Episode Synopsis:

• An amazing woman who is SO involved in the breast cancer community, we first met at Day of Caring an event that had women going through breast cancer or were survivors modeling for a charity event
• She is a two time cancer survivor who initially went through a bi-lateral mastectomy and chose not to have chemo or radiation because she was trying to get pregnant. She was diagnosed with breast cancer after going in for her first mammogram!
• She started sitting with other women who were going through Chemotherapy so they didn’t have to be there on their own, especially being so scared and having so many questions
• After volunteering for the Sue Miller/Day of Caring event for many years and then it was absorbed into Cancer League of Colorado she needed another outlet to volunteer her time.
• She started volunteering with Hope Held By a Horse helping them with their bookkeeping and then started adopting horse after horse and is up to FIVE!
• Went through training to become an Equine Gestalt coach, which is a type of coaching that helps clients bring to their awareness emotional blockages and unfinished business that may be holding them back in their lives. The personal work the Equine Gestalt Coaches guide their clients through is “in the moment”, deeply tied to somatics (body responses) and experiential in nature.
• She met with the creator of the organization, in 2019, who at the time was thinking she would have to close down since it had grown to be so big in Colorado!
• Hope Held By a Horse is an amazing experience for women who are going through breast cancer and all the emotion and trauma and pain. You are able to focus on yourself and what you are going through and spend the day with the amazingly intuitive animals that can empathize and help you deal with these emotions.
