Her work emphasizes presence, trust, communication, and creating safe spaces where both horses and humans feel supported. In addition to her equine practice, she is also an experienced entrepreneur and professional bookkeeper, bringing decades of expertise in accounting, financial organization, and business operations through her company, Beyond Borders Bookkeeping, LLC.

What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to the long-term relationships and trust I’ve built with both horses and the people connected to them. Many clients who initially came to me for coaching or support became lifelong friends and connections because they felt safe, heard, and understood. Creating a safe space has always been deeply important to me. Horses were a safe space for me growing up, and now my work is about offering that same sense of trust, healing, and understanding to both horses and humans.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
I believe one of the greatest opportunities in this field is increasing awareness and education around equine energy work and holistic wellness practices. There is growing interest in modalities such as Reiki, massage, chiropractic work, and conscious coaching, and people are beginning to better understand how these approaches support recovery, performance, and overall well-being for horses. At the same time, one of the biggest challenges is ensuring that this work remains grounded in integrity and education so that it is respected as a meaningful therapeutic practice rather than treated as entertainment.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values most important to me are trust, compassion, authenticity, and the well-being of the horse. I believe in creating safe spaces where both horses and people can express themselves honestly and heal naturally. I also value education, responsible practice, and maintaining a deep respect for the emotional and energetic connection between horses and humans.
