Elissa Hambright

Based in sunny Tucson, AZ, I'm not just your average massage therapist for horses and dogs; I'm their wellness advocate! My journey is all about embracing the power of essential oils and crafting a toxin-free haven for our furry friends.

But that's not all! I'm on a mission to empower fellow dog and horse moms to join me on this holistic adventure. Together, we'll explore the world of essential oils, wellness routines, and building online businesses. 

When I'm not busy spreading love to our four-legged companions, you'll find me in the saddle, mastering the art of dressage and working equitation. And let's not forget my years of experience in combined driving and as a certified veterinary technician!

Join me on this incredible journey towards wellness, empowerment, and a toxin-free lifestyle. Let's create a community that's as vibrant as our passions!
