About Me
Enhancing Equine Wellness One Bodywork at a Time.
My Journey:
My lifelong connection with horses began during my childhood in France, where I grew up riding. That early passion eventually turned into a global adventure. Over the years, I have worked across the equine industry worldwide—from managing carriage driving teams in Ireland and Australia to working as a competition groom for elite showjumping stables in Germany, assisting an equine veterinarian, and working at an Australian breeding stable. These diverse roles gave me a deep, practical understanding of equine behavior and the unique physical demands placed on horses at every stage of life.
In 2024, I earned my Equine Massage Therapist certification in Switzerland. While this training provided me with an excellent foundation in addressing muscle disorders, joint stiffness, and musculoskeletal pathologies, I found myself searching for something more. Traditional massage felt like I was doing something to the horse. I wanted a deeper way to work with the horse—to truly listen, communicate, and build a partnership in healing.
That search led me to the Masterson Method®, where I became a Certified Practitioner in June 2026.
The Power of Mindfulness & Patience
Outside of the barn, I am also a yoga teacher for young children. This practice has deeply influenced how I work with horses. Teaching yoga to kids requires immense patience, a calm presence, and total mindfulness—skills that translate perfectly to the Masterson Method. Horses are incredibly sensitive to human energy; they know instantly if we are rushed or distracted. My background in mindfulness allows me to enter the stall completely grounded, creating a safe, quiet space where even the most sensitive or anxious horses feel secure enough to let down their guard and release deep-seated tension.
My Philosophy & Approach
By combining my knowledge of biomechanics and pathology with a mindful, patient approach, I work with the horse’s nervous system to facilitate lasting physical relief.
Whether your horse needs to improve their performance, balance, and posture under saddle, is a breeding mare needing physical relief, or is recovering from a musculoskeletal lesion, my goal is to support their well-being. More importantly, I prioritize a relationship built on trust and mutual communication. I don’t just treat symptoms; I listen to what your horse’s body is trying to say, giving them an active voice in their own wellness and recovery.
I look forward to collaborating with you and your horse to unlock their full potential!
My Qualifications
What Makes Me Stand Out :
Masterson method- Beyond Horse Massage
Equine Massage therapist Certificate.
Equitation Science diploma - In-Hand training.
Horse Management Certificate.
Avril 2024 - June 2026.
I have recently become a certified practitioner of the Masterson Method, an interactive holistic approach to equine bodywork.
After attending a weekend seminar in April 2024 France and completing an advanced five-day course in England in November 2024, I enrolled in the Fieldwork course to deepen my understanding and skills in this effective method.
The Masterson Method® is a unique, interactive form of equine bodywork that allows the horse to actively participate in the release of deep muscle tension. Unlike traditional therapies, this method works with the horse, rather than on the horse.
By closely observing the horse’s subtle, involuntary nervous system responses—such as blinking, licking, chewing, or a deep sigh—I can detect exactly where stress is stored and use light touch to help them release it.
March 2023 - April 2024
2017 - 2019
During this training, I learned how to practice treatments aimed at reducing or even eliminating muscle disorders, as well as joint problems. But also certain pathologies caused by lesions of the musculoskeletal system. Equine massage, as learned during this training, allows the horse to increase its performance, balance and posture, which is also beneficial for the rider. Massage also acts psychologically by calming the horse.
Equitation science represents the scientific study of horsemanship. How the language of training and riding is studied by psychology, ethology, and veterinary science. Equine science is the measurements and interpretations between horses and their rider/trainer. Our in-hand training signals are intentionally designed to be similar to under-saddle signals, making it easier for your horse to understand. With shaping techniques and a focus on ethical animal training and human safety.
