Kris LaRoche
Kris LaRoche is a holistic equine bodyworker, certified professional life coach, and transformative educator based in Western Montana. With over 30 years in education, leadership development, and coaching, Kris brings a unique depth to her work with horses and their guardians
After apprenticing four years under Dr. Sid Erickson, a master in Functional Neurology and Applied Kinesiology, Kris developed a gentle yet precise manual therapy method. Her approach uses diagnostic electrical systems (via hand‑mode bodywork) and careful observation to support horses' nervous system alignment, movement, relaxation, and balance. Clients often see dramatic results—including horses yawning repeatedly during a session—indicating deep systemic shifts.
In 2024, she transitioned from a long career in teaching to focus full‑time on equine (and canine) bodywork and coaching, offering personalized sessions and public clinics across Montana and beyond.
