Over time, as my connection with these amazing creatures grew, I deepened my service to them, becoming a certified dog massage therapist and acupressurist.
I also discovered I had what I call an energetic gift: an inherent connection, even communication, with dogs that most times surpasses what I have with my own species. This led me to become certified in the energy healing work of Let Animals Lead Reiki, developed specifially for animals, a hands-off energy healing method rooted in meditation. I can trace my reiki lineage all the way back to Mikao Usui, the first Reikimaster. Through this practice, I can share healing energy with animals everywhere, no matter the location.
Realizing this was my mission brought everything into focus. It clarified why I left behind a world of success and financial security without hesitation—because my soul had a different purpose to fulfill.
Fast-forward 25 years, and my life has been nothing short of magical. I’ve snowboarded many hundreds of days, but more importantly, I’ve rescued and helped dozens of dogs, from young pups to senior sweethearts.
My passion has evolved to include helping dogs overcome trauma, heal from abuse, and thrive.
After my Sugar girl got a cancerous mast cell tumor, I decided I needed to educate pawrents about the power of nutrition and how a dog's immune system mirrors our own.
Real food and supplements gave Sugar her life back. She continued to flourish and turn into a younger and healthier version of herself. My beloved girl went on to live another 8 amazing years and cross Rainbow Bridge at 16.5 years old.
Think about it: What do you think would happen if you ate the same ultraprocessed cereal for every meal, every day of your life?
Even cereal has nutrients, but commercial dog food loses much of its nutritional value due in extreme processing and preservatives, not to mention the true sub par ingredients that make up commercial and prescription dog food such as roadkill, euthanized animals, rotten flesh, other body parts and floor scraps from meat packing plants...don't believe me? Look it up. The 4 D's of meat allowed in pet foods... dead, dying, diseased and decaying. It's absolutely horrifying...and legal. Not all companies use all these sources of meat but animal food isn't bound by the same regulations as human food. When something says "meal" after it...well, we will go into that in the course. You will be scarred for life at commercial pet food and want to do better for your furry family member.
One of my senior rescues was given just 6–12 months to live at the time of adoption with stage 3 kidney disease.
She nearly passed at the 12-month mark, and her bloodwork showed organs shutting down and vets officially placed her on hospice, giving her a week to live.
But I refused to give up. I dove into research day and night, uncovering incredible ways to support her health naturally. It worked.
The results were miraculous. She not only survived but thrived for 14 more months—celebrating two more birthdays. 441 more days.
Her vets couldn’t believe it, yet they never asked what I was doing.
This experience ignited a new mission: helping other pawrents gain precious time with their beloved companions without relying on costly vet visits or pharmaceuticals.
If you're here, it's because your pup has been given a diagnosis and you’re freaking out. But let me assure you— I will show you many things that can provide immediate, tangible benefits for your dog.
If I can do this, so can you.
And I'm here for you.
Please reach out if you need anything.
I want to leave you with this:
I know you're terrified.
I do.
But if you do a few things, your dog can most likely extend their lives.
And that's all that matters...more time.
Never lose sight of that.
Stay positive for your dog.
If you need to cry, let it out when they’re not around.
When you’re with them, focus on hope and love.
Tell them you’re not giving up.
Shower them with all the affection they deserve for as long as you can.
Take those selfies with them.
Videos...lots of videos.
Never miss an opportunity to gaze into each other's eyes and tell them how much you love them.
And it's really important to envision them as healthy and with you for a long time.
They can feel that.
All my love to you and your pup on this journey to more time.
