Relieving pain • Restoring movement • Enhancing well-being

The Healing Barn – Horse • Human • Hound
Where movement, recovery, and well-being come together – Formerly Animals Voice Equine and Canine Physical Therapy.

At The Healing Barn, we offer tailored treatments designed to support recovery, ease tension, and improve mobility for both humans and animals. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, pain management, a chronic condition, or simply seeking to enhance your well-being, we provide personalised care that respects your unique needs.

Having experienced chronic pain myself, I understand that some injuries or trauma may require a gentler, alternative approach. I listen closely and adjust treatments to your comfort levels—whether it’s sitting, staying clothed, or easing pain without focusing directly on the source of discomfort.

Enhancing mobility through range of motion

Using a holistic approach, we help restore balance, support musculoskeletal alignment, release tension, and assist in the recovery of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerve injuries.

At The Healing Barn, we are here to help you move better, feel better, and live better—no matter your age, ability, or challenges.

Customer Reviews

Horse

Katie has done amazing job with my horse I had no idea of her issues and she has helped me understand her problems and given me good tips. My horse was a bit head shy with the halter going on and things now stands and has it on no problems 🙂 can not recommend her enough
Christine ★★★★★

Our horse had been sore and uneven for moths and we were at a loss. Benji was stiff, anxious, and reactive under saddle, we had so many people out, vets recommended Katie so we got her out and our horse started moving freely again and became calmer to handle. Her knowledge in horses and movement along with her patience with Benji made a huge difference.Wouldn't trust anyone else with our horses now!
Hannah ★★★★★

Human

After struggling with chronic neck and hip pain for years, I finally feel like my body is moving how it should again. Katie’s approach is so gentle but effective — I always leave feeling realigned and calmer. It’s clear she genuinely cares and knows exactly what she’s doing. I’ve had physio, massage, and chiro before, but this was different, more connected
Jess ★★★★★

I’m a runner and was battling ongoing calf tightness that no amount of stretching could fix. After two sessions with Katie, my gait felt smoother and the tension had eased dramatically. I’ve added her sessions into my regular training recovery now, Cheers Katie
Daniel ★★★★★

Hound

Katie has such a special way with animals. Our anxious rescue dog was struggling with tension and mobility, and after a few treatments, he’s like a new dog — more relaxed, more playful, and finally sleeping through the night
Emily ★★★★★

Our senior lab had joint pain and was limping after every walk. Katie treated him with such care and patience, and we noticed an improvement after the first session. Now he’s back to trotting around and even playing again. It’s been such a relief to see him comfortable. We’re so grateful
