MEET THE BODYWORKER
Hi, I'm Regina, Owner of Better Balance Equine.
I'm an equine bodyworker, a lifelong horsewoman, and a nurse practitioner.
Throughout my career in human healthcare, I've learned that healing and wellbeing aren't simply about treating what's wrong. They're about creating the conditions for comfort, safety, movement, and recovery. They're about listening closely, paying attention to the details, and caring for the whole individual standing in front of you.
Those same principles guide every session I provide for horses.
When horses feel comfortable in their bodies, they move differently. They recover differently. They engage with their work, and with the people who love them, differently.
That's what drew me to equine bodywork. It brings together two lifelong passions: caring for others and caring for horses in a way that supports their comfort, performance, and overall wellbeing.
To provide the highest standard of care, I completed my professional training through Freely Forward Bodywork, studying under respected equine bodyworker Maija Luttinger.
My education focused in advanced myofascial release techniques and emphasized a thoughtful, biomechanics-based approach to identifying areas of restriction, restoring healthy movement, and supporting each horse as an individual.
Following my in-person training, I continued developing my skills through an externship that allowed me to gain hands-on experience with horses representing a wide variety of disciplines, ages, and needs. Since then, I've had the privilege of working with numerous horses, helping owners support everything from performance and recovery to comfort and everyday wellness.

Every horse tells a story through the way they move. My job is to listen.
No two horses are exactly alike, which is why every session is tailored to the individual horse standing in front of me.
Rather than chasing symptoms, I look at the bigger picture: how the horse moves, where compensation may be occurring, and how we can support the body as a whole.
At the heart of my philosophy is the belief that horses give us so much throughout their lives, and we owe it to them to help them feel their best.
Every horse deserves the opportunity to move comfortably, recover thoughtfully, and simply feel good. It's a privilege to be part of that journey.
