I’ve been a social worker in the field for 10+ years with experience in mental health, early intervention programs & geriatrics. I have a Bachelors in Psychology. My passion for horses goes back to when I was a child & stayed with me into adulthood where I acted on the passion & began volunteering, learning, teaching, managing & experiencing the truly powerful effect of nature, especially horses with humans.
In 2015 this endeavor took shape from lessons to a therapeutic approach incorporating a partnership with an occupational therapist & training through PATH Int. From there the mission has been to partner with the community to assist people of all ages & abilities to experience horses.
