The Herd

Three horses grazing in a grassy field, with a black horse, a brown horse, and a white and brown horse in the background. Trees and a yellow fence are visible in the distance.

We are specifically not introducing you to the herd by name so that you can incorporate them into your story.

My commitment to this work and my clients continues to grow with each step of the journey. I look forward to the path ahead with you.
