About Me

I received a Bachelor Of Science in Animal Science from Oregon State University and became a Veterinary Technician in Oregon. For 14 fulfilling years I supported people through the life/death of their beloved pets and raised many orphaned kittens. Eventually I decided to return to Canada to be closer to my family, watch my nieces grow up and to spend time with my dad who was unwell. I landed what I thought was my dream job at a Holistic Veterinary Practice where they offered acupuncture, chiropractic, herbs and other different modalities. I loved working at this clinic, however it was not meant to be, it closed in an unfortunate series of events that was devastating to all involved. I was lost after it closed, my dream was gone! I had no idea what direction I should go and began searching for a new career, a new passion?

I enrolled into a Holistic Nutrition Program which was interesting but did not fill my soul with passion. While in school, I was hired at a local grocery store as a cashier, my dad became increasingly ill and I began doing the majority of caregiving for him as it was extremely hard for my mother. It was the hardest thing I have ever done, my dad died 10 months later, much earlier than we had all expected, it was a shock! My life was changed forever. That same year I also lost my grandfather and one of my best friends, my life was numb, how could I possibly continue?

I had experienced so much human/animal loss over the last 5 years that I started to feel shut down. I had no idea how to deal with it as others would say things like “it will get easier” or “they had a long life”, to say I hated these comments would be an understatement! My grief pain ebbs and flows constantly, it was only after finding the Touched by A Horse Program and learning about Gestalt that I truly understood what my purpose was in this life.

I am your guide on your journey to wholeness.

I am a very emotionally strong and passionate person and I feel deeply connected to the earth and people (even if I don’t know them) as I know that every person has value and deserves to be treated as such. Being able to partner with my horses while utilizing my gestalt coaching methods has been a goal of mine as everyone deserves to feel whole and happy, life is too short to be hanging on to parts of self that do not serve you.
