Gaby

I am an experienced business owner, animal trainer, educator, and animal-assisted therapist with a passion for ethical and science-based training methods. With a strong background in applied human sciences and psychology, I am dedicated to fostering meaningful connections between animals and people, whether through hands-on training, therapeutic interventions, or educational and spiritual programs. I am seeking an opportunity to integrate these skills into a farm setting, creating a space where animals and humans thrive together.

Experience

Growing up in Goose Bay, Labrador, and spending summers on my grandmother’s farm instilled in me a deep connection to the land and a practical understanding of self-sufficiency. I learned firsthand the importance of sustainable living, from tending to livestock and harvesting crops to preserving food for the winter. This foundation carried into my adult life, where I continue to grow my own food and have experience with hunting and processing, further enriching my knowledge of ecological balance and ethical land stewardship. These skills bring a unique perspective, emphasizing the harmony between nature, animals, and human well-being.

Relationship with Farm Owner

I am looking for a forward-thinking partner to help bring my program to life—a visionary who values innovation, trust, and long-term collaboration. The program is designed to bridge the gap between science, psychology, and spirituality, offering transformative experiences that connect people with nature through guided interactions with wolves and the food we grow to feed the participants. This program is more than just a conventional idea; it is a movement toward deeper self-awareness, emotional healing, and a renewed appreciation for the natural world. As an animal trainer, educator, animal-assisted therapist, and published author, I bring a wealth of expertise in behavior science and human-animal connections. I am seeking a partner who shares my passion for thinking outside the box—someone eager to co-create a space where education, therapy, and experiential learning converge in a groundbreaking way.
