How I got into equine bodywork

After more than 20 years in private practice working with humans I decided to take a giant leap of faith and pursued training to work with horses. This wild dream was ignited several years ago while working with a client who competed as a hunter-jumper. One day she invited me to out her barn, and while there I had an interaction with her Gypsy Vanner named Clover that can only be described as magical. Clover sparked a curiosity and sense of belonging in me that I had never experienced with any animal before. I knew after that moment that horses truly are spiritual beings, willing and capable of guiding us. Observing my client among her beautiful horses I became acutely aware of this entanglement riders have with their horses. This completely fascinated me and the thought of working with horses and riders never left.

My personal life

I grew up in a small town outside of Seattle WA. My childhood was spent exploring the forests and mountains of the PNW. When I was young I did most of this with my amazing adventurous father. I credit him for instilling not only a love for nature but also a commitment to advocate for all beings. I currently live in Denver with my husband, two teenage children, my two cats Tova and Little Baby, and my sweet little dog Zelda. When not hanging out with horses I enjoy hiking and snowboarding. Someday I hope to be a guardian of a horse myself, until then I am enjoying every single moment I get to spend with the horses I work with.
