry.
I am a fully qualified (and insured) Holistic Therapist based in The Scottish Borders.
If you’re looking to improve the overall health and
well-being of your horse or pony or yourself I can help.
I provide a range of therapies which include Sports massage, Swedish Massage, Acupressure and Magnetics. I like to combine these therapies as they enhance each other, and also work very well alongside traditional veterinary care.
I travel throughout the Scottish Borders and the surrounding areas including Northumberland and Cumbria.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information.

Naughty or Uncomfortable?
Is your horse really being just naughty?
Or trying to tell you something in the only way it knows how?
Some of the signs to take notice of are:
reluctance to go forward
bucking, rearing, napping
biting, kicking and
abnormal behaviour
If disease or lameness has been ruled out, muscle spasms and tightness can lead to the above signs and reactions, and accussage can help alleviate these symptoms.

-
Muscle pain, spasms, stiffness and tension
