My love of horses began when I was a child. I wasn’t afforded the opportunity to be around them or ride until my 40s, when I became a volunteer at Winslow Therapeutic Riding Center. Nearly 20 years later, Winslow and the horses I’ve met along the way continue to hold a very special place in my heart.
It was through Winslow that I was first introduced to The Masterson Method®. I was fortunate enough to participate in a clinic there, and I immediately knew I wanted to learn more. At the time, life as a busy mom didn’t allow me to pursue that dream, but as my children grew and began their own adult lives, I finally had the opportunity to follow my heart.
What began as a desire to give back to the horses who give so much to people has grown into a true passion. I am now both a Masterson Method Equine Specialist and a Masterson Method Certified Practitioner, and I am grateful for the opportunity to continue expanding my knowledge and helping horses through this unique approach to bodywork.
Through my experiences with horses, I have witnessed many beautiful moments of connection, trust, and release. I am continually amazed by how much horses communicate when we slow down, listen, and allow them to tell us what they need. Some of the most meaningful moments happen when we simply give a horse the time and space to respond.
To me, the magic of The Masterson Method® is in the quiet conversation that takes place between horse and human. It’s about learning to listen without words, recognizing the subtle signs a horse gives us, and allowing them to participate in their own release. Watching a horse soften, let go of tension, and begin to relax is something that never gets old. Those moments of trust and connection are what make this work so special to me.
My own personal journey has also deepened my appreciation for the connection between horses and humans. I believe there is something incredibly special about the relationship we share with these magnificent animals, and I feel fortunate to have found a way to give back to them. My approach is quiet, patient, gentle, and guided by the horse. I strive to meet each horse where they are, respecting their individual needs and allowing them to set the pace.
Through 4 the Love of Horses, my goal is to help horses feel their best, support their comfort and well-being, and give back to the animals who give us so much.
I am based in Chester, New York, and serve the Hudson Valley and surrounding areas, with a willingness to travel farther for the right opportunity.
I feel incredibly blessed to be able to follow this dream and look forward to meeting and helping many more horses along the way.
