HERE TO SUPPORT THE SUPPORTERS 🐾

We all know there’s a problem in animal care.

What if we can’t fix it, solve it, or change it, but we can still be okay along the way?

I used to think “What if” were the two scariest words in the English language. But that’s because I was only What if’ing the negative, dark, terrifying stuff.

There are just as many positive What if’s. Such as…

  • What if it goes well?

  • What if there’s a wonderful surprise?

  • What if it’s better than I imagined?

  • What if I can love myself through the tough times taking care of animals because I have the tools that show me how?

  • What if I am resilient and worthy and enough just as I am?

  • What if there is a great learning opportunity for me here in this?

  • What if I can give myself everything I need, without relying on others’ approval?

GROUP WORKSHOPS

Working in animal care can feel isolating. It’s important to take the time to connect with your animal loving fellows, learn from one another, and realize you’re not alone. You’ll walk away empowered.

Don’t just take my word for it!

"Our breathwork session was the re-set that my body and mind needed. The impact of the one session has already been significant; I feel different and better, both physically and mentally."

A Love note From Me, to you:

You matter. You count. Just like the animals do.

If our wellness lacks because of or in spite of our work with animals, we might set up a paradigm where the only way to be well is to… leave them. But then who would be left to help the animals? We must foster our own wellness and theirs, or our wellness for theirs.
