Mikala has been involved with TheissCare since its founding in 2016. When not empowering and educating people about their finances, she is empowering and educating people about their health.

“Changing lives has always been my number one priority, and in doing so, I’ve been able to change the course and the trajectory of my client’s lives not only financially, but also biologically: getting these two critical life markers wrong, is the scariest optical to overcome and control in anyone’s valued life.”

Giving Back
Center for Therapeutic Horsemanship
“Growing up on the back of a horse taught me the essentials of giving back and paying it forward. I knew that when the opportunity presented itself to teach adaptive horseback riding to children and adults with physical and cognitive disabilities I could not pass this up. I knew at the deepest level of who I am, that these children and adults, with their special medical conditions, would improve with the movement that only a horse can express. When the horse and a human bond, that’s the magic.”
When Not Saving and Changing Lives at TheissCare
You can find Mikala doing her favorite thing in the world, connecting back to reality on the back of a horse, where the real magic lives every day. “I have been riding horses since the age of 7. At an early age, I found tranquility, connecting at the deepest level with mother nature and her horse, which reconnected me, to the best part of humanity.”
When not in the stables, Mikala can be found meditating and getting beyond her analytical mind as she enters into her subconscious mind where her true permanent changes take place for herself and or you.
