I am a person of many facets; Wild Woman, Playful Child, Dog Breeder and Behaviorist, Herbalist, Writer, Biker, Teacher, and Seeker. All of these things make me unique. My past is varied, and I have done everything from cleaning stalls to shiftwork at a major manufacturing company to being rebirthed as a wild thing in the Appalachian Mountains. Breeding and showing Akita dogs and working as a Canine Owner Counselor taught me a deep understanding of the language of our pets. This led me to my first attempts to use herbs for my dogs. Becoming a Reiki Master Teacher deepened that connection to Spirit and further improved my understanding of the needs, both physical and spiritual, of animals and people. I am a chosen one, a facilitator of healing journeys. If you feel a connection reading these humble words, I invite you to join me for classes, consults, or just a pleasant conversation over a beer.
