My earliest and fondest childhood memories center on my relationship with animals, particularly horses. In 2004, I transitioned from a corporate career into a profession that would enable me to re-connect more closely with these powerfully sentient and wise beings. Establishing Michigan Equine Therapy enabled me to work daily with the animals I love, providing therapeutic massage and energy healing techniques to improve the quality of horses' lives. Complementary care; such as bodywork and Reiki, offers tremendous opportunity for healing and growth for animals just as it does for humans. My experiences working with horses proved to me that we have much to learn from the animals. This led me into the field of Equine Facilitated Experiential Learning. Helping humans improve their lives through an authentic connection with the horses has become my life's work. I now work as a practitioner, teacher and facilitator. I am a passionate advocate for the healing power of the horse, and the possibilities this represents for all of us on an individual, societal and species level. I am thrilled to be working with and for the animals, and teaching others how to do the same. Medicine Pony is an organization dedicated to improving the quality of life on the planet by helping people become more authentic versions of themselves. We believe re-connecting with nature and our fellow species is the first step in fully understanding our true nature and regaining clarity around our identity and purpose. This personal awareness creates clarity that allows us to live more fully being present and making mindful decisions that are fully congruent with our hearts desire and our soul's purpose. Our connection to nature and animals allows us to rediscover our self-awareness and intuition. We gain clarity. Energy work and mediation enable us to enhance our connection to life force energy or Spirit so that we can mindfully heal and grow personally and share that experience with the world around us. By combining the best traditions of mind-body-spirit practice, this work provides an incredibly powerful platform for personal healing, growth and transformation. I offer a number of classes and workshops that delve into awakening to our true selves through connection with Nature and the animal kingdom and improving the quality of our lives through natural self-care practices that address mind-body-spirit in a natural and holistic manner.
