Her goal is to expand her offerings by using this method with individual consultations.

She lives with her husband Ron, their dog Sofie, the not-so-mini dachshund, and their grand-dog Lucy, the big friendly yellow lab. She listens to the loons on the river and the owls in the trees, watches the hawks and eagles circle over the Passagasawakeag River, breathes the brackish air and takes
time to be thankful every day.
