Resources that influence my practice
In addition to holding Equine Massage Certification, I prioritize continuous learning through multifaceted educational resources. Recognizing the impossibility of exhaustive knowledge, I value the open sharing of expertise by esteemed equestrian professionals. While navigating the extensive information landscape presents challenges, I selectively apply principles that resonate with my clients and practice. This page is a collection of the influential voices whose work informs my methodology. By engaging with their websites, social media, and courses, horse owners can access these valuable tools. These professionals' expertise has significantly broadened my capabilities, and I encourage clients to explore their resources. Ultimately, a unified approach to horse care, fueled by diverse expertise, yields optimal outcomes for equine well-being.
"The Masterson Method® is a unique, interactive method of equine bodywork that anyone can learn, to help build trust with the horse. Years of stress and stiffness can often be resolved in a few sessions, by relieving built-up tension in core muscles and key junctions of the body that affect the horse’s performance.
With The Masterson Method®, you learn to recognize and use the responses of the horse to find and release tension. In contrast to traditional massage, it works with the horse’s nervous system and the horse actively participates in the process. It is something you do with the horse, rather than to the horse. This participation and interaction are what makes the method fulfilling for those who use it and transformational for the horse. Testimonial after testimonial describe radically improved performance, movement, behavior, and relationship with the owner, as a result of The Masterson Method®.

Balance Through Movement Method
"The most simple and effective checklist that you can implement into any discipline.
You truly can, train for soundness.
“Whatever you do, don't give up on your horse until you've tried the Balanced Through Movement Method(TM).
So many undiagnosed lameness issues magically go away once the horses body as been set up into structural integrity and allowed the opportunity to heal.
It's everything that we’ve chased from the masters, but beautifully broken down to make it easy to understand, implement and speak to.
It’s truly like nothing you've ever seen before”."
"We are excited to bring a new paradigm of thinking that involves a “whole horse” approach in diagnosing and treating performance issues in sport horses. Our mission is to provide new hope to the lives of horses and owners with cutting-edge and critical scientific research to discover new treatment options.
We are passionate and love what we do and are dedicated to the health and well-being of the horse, by always putting the Horse First!"
"Horses Inside Out is an award-winning, internationally recognised organisation founded by Gillian Higgins in 2006.
Its purpose is to give riders, coaches, and therapists, in fact, anyone interested in discovering more about horses, a fascinating insight into equine locomotion, training, management and welfare from an anatomical perspective."
