Unlocking Potential from the Inside Out
I believe that everyone - whether on 2 legs or 4 - deserves a protocol as unique as their DNA. Through a special muscle response technique, the hair is analyzed to unlock the bio-individual needs of every client. As a certified practitioner in both Applied Nutritional Analysis and Nutritional Therapy, I have spent years as a clinical nutritionist for humans, and continued my work with both horses and dogs. I believe true wellness isn’t found in a “one size fits all” bag of feed, diet, or a general support supplement, but rather through a protocol tailored to suit the needs of the specific individual. My approach uses whole food supplements, lifestyle strategies, and herbal blends that support the body’s natural rhythms. This approach empowers horses and dogs (and the people who lead them) to begin the healing process, potentially resolving chronic issues and reaching optimal function.
Where it all started - my daughter wanted to learn to ride, and as it turned out, I did too!
The defining events - in December 2005 I lost my first horse to colic, I was a new horse owner with limited experience and having only had him 20 months, I was devastated. I made a promise that I would learn everything I could, and I would not lose one again!
By 2006 I owned 3 horses, different breeds, ages, personalities, and genders. As I was feeding all 3 out of the same bag of feed, I questioned….WHY AM I FEEDING THEM FROM THE SAME BAG? Logic dictated that they would have different needs based on age, gender, breed, history etc. But, how do I determine what they need, and if they are getting all they need? With all of the options available it was quite an undertaking to say the least! I became obsessed with finding a way to narrow down the options and do what is best for my horses…And I did! Learning how to analyze the hair was a game changer! Through the help of some amazing mentors, I was able to start helping other horse owners answer some of the same questions.
Experience
My equine experience covers everything from managing a large-scale training and boarding facility, to gentling mustangs, competing in trail, mounted shooting, archery, which adds a broad scope of the physical and mental demands of competition. In 2017 after countless requests, I added in the human component, afterall they needed help too! Earning Practitioner certifications in both Applied Nutritional Analysis and Nutritional Therapy, countless hours of CE classes, tons of hands on experience round out the time and dedication I have poured into offering calculated top notch care and compassion.
