ABOUT ME

Some History

 My Vedic astrology, Emily Glasser, told me that in August 2026 I would become integrated of all of my offerings as a healer, spiritualist, animal lover, writer and astrologer and, most importantly, a true friend. 

For the last 7 years I've been training dogs in Santa Fe, New Mexico and I've had the great opportunity to be mentored by the likes of Matt Beisner and David Crosby, people who taught me and reinforced that dogs are not really to be trained as they are sentient beings to be engaged with, seen, regarded, advocated for, protected, and loved. 

I'm the organizer of the Santa Fe Astrology Meet-up group and we meet at Tribe's Cafe frequently.

 In 2004 at a little metaphysical shop in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the reader told me that I would be working with dogs when I got older. I didn't doubt her. 

In 2011 I moved back to New Mexico. I spent a year with some Sikh friends in Albuquerque, and when a young couple came to stay with me for a few days with their two French Bulldogs, I got an odd reading when I touched the dogs. I looked at the young man, and I said, "Your divorce is not going to happen and your marriage will be blessed." He looked at me, stunned, and I returned the same expression. I said, "I touched your dog and he told me." 

In 2012 I took Josh Shrei's yoga teacher training course at Body of Santa Fe and taught yoga there for a while. I also ran writing groups and astrology meetup groups there. 

I began attracting dogs into my life and in 2017 I began apprenticing with David Crosby (for 3 years!) to learn how to train dogs in all aspects, from basic obedience to search & rescue to scent detection to agility. I learned about nutrition, and first aid and herbs for dogs. I have been training dogs since then but am scaling back on hands-on training and focusing more on workshops in 2025.




A work in progress, more soon!
