I’ve been an avid horse girl since I could read, and started riding horses when I turned 11. Although I started in the hunter/jumper world, I took a dressage lesson when I was 25 and never looked back. Now, I mainly focus on dressage and trail riding, with a few endurance races under my belt.

I ran track in college (specifically: threw javelin) and have always been interested in enhancing an athlete’s physical performance. This led me to work closely with personal trainers and go for my 200H Yoga Teacher Trainer certification, which opened my eyes to the importance of the mind-body connection in an athlete. My Animal Reiki and Equine Massage business allows me to combine my love of horses and passion for athletic performance improvement, by focusing on the mind-body connection of both the equine and human athlete.

I live on my husband’s family farm, where I help manage our barn of six horses (three of whom are mine!) in addition to working full time in corporate finance. In my spare time, I enjoy going on adventures with my husband and dog - and of course, riding!
