She has spent the past year as apprentice to Maggie Marshall of Maggie Marshall Dog Training in Jacksonville, FL, while earning her professional certification in dog training. Her journey into Reiki and dog training started with her rescued mixed breed, Stella, when she inexplicably began experiencing severe anxiety during car rides. Since then, Amber has been on a quest to find the perfect combination to restore the mind and body for dogs. She believes there is a holistic balance between the cognitive skills (dog training) and aligning the emotional health through Reiki and other enrichment activities, especially when it comes to fearful and anxious dogs. Together, these two practices can help owners and their dogs achieve a deeper bond and a happier family life. (Click here to learn 10 powerful benefits of Reiki.)

Prior to pursuing her passion for dog training, Amber worked in the insurance industry for 20 years, building a strong reputation through her professional management style and business acumen. Geographically based in St. Augustine, FL, with her husband, daughter and three rescue dogs Stella, Sierra, and Stout, Amber is scheduling services to meet individual needs with private lessons for dog training, online or private sessions for animal Reiki, as well as dog-walking and pet sitting services in her local neighborhoods.
