About me
I am a mum of 3 children, wife of a very patient husband and guardian of many animals. My smallest child had special needs and has brought a lot of challenges and wisdom into my life. I had to explore how I could help my son Danny to connect to our world and society. I wanted to learn what made him tick and what adjustments were needed from our side so he could develop in a safe environment with lots of understanding from me and my family. My birth country is Switzerland and I have done various education in Switzerland for my first 25 year of my life. I have lived in Australia since 1990 and furthered my education here while being married, having my 3 children and running our own business for over 30 years. I loved horses and animals all my life but I discovered their signifigance in healing along my journey in helping Danny to understand the world around him and himself. I have an associate diploma in wholisitic counselling and have worked with life line for 8 months. I am registered with the Australian Counselling Association. Bringing up 3 children in todays society with all the challenges of school, work, friends, social media, relationships has definitely shaped my life and knowledge. Having learnt about Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy and Animal Therapy during the childhood years of my son Danny and reading lots and lots of literature has made me an expert in life challenges. Stress, Anxiety, panic attacks, social phobias, relationship challenges, grief, loss and attachment issues are just some of my special areas I cover in helping my clients to heal in the presence of my unique equine friends. I enjoy working with teenagers, mums and dads as well as children. Horses can hear your heartbeat 1.2 meteres away from you. They tune in and understand/mirrior what is happening in yourself. Your authentic self is showing up in their presence. Horses live in the present time and will mirroir you what needs attention in your personal journey. I am here to facilitate your healing and emotional journey along side my horses, goats, cats or dogs. We will find which animal is best suited for your current stage of mind and your future goal. Being with a herd of horses, doing activities with horses, meditating with horses will all help you to find your authentic self and start your healing. My son Danny has grown into a wonderful adult, well socialised and integrated into society with job, car, friends and church. He loves life. I would like to help other mums to achieve these goals with their children. My passion is working with children with special needs but I am also passionate about working with mums. Horse attune strongly to children with special needs and mums. Every session with my various clients makes me appreciate these beautiful animals more and more and appreciate their wisdom and sharing.
