As I look back over my life, I’m in awe of the sacred synchronicities, soulful messengers, and wise animal guides that have led me to where I am today. What once felt like a life shattered by loss, grief, and unanswered prayers has become a tapestry of healing, purpose, and deep spiritual fulfillment. The journey wasn’t easy — but it brought me home to myself, to my calling, and to the beautiful soul work I now offer through Spirit Wolf Energetics.
From an early age, I felt a profound connection with animals. As a shy, sensitive, and introverted child, animals were my safe place — a source of unconditional love, peace, and belonging. That deep bond shaped who I am and laid the foundation for everything I do today.
When I was ten years old, I held my baby sister in my arms for the first time and felt an overwhelming desire to become a mother. That dream lived in my heart for decades, only to be met with the heartbreak of unexplained infertility. I heard those words not once, but twice — in two different marriages — and with them came waves of despair, loneliness, and self-doubt.
While others around me joyfully embraced motherhood, I wrestled with an aching emptiness and a question that haunted me: Why not me? My heart broke open over and over again, but each time, something divine reached in to hold me — dreams, a stranger’s kindness, a Reiki session, a wolf’s gaze, and the healing power of nature.
My healing journey began unexpectedly in 1997 with a complimentary Reiki session offered by a friend. My first marriage had just ended and I left the courthouse feeling completely defeated with a horrific headache. I didn’t know what Reiki was, but something inside me said “yes.” That session became a turning point — my headache vanished, but more importantly, I felt peace in a way I hadn’t in years. That moment led me down a path of spiritual awakening and energy healing that has never stopped unfolding.
Reiki became my lifeline, and eventually, my life’s work.
Animals remained my closest companions and greatest teachers. Their presence, especially my dogs, helped me through dark nights of the soul. They reminded me that I still had love to give — not just to a child of my own, but to all beings. That realization deepened during a spiritual retreat where I shared my infertility journey for the first time. After speaking, I was gifted a Dr. Seuss t-shirt that read “Mother of All Things.” In that moment, something clicked. I finally understood — my soul’s purpose wasn’t limited to traditional motherhood. I was here to nurture, heal, and love all living things.
That awakening expanded everything.
A health issue with one of my dogs led me to a holistic veterinary clinic, where I witnessed extraordinary transformations in animals through energy healing. When the veterinarian later invited me to join her team, I didn’t hesitate — I said yes without even asking about pay. It just felt right. That work changed my life. I saw animals heal on physical, emotional, and energetic levels, and I knew I had found my calling.
In 2013, another powerful nudge from Spirit brought me to the mountains of Colorado. My husband and I had planned to move together, but life had other plans. Instead, I moved with our five cats to a home nestled among pine trees at 9,000 feet, just minutes from a wolf sanctuary. As we unloaded the moving truck, the wolves began to howl — a sound that touched something primal and ancient within me. It was as if they were saying, “Welcome home.”
Soon after, I began volunteering at the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center. Pen cleaning became my favorite chore because it allowed me to connect deeply with the resident wolves, coyotes, and foxes. One day, while kneeling in an enclosure, a beautiful wolf named Keara approached me. As she placed her heart center beneath my hands, energy unintentionally began to flow. Time seemed to stand still. She visibly relaxed, looked into my eyes, gave me a gentle kiss, and walked away — but her message was clear: It’s time.
That sacred encounter was the birth of Spirit Wolf Energetics, LLC.
Today, I’m honored to offer compassionate, intuitive energy healing for animals and the people who love them. Through Reiki, Animal Reiki, Healing Touch for Animals, and other modalities, I help support physical wellness, emotional balance, and a deeper sense of connection. My work brings together over 25 years of experience in energy healing, a lifelong devotion to animals, and a grounded, heart-centered approach to wellness.
I work with clients locally in beautiful Durango, Colorado, and remotely with clients across the globe. I also teach Reiki and Animal Reiki to those who feel called to walk this sacred path.
Through all the pain, the longing, the uncertainty, and the tears, I’ve emerged as the woman I was always meant to be:
A healer.
A guide.
A Mother of All Things.
I believe our greatest wounds often reveal our greatest gifts. My purpose now is to help you and your beloved animal companions remember your own wholeness, tap into your inner wisdom, and walk your healing path with grace, courage, and unconditional love.
Welcome to Spirit Wolf Energetics.
Welcome home.
Testimonials
Healing happens within the context of relationship, and that is right where Beth starts!
Beth has worked with two of my dogs. One was declining from cancer, and the other was suffering from a traumatic fall. During their treatment sessions, she helped them feel safe and comfortable, and both responded immediately to Healing Touch and Craniosacral therapies, and the healing stayed with them.
Beth has always been readily available when needed, follows up as appropriate, and can be completely relied upon! Her practice is an extension of her mighty heart, and I’m grateful she is here in our community!

Before her relocation to Durango, Beth was a regular volunteer at the small animal shelter that I work for. You would not believe the difference in the dogs while she was visiting and providing them with her wonderful Reiki energy. If you’ve ever been to a shelter, you know how loud it can be. During and after her visits, the dogs became so much calmer and more relaxed. The shelter was quiet! That is the “proof in the pudding”.
Beth has helped countless “failure to thrive” kittens, mostly by distance work after providing her with a picture of the failing baby. She continues to help remotely with any animal we think could use some extra assistance. I have seen the difference it makes. I am so grateful for the valuable assistance that Beth has donated and continues to donate to shelter and rescue animals to help them have the happy, healthy life they deserve. Thank you, Beth!

I took my son to Beth, of Spirit Wolf Energetics, due to chronic muscle and joint pains. She was incredibly warm and welcoming, which quickly put him at ease. The Reiki session was calming yet somehow vibrant at the same time.
My son immediately felt less muscle tension and happily stated that his shoulder wasn’t popping as it had been earlier. As an added bonus, he slept much better that night! A huge thanks to Beth for the wonderful experience!

Beth didn’t just support me — she showed up like a soul ally when I needed it most. I had experienced an injury, and in that raw moment, she held space with such grace and strength that it felt like something bigger was at work. Strangely — and beautifully — a couple walking their dog were drawn into our situation and stayed to help until everything settled. It was as if her energy called in what was needed.
I’ve since had a Reiki session with Beth, and the only way I can describe it is: transformational. I left feeling not just relaxed, but rebalanced — as though my body had remembered something it had forgotten.
There’s something magnetic about her — the kind of quiet power that draws people in and creates instant trust. You see it in her eyes. You feel it in the room. And when she works with animals? That connection is almost beyond words. They sense her — and respond.
Beth isn’t just a healer. She’s a force of compassion, calm, and energetic precision. If you’re lucky enough to cross paths with her, don’t hesitate. Say yes.

Masha is a big, energetic Lab with loads of enthusiasm for life, but she has some fear issues that cripple her in certain environments.
She quickly calms down when Beth starts her therapy session of Healing Touch and Reiki, and the changes in her are immediately apparent. Masha’s fear lessens after her therapy, which allows her to more comfortably navigate the places that cause her stress and fear.
Thank you, Beth, for loving animals, especially mine! You absolutely make a difference.
