I know what it feels like to have a full life on paper and still sense that something essential is missing.

I grew up with horses. My dad, Mike, gave me my first one. He ran his own cattle buying business and taught me everything I know about hard work, dedication, and the quiet wisdom of animals. Those early years shaped me in ways I’m still discovering.

I went on to build a career centered on helping others. I worked at the University of Iowa Hospitals. I served as fitness director at th local gym for eight years. I became a certified health coach. I raised three children. From the outside, it looked like I had it figured out.

But I always knew something was calling me forward.

It was horses. It was always horses.

When I finally came back to them, I came not just as a rider, but as a student and everything shifted. I discovered that horses don’t care about the masks we wear or the stories we tell ourselves. They reflect back exactly who we are in the present moment. And in that reflection, healing begins.
I became a certified equine coach so I could bring that same transformative experience to other women. Especially women in midlife who are navigating transition, questioning their path, or quietly wondering if it’s too late to build the life they actually want.

It isn’t. I promise you, it isn’t.

As a certified health coach, I bring the whole picture: nutrition, movement, stress management, sleep, and mindset into every coaching relationship. Because true transformation isn’t just emotional. It lives in your body too. When we combine that personalized health work with the wisdom of horses, something remarkable happens. The breakthroughs go deeper. The changes actually stick.

The horses I work with aren’t mine. But in many ways, that’s the point. They show up fully present, with no history between us, no expectations. Just truth. And that’s exactly the space I create for you.
