From a Registered Nurse of 20 years to a Canine Nutritionist & Health Educator, it’s been a natural evolution. As a RN, I’ve spent years understanding how the body works, how healing happens and how the whole person — mind, body, and environment — impacts health. The same principle applies to our dogs.

Holistic Health isn’t about replacing science — it’s about expanding it. It’s recognizing that food is medicine. That emotional well-being matters. That prevention is just as powerful as treatment.

When I look at a dog, I don’t just see symptoms — I see systems. I see possibilities for healing through nutrition, stress and toxic load reduction, energy balance, and natural therapies that support the body gently and intentionally.

So yes, I am still a nurse — just with a different kind of patient now.

And I truly believe that blending modern knowledge with ancient wisdom is the most powerful form of care that we can offer.

When my own two dogs were diagnosed with cancer, it ignited a passion to help others who are faced with this devastating journey. My experiences with Chuck & Charlie shaped the way I support clients today. They taught me that caring for a dog with chronic disease or cancer is not just a medical journey—it’s an emotional one.

That perspective allows me to serve not only as an educator and wellness advocate, but also as a grief-informed guide for families navigating some of life’s most difficult seasons.

My goal is not only to empower pet parents with the knowledge and tools to better support their dog’s health, but also to provide a lifeline for those navigating chronic disease, cancer and end-of-life care. No family should have to walk that path alone.
