I have lived my entire life making conscious decisions to help others. After a huge loss of a friend, I decided to occupy my mind by volunteering at a local high intake animal shelter. I began with basic handling and fosters followed by behavior modification. I have worked with hundreds of dogs of all breeds and varying personalities. Eight years later, I still spend every Sunday at my home away from home. Personally, 5 rescues have made their way into my home. Two sweetheart bunnies, a tabby cat (who thinks he is a dog) and two very large American Bulldogs. Buddy is my soul dog and purely angelic. Shortly after, came Guy, who required rehabbing and now trusts his family.

A few years in, my shelter commitments were taking a toll on my sensitive soul. I needed to learn how to field this energy. I took several small courses in energy work and found balance. In 2019 I invested in my compassion for animals by getting formally trained in Animal Communication. This development propelled my intuitive skills. Instead of guessing I could now hear their voice. In 2020 when the world stopped, I did not. I practiced reading many pets. Happy, sick, behavioral issues and even senior pets transitioning all came through loud and clear. Owners were blown away with the information I knew. Multiple pet owners would approach me for behavior advice and report back that what I had suggested was the perfect solution. I have always had a passion for lost and running strays. I found I could work smarter and not have to physically run to the area.  I could tune in from a distance. Whether in my own city or in Colorado the energy flowed the same.

Additionally, I embraced my affinity for crystals which had been present since I was a teenager. The intuitive in me was 100% certain they had a purpose. My scientist brain wanted to understand the physics of them and how their energy interacted with our energetic field. I wanted more. I earned my Advanced Crystal Healing for Animals Certification in 2021. My most recent certifications are in Usui/Holy Fire® III Reiki I & II (2022) and Animal Reiki I & II (2023). Reiki has opened me to sensing and feeling the energy at a more tangible level.

I have always been an empath and have had unexplainable intuitive events happen since a young age. More specifically at age 13, a vivid yet accurate real time dream started my curiosity into the intuitive and life energy realm. I have always geared towards a holistic approach with myself health wise, and decided to become a licensed massage therapist in 2003. Although I never followed that path as a full time career, I have always known I have a natural ability for healing with my hands and kept up on my skills regularly. 

In 2013, a traumatic accident took place with my dog Chopper and a long road to healing was a result. I was following our vet’s instructions to a “T” but Chopper was my best friend, my soul mate and I couldn’t bear seeing him hurt. I without thinking turned to energy work (untrained at that time) and used energy healing to aid in his recovery. I did not know how but I sure did have the intention behind the healing and the results were quite remarkable. Wounds that should have taken weeks or months by our veterinarian’s own remarks were healing in just a few short days. Reflecting on that unfortunate time, I knew I was an integral part of Chopper’s recovery. There was no better feeling in the world to know I was giving back to his unconditional love. I am very grateful to God that I was able to have him heal fully and share our lives together for 5 additional years. 

I have always had a natural excitement for all things energy, and my interest in nature and the Earth's crystals are something I love. My “crystal room” is where I harness all the beautiful energy of crystals and meditate. I utilize crystals regularly to amplify any intentions I’m currently working on. 

In 2022, I returned to my healing hands calling and received certification in Usui/Holy Fire III ® Reiki I & II. Shortly thereafter I became certified in Animal Reiki I & II in 2023. These newly learned skills amplified my natural ability to heal with energy hands-on or remotely. Learning the remote work fit beautifully in the Compass Life’s toolbox as we can help animals and their caregivers balance their energy from any distance.
