The Birth of Wolf Heart Healing

I remember being 23, just had my son, my husband told me that I could quit my job to stay home and take care of him. I was working retail management for about six years prior, running a photography business with my mom, and also going to school and partially externing as vet assistant because I loved animals and wanted to help them. That was the way I knew how. I knew I wanted to be a healer in some way and that I had a big ass heart. I didn’t enjoy working at the vet clinics though because I felt the people working there ended up becoming jaded by their experience. I ended up being the one comforting all the animals and patients and talking with the animals after they had gone through tough procedures.

I had already been on a spiritual/self growth journey for a few years and had a few incredible awakening moments. I also went through some really dark periods and my husband and I just got back on our feet after a really rough couple years together. I remember eventually feeling really bored “just being a mom”. I needed to do something more to feel fulfilled but I didn’t know what it was. I didn’t know what my mission was. I knew I loved talking about spirituality, astrology, numerology, “conspiracies”, ET, personal development, and pretty much anything “out there”. I knew I loved helping people, and I knew I wanted to help animals in any way I could. I wasn’t sure exactly how to combine everything I love into a business and make a career out of it though. I didn’t want to go back to school for counseling or anything. I wanted to make use of the gifts I already knew I had. I journal a lot and I remember asking spirit to give me a way to help people and include animals in it, and I made sure to include that I wanted to not have to go to school for it.

It started with watercolor painting and hand-lettering. I would paint photos and positive quotes and post them on instagram. I would sell my paintings sometimes. But eventually I got that feeling of “working” again. I’ve always done everything based on how it makes me feel, and so I hopped jobs a lot and was always trying different things. I knew this wasn’t the thing I was meant to do.

One day I remember pulling out all my old tarot and oracle decks to look at the cards and pull some for myself. I used to do readings for friends and family over the years but somehow they ended up in storage during our move. I loved it so much, and it made me feel happy to give people advice through beautiful artwork and through messages from spirit. I decided to create a new instagram account to post spiritual pictures and quotes and to just help people feel better and find some guidance. Eventually that lead to me posting my readings and channelings from spirit and doing readings for the incredible people I met online. I continued to read more books, practice, take classes, receive healings, and develop my intuitive abilities and really just work on myself in general. I just wanted to be an embodiment of love and do what I love.

I started hearing about Reiki and eventually met my teacher Stephanie. Reiki felt like home and it was a place where everything I believed in was put into a self-healing practice I could share with myself, other people, animals, plants, food, crystals, places, and literally anywhere. Reiki embodied that oneness I craved so badly. Over the course of the year I was attuned to all of the levels and eventually became a Certified Reiki Master Teacher and Practitioner for people and animals. In the midst of learning and becoming attuned to Reiki, my natural animal communication skills were highlighted and I dove hard back into that core part of who I was. I started practicing with my own animals and any that I would meet and reading lots of books. I continued my self Reiki practice and that opened so much for me. It’s a huge passion of mine to connect with animals because they’ve always come to me in dreams, meditations, and they’ve been a huge part of my life since I was a child. They’ve been my biggest healers and teachers in my life, and they always guide me back to love.

One of my biggest dreams in life was to work at a wolf sanctuary to help the wolves because I think they are one of the most misunderstood animals. I honestly believe most animals are misunderstood and we can connect so much better with them. Wolves have followed me since I was a child. They’ve shown up in meditations time and time again, in dreams, in visions, in songs, in artwork. I’ve always really respected their connection to family and how protective they are because I feel I’m the same way.

“For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.” -Rudyard Kipling

To me this quote embodies the meaning of oneness. I believe we should lift each other up and help each other along. We are all mirrors and guides for each other. We are all connected. Everyone wants to be loved, live their best life, and be happy and at peace. We all have a mind, a heart, and we are all connected to the breath. The present moment. The spirit. The whole.

Wolves have constantly been a strong guide and mentor for me along my journey, pushing me to lead with love again so many times. They inspired the name for my business and my logo because the wolf spirit is within me, and is what leads my wild heart and free spirit.

I’m finally here. Doing what I love. Creating what I love. Leading from my heart. Connecting with and helping both people and animals. I’m so grateful for you to be here for this incredible new beginning.
