Wild Idaho Mountain Woman
Dr. heather mack
Born and raised in Pennsylvania surrounded by nature and animals, Heather always wanted to become a veterinarian and to move out West. She began riding horses at 9 years old and they are still her #1 passion. She was one of the first women to receive her undergraduate degree at Columbia University and then she completed her Veterinary Medical Degree at University of Pennsylvania in 1991. That same year she moved to Idaho. When she is not busy with her Holistic Equine Sports Medicine practice spanning from S. California to Calgary, you will find her playing with her own horses, exploring the wilderness, elk hunting or refining her riding and horsemanship skills. Her first ranch was outside of Boise, Idaho where she spent 20 years breeding, raising, training, observing herd dynamics and healing her own horses and treating clients horses’. In 2007 she acquired the Dream Ranch in the heart of Central Idaho’s White Cloud Wilderness.

hilary mace
Hilary has been working as a professional chef for over 20 years. As a graduate of The Institute of Culinary Education in Manhattan, she began her career working for some of the top restaurants in New York City in 2002.
She founded her first business, The Scarlet Runner, in 2011. With a focus on using all local, organic ingredients, the team made everything from scratch. The business continued to grow and by 2020 she had over 40 employees and was the most sought after caterer in Eastern PA.
Hilary’s latest venture, The Art of Ceremonial Cooking, is an invitation to deepen our connection to food while honoring the art of ceremony. It is a creation intended to encourage us all to really feel into the idea of food as medicine; recognizing not only the importance of how and where the food is grown, but also the energetic environments in which we prepare and consume our food. She invites you to gather in the kitchen and around the table with her and take part in a culinary revolution.

Jayd goodlet
“Jayd is a beautiful young woman, following her heart ❤️ as she navigates life’s possibilities. She became my working student 5 yrs ago when I ran an integrated equine wellness Centre/clinic in Alberta, Canada.
She lived with me for the year during Covid and every morning we exercised, healed and strengthened our connection with horses through horsemanship. These skills we learned mostly from Jonathan Field. After she finished her on line school, we would ski, walk or ride into the surrounding Boreal forest and do Qi Gong. Our intention there was especially to strengthen our lungs and the breath of the 🌎 planet. Our focus in meditation was to calm the world’s fear and visualize Healing and Hope.
In 2022, Jayd spent a year with me in the US traveling between the Dream Ranch, where we both live our best lives, and working in California. Her skill set and tool kit are a huge compliment to my treatments.
I would send her anywhere in the world with my horses and know that they are loved, understood and cared for🙏.
Jayd is currently in Alberta finishing her Pilates Certification, studying Environmental Science at University of Calgary and training horses and their people helping them develop true connections.” - Dr. Mack
