Gennie Lorin – Horse Whisperer

Under the hush of early light at The Grand Oaks Resort in Weirsdale, Florida, where mist settles over broad pastures and the low rustle of equine breathing fills the air, Genny Lorin—known within the mystically inclined circle of IVI Healing as "Ifigeneia"—begins her day.

Here, amidst the framed serenity of grazing horses, she offers more than healing; she offers a way of listening back to bodies long taught to stay silent.

Lorin is a fasciotherapist, animal communicator, and naturopath—titles that might seem scattered across the map of Western medicine and the arcane, but that converge coherently in the IVI Healing Method. This approach treats the horse not merely as an animal but as an embodied confluence of physical structure, emotional history, diet, immune resilience, and habitual bearing. In this methodology, each horse is a text to be read, every scar an argument, every shift in posture a confession. IVI Healing Methodivi Healing

Her process is slow, attentive, and intimate. You might see her tracing along tendons and ligaments—fascia therapy—sitting quietly yet insistently alongside a powerful animal, allowing energy to flow and emotions to surface. She extends her practice to magnetism, bioresonance testing, and what she and her collaborator Julian describe as animal communication—conversations that stretch the boundaries between species.

Lorin gives form to a gentle architecture of holistic equine care. She traces a lineage of healing that culminates not just in hands-on sessions at The Grand Oaks but also in publishing. Through IVI Healing Editions, she and her team have created a small imprint dedicated to animal well-being, natural health, and the world as seen through equine eyes. IVI Healing 

Volumes emerge like whispered hymns.

• Re-learning to Heal (Volume 1), written as Ifigeneia, lays out the theory and practice behind the IVI Healing Method—a seven-year labor of sessions and patient attention distilled into a manual of care. IVI Healing 

• Communicating with the Living (Volume 2), a reissue of her Communication Animale au Quotidien, invites readers into the rhythms of interspecies understanding, suggesting that animals and humans share conduits of perception awaiting recognition. IVI Healing 

• Holistic Equine Nutrition (Volume 3), released in March 2025, is a painstakingly researched guide to feeding horses naturally, including thirteen scientific studies bridging intuition and evidence.IVI Healing 

There are novels, too. Je m’appelle Radja and Gypsy du Domaine des Braves tell stories through animal perspectives—recounting the lived realities of a horse ambassador or the imagined journey of a Malinois mother and her puppies.

As well as her more recent work, “Domino le Dresseur de Papillons”—a quietly beguiling novel that unfolds through the eyes of a cat. Far from a whimsical gimmick, the feline narrator lends the story a disarmingly intimate lens, inviting us into a world where the boundaries between the domestic and the wild, the instinctive and the poetic, begin to blur. Genny uses the animal perspective not only as a narrative device, but as a means of philosophical inquiry—what does it mean to observe, to belong, to possess memory without the burden of speech?

This duality—clinical, empathic, literary—resonates with a deepening sense of care. Lorin’s practice is not about replacing science but about listening: to the body of the horse, to the text of its being, to the wordless narratives carried beneath coat and tendon. She asks a fundamental yet elusive question: What does it mean to truly heal when the patient has no words?

Her work is anchored, modern, and quietly radical. In an era beset by fractured attention, she chooses patience. Amid anthropocentric urgency, she chooses equine voices. In the cold reduction of science, she re-inserts the warmth of story.

Perhaps what makes Genny Lorin—or Ifigeneia—most compelling is this: she dwells at the intersection of healing, literature, animal life, and natural science. A horse leans its head into her palm. A novel frames a consciousness not human. A healing method honors tissue as well as myth.

And in the hush of early morning on that rolling Florida plain, it is enough to stand aside and observe how she listens.

Though she grounds horses, dogs, and humans alike in their bodies and stories, Lorin, too, must return to her own center—replenishing the well from which she gives. What a pleasure it was to welcome Gennie at N’espa. She submitted to a different kind of stillness: therapeutic care not for the horse, but for the healer.

In her words, it was “a mirror held up gently,” a necessary rhythm of receiving after so much intentional giving.
