Internationally Renowned Trauma Life Coach, Horse Whisperer & Spiritual Mentor

Experiencing significant hearing loss as a young child prompted me to search for new ways to understand the world. I was deeply curious about how animals communicate in a non-verbal language. I started a life-long exploration of how they uniquely navigate their world. In my youth after enduring years of sexual abuse and trauma, I responded by disconnecting from people. I longed for a sense of safety and found myself turning to animals to escape. The consistent communication I experienced with animals offered me a true place of belonging.

I took notice of the way animals modeled an entirely different way of being. They were clear, consistent, expressed healthy boundaries with one another, and most importantly they weren’t shy to be whole-heartedly themselves. I saw their innate resilience and uncanny ability to re-engage in the world around them, even after experiences of trauma. This fueled me with a renewed sense of hope. It became clear that animals hold an important road map for how to restore healthy relationships with ourselves and one another.

This led me on a journey of self-discovery where I recognized the myriad of ways I was trying to cope with the trauma that was eroding my life. Through my profound relationships with animals, I was able to rediscover and reconnect with an essential environment of safety and belonging. It was a deeply immersive journey. The insight I’ve learned directly from animals unexpectedly brought me full circle to foster a whole new level of connection to human beings. Now, I’ve dedicated my life to helping humanity create a better world by restoring trust in ourselves, in one another and in the vast intelligence of the natural world as a trauma life coach.
