Our Story.... ❤️
It has been one year since my beloved Witten became mysteriously and deathly ill.
—
Looking at these pictures still pain me, like pouring salt in an open wound.
—
It took us on a very difficult journey; one we all learned so much from, emotionally, physically, spiritually, financially, and holistically.
—
But my greatest takeaway from enduring all of this is the gift I discovered through Witten’s journey.
—
He survived because our local veterinarian had enough knowledge to know that she couldn’t provide the level of care he needed and referred us to a specialty hospital hours away from our home.
—
He survived because of the veterinary team and all the specialists that helped care for him while hospitalized at the animal hospital for one long week.
—
He survived because his loyal dog-Mom kept pushing, questioning, and challenging his professional health providers because, instinctually and intuitively, I knew he could recover from this.
—
He survived because he had massive doses of antibiotics, anti-nausea medications, pain medications, and fluids to stay hydrated.
—
He survived because he had a feeding tube placed to provide nutrition and hydration when he couldn’t tolerate any food or fluids.
—
He survived because collaboratively between our daily family visits to him while in the hospital and the amazing medical care team caring for him, we were able to get him through the life-threatening crisis to a point of being medically “stable”.
—
My Christmas wish was answered and he was home with us for Christmas....not well, but HOME.
—
The months to follow were tumultuous with many ups and downs. The feeding tube remained in place for months because he simply would not eat.
—
This is where my research journey began on nutrition; a nurse by profession and unstoppable mother on a mission to HEAL her best friend and soulmate animal. ❤️
—
I learned a lot in the last year and am most thankful to report that Witten is happy, healthier, and still by my side.
—
He HEALED through nutrition.
—
I am taking a leap into the animal space to offer help and support to other pet parents who are interested in learning more about nutrition, supplements, and what types of food one SHOULD be feeding their beloved fur babies to offer optimal health and longevity.
—
Because the message is clear that it is NOT in the packaged foods you are buying off the shelves of local pet chain stores.
—
I want to give back from enduring our experience and empower pet parents by educating them about all things holistic, starting with nutrition.

We can discuss your pet’s needs and let me help you customize a meal plan, or offer supplements, that are designed specifically for your fur-babies and what their unique needs are.

My goal is to help people and their pets live their longest, happiest, and most optimal lives TOGETHER. YOU are a vital component to that. And I can show you how.❤️
