I began my career in San Francisco as a CPA with KPMG Peat Marwick. In 1990 with two young girls in tow I moved back to my hometown in the Napa Valley and founded St. Helena Olive Oil Co. After 25 years of growing the business, I suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury rendering me a stranger to myself.

Having little access to my executive functioning, I listened to the cues of my body leading me on a path of mind/body/spirit connection. Along the way I gathered teachings from healers of all medicines. My most profound healer continues to be Roxy, a Warmblood Mare, who I met while recovering in the Eastern Sierras of California. Our mutual struggle with dysregulated nervous systems created an immediate and powerful connection. With no specific intention other than to share insights from my healing journey with Roxy, we found ourselves delving into a profound exploration of the human-horse connection. Together, we learned to befriend and tend to our biology leading us to deeper healing and connection than others thought possible.

In gratitude, we created Congruence Tucson, a place to share our learnings and hold the space for other humans and horses awakening to the healing power of their true nature.
