My background is in the horse racing industry where I was a Racehorse Trainer for many years. I was lucky enough to travel with this job to England, Ireland, and New Zealand to experience their racing cultures. While in this job I witnessed the comfort horses gave people working in the stables.
I noticed the growing stress people are under and wanted to put the two together to support others.
I enjoy cycling and attempting to surf when I get the time.

Originally from Glasgow, Scotland. I made my way over to Australia to explore as 23 year old and ended up staying in this beautiful country.
My journey as a therapist started while I was working as a track rider in the horse racing industry and volunteering with our therapy dog Dude at our local hospital. It was an amazing experience to witness the difference Dude could make in patient's and staff's mood for the day or even the week.
In my spare time I enjoy trail running, now proudly up to half marathons. maybe one day I will manage a full!

The Farm
The Farm
We would like to acknowledge the Bunurong people who are the Traditional Custodians of this land. We would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present of the Kulin Nation.
Sessions are offered in a range of locations on our little eight acre farm in Moorooduc. On this beautiful property we have two dams, two orchards, paddocks, stables and indoor area.
The farm is surrounded by nature and wildlife. There are some resident wild ducks, frogs and native birds.
