Masterson Method® Equine & Canine Courses

As a Masterson Method Certified Practitioner Equine, I have experienced and experimented with the The Masterson Method® bodywork on all sorts of barn dogs at the ranches I visit. It’s not unusual to see a dog waiting outside the stall for their turn at some gentle touch to help release accumulated tensions. With the start of 2024, I am honored to be on the forefront of instructors who will embark on teaching the Masterson Method Beyond Dog Massage courses.

My bodywork journey may have begun with the horse, but it has continually been infused with delving into learning canine techniques. Currently I am certified through the National Board of Certification for Animal Acupressure & Massage, Tallgrass Animal Acupressure Institute in canine and equine acupressure, and have also completed the Tallgrass Tui-Na canine massage course. I know that having this knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine acupressure meridians and points is a continuous benefit to my Masterson Method bodywork.

If there is a dog (or more) in your life, the Masterson Method Beyond Dog Massage courses are a must. You will learn how to read your dog’s response to gentle touch and help them release tension that affects movement, comfort and longevity.

My dogs and I look forward to meeting you and your pup in class!

WHAT DID YOU PERSONALLY FIND TO BE THE MOST HELPFUL?

Stay, stay, stay and then stay--and the epiphany that you really can release other areas through techniques supposedly concentrating on a separate area. (I knew this, really I did, but it was striking in LTC).

Kalin’s energy

is perfect and because of her energy, I never got tired or bored or frustrated or uncomfortable with the material. Her teaching style helped me retain more information.

 

 

 

 

 

The class was well organized and broken up into good sized sections for easy learning. Kalin is a fantastic teacher! She is very knowledgeable and kind. Her excitement about the subject is contagious.

This was the most fun 2 days ever! I loved the development of the intense communication, focus & learning to read the energy of the horse. I had a

horse for years & I think it was the communication that I was looking for. The instructor was so competent; With every touch in a demo she exuded warmth, caring and respect for the animal.…

Anyone who loves horses will love this class. Anyone can learn these techniques and use them to improve the lives of horses! In every Masterson class I’ve taken I’ve met the most wonderful humans and horses, I come away inspired and excited to learn more.

​

​

​

It was amazing to see how the horses reacted to just the softest touch. 

​

​

​

 

 

The connections created in

this course are truly magical.

​

IF YOU WERE TO RECCOMEND THIS COURSE,WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?

Anyone who loves horses loves will love this class.

Anyone can learn these techniques and use them to improve the lives of horses! In every Masterson class I’ve taken I’ve met the most

If you love horses this is a course for you. It’s away to give back to the horses in our lives and help them feel better and respected through gentle touch and observing the horse's response. It will for sure deepen your relationship and communication with horses.

​

 

​

​

Every rider, every coach, every horse handler, every person who is around a horse should have this course as a basic requirement to handling. Not all horses have the temperament to be touched and manipulated in the conventional way most of us have learned. This light to the core approach can help reactive horses calm, old creaky achy horses loose up

without exaggerated limb movements, sensitive horses begin to trust and in turn allow us to help them feel better. I feel this technique

should be the basis of everything when dealing with the horse. It keeps up present and the horse feels our intention and good things

(releases) always seem to follow!!

The instructor was so competent; With every touch in a demo she exuded warmth, caring and respect for the animal.…

​

If you want to have a very special experience celebrating with another living being in a way that you both are changed forever; try this course.

​​

​

​

​​​

​

​

That you will learn so much! And you will leave

the course confident that you can do

everything, light to core touch.
