Equine and Canine Touch Therapies


As a child I always had a strong interest in helping sick or injured animals. I attended William Woods University, and then transferred to the University of Missouri to complete my pre-vet. I then spent the next 15+ years training and raising Appaloosa Sport Horses and ponies for dressage and eventing, running a boarding stable and raising and training harlequin Great Danes in obedience, and eventually also in agility, tracking, and conformation.
Working so closely with animals in these varied disciplines, I spent a lot of time working with veterinarians to heal sick and injured horses and dogs. After a tragic barn fire in 1997 I took a long hard look at what my goals and plans were and started to head down the path I had originally started to walk. This time I chose not to follow the conventional path, but the alternative path. I began to seek training in the areas of alternative therapies to assist the body in healing itself.
I feel the therapies I have chosen compliment each other and help to assist animals with behavior problems, and recovery from illness and injury.
I am available for consultation over the phone and through email. I am available at my location, or can travel to your barn, or home to give your animal the benefits of these hands on therapies. I would also be happy to present information to your local 4-H group, horse or dog club, or group of friends.

Contact me by phone or email for charges and services.
