I was one of those lucky children who grew up riding ponies and horses bareback over the farm, helping muster cattle and camping out. I completely fell in love with anything to do with horses. The adults in my life taught me to listen to my horse, to try and work in partnership together and to trust that they knew more than we understood.
I found The Masterson Method® when I was looking for something to help a very anxious, tense horse I was riding, working stock together. I had attended clinics to learn more about communication and connection with horses and lots of these ideas helped but I was frustrated that I couldn’t get any further.
Then a friend went to a weekend course with Jim and came home to show me some techniques that changed this horse’s life. Her body relaxed and we grew closer together as I started to do less ‘to’ her and more ‘with’ her.
I attended a weekend course, then started practicing on all our horses, I realised this was something that could help any and every horse no matter their breeding, temperament, age or discipline.
I found the Masterson Method community to be incredibly supportive and thoroughly enjoyed the engaging training and fascinating study required to become certified. I now offer bodywork sessions to horses as well as working with humans regarding understanding communication and connection with their equine partners.
I’m so excited to see where this journey takes me and to meet all the horses and humans along the way.
