Welcome to Wheel and Heart!
I’m Carmen Lara of Wheel and Heart LLC, based in Spearfish, SD. My mission is to unite people with the land and animals, a calling I follow through my work and daily life in nature.
I have been working with both animals and humans since 2018 and in 2020 becoming a Certified Healing Touch for Animals® Practitioner. As a healer, I support beings in their own healing journeys—always with the understanding that I am not healing them, but assisting them in reconnecting with their natural ability to heal.
When I tune into the energetic body, I act as a filter, clearing out energetic congestion that no longer serves. This allows the body to do what it is inherently designed to do: heal. The body is divine and knows exactly what it needs.
Every being’s healing journey is unique, and I honor the path that unfolds for each one.
Photography is another way I share healing. Through these images I capture, the energy they emit convey messages that speak directly to the soul. These are available by contacting me via email.

"Many people assume I work with only cat's and dog's. I have experience working with small and large animals, birds, aquatics and exotics." -Carmen Lara

"Carmen is fantastic! Maggie is typically a hyper dog, but when Carmen started a distance session with her, Maggie's heart beat slowed down and her body relaxed as she laid down next to me on the sofa." -N.L.

"My dog had a skin condition when he was a puppy and was given medication by our vet and were told it would take quite some time before hair growth if any would come through. Duke was very sensitive to touch because of this condition and experienced a lot of pain. Carmen worked with Duke in addition to the meds and baths and within a couple of weeks his hair was growing rapidly and was able to come off the meds." -V.L.

"Carmen recently did a second session on Luna as a follow-up, and we are so very grateful to have her expertise and support. We are clear that the vet was unable to do what Carmen accomplished. I am a fan of her work, and I highly recommend her services.”-C.M.
