This week we will be discussing the topic of: Healing Trauma Through Animal Companionship. Our guest this week is Karlonty Wallace.
Karlonty is an advocate for healing and empowerment. Her journey began in the nurturing environment of a home daycare, which grew into a bustling operation. However, the demands eventually led to a health setback, prompting me to explore her true calling.
She founded Pawsative Partnerships LLC with a specific mission - to help women of faith heal from trauma. Their approach is unique, leveraging the healing power of the human-canine bond. They also encourage professional therapy as an integral part of their journey.
Karonty’s educational background includes an associate's degree in Marketing Sales Management from James A. Rhodes State College (2008), which equips her with the skills to make a difference.
At Pawsative Partnerships LLC, they are committed to nurturing and empowering women on their path to healing, strength, and resilience. Spending time in a mirror, also, really work on forgiving themselves as well as that person. Forgiveness is not about the individual and not agreeing with what they did. But, Forgiveness is about releasing ourselves to walk in freedom.
