Rachel has had a passion for animals for as long as she can remember. She has taught horseback riding lessons for 7 years, manages her own barn, exercised and trained horses as well as interning as a stallion manager at UC Davis. For years, Rachel had struggled with the performance issues of her horse Parker, and wanted to find a way to help him feel his best. Parker was often angry during chiropractic sessions and disliked a lot of touch around his body. Upon discovering the Masterton Method® form of bodywork, Rachel had a practitioner out to work on Parker. She saw how calm and happy he was to receive a softer touch that worked with him in a relaxed state. In the days that followed this session, Parker was a different horse. He was bucking and playing in turnout and felt more forward and supple under saddle. This is when Rachel knew she needed to get involved in this work.
