My Story
For much of my life, I knew how to be strong…
I grew up in a small mountain town where nature and animals became my sanctuary. I was the youngest in a blended, hardworking family, and independence was not optional – it was expected. In a world where I often felt unseen, I learned early how to work hard and push through, I became resilient, capable, and independent. But inside, I often felt like I was living in between, never fully fitting in, always striving to be enough.
Trust was broken, boundaries were crossed, and somewhere along the way, I learned to survive by disconnecting from parts of myself. I told myself I was being strong. What I did not realize was that strength and survival are not the same thing.
In 2000, I became a Licensed Massage Therapist. Building a thriving business working hands on with people and animals. Through this, I learned to listen with my hands, witnessing how the body carries unspoken stories. Tension is rarely just physical, it is emotional and mental too.
As I supported others in releasing what their bodies were holding, my own inner voice began asking for more. I began studying human behavior and the unconscious patterns that shape our lives. In 2018, I added coaching to my practice, and in 2021, became a certified Mindpower Coach™, integrating mind, body, and spirit.
Then, in 2022, I fulfilled a lifelong dream and became a certified Equine Gestaltist™, partnering with horses in powerful, experiential healing work. Horses do not respond to who we pretend to be. They respond to what is true. And that truth changes everything.
Today, I work with women who have been strong for everyone else. Women who are accomplished, capable, and exhausted. Women who feel stuck in old patterns, old relationships, old identities, and know something deeper is calling them forward.
Through bodywork, Mindpower coaching™, and Equine Gestalt™ experiences, I guide women back into alignment with themselves. Every chapter of my life, the challenges, the lessons, and the triumphs, have prepared me for this work.
Not to rescue.
To stand beside them while they remember who they have always been.
If something in my story feels familiar, you’re not here by accident.
There may be something in you ready to shift and I would be honored to walk beside you.
Our Healing Herd
Avalon is an exceptional equine, having served as both a trail horse and a therapy horse for his first human. He’s a gentle giant standing 16 hands, offering comfort and support with unwavering affection often expressed with his tongue and gentle nudging. He’s the kind of horse who shows up to work when the client is ready, intuitively sensing their pain and emotions.
He is waiting for you, are you ready?
Avalon's Story
He became a part of my world when his caregiver of 19 years passed away, and her best friend began searching for his new forever home. In my quest for an equine partner, I sought a unique sign, one that would unmistakably confirm our connection—a gentle, affectionate LICK upon our first meeting. Such affection is not common from horses, especially when meeting strangers.
On the day I went to meet Avalon, my intention was to observe, with a firm commitment to saying NO to offering him a home. As I greeted everyone and learned about Avalon’s circumstances, I found myself holding his lead rope. Avalon took less than ten seconds to lick my hand, and he continued to do so throughout the entire day. On the outside, I was still holding onto my initial intention of not giving him a home. Yet, deep down, I knew I had found my equine partner. He had won my heart with his very first LICK!
He has a remarkable ability to connect with people, operating on an “I’ll touch you and do the work; you just stand there” principle, making clients feel truly special and valued. His presence is a catalyst for emotional release, helping clients let go of negative energy and find solace in his comfort.
Avalon’s journey has been one marked by resilience and adaptability. He has endured his fair share of challenges, including the profound grief of losing the human that raised him and then the instability of being moved between different boarding places.
While learning to coexist within a herd, a new experience for him that often led to confrontations with him being on the losing side, and suffering a facial injury resulting in a fractured bone, a painful experience.
His spirit and resolve were tested, and despite these trials, he has emerged from them all with a heart of gold and an unwavering desire to work with clients, offering them his unique form of healing and support.
