Our story and Faculty

I am a mom of seven children, have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, certification as a Laughter Yoga instructor, and believer that play, laughter and curiosity can change our brains at any age leading to a happy healthier world. As a mother I have watched firsthand how my kids have uniquely benefitted from FRM in the following ways: strengthened motor skills, improved balance and coordination, social skills, memory and confidence; positive mood regulation, peer group opportunities, increased confidence, expressive language, and leadership skills. I love sharing Laughter Yoga to all ages. We have all felt the health benefits of laughter as our bodies produce happy hormones which destress and calm our nervous system. The practice of Laughter Yoga in group reminds us that we can harness the benefits of play, creativity, and laughter any time we want and share it with the world. I am excited to be heading up the development of the non profit side of FRM. Funding from generous community donors will provide scholarships for Barn Management and Natural Horseman Certification Programs which provide neurodivergent individuals successful employment. Funds will also help underserved populations have access to all the benefits of FRM and be used to lighten the financial load of Special Needs schools by offering increased opportunities for field trips and play groups at the ranch. Tax exempt donations will be used to help train additional animals and build a weather proof covered area for students and animals.
