TO MY ON LINE BOOK LAUNCH PARTY

08/03/2026

You are invited to my virtual book launch party!

Most books about pet cancer hand you protocols, supplements, and diets. This one starts somewhere deeper: with you, the person holding it all together.

Grounded in evidence yet unafraid to go beyond it, So Your Pet Has Cancer… Now What? reframes the entire journey. It gently dismantles the "war on cancer" mindset and replaces it with a more important, more peaceful measure of success: Did I do my best? Did I honor the life in my care? Did I find my own healing, and grow through this?

Who it's for:
❤️Pet parents facing a cancer diagnosis — at any stage, from the shock of the first news through treatment and beyond.

❤️Anyone who loves a pet like family — the person whose dog or cat is their best friend, their child, their steady source of unconditional love.

❤️People seeking whole-being wellness, not just information — those open to caring for Soul and Spirit alongside the science of the body.

❤️Guardians of healthy pets, too — anyone who wants to practice prevention and deepen the bond before a diagnosis ever arrives.

❤️Veterinary Professionals who want to support their clients through the journey of caring for a pet with cancer.

This event is being put on by Golden Acorn Press.

There are resources within you and around you — quieter than the fear, and far more powerful — waiting to be reached for. The steadiness you didn’t know you had. The choices still within your reach. A Love deep enough to hold both the hard and the beautiful at once.

“There are powerful untapped resources to support your wellbeing and your ability to transform the trouble you are experiencing now into more than just survival.”

This is the heart of my book — not just getting through, but discovering what becomes possible when you do.

📖 So Your Pet Has Cancer… Now What? — available for pre-order now. Launches August 25. 💛

How many hours of continuing education have you logged for your career? Dozens? Hundreds? Now — how many have you ever logged for your Soul?

We’re trained to keep learning. New credits, new certifications, new research to master every year. But almost no one teaches us how to keep growing into who we’re becoming.

For most of my life I believed those were the same thing. Work hard enough, achieve enough, care for enough patients and families — and fulfillment would follow. And in many ways, it did. I’ve built a career I love as an integrative veterinary oncologist, taught around the world, written a book. I wouldn’t trade a day of it.

But achievement and fulfillment are not the same experience. Achievement is about what you accomplish. Fulfillment is about who you become as you live a life that brings you into an inner state of Joy.

So many accomplished people build a beautiful life on the outside while still sensing something unfinished within. Because that kind of material success, while important and worthwhile, was never meant to be the ultimate destination. It was meant to be the foundation upon which to expand into even more.

That quiet pull isn’t a failure. It’s proof you’ve outgrown the definition of success you were handed by the world and your Soul is nudging you forward.

So maybe it’s time for a different kind of continuing education. Not another credential for your career — but real training for your Soul.

✨ That’s what the Beyond Ordinary Retreat is. I’ve curated five days of continuing education for your SOUL — training and initiation for the part of you no career development ever reaches.

This is for people who are high performing individuals who are looking for deeper answers to the important questions that are still unsatisfied.

This 5-day intensive won’t ask you to leave behind anything you’ve built. It will ask you to build on something much deeper. You!

Your Spirit and your work in the world - your caregiving, career, healing - were never meant to be kept separated. You feel fulfilled when you become Whole. Let me show you how ❤️ Comment SOUL CE and I will send you more info.

Beyond Ordinary — a 5-day Spiritual training and initiation retreat for the education of your Soul!

October 21–25, 2026 · Rochester, Michigan
You are invited to join me for this paradigm-shifting experience.

Here is what I want you to carry today, whether you’re reading this as a pet parent or as the veterinarian in the room:

Hope is not pretending everything is fine. Hope is the quiet, grounded knowledge that there is something you can do.

You don’t need every answer this week. You only need the next right step — and the belief that your choices still matter.

Because they do.

I wrote So Your Pet Has Cancer… Now What? for both hands in that exam room. For the pet parent who needs a steady guide through the overwhelm. And for the veterinarian who wants to walk beside families with more than protocols — with language and a way to hold the science and the heart at the same time.

Why? Because caring for a life through illness is never only about the disease. It’s about the beings living that journey…the hearts, the souls. The whole family. It’s about Love — the kind that softens what feels unbearable, quietly widens the room for what’s still possible and opens the door to potential and a deeper appreciation for the power we have to transform all our experiences in life through the way we choose to walk through them.

If these words found you at the right moment, the book is available to pre-order on Amazon now. No rush. It will be there when you’re ready. 🤍

What if the diagnosis you fear most could also open a door you never expected?

When we hear the word cancer, the tendency is to brace — to fight, to shield ourselves from what might come. But our animals are not asking us to armor up. They are asking us to Love more fully. And in that Love, quietly, we are remade.

So Your Pet Has Cancer… Now What? was written for the moment the ground shifts beneath you — when you’re frightened, overwhelmed, and unsure where to turn. It doesn’t ask you to choose between science and hope. Instead, it honors both, offering a grounded, compassionate path to support you through the journey — Body, Soul, and Spirit — and to remember that you are not powerless. There is always something you can do.

“The greatest gift our animal companions leave us is not only memories. It is the person we become because we loved them.”

📖 So Your Pet Has Cancer… Now What? is available August 25 from Golden Acorn Press.

"I just want my pet to have the best quality of life possible."

If you've ever said those words, this one's for you.

I'm honored to be presenting a webinar for the College of Integrative Veterinary Therapies Sept 9 on something close to my heart: caring for the whole being through every stage of the pet cancer journey — from prevention through treatment and beyond.

Here's the truth we don't talk about enough: quality of life isn't something that just happens to your pet. It's something you create — in the daily choices you make long before a diagnosis, and long after treatment ends.

And your own well-being? It's part of the healing environment you create for them. 🐾

Together we'll explore a whole-being framework — Body, Soul, and Spirit — grounded in real research, including:

🌿 Food as medicine — finding a balanced approach and focusing on what you can actually control
🕊️How your calm becomes their calm (yes, the science says so)
✨ Why tending your own spirit matters more than you think

And we won't just talk about it — we'll experience it together with a short practice you can carry home.

Let's make this journey the most meaningful one possible — for both of you.

📅 Save the date Sept 9, 7pm EST — link in comments.

And I have a free webinar leading up to it on Sept 5.
