Head Instructor Equine Education USA

Hi everyone, thank you for joining us here at Equine Education USA. My name is Natalie, I am the founder and head instructor of our program. Equine massage is a family business and has been a part of my life and career for nearly 20 years. My mother is an Equine Massage Therapist, and operates one of the original Certification Programs on the west coast. I have an extensive background as an Equine Bodyworker, Instructor, and competitive rider. I have trained and certified hundreds of students over the past 9 years of my career. The most important part of my job is healing horses, and advocating for equine welfare. An education in equine massage with us is much greater than simply practicing massage - you will learn how to read and understand equine behavior and biomechanics in a completely different light. Join us, and make a positive impact on your own life, career, the lives of horses, and the equine industry as a whole.
