Angela is the inspiration behind The Blissful Heart Wellness Center. She grew up in Southern California and in 1993 moved to Oregon with her family. Having grown up in a Christian family home, she had little exposure to other forms of spirituality. It wasn't until her mother’s passing back in 2012 that she started experiencing " beautiful coincidences" that contradicted some of her upbringing beliefs. She began exploring the "unknown" and through this process she was guided to create a center for alternative healing methods by building a safe space to assist others on their healing journey. She believes that in order to heal and grow, we must look inward and self-reflect, experience various healing modalities, connect with Mother Nature and seek a higher purpose. In 2016 the Blissful Heart Wellness Center was born and with over 35 Holistic Practitioners, A Health Café, Holistic Hair Salon, Classroom for workshops, Magical Gardens and a Crystal and Metaphysical Boutique, this center has become the first of its kind in Oregon! From Trauma Counselors, Massage Therapists, Estheticians to Reiki Energy Healers, Intuitive Readers, Spiritual Coaching and much more, The Blissful Heart Wellness Center has all types of modalities to help heal! We have all experienced some type of grief, wounding or trauma. Angela feels that we must heal that trauma so it doesn’t manifest into illness. Angela is passionate about offering healing in a safe place and creating community for support for an individual’s healing journey!

Your wounds may not be your fault, but your healing journey is your responsibility!

These past few years since opening have been a personal journey for Angela- especially in the lesson of letting go and trusting. “When I can step out of the way and let the Universe do its job, everything begins to fall into place and the process flows a lot easier. The outcome is far better than I could have ever imagined! But we are human, and I constantly have to remind myself to stop controlling, ask for help from above, let go and trust my intuition.”

Angela continues to follow her intuition and is underway with a Wild Horse Sanctuary and a Retreat Center! Her vision is to save horses from the kill pens and slaughter pipeline as well as for people and horses to heal together. The first wild mustangs will be released onto the property in mid-June 2022. 11 horses and mules will arrive in Oregon at the end of June. These 11 rescues are coming from a kill pen in Oklahoma. The mares, foals and mules were being weighed and loaded onto a truck to Mexico for slaughter… she was able to rescue 11. She is passionate about bringing awareness to this horrible industry. The 2,000 acre ranch south of Bend will be opening up for tours summer of 2023.

During Angela’s free time you can find her... Spending time with family, traveling and playing outdoors. She loves to hike, mountain bike, paddle board, ski, garden, just to name a few. Her family lives close by, so spending time with her adult daughters, husband of 35 years and 5 grandkids are an important part of her week.
