What started out as a child's love for pony rides blossomed into a deep commitment to learn more about horses' unique ability to heal merely with their presence and intuitive nature. When my parents sent me to farm camp at the age of sixwhere I milked goats, weeded watermelon patches, and foaled horsesit only intensified my curiosity. it was this experience that ultimately gave me the vision of creating a place where horses could help in the healing process of others.

As a relatively recent cancer survivor, I have a deeper appreciation for life's fragilities. in 2015 I formed Berkshire HorseWorks, inc., a Massachusetts based 501(C)(3) nonprofit corporation which offers EAGALA Model Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) and Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) to those suffering from mental health and behavioral challenges. EAGALA is the leading association offering a fully-developed, professionally endorsed treatment model for mental health professionals practicing equine-assisted psychotherapy. The EAGALA Model stands alone in the world of equine-assisted psychotherapy and personal development because of the model's standards, code of ethics, continuing education requirements, replicable framework, and team approach. Under the EAGALA Model, both a registered, credentialed Mental Health Professional and a certified Equine Specialist work together collaboratively at all times to assure clients get the therapeutic attention and support they need as they make life changes. For those who are interested in working with the military, whether active duty, veterans or families, EAGALA has devised an EAGALA Military Services Distinction which mandates additional education, experience, and certification.
