    <description><![CDATA[<p>Shalon Smith is the owner of Belvoir Mine Alpacas, a ranch in Ophir, California where she raises alpacas and offers educational experiences, yoga, sound baths, and a boutique featuring alpaca products. Shalon&apos;s passion for alpacas began when she stumbled upon an alpaca farm while living in Bass Lake, and she ended up buying 13 alpacas before even having a place to keep them. Over the past 12-13 years, Shalon has grown her business to include boarding alpacas for others, offering therapy and wellness programs with the animals, and selling alpaca products, all while navigating the challenges of running a small farm with her husband often living in different states. Shalon finds great joy in sharing the calming presence of the alpacas with others, especially those facing difficulties in life.<br/><br/>Key Topics:<br/><br/>1. Shalon&apos;s Background and Alpaca Journey:<br/>- Shalon&apos;s husband works in construction and is often away, so she decided to start an alpaca ranch as a stay-at-home mom.<br/>- She had no prior experience with animals but became fascinated with alpacas after visiting a local ranch. She started volunteering there to learn, and eventually bought 13 alpacas.<br/>- Shalon had to find a ranch property and get set up to care for the alpacas, all while her husband was living in another state.<br/><br/>2. Unique Characteristics of Alpacas:<br/>- Alpacas are male-induced ovulators, so the males and females have to be kept separate to prevent over-breeding.<br/>- Alpacas have a unique way of identifying individuals through &quot;breath exchanging&quot; - they smell your breath to recognize you.<br/>- Alpaca poop is sterile and can be used as a natural fertilizer, making them great grazers for a property.<br/><br/>3. Shalon&apos;s Alpaca Business and Offerings:<br/>- Shalon offers boarding services for people who want to own alpacas but don&apos;t have the space.<br/>- She provides educational experiences and tours for children, adults, and organizations like rehab centers and shelters.<br/>- Shalon offers wellness experiences like yoga, sound baths, and therapy sessions with the alpacas.<br/>- She has a boutique on the ranch that sells alpaca products like yarn, socks, and garments.<br/>- Shalon works with a local alpaca ranch to sell their yarn in her boutique, supporting other small businesses.<br/><br/>4.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shalon Smith is the owner of Belvoir Mine Alpacas, a ranch in Ophir, California where she raises alpacas and offers educational experiences, yoga, sound baths, and a boutique featuring alpaca products. Shalon&apos;s passion for alpacas began when she stumbled upon an alpaca farm while living in Bass Lake, and she ended up buying 13 alpacas before even having a place to keep them. Over the past 12-13 years, Shalon has grown her business to include boarding alpacas for others, offering therapy and wellness programs with the animals, and selling alpaca products, all while navigating the challenges of running a small farm with her husband often living in different states. Shalon finds great joy in sharing the calming presence of the alpacas with others, especially those facing difficulties in life.<br/><br/>Key Topics:<br/><br/>1. Shalon&apos;s Background and Alpaca Journey:<br/>- Shalon&apos;s husband works in construction and is often away, so she decided to start an alpaca ranch as a stay-at-home mom.<br/>- She had no prior experience with animals but became fascinated with alpacas after visiting a local ranch. She started volunteering there to learn, and eventually bought 13 alpacas.<br/>- Shalon had to find a ranch property and get set up to care for the alpacas, all while her husband was living in another state.<br/><br/>2. Unique Characteristics of Alpacas:<br/>- Alpacas are male-induced ovulators, so the males and females have to be kept separate to prevent over-breeding.<br/>- Alpacas have a unique way of identifying individuals through &quot;breath exchanging&quot; - they smell your breath to recognize you.<br/>- Alpaca poop is sterile and can be used as a natural fertilizer, making them great grazers for a property.<br/><br/>3. Shalon&apos;s Alpaca Business and Offerings:<br/>- Shalon offers boarding services for people who want to own alpacas but don&apos;t have the space.<br/>- She provides educational experiences and tours for children, adults, and organizations like rehab centers and shelters.<br/>- Shalon offers wellness experiences like yoga, sound baths, and therapy sessions with the alpacas.<br/>- She has a boutique on the ranch that sells alpaca products like yarn, socks, and garments.<br/>- Shalon works with a local alpaca ranch to sell their yarn in her boutique, supporting other small businesses.<br/><br/>4. Shalon&apos;s Passion and Heart-Centered Approach:<br/>- Shalon finds great joy and fulfillment in sharing her alpacas and ranch with others, especially those going throu</p><p>Find Peace &amp; Healing with Heart Wide Open Wellness<br/><br/></p><p><a href='https://www.heartwideopenwellness.com/psychotherapy'>Meet the Team</a> – Led by MFTi Supervisor &amp; CEU Provider Hannah Zackney, our skilled therapists specialize in EMDR, couples counseling, music therapy, and holistic healing.
