Embodying Truth

My journey with horses began at age five in rural Wisconsin, where I first experienced their quiet wisdom and steady presence. Over the years, horses have been my greatest teachers, offering freedom, grounded presence, and a deep sense of connection.

After a global career in education, a move to Portugal in 2016 left me feeling untethered. I turned to horses once again, and this time they showed me a new path: one that wove together my lifelong bond with them and my experience guiding others.

Through The Reflective Horse® Mastery program, I deepened my embodied awareness and embraced a way of living and working in alignment with my truth and passion.

Today, I continue to grow alongside my two children and the remarkable horses I care for, each one a dynamic and unique partner in healing, insight, and transformation.

I have always been someone who questions. From an early age, I was drawn to the deeper inquiries that invite us to look more honestly at ourselves and the world around us.

This way of seeing hasn't always been easy. Once you recognise a certain truth, you can't unsee it. Over time, I came to understand the profound difference between knowing something intellectually and embodying it in how we live, relate, and lead. Bridging that gap requires patience, practice, and a willingness to slow down.

My path has moved through corporate environments and entrepreneurial explorations, eventually calling me to reorient my life from the inside out. Along the way, I discovered that what gives me the deepest sense of purpose is holding spaces where people and groups can see more clearly, often beyond what they can access on their own.

This is why I created Contemplation Circles: to hold spaces where people can step out of urgency, reconnect with themselves, and remember what already lives within them.
