I’m Veera, originally from Finland and now living in Belgium. Horses have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked as a farrier since 2021, and in autumn 2026 I became a Masterson Method Certified Practitioner Equine (MMCP).
When I started out, I soon realised there’s only so much you can understand by looking at the feet alone. The feet and the rest of the body are so closely connected that what you see in the hoof is sometimes influenced by what’s happening higher up in the body, and vice versa.
I wanted another way to help horses as a whole, so I started looking for a bodywork method I could learn alongside my farrier work. That search led me to a Masterson Method weekend seminar in autumn 2023.
I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical at first, but horse after horse proved me wrong. When you give a horse the time and space to feel, respond and release, you can see some pretty amazing changes. What I love most about The Masterson Method® is that you never force a release. You work together with the horse and let them show you what they’re ready for. After all these years with horses, I’m still fascinated by how much they have to tell us, if we slow down enough to listen.
I am looking forward to meeting many more horses and to help them feel better in their bodies!
