About Mentor Me
Tina’s desire to help the equine bodywork community has been growing for several years. It’s through mentorship herself with some of the industry's top veterinarians that has helped Tina develop a unique way of looking at the horse, and rocketed her bodywork sessions from good to phenomenal. The bodywork community has embraced Tina as a mentor locally and the expansion of this was the next step. Tina has instructed in Canada for several international programs and has been lecturing for decades. Through teaching these intensive courses, she has honed her skills to ensure that each student is able to comprehend the material presented in a way that is beneficial to them. She continues her teaching year-round by mentoring aspiring bodyworkers one-on-one.
This year we thought it would be beneficial to utilize Tina’s skills and reach out to individuals globally through our online platform and the Mentor-Me program. Mentor-Me has several avenues one, can participate in. We host live Mentor Me events; these dates can be viewed on the education schedule. We are excited to invite you to indulge in the mentorship content we offer on our education platform. Link to our program here.

The more we at Inhand learn, the more we know there is SO much more to learn. Our founding body worker, Tina Watkins is a seeker. She has taken courses or done mentorship with Veterinarians from all over the world yearly for the last 25 years of practice. Through this learning, she is sure that coming together to learn from one and other is KEY to really understanding the function of the equine athlete and how we as wellness practitioners can delve deeper into uncovering the core of what is limiting these athletes from being a top level performer.
