Equine and Human Massage Therapist based in West Lothian, Scotland
  • A member of the National Association of Equine Massage Therapists
  • A member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT)
  • Honoree member of the N.A.R.E.M.T.

Margaret's reputation of excellence continues to thrive with her work with Scottish endurance group members as well as local branches of the pony club benefiting from Margaret's  inspirational talks and demonstrations. 

In Margaret's Words . . .
I offer a mobile service for relaxation, general maintenance and re-cooperation to both humans and equines. These sessions are not a replacement for a Veterinary Surgeon or a General Practitioner.
I specialise in equine/human massage by combining my past 25 years of Registered Mental Nursing skills, 34 years of experience within the equine world, 13 years of human massage skills and my recently acquired equine massage training skills.
On my first visit to my client, be it human or equine, I obtain a pre-massage assessment. The first session may take up to 2hrs, but a comprehensive background history is obtained, giving me the foundation to build my therapy session upon, this enabling me to provide a tailor made massage session to meet the individual’s needs. Each session is recorded in a case-report.
I work within the code of conducts of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT) and the National Association of Registered Equine Massage Therapists (N.A.R.E.M.T.)

I also offer a gift voucher service, and discount to group bookings (3+)

My Background
I was brought up on a hill farm on the Island of Arran, where my parents ran a Trekking Centre. I found my love of horses at a very early age, as every wakening moment that I can remember, was spent on or around them. I was a member of the Arran Riding Club, and later joined the Linlithgow and Stirlingshire Branch of the Pony Club. (Still have involvement – many years on!!!)
My love of horses continued throughout my teenage years, spending much of my time working with young and ‘difficult’ horses, this experience left me with feelings of great compassion, empathy and understanding of my equine friends, a foundation that was to be the basis of my new found career.
