“I was not in a healthy state when I began virtual wellness sessions with Colleen. As soon as we met, I knew we would work well together. She is kind and so knowledgable. My life has improved so much!

Meet Spirit
Spirit was our founding partner and namesake. He was a sweet, funny and loving American Paint Horse. Spirit loved playing with the other horses in the field, going on trail rides and carrots! He was a wonderful all-around horse who inspired all who worked with him.
