Lori Hoppe, MMCP

Lori’s natural attraction to equine bodywork started very soon after she began riding at her local hunter/jumper barns in 2003. As a human bodyworker/massage therapist her curiosity guided her to learning everything she could about horses with a strong focus on the horse’s body language. During certification as an Equine Massage Therapist, Lori was given The Beyond Horse Massage Book by a friend and continued her studies becoming a Masterson Method Certified Practitioner, Coach, Mentor and Instructor. Her daily practice has developed into Horse and Rider Bodywork with the ‘less is more’ techniques easing into her human bodywork practice. Lori’s recent move to Kelowna, BC has given her the opportunity to continue sharing her passion for The Masterson Method in another community along with traveling to Calgary every other month to work with her equine clients, riders and coaching upcoming Masterson Method students. Lori has worked with a wide range of horses: dressage, trail, endurance, eventers, hunter/jumper, as well as lesson horses and aging equines. (Source)
