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 35yrs 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, Reiki Healing & 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 North Northumberland.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information.

Benefits

 

 

 

 

 

​

Maintenance of Condition & Prevention of Injuries

Helps to keep your horse in peak physical condition and can help improve performance, reduce the occurrence of injuries and induce a feeling of well-being. Massage on a regular basis is a beneficial contributory factor in giving your horse the optimum chance to perform at his best. It is an excellent barometer for muscular health and allows intervention before a minor problem escalates.

Prevention is better than cure!

 

Preparation & Post Competition Care

Regular therapy sessions are effective in keeping your horse relaxed. They can be beneficial in preparing for exercise, enhancing performance, reduce muscle fatigue aiding a more rapid return to normal.

 

Can Help facilitate Healing & Shorten Recovery Period.

By preventing muscle atrophy, joint stiffness and maintaining muscle suppleness and tone it is of great benefit to horses on box rest.
