I'm Ashleigh Howland (she/her)
Owner & CEO
Howland Muscular Therapy
Founder of EquiForm™.

 
I am a licensed muscular therapist and certified personal trainer. I use rehabilitative breathing & motor control/biomechanics to help two distinct groups, both equally close to my heart:

1) The competitive horseback rider who wants to improve their position & performance in the saddle

2) The active woman over 30 who is ready to eliminate back pain.
​
I’m a lifelong equestrian who has fox hunted, hunter paced, evented, and trail ridden, mostly with my trusty dragon-mare, Elsa. I grew up on a horse-farm outside Boston, and I have always found the best communities & people through the barns I've known.

You'll often catch me training odor recognition or tracking with Jolene (the bloodhound); reading in the sun; at a whisky tasting; or power lifting early in the morning (not after a whisky tasting!).

Three things I live for?
My girls, Elsa & Jolene; Halloween; and the Ah-ha! moments my clients experience in my care
