Welcome Sage,

I am here to support you.

My goal is to help you unearth your inner wisdom. I am here to aid your journey toward balance, health, and wellness. 

My name is Trish Dawn Roisum,

I am the owl of The Owl And The Sage. I am here to support and guide you as your personal coach. I am a healer with a passion for healing and service.

My career began when at age four I asked my mom if I could go to college to become a bird. A few decades later, I graduated from the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine. My adventures as a veterinarian started in rural southern Oregon making small town memories. Large animals, companion animals, and wildlife served as my teachers and guides.

I CHERISH THOSE INCREDIBLE ADVENTURES, LIFE-ALTERING EXPERIENCES, AND FOUNDATIONAL LESSONS.

My focus has narrowed and my practice is now devoted to our canine and feline companions. I enjoy providing dental care, managing chronic health concerns, facilitating holistic wellness care with customized vaccination protocols, and providing in-home end-of-life care.

To complement Western medicine, I offer complementary therapies such as acupuncture, veterinary spinal manipulation therapy, palliative care, and hospice care,

Throughout my career, I have pursued self-development work including Vipassana meditation retreats, Nia White Belt training, Awakening Women Goddess Circle Teacher training, and now The Adult Chair® Coaching Certification.

I help ​anyone associated with the field of veterinary medicine ​​find their unique path and thrive. I am passionate about supporting my coworkers and colleagues to maintain their love of this vital profession. 

My hope is that you will accompany me on a healing journey.

We will dive deep and explore what is holding you back from experiencing your most fulfilling life.

  • "I didn't realize how much help I needed until I started talking with Trish.

    Her compassionate heart and emphatic mind helped guide me through saying goodbye to my best friend and companion of over 16 years. I'm grateful for the kindness and generosity Trish gives to each situation, human, and animal. Thank you! “

  • "When I worked with Trish I was in a dark place, feeling like emotional reprieve was not a possibility at the moment. But she held space for me so gently and calmly that my heart center started to open and I could see the possibilities for forgiveness and peace by the end of our session. She helped me back to the light."

THE OWL AND THE SAGE IS THE STORY OF A WOMAN WITH A HUGE HEART AND EVEN BIGGER DREAMS.

She believed in service, hard work, and the power of love. This woman chose veterinary medicine as her way to love and honor the creatures, and to heal herself and others. The dogs, cats, horses, cows, birds, and tortoises were friends and teachers. They offered lesson after lesson. No one could have predicted the synchronicities, the emotions, nor the potential for healing that existed on her journey.

Yet, as the months ticked by, as the years rolled over, this woman forgot her brilliance. Due to no fault of her own, she became tired, dull, and painful. Her anger bubbled over, frustrations flared, grief overflowed, and she started to disconnect.

Just as she thought that she couldn't go on, she met an owl. In the woods, the owl sat with the woman who had slowly forgotten her own brilliance.

The owl gently helped the woman remove the layers of pain, anger, frustration, darkness, and grief. Because the owl was curious, a good listener, intuitive, and observant, healing was possible. The owl guide uncovered hidden potentials and forgotten abilities. The owl gave higher perspective, brought messages from the spirit realm and was able to see through the darkness.

The owl gently helped the woman remove the layers of pain, anger, frustration, darkness, and grief.

Slowly, the woman uncovered her inner wisdom. She rediscovered her path and her purpose. As the leader of her own journey, she evolved into a sage. Joy and laughter came more frequently, love and light returned, and a passion for life bloomed once more.

This is the saga of the owl and the sage.

A sage’s mind is greater than a warrior’s sword.
