 My Story: More Than Just Training

For the last seven years here in Santa Fe, I’ve been helping owners and their dogs find harmony. But my journey to understanding dogs began long before that, in a way I never expected.

My work is deeply influenced by my incredible mentors, including Matt Beisner, who taught me a profound truth: dogs are not creatures to be commanded, but sentient beings to be seen, understood, and loved. This philosophy is the bedrock of everything I do. We don't just "train" your dog; we engage with them, advocate for them, and strengthen the bond between you.

But my approach goes even deeper. With a background of over 40 years as an intuitive, astrologer, and healer, I've dedicated my life to understanding the unseen patterns and energies that shape our lives. I soon realized this wasn't just true for people—it was the key to understanding our dogs, too.

The moment it all clicked was in 2011. I was with a young couple and their two French Bulldogs when I felt an overwhelming message from one of their dogs. I looked at the husband and said, "Your marriage will be blessed." He was stunned—and so was I. The dog had "told" me. It was then I knew my intuitive gifts were meant to give a voice to the animals we love.

This is the unique combination of skills I bring to you and your dog: the practical, proven techniques of a seasoned trainer, blended with the deep perception of an intuitive healer. I see the whole picture—the behavior, the environment, and the energy—to create a training plan that is not only effective, but also joyful, fun, and transformative for everyone.
