For those who are new here—welcome!
For those who’ve been with us—thank you. 🤍

My name is Emilie Arthurs, and I own, run, and operate Healing Touch Equine and Canine Services. I’m a mobile, registered equine massage therapist & canine therapist, proudly serving horses and dogs since 2018.

I thought it was a great time for some re-introductions on who I am!

🔹I was born in New Brunswick
🔹French is my first language
🔹I attempted to open my own dog walking business at age 6
🔹Competed in Eventing with a Clyde x Hackney mare I had the pleasure of owning for many years
🔹Graduated D’Arcy Lane Institute in 2018 and became Registered with the International Federation of Registered Equine Massage Therapists
🔹Went full time with my business in 2023
🔹 Recently moved to Nova Scotia & purchased 19 acres with goals of homesteading
🔹When I am not massaging animals, I am adventuring with my dog, volunteering time to the IFREMT, & thinking of ways to better myself / business

I’m so excited to share more of my work, my passion, and the healing/maintenance journey ahead. ✨🐴🐶

Dear Valued Clients,

I would like to start by thank you for your continued support. I am so honoured to be part of your companions health care team. I am reaching out to update everyone on some upcoming schedule changes starting October 20th 2025.

As many of you know, the property and housing market has been astronomical. Being self employed has made this dream slightly harder to achieve in Ontario, however, I am pleased to announce that I have found a dream property in Nova Scotia, and will be moving.

Please do not be alarmed, Ontario clients will still receive the best care, we will just be booking slightly differently! I would like to continue to come back to Ontario every 4-6 weeks starting December 15th, but this will depend on the demand.

To allow myself some time to get settled in Nova Scotia, I will not be booking clients from October 20th 2025 - December 14th 2025.

Should you be interested in booking an appointment before October 20th, or pre-book for the week of December 15th 2025, please do not hesitate to reach out.

As always, my top priorities are your equine and canine companions, I will ensure to direct you to trusted professionals within the industry should this schedule change no longer work for you / your companion is dealing with an acute injury.

I would like to thank you for your understanding, on going support, and apologize for any inconvenience this may have.

Ideal / Tentative Ontario Schedule: *subject to change*
Dec 15-21 2025
Jan 26 - 31 2026
Mar 9 - 14 2026
Apr 20 - 25 2026
