As a Certified Veterinary Technician & Canine Nutritionist, I am well equipped to assist pet owners in creating health and wellness goals for their animal companions!.
"A veterinary technician’s goal is to help patients live a long, happy, and healthy life, and proper nutrition is the cornerstone of that goal. Therefore, it is imperative that veterinary technicians play an active and leading role in educating clients about proper nutrition for their pets. Even animals that are not sick may not have optimum wellness."
"The veterinary healthcare team should focus on proper nutrition for every animal that presents to their hospital. To do this, veterinary technicians should be responsible for performing complete nutritional histories and patient assessments, as well as for educating pet parents about proper nutrition for their beloved animals."

You can read my full story HERE! But for now, see if you can relate to this:
When my first dog started having digestive problems, I tried EVERYTHING.
-
Countless foods
-
Prescription diets
-
Medications
-
Supplements
I don't even know how much I spent trying to find something that worked. Let alone, how many hours I devoted to scouring the internet for answers.
Money, and time are two things that nobody likes to waste. Especially when it's a blind hunt for answers or even a tidbit of information that might help.
With a Whole Body Wellness Consultation, I put my 10+ years of knowledge to work and do all the research, so you don't have to go searching for answers.
*Note: Food & supplement recommendations are NOT just a brand recommendation. I will have very specific products listed from reputable companies who have high standards of quality control and ingredient sourcing.
**Keep in mind, I do not treat disease. I simply give you the tools to boost your pet's overall health and well-being, so the body can do the work of reaching it's full and healthy potential.

Learn more about how a healthy diet and lifestyle can benefit your pet!
We live in a world where convenience is everything.
Overly processed food, a sprinkle of toxins on our lawns, a chemical cleaner (or 10) in the home, an automatic room spray to cover up the stink. The list goes on...
Millions of pets are suffering, at the expense of a toxic environment, poor diet, and less than optimal lifestyle.
Yes, all of these contribute to the nutritional and overall health status of our pets.
It first begins with what they eat, and continues on to environmental factors.
Both of these are the prime staple to affecting nutritional variation and impacting balance within the body.
Everything that our pets are exposed to directly affects their health status: for better or worse.
The core of the immune system, and the body's health, always begins at a cellular level, and specifically; in the gut.
Food must be broken down, and also properly absorbed, in order to fully utilize it's nutrients, and supply the body with energy, and vitality.
In order for this to happen, the food must first be bio-available. Proper enzymes, and intestinal flora must also be present.
Meanwhile, the body should be filtering out other elements that need not be floating around, causing havoc (toxins and waste)!
When the body doesn't have this cycle put together correctly:
-
Food is not digested
-
Food components are not absorbed
-
Toxins begin to accumulate
-
Inflammation builds!
*Stress and emotional health also play a huge role in gut health!
If the body lacks vital minerals and other nutrients, and is under a constant state of stress, the animal can then develop a decreased ability to fight off pathogens and parasites. (I have had 1 client report that after a proper diet change, their pet eliminated parasites! This may be due to the fact that the body is restoring vital nutrients and the immune system is increasing).
When the body is not supplied with proper nutrients:
-
Chronic inflammation accumulates
-
Vitality is depleted
-
Balance within the body (homeostasis) is disrupted.
Ultimately leading to illness and unpleasant symptoms.
Low quality food, heavy toxin load, environmental stressors; both physical and emotional = decreased health status.
BUT, what happens if the body is fed a nutritious/wholesome, appropriate diet, with toxins being properly eliminated and their external environment is cleaned up?
Health.
The body regains balance. And VITALITY is restored.
