Tiffany Bastarache

Masterson Method Certified Practitioner

Hi, I’m Tiffany!

Owner of Beyond Barriers Bodywork and New Brunswick’s first Masterson Method Certified Practitioner.

My OTTB, Sam, led me on this journey 7 years ago when something just wasn’t quite right and no one seemed to have the answers. My love for learning drove me to dig deeper into how the horse’s body works, how the human body works and how they work together.

In 2018 I took an anatomy course and started learning traditional massage, but knew it went deeper than muscles. My passion for the nervous system and desire to find a softer path led me to the Masterson Method.

When I started working WITH the horse, not on the horse, I started seeing incredible changes not only in the horse’s body, but in their minds. As their bodies become a happier place to be, I’ve seen vices slip away, horses become more connected with their owners and more willing to perform.

I learned kinesiology taping along the way, which supports the horse’s nervous system in between sessions, helping create lasting changes in the horse’s body.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your horse’s wellness journey, I can’t wait to work with you!

What is the
Masterson Method?

Learn more

The Masterson Method is a gentle form of Integrative Bodywork that works WITH the horse. Bringing awareness to areas of the horse’s body where they are holding tension so they’re able to release it.

It means reading the horse and staying below their natural bracing response. By bringing their bodies through a range of motion in a relaxed state we release tension in key junctions of the body.

“Be particular. The horse learns not to be particular unless the rider is. The horse does of two things. He does what he thinks he's supposed to do, or he does what he thinks he needs to do to survive.”
