Meet Christina
Your Equine Wellness Partner
Hi, I'm Christina Rountree, a lifelong Texan and dedicated equine wellness advocate. I'm the founder of Equi-Vive: Equine Massage & Dry Salt Therapy, and my mission is to support the health and performance of horses through natural, holistic therapies. My passion for horses began in childhood and has grown into a lifelong commitment to their care, one that led me to pursue advanced training in equine massage and dry salt therapy.
As a Certified Equine Massage Therapist and Dry Salt Therapy Practitioner, I provide customized, hands-on treatments that promote relaxation, ease muscle tension, support respiratory health, and improve overall well-being. I'm proud to serve horses across Texas and beyond, bringing comfort, care, and balance to these incredible animals.
Our Story
Dry salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, has roots stretching back generations as a natural way to support respiratory and skin health in both people and animals. Over the past century, salt therapy has grown in recognition for easing breathing difficulties and skin irritation, and that same gentle, natural approach has since been adapted specifically for horses, offering a drug-free path to better respiratory health and overall wellness.
Equine massage carries an equally rich history, growing out of generations of hands-on horsemanship and care. As equestrian sports and horse racing grew in popularity through the 20th century, the need for specialized therapies suited to equine athletes became clear. That demand led to the development of formal massage techniques, training programs, and certifications dedicated specifically to horses, the same techniques used in sessions today.
