-therapist and person of horses:  Mali, Miraaj and Sunny

After 30 years lost with the wanderings of mySelf as "the Enjoli Woman" (you may not remember the woman who could earn the bacon, fry it up in the pan and please everyone), I am now a counselor. I had to do my own therapy to discover mySelf and my past has confirmed my certainty with conscious and mindful living there is a place for Self everywhere in the busy-ness of life!  Now I am committed to assisting all who desire a balanced, rich and fulfilling life through healing, growth and love in achieving the same sense of Self. 

Curiosity of the human psyche and the Mother Earth connection, spirit and soul work and a contemplative lifestyle has allowed me to blend my personal love of movement, all sentient beings and the outdoors into a rewarding counseling and psychotherapy practice.  My psychotherapy practice gifts me with people who prefer to work in traditional office settings to those curious about how horses help people in various clinical and nature settings. All who participate with the horses agree that there are incredible benefits in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy.  As the person of Mali, Miraaj and Sunny, I attest to power of their instincts - it's like magic!

With a 35 year practice of meditation behind me and as a student in the Buddhist traditions of Shamatha and Vipassana Insight meditation, I now teach Mindfulness Meditation as A Way to Be Here Now in the communities surrounding my home in Franktown, CO.  I am a Reiki Master in the Usui tradition and offer Reiki energy healings for horses and humans. Volunteer work at the Douglas County Women's Crisis and Family Outreach Center is a way in which I am able to give back to the community.
