Mary Ann Menetrey is a Certified EPR Foundations Instructor and Practitioner of Equine Positional Release.  Mary Ann began studying EPR in 2006 and has been teaching EPR Foundations classes since 2016. Her studies were initially driven by a desire to help her own horses with physical, emotional and health issues where traditional medicine could not find a solution.  She saw the most profound and lasting results for horses with EPR, which is particularly suited to the nature of the horse, in that the work is comfortable and pain-free. 

"  The possibilities for change become endless once the horse realizes that there will be no pain associated with the work and that they have a say in the process.  The non force, inclusive ethos promotes an environment of trust and safety for the horse, building cooperative horse-human relationships."  

​

A passionate student of the natural sciences, Mary Ann’s studies have also included B.S. and M.S. degrees in Soil Science.  She spent many years managing programs for the State of New Mexico dedicated to improving the quality of land and water resources.  In these positions she honed her ability to build teams and to listen and understand points of view without judgement; skills which have been invaluable in her life, practice and teaching.

Mary Ann has studied other non force modalities, practicing Ortho-Bionomy and is a Certified Practitioner of the Masterson Method. 

Mary Ann has been an avid horsewoman most of her life, training in several disciplines including trail, dressage, reining and cutting.  She bases her equine and human practice, Primo Motion Bodywork, near Espanola, New Mexico USA.
