Emmie, left, and Biscuit enjoyed some post-horse-show Reiki at Summit Equestrian Center.

Thank you for visiting! I’m a writer, editor, and animal wellness practitioner in northeastern Indiana. This unique assortment of pursuits grew out of a long career in journalism, a lifelong connection with animals, a theological seminary education, and years of intuitive development and learning stuff the hard way.

For more information on my animal Reiki and animal communication practice, see the menu links at left. Also check out the true tales and tips in my Animal Wise blog post series.

Otherwise, here’s what I do:

• Feature stories for local and national publications, particularly on gardening, animals, religion, and spirituality
• Copy editing
• Content editing
• Press releases
• Marketing copy
• Academic paper and dissertation editing
• Promotion and tenure case editing
• Just about anything else that requires getting the words right
