Horses have shaped every chapter of my life.

What began as a childhood connection evolved into a lifelong commitment to understanding how horses move, regulate, perform, and partner with us.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Equestrian Studies from the University of Findlay, where I built a foundation in biomechanics, training theory, nutrition, and comprehensive horse care. My early path was performance-driven, with ambitions of riding professionally, until a significant injury redirected my focus.

That shift forced me to look deeper.

Years later, the unexpected loss of my heart horse, Stella, reshaped how I understood partnership. She was not just an athlete. She was a teacher. Her impact challenged me to explore how physical strain, emotional stress, and energetic holding intersect in the equine body.

I did not want to separate science from intuition.

I became a Certified Equine Massage Therapist and began integrating structural knowledge with intuitive assessment. Over time, I developed an approach that addresses fascial restriction, compensation patterns, nervous system regulation, and the subtler influences that impact movement and behavior.

This work is not about temporary softness.

It is about identifying root patterns and creating sustainable change.
