Meet Mikey, my African Sideneck turtle and the heart behind it all.

For over four years, I’ve cared for Mikey and learned so much about what turtles truly need to live happy, healthy lives.

This space was created to share what I’ve learned—so you can feel confident, calm, and connected as a turtle parent too.

Mikey continues to teach me patience, joy, and gentle care every day—and I hope she inspires you too.
