Carrie and her family share their home with dogs, cats, horses, and other pets. Carrie was drawn to animals and healing at a very young age. A family friend shared her knowledge of Reiki, Touch For Health and nutrition. A variety of pets, from dogs and cats to fish, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, even a tarantula have given Carrie broad experience with animal care. As a teenager, Carrie handled Siberian Huskies in conformation and junior showmanship classes. Carrie started riding during elementary school, learning hunt seat and training level dressage at Connecticut's New Canaan Mounted Troop and Ox Ridge Hunt Club. Carrie drifted away from her natural health roots and embraced the more conventional western medicine approaches to animal (and human) health. The premature loss of her horse and dog during college nudged her back toward non-traditional approaches to health. When her current horse developed navicular disease, ringbone and arthritis at the age of 12, and he was put out to pasture, desperation turned her to homeopathy and nutrition. That same horse gave her a wonderful case of whiplash, which led to a chiropractor that practiced bio energy work, and presto, a new career was born!
