High Moon Equine and Canine Sports Therapy

Merry Christmas from Marlee, Moonbeam and I In this strange time I hope you are all finding love and joy through it all. Thank you for another great year serving you and your animals

Dear clients and friends, In recent days I have reached out to the AEF for clarification on the status of my work in this lockdown. Answers are unclear and vague, as equine body work has not been given clear direction by either AEF or the provincial government. Our current solution until further guidance is released is that I may work on existing Equine clients, but fully outdoors only, and socially distanced. Canine massage will resume after the lockdown.... Given winter conditions this may mean infrequent bookings at best, as I cannot massage in arctic temperatures, nor snowstorms, nor in the pitch black. I understand there may be frustrations from some with my choice to comply to the greatest extent possible with restrictions, so am extending my discounts (found in my previous post) to the end of January, giving the opportunity to still receive the discounts after the lockdown is complete. I just ask that you respect my decision on how to handle the coming 4 weeks. If you wish to book an appointment, please contact me and we can try to arrange something that fits within these guidelines. Shauna Wells, REMT

Full disclosure, I know these comparison photos are far from perfect; I should have squared the client up more and positioned myself more similarly for both photos. Regardless, in the top photo you can see a slight curve in the lumbar spine. Contracted muscles on the right side pulled the body of the vertebrae to the right, which forces the dorsal spinous processes to the left. Hopefully, this cute mare will feel more comfortable and more capable of bending through her body. Dorsal stripes sure are handy in my line of work!

This very talkative German Shepherd says there's nothing quite like falling asleep on momma's lap for a massage!

As a thank-you to my clients, and as a final dig at this year, I'd like to offer some holiday cheer in the form of some special December discounts! Book an appointment this month and receive 15% off your first massage, 20% off your second, and 25% off your third. Equine: 1 massage: $68. 2 massages: $132. 3 massages: $192. Canine: rates vary, contact me to discuss your dog's discount rates!... Travel fees may still apply. -Shauna 780-897-0309 [email protected]
