Education / Certification
I am a Certified Equine Professional with Masterson Method. This intense and comprehensive program includes over 400 hours of in person training and casework. The purpose of The Masterson Method is to improve performance, well-being, relationship, and communication in the healthy horse and is not intended as a replacement for professional veterinary care. Our main goal is to look for tension in the horse and release that tension increasing performance and reducing the risk of the long term impact of that tension.
Notes from a Client

Texas has had several sessions with Michelle. I have seen increased improvement with each session. Texas definitely had tension in her poll showing up as head tossing. She is responding great to the Masterson Method techniques. Texas is an anxious mare and seems to be more relaxed with every session. - Jeanne Milius

My gelding, Tocco, has been anxious in the past during farrier appointments. He stood with his head up and eyes alert ready to back away as soon as he felt it necessary. That all changed after Michelle did the Masterson Method with him. The day after Michelle worked with Tocco, he stood relaxed with his head down while getting shoes. It was a stark difference from the previous appointment. I have confidence that Michelle’s application of the Masterson Method and her expertise really helped Tocco. - Marti Pruhs
