Joy Campbell grew up around horses in Jupiter Florida. Growing up, she would volunteer her summers to work in barns for the trade of experience and riding lessons. Joy started her career over 12 years ago as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor. In 1999 she completed a human massage therapy certification program and soon after moved to Charlotte, NC. By 2000 she became Nationally Certified in Massage Therapy and became licensed in NC. Since then she completed a 250 hour course and became certified in neuromuscular therapy. She is also a certified sports massage therapist, and has training in myofascial release, deep tissue, trigger point release, acupressure, hydrotherapy, stretching, reiki and reflexology. Joy taught massage therapy for 4 years at an accredited school in Charlotte.

Knowing that the horses’ anatomy is the same as ours, she began her quest for the best training in equine massage therapy. With a lot of 1-2 week certifying equine massage workshop, she knew she could not learn enough in that short amount of time. She decided on training by Mike Scott with Equine Massage Muscle Therapy. Within this course she was able to train with other reputable massage therapists, chiropractors, farriers, and saddle fitters. After completing a 250 hour course with Mike Scott, she has continued her equine training in advanced myofascial energetics for the horse, has become trained as a Cruelty Investigator for the Equine with the US Equine Rescue League, taken classes for Myofascial Release and TMJ Treatments for the equine with Jean Pierre Hourbebaigh and participated in an Equine Cadaver Lab/Lecture @ Tufts University in Massachusetts. She also works closely with Healing Horses, a local Equine Rescue and Rehabilitation Foundation.

Joy is constantly striving to farther her education and trainig to be as effective as possible in her treatments with the horses she works with.
