Meet The Team

Tina has lived in the area most of her life. She has spent her life around horses and has grandchildren who are on the spectrum and fill her life with joy. Her dream is to offer a safe place for children on the spectrum to learn, grow, and enjoy the farm setting. Tina is also a certified Emergency Medical Technician.

Paulette has been with the organization since the beginning. This is dear to her heart as she has children and grandchildren on the spectrum. Paulette grew up on a ranch outside of Cascade, MT, and has also worked with individuals with ASD and Mental Illness. She is a presenter/facilitator for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).

Kimberly is a professional fitness coach. She is also helping to raise her grandson who is on the spectrum. He is doing great with her love and instruction. She may engage the caregivers and the local community in classes where muscle movement and strength will greatly relax and remove stress from daily activities.  

Laurie has many children who are all on the spectrum. She has much love and respect for each of them. She has over 30 years of research and experience working with special needs individuals, with 12 years as a Special Education Teacher. All her years of being associated with physical and mental health disorders make her a viable part of the team.

Jenny is a Montana native who recently returned home after living in other states for twenty years. She is a dedicated single mother of four. Jenny is passionate about family, community, and supporting her children’s growth. She is also co-owner of Rogue Brownies, a local business she runs with her sister, where she enjoys creating, learning, and growing her business in Montana.
