Profile

I am a graduate in preschool and elementary education, and recently in animal-assisted therapy. I am a mother of two beautiful children, Riley (13 years old) and Emma (10 years old). I am driven by a profound mission: to help children and their mothers access well-being through the benefits of animal-assisted therapy.

Teaching is my first passion, and I have gained experience as an educator with a deep desire to help young people learn and grow. Furthermore, my recent training in animal-assisted therapy has opened a new dimension in my life. I have been fascinated by how animals can bring comfort, joy, and healing to people of all ages. Animal-assisted therapy offers a holistic approach to improving mental and emotional health, boosting self-confidence, and promoting overall well-being. I felt the need to change my perspective and start my own practice. So, I am in the early stages of becoming an independent practitioner.

My goal is to combine my teaching skills with animal-assisted therapy to create a unique and nurturing well-being environment. I have observed that the presence of animals calms children, helps them connect with their own nature, and sparks their curiosity. The benefits of this approach extend beyond the classroom walls, as it also promotes healthier relationships between mothers and their children.

I am confident that my background and passion will allow me to make a meaningful contribution to the well-being of children and their mothers. I am determined to provide educational and therapeutic experiences that will help them thrive and lead more fulfilling lives.
