ABOUT
MICHELLE
For as long as I can remember, I have loved animals. I can’t count the number of rescues brought home to my non-welcoming parents.
Holding AS and BS degrees in business and working in a corporate environment, I always felt something was missing. It wasn't until after some major life events that I finally followed my passion for animals to a healing profession. I really wanted to make a difference in people's everyday life. If I can make positive changes in the animals we own, in a natural way, this can directly impact our everyday interactions with our pets.
I became a certified therapeutic and sports massage therapist in equine and canine through the Rocky Mountain School of Acupressure and Massage in Elizabeth, CO. Recently, I became RockTape certified in both equestrienne riders and their horses.
I love working with my animal clients (& owners) and seeing the improvements using a natural therapy to promote their overall well-being.
