About Amy
Amy’s connection with horses began at ten years old at horse camp, where she first felt the quiet pull of partnership that would shape her life’s work. What began as fascination grew into formal training as a Licensed Veterinary Technician and a Bachelor of Science degree. She became a Certified Human-Animal Intervention Specialist, a Usui Reiki Master, and a Masterson Method Certified Practitioner. Amy has dedicated her professional career to holistically supporting animals, with a special focus on horses, helping them move with greater comfort, balance, and freedom in their work with people. She continues to advance her education in equine anatomy, biomechanics, the nervous system, nutrition, hoof and dental care, myofascial release, and lymph health.
Owning and caring for her own horses turned Amy’s curiosity into lived experience. Managing insulin resistance and metabolic flare-ups led her to explore the deep connections between diet, metabolic health, hoof and dental care. These experiences taught her to slow down and listen. For Amy, bodywork is not something done to a horse, but something discovered with them — a quiet conversation where the horse’s responses guide the work. Through the gentle, multidisciplinary techniques of the Masterson Method, she is prepared to help identify and release tension in horses of all kinds — from endurance and competitive performance athletes to beloved backyard partners.
Her training in the Masterson Method gave language and structure to what she had long sensed — that the most powerful results often come from subtle, precise work within the horse’s nervous system. Through careful observation, empathetic listening, and deep respect for the horse’s feedback, she helps release tension and restore balance. This is the quiet work that powers performance.
Because true partnership isn’t loud.
It’s felt — stride after stride.

Conditioning starts with listening.
The Philosophy of Release
Restorative bodywork is more than a physical intervention; it is a conversation with the nervous system. By prioritizing calm over force, we unlock a horse's potential for competitive advantage through release by first focusing on a connection that reduces resistance.
A release often comes after a bodywork professional has released the tension in a part of the body. It's subtle but you'll recognize it as licking and chewing, yawning, full body shake, and blowing out.
