Juanita Romano, known as Sage Woman in her Cheyenne tradition, is of Native American descent and has walked a spiritual path since childhood. With deep reverence for all living beings—winged, four-legged, rooted, or flowing—she founded Healing Gardens Church to serve her community through ceremony and prayer.

Through Crossing Stars, Juanita offers compassionate services to honor the sacred bond between humans and their animal companions, recognizing them as family members and earthbound angels.
