Although my original training in veterinary medicine was in allopathic (mainstream) medicine, I have practiced Holistic Medicine for about 21 of my 27 years as a veterinarian. Trained at Colorado State University, at a time when alternative medicine for animals did not exist, it was only after my own illness more than 20 years ago that I found Homeopathy. It was love at first dose and I immediately knew this was the medicine I was meant to practice. My understandings about health and healing shifted dramatically and there has never been so much as a glance back.
I am currently available for telephone consultations and use Classical Homeopathy and Nutritional Therapeutics for all types of animal dis-ease; physical and emotional. Although I am trained in allopathic medicine my first choice is to use natural methods that will assist the body’s already hardwired ability to heal. The Homeopathy stimulates the body's healing response, the nutrition and supplements feed the body, together they potentiate a more vital healing response.
I am certified in Veterinary Homeopathy, trained by Dr. Richard Pitcairn, as well as other human homeopaths. I am also certified in Veterinary Acupuncture, trained through the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS). Currently I train with many of the country's foremost researchers and teachers in Functional/Nutritional medicine.
Although I consult clients about Homeopathy, Nutrition and Nutracueticals my primary focus is education. It is through understanding the fundamentals of how to truly prevent illness we achieve the most resiliant and resistant body. It is also through these concepts as to how the the body maintains and sustains health, we can raise our expectations of wellness and vitality in our animals and ourselves.
