I’ve worked with thousands of horses, and see them as my best teachers. With over twenty years of experience as a facilitator, educator and speaker, I help translate the wisdom of horses into our human lives so that we can feel more empowered, whole and free.
Every part of my work is grounded in a nervous-system-informed approach and shaped by my own post-traumatic growth. I have a deep belief that healing, at individual and systemic levels, is part of the activism our world needs.

I seek to empower clients through safety and connection.
I am a trans, non-binary, neuro-divergent human, with 9+ years in recovery from addiction.
My lived experience informs my ability to show up with clients in a wholistic, human first kind of way.

I'm a compassionate, curious and creative human who believes that vulnerability is a strength; who understands that our stories are the most powerful agent of change we possess.
By amplifying the voices of those around us we can enact change and growth in the world where we exist.

Passionate about food, from seed to fork. It’s a pleasure to nourish our workshop participants, and share meals together.
The horses also continue to teach me every day. I’m grateful to be one of their caretakers.
