I've loved horses all my life and have always felt a deep connection to these magnificent animals. Growing up, I spent countless hours on my grandparents' farm, often with my grandpa’s farm horses. One of my earliest memories is crawling under the barbed wire at about 3 or 4 years old to sit among them. Even then, I sensed that horses were far more than just farm animals.
I’ve also always had a heart for helping others, often serving as the "counselor" for friends, family, and students. I hold a Bachelor's in Human Services Administration and a Master’s in Public Administration. Recently, I earned certification as an Equine Gestaltist under Melisa Pearce, founder of the Equine Gestalt Coaching Method. This certification has equipped me with proven tools and techniques to support individuals on their journey toward wholeness by addressing past trauma, anxiety, grief, and other emotional health challenges. It allows me to provide emotional support in a unique "arena" compared to many other equine-centered programs, using the power of partnership with my horses to help others heal.
