Healing is my calling to which I have dedicated my life.

I have had dogs, cats, ponies, and horses my whole life. As a child, I can remember holding sick animals in my lap to soothe them with my hands, treating wounds with minimal supplies, and comforting homeless dogs. I was drawn to herbs and natural remedies and spent hours alone in the forest, even as a young girl.

And there was always this knowing inside of me that all ailments – whether animals or people – had an underlying cause and that dis-ease was not a random event.

But, as many healers often do, I suppressed my natural abilities as an empath and resisted feeling people and animals on a deeper level because I was so over-sensitive to their energies, and my own for that matter.

Being young and raised in an environment that could not nurture healers I didn’t know how to handle the information I was receiving and all of the emotions attached to it. So I simply shut it down and put my energies in unhealthier places. Not surprisingly, this caused me some difficult and tumultuous times.

But over the years those struggles became opportunities, as life challenges often do, to learn more about myself and others.

I discovered how to re-connect to myself and strengthen my connection to the inner spirit.

And, in time, I learned that my real mission in life, my only mission in life, was to help make the world a kinder, more compassionate, and happier place for all sentient beings.
