Wellness & Complementary Care Referrals
Your Pet's Complete Wellness Team
These practitioners have been personally selected for their expertise, compassionate approach, and commitment to collaborative pet care.
True wellness extends far beyond nutrition alone. While personalized nutrition forms the foundation of your pet's health, some companions benefit from additional complementary therapies that work alongside proper nutrition and veterinary care to address the whole animal—body, mind, and spirit.
A Collaborative Approach to Pet Health
After two decades in holistic pet wellness, I've learned that the most successful health transformations happen when we surround our companion animals with a team of caring, skilled practitioners. Just as humans benefit from integrative healthcare approaches, our pets thrive when we address their needs through multiple therapeutic modalities working in harmony.
My nutrition recommendations often work synergistically with other wellness practices. For example, a dog with chronic anxiety may benefit not only from gut-supporting nutrition but also from bodywork to release physical tension, or behavioral support to address environmental stressors. A cat recovering from illness might heal more completely with targeted nutrition plus energy work or gentle physical therapy.
Why I Refer to Trusted Partners
Quality Over Convenience: Every practitioner I refer has been carefully selected based on their expertise, compassionate approach, and commitment to collaborative care. These aren't just names from a directory—they're professionals I know and trust with the animals I care about most.
Integrative Philosophy: All of my referral partners understand that their work complements, rather than replaces, proper veterinary medical care. We work together as a team, each contributing our unique expertise to support your pet's optimal wellness.
Personalized Matching: Not every therapy is right for every pet. I consider your companion's specific needs, temperament, and health challenges when suggesting additional practitioners, ensuring the best possible fit for your family.
