I found The Masterson Method® through a friend who introduced me to MMCP, Amy Alford who was then still in fieldwork. When I had Amy out to work on my own horse, Buddy, I was impressed at how he melted into Amy’s arms. I knew she had to check out this method and soon found myself in a 2 day Beyond Horse Massage Course. I was hooked.

Taking the path to become a certified Masterson Method® Practitioner has changed my life, notably emerging when I found myself at a significantly challenging crossroad. This doesn’t begin to touch on the impact Masterson Method® has had on me. I really have no words to express the effect of Masterson Method® on her life; it is beyond description.

My daughter and I have a shared passion for horses. They have ridden in gymkhana together, and now my daughter has moved into reining while my path has gone from sorting cows to boxing cows. My old ranch horse, Buddy, is now retired and enjoys his Masterson Method® sessions. The ranch disciplines can take a toll on horses especially in the hind end region. I understand the needs of these highly competitive horses and work to help them regain their stride.

As an MMCP I am dedicated to sharing this profound evolution I have gone through with the horses who come my way for bodywork. I have a gentle touch and ability to read the horse to best help them release tensions and restrictions in their body. Located in the Gilroy area, I will travel to the around Gilroy, San Jose, Salinas and beyond, as well as the Central Valley to help your horse realize their full potential. I have added bodywork for dogs to my schedule as well.
