  • Description

    Description

    My home is a 200+ acre paradise located in rural BC, Canada. I am within 15min away from the famous Wells Grey Park. I am a health practitioner for over 25 years in the healing arts and psychology and have created a healing space for like-minded individuals.

    Being comfortable around horses is prioritized. Please let me know your experience with horses. I have two rescue horses that would love to have regular communication.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Traveling and the outdoors is my passion, and I look forward to sharing stories with travelers.

    As a health practitioner I am involved in both Western science (psychoneuroendocrine immune (PNEI) researcher/Clinical Health Psychology) and Eastern medicine (Traditional Chinese Medicine), therefore I am very interested in listening to and discussing topics of great diversity especially as it pertains to community well-being.

    Help

    I am looking for individuals/couples who are mindful, mature, independent, and have transportation. I will need support in house sitting and farm-stay help i.e., tending to the garden and animal care (feeding, horse grooming), cleaning, and general maintenance, you will also be expected to purchase your groceries and prepare your own meals.

    No alcohol. No drugs. No smoking.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We have a 100 sqft private area (foldable floor mattress) with a private shower/bathroom available. We ask that no shoes be worn in the two main buildings.

    Onsite camping by the river or on the pastures is an option (and probably the best way to spend the wonderful summer months).

    Groceries are 15 minutes by car from my place.
    You are welcome to food in the garden at any time.

    Temperatures are comfortable in the 70s and 80s throughout the spring/summer/fall so camping is amazing.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    There are several camping sites and hiking areas close by. Wells Grey Park is remarkable, riddled with waterfalls and amazing views. There is river rafting in the summer. Lake swimming is also easily accessible (15-minute drive). Two ski resorts are in the vicinity of my home, one of which is Sun Peaks which has spectacular hiking and wildflower foliage in the summer/fall. The main town Kamloops is 45 minutes away by car.
