Debby Potts has been passionate about animals since childhood, despite being allergic to them. She overcame her allergies and dedicated her life to animal well-being. She became one of Oregon’s first board-certified veterinary technicians and later one of the first Tellington TTouch Instructors. Her journey with TTouch began in 1984 when she sought a way to help a horse with a head injury. She was inspired by the progress the horse made and has been using TTouch to help animals and people ever since.
