News From Jim 


Hi everyone, Happy New Year!

As you read this I am finishing up teaching Phase I and III at Stanford University.


After a short stop at home to pack,  I will start my annual trek to West Palm Beach, Florida for the winter leaving behind frigid Iowa.  Let's just say I don't feel too badly about doing just that!

I am looking forward to the season in Wellington at the Winter Equestrian Festival and will be working there until Mid-March.  This year looks to be an exciting one with all the trials for the 2012 Olympics being held at the WEF.  I will have the opportunity to work on some of those amazing athletes!

We have additions to the Calendar of Seminars
with the help of Cindee Van Dijk our new Seminar Coordinator.  She has been a dynamo at the office jumping in to schedule future seminars and register those who want to participate.  If you have a venue that you think might just work, and want to create a seminar in your area, she's your gal.

Below, is the bio on Carina Di Battista, a new Certified Practitioner in the UK.

Shan Boggs has a blog set up on
Interesting People and has highlighted my work.  You might send this link to your friends that don't know about the Masterson Method™ and check it out yourself.

For those of you who have contacted me with your bodywork questions, we have a
Discussion Forum on the website. Post your questions there so that everyone can benefit from the answers.  I will be monitoring it from Florida, and Yvonne Ohlensehlen, one of our Certified Instructors and our Phase II Mentor Coordinator is also keeping a close watch to help answer your questions.

Until then, like me, enjoy your horses!

New Practitioner in the UK:
Carina Di Battista

by Carina Di Battista 

 

Carina has amalgamated over 35 years of experience, and training to provide an integrated healing system she calls R.E.S.H.A.P.E.
Which is a system of integrating methods, that can facilitate a release of restrictive holding patterns in the body. Restoring the animals natural balance and flexibility, through touch and energetic alignment.

 

It incorporates many different mediums such as Reiki/Healing, Acupressure/Shiatsu, Sports Massage Therapy/Body work, Photonic Therapy, Cranial Laser Reflex Technique, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Positional/Myofascial Release and Kinesiology.

 

Working with both human and animals; she uses a non invasive gentle, light approach, where the patient dictates the pace. She is a fully Licensed member of the Association of Osteomyologists. She regularly works alongside Chiropractors (Human and Animal) Vets and GP's helping people with conditions such as stress, headaches, frozen shoulder, neck, back and knee problems and sciatic pain and animals with stress, behavioral and mobility problems.

 

Having spent a life of loving and caring for animals, Carina began to use her healing skills in this area, which lead to her joining Ingraham Academy of Zoopharmacognosy, (Equine/small animal) Advanced Photonic Therapy UK (Equine/Canine/Human) and The Healing Animal Organisation; achieving  Diplomas in Equine and Small animal. She has since provided much comfort and relief to small animals and equines using her unique healing techniques.

 

She continues to expand her skills in this area by attending ongoing training courses to enhance her technique and is delighted to have found Jim who brings it all together beautifully in his Masterson Method™. Having completed the certification programme, Carina is enjoying working with the team as a Phase II mentor.

 

Carina is based in the Hampshire/Dorset region of the UK and can be contacted on 07766801355 and cdbatt@hotmail.co.uk and is happy to travel to any location in the UK.

Testimonial

bookcover

Dear Jim:  I received your new book in the mail yesterday afternoon.  I'm
having the hardest time deciding what to do - get out to my horse,  
or continue reading and learning!  I LOVE the book and can't wait to  
get out to see the results for my horses.  Your book is so easy to  
read and understand.

Perhaps you will have a clinic in my area that I can attend.  I love  
what I'm learning.  THANKS!

Karen Eklund, Emporia, Kansas
