Keegan is a certified Masterson Method® practitioner, an integrative bodywork practice that works with the animal’s nervous system. Masterson method helps animals drop into their parasympathetic nervous system, release tension and build trust. Masterson Method® practitioners can be found worldwide.
Bodywork does not replace a veterinarian or any other equine professional, although it can uncover areas an animal may be carrying pain or tension, and help direct where further attention may be necessary. Keegan combines many years of experience working with stock in the backcountry as a Wilderness Ranger, with recent years as a Licensed Massage Therapist (for people), to blend these passions of body health and performance to apply to working animals. It can be beneficial to monitor herd health, maintain muscle balance in performance animals, build trust with wary animals, release tension and compensation from issues or injuries (once past the acute stage) or help aging horses be more comfortable. Each animal is unique and may respond differently. Demo half-day clinics to learn about equine bodywork and the benefits available on request for a minimum of 5 participants (and their horses).
