Masterson Method Bodywork
$40If you donate this item towards the care of a Halleck Creek Ranch horse, Lisa will DOUBLE it and treat two horses.
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.
Lisa Star, MMCP - is a Masterson Method Certified Practitioner. She is offering a full session of approximately 1.5 to 2 hours (depending on the horse). She will explore an intake with the owner and then proceed with the session. The horse will thank you!
