Hi, I'm Lyn.

For more than 25 years, I threw pots and made functional pieces, ran an arts center, and taught adults how to find something in themselves through the making of things. I have always believed that what we create with our hands and our attention tells us something true about who we are. It turns out that attention is at the heart of everything I have done, then and now.
Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I trained and showed my own dogs, competed in agility, and learned early that the bond between a dog and the person who loves them is one of the most honest relationships there is.

Then life handed me something I did not see coming. A significant loss that conventional support, as good as it was, could not fully reach. I followed the prescribed path. I did what was recommended. And I found that while those things helped, they did not get to the bottom of it.
It was only when I went looking beyond conventional approaches that things began to genuinely shift. That experience sent me on a path of deep study and training that eventually led me to become a certified Master and Advanced Master Practitioner of Shamanic Energy Medicine through the Four Winds Society, and a Munay-Ki Practitioner.
What I learned through that training, and through my own experience, is that lasting change requires working at the source. Not the story. Not the pattern. Not the behavior. The root beneath all of it. Like a weed in the garden, if you only take the greenery, it comes back. You have to get the whole root.
And then my own dog showed me exactly what that meant.

Murphy Brown was my Australian Shepherd. She had been thunder phobic her entire life. Fourteen years of watching her spiral into a panic so severe she was close to hurting herself. I had tried everything available to me. Nothing reached it.
When I was introduced to AO Scan technology, I was curious but cautious. I began testing it. And then a thunderstorm rolled in. Then a second. By the third storm, Murphy Brown settled at my feet instead of needing to be crated.
I remember thinking: if this can do that for a dog who has no idea what I am doing, who cannot be talked into it or out of it, who cannot have a placebo effect, what else can it do?
The AO Scan was doing exactly what my shamanic training had always pointed toward. Working at the base level, the root level, where all true change begins. I knew then that this was the work I needed to bring forward.

Today I work with devoted dog owners who have tried everything and are still managing life around their dog's challenges instead of enjoying it. I have watched families fracture over a dog's unresolved behavior. I have watched people rehome dogs they loved because they ran out of options. That does not have to be the ending.
I also work with individuals, families, and wellness seekers through the AO Scan as a standalone tool, with or without any connection to dogs. The technology supports balance and well-being at the frequency level for anyone open to it.
AO Scan is a wellness support technology. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or cure any disease or condition.
And I continue to do shamanic energy work with people on an individual basis, because that foundation remains at the heart of everything I understand about how real change happens.

Whisper, my current rescue dog, came home with her own history and her own fears. She is still teaching me. I do not think that ever stops.

I volunteer AO Scan frequency support to a local rescue organization, working with their dogs, their people, and the broader work they do. It is one of the things I am most grateful to be able to offer.

If you found your way here because something in your life or your dog's life has not responded to what you have already tried, you are in the right place. I would be glad to talk with you about what might be possible.

Here are a few ways to take the next step, wherever you are in the process.
