my story
Where the seen and unseen meet
Amanzi Health was born from a deep knowing — that healing happens at the intersection of the physical, emotional, and spiritual. That horses are not just animals, but ancient teachers. And that the body holds wisdom the mind has yet to understand.
The founder
A path shaped by horses, spirit, and the courage to listen
I didn't choose this work. It chose me. From my earliest years I was drawn to horses with an intensity I couldn't explain — a pull that felt less like preference and more like recognition. They saw something in me I hadn't yet seen in myself.
For as long as I can remember, I have walked this earth as a natural-born mystic and medium, guided by an unwavering connection to the Creator and the quiet whispers of my intuition. This sacred thread has been my compass through every season of life — including the unimaginable pain of losing my two eldest sons to murder, one year apart. It was this deep, soul-level knowing that held me when my world fell apart. Alongside this spiritual path, I also trained as a therapist, dedicating years to understanding trauma, grief, and the nervous system from both the heart and the mind. Bringing these two worlds together — the mystical and the clinical — took time, courage, and a profound trust in the intelligence that lives beyond the rational.
Amanzi Health is the result of that integration. It is a place where evidence-based therapeutic practice meets the wisdom of the unseen. Where horses serve as guides, mirrors, and healers. And where every person who arrives is met exactly as they are.
my philosophy
Healing is not linear. It is layered.
"Life changes every one of us. Sometimes through grief. Sometimes through heartbreak. Sometimes through illness ... Sometimes through dreams that never came true. I've learned that while we cannot always choose what happens to us ... We can choose how we rebuild. My life's work is helping people find themselves again after life changes everything."
At Amanzi Health, we work with the whole person. We draw on somatic therapy, energy awareness, and the ancient intelligence of horses to create experiences that move beyond the surface and into the places where real change lives.
The body knows
Trauma and emotion live in the body, not just the mind. We work somatically — with breath, sensation, and presence — to release what the nervous system has been holding.
Horses as healers
Horses are prey animals with exquisitely sensitive nervous systems. They respond to our authentic emotional state — not our words — making them incomparable guides for self-awareness and healing.
The unseen is real
We honour the spiritual dimension of healing. Whether you call it intuition, energy, or soul — there is an intelligence beyond the rational mind that is always available to us.
You are the expert
We don't fix people. We create conditions in which people can access their own innate wisdom and capacity for healing. You have always known the way.
Mystic & medium
The gift of seeing beyond the veil
Alongside my therapeutic training, I am a practising medium and mystic. This is not separate from the healing work — it is woven through it. The ability to perceive what is not immediately visible, to sense the emotional and energetic field of another person, and to receive guidance from beyond the ordinary — these gifts inform every session, every workshop, every encounter.
I do not impose this dimension on anyone. For those who are open to it, it can be a profound source of comfort, clarity, and direction. For those who prefer to work within a more conventional therapeutic frame, that is equally honoured. There is room here for all ways of knowing.
The horses
Our most important teachers
The horses of Amanzi Health are not props or tools. They are partners. Each one has their own personality, history, and way of showing up in the work. They are not trained to perform — they are simply allowed to be themselves, which is precisely what makes them so powerful. In their presence, pretence falls away. What remains is always true.
