I've always felt a deep, natural connection with animals, they bring such peace into my life. Their unconditional love continues to amaze and inspire me. I grew up surrounded by dogs, but my bond with horses began after I moved to Green Bay, Wisconsin. For over 20 years now, horses have been a central part of my life. I’ve cherished every stage of their life—from youth to senior years. My first horse Marty joined me at 7 and remained with me until his passing at 27. Currently, I have a 7-year-old Oldenburg, Indigo who I’ve had since he was three.
Animals—especially horses—are my true passion. For many years, I worked to support my love for them, but in December 2023, I took a leap of faith and aligned my career with my heart. I became a certified MagnaWave PEMF practitioner and launched my business, Prehab360, LLC. Soon after, I enrolled in a 500-hour Equine Bodywork program at the School of Applied Integrative Therapy, which I completed in June 2024. I continued studying to achieve my NBCAAM certification, which I earned in September 2024.
Since then, my goal has been simple: to become the most effective and knowledgeable equine bodyworker I can be. That commitment has led me down a path of continuous education. Each course I take seems to open a new door. For example, after attending a Tallgrass Acupressure workshop in Buckeye, AZ, promoted by NBCAAM, I discovered 906 Wellness-Equine, the host facility. I loved the environment so much, I returned just weeks later for classes in Craniosacral Therapy and Myofascial Release.
In March 2025, I enrolled in a 285-hour program through the Academy of Animal Sport Science. I recently completed Module 3 in Penngrove, California—an incredible experience that connected me with like-minded professionals from around the globe: Hong Kong, Israel, the Czech Republic, Canada, Portugal, Australia, and, of course, me from Wisconsin! My next step is to complete an internship at a rehabilitation facility, and I'm hoping that will take me to Ocala, Florida.
Just this month, I returned from Vashon, Washington, where I completed the 81-hour Equinology EQ900 course. We built horse muscles using clay—literally sculpting anatomy—and then applied that knowledge by drawing muscles directly onto live horses in the afternoons. Once I finish my externship with the Academy, I’ll begin the intensive Equinology externship as well.
Since starting Prehab360, my business has grown steadily. If I have one regret, it’s that I didn’t make this career change sooner. I also had the amazing opportunity to work during Florida's winter show season in Wellington and Ocala—an unforgettable experience.
Each class reignites my passion. I come home inspired and excited to share new tools and techniques with my clients. Working with horses never gets old—each one is a unique soul with something to teach. When I’m not working, you’ll find me riding or taking dressage lessons to improve my own abilities in the saddle, and going on fun adventures with my two dogs, Ollie & Sasha, and Arron, my husband of 14 years.
