Pet wellness and nutrition is what I do

BIO

Early in my career, I studied and worked as a holistic nutritionist (for humans). I consulted with clients, worked in a health food store's vitamin department, and several years with a nutrition foundation.​​​​

Over time, my career took me away from nutrition, but like a dog wagging its tail, I found my way back to my passion - with a focus on canine health.

Science-backed nutrition knowledge with a growing understanding of traditional nutrition (Ayurvedic) principles, helped me to better support pets and canine clients through acute disease flair-ups and normal lifestyle and life stage changes.
