President and Founder of Epona Ridge, a soul-based evolution over the last 18 years. In retrospect, my entire life has been inspired by spirit since I was very young; I just needed the time to discover that the business path most traveled was not the one to nourish my soul. After many years in the corporate world of leadership and performance development, I discovered that the measurement of REAL success was not what we thought; it was far more straightforward; it's the amount of JOY experienced every day. After a lot of soul searching, I began to train in the emerging field of experiential learning for personal development, but with a unique twist; the facilitators were horses, and I discovered the energy of connection to the non-verbal world that changed my life forever. The more I studied, the more I found familiar ground. Healthy relationships, the keys to inner balance, joy, and personal fulfillment, were not just my hopes; many felt the same calling. So I began to create boutique retreats for women who want to travel to a sacred space that inspires their soul. Over the last years I have discovered some of the most exciting advances and deep fulfillment through this work as I continue developing the psychology of energy, interconnectedness, and personal joy at home, in the office, and the arena. I became an Eponaquest Worldwide facilitator. Combined with 20 years in corporate training and motivation, I understood the missing link of energy dynamics and how individuals affect the connectivity of all beings in the office and at home. Traditional team and leadership training had missed vital interpersonal skills training that proved critical to personal balance and mutual respect for a healthy culture.
