My name is Ciarra Olson, and I am the owner and equine bodyworker at Montana Rose Equine Therapy. My journey in massage therapy began in 2017 when I graduated from Lake Superior College's program, completing over 750 hours of training to become a Licensed Massage Therapist. I have gained experience in various massage environments, ranging from spas to chiropractic offices, working alongside natural health practitioners. I developed a deep passion for therapeutic massage, focusing on alleviating muscle and joint pain, addressing specific issues, reducing stiffness, enhancing blood circulation, and aiding injury recovery.

Horses have always held a special place in my heart. Growing up, I eagerly rode any horse I could and participated in lessons covering dressage, jumping, western riding, and cutting. At 16, I rescued my first horse, Trexx, who turned out to be a bit of a "problem child." He struggled with ongoing lameness issues, and despite numerous examinations, no solution seemed to arise. At one time, I received advice to consider euthanizing him due to his soundness problems. This fueled my determination; I refused to abandon the horse I had saved. Even if it meant he would never be ridden again, I wanted him to live pain-free and sound in the pasture. This marked the beginning of my journey into equine bodywork, as I began incorporating massage into Trexx's monthly routine and witnessed significant improvements.

In 2020, I attended Equine Sports Massage Training through Therasage EMC, which greatly expanded my understanding of equine bodywork. Since then, I have pursued additional courses with Trinity Equine Services, Sozo Equine, Therasage EMC, and Angels Animals LLC, allowing me to integrate Kinesiology Taping and Cold Laser Therapy into my practice.

I am committed to deepening my understanding of horses and bodywork so that I can provide you and your horse with the highest level of care possible.
