She has loved, cared for, ridden and trained horses for most of her life; horses are her passion. Before becoming a veterinarian, she gained experienced as a veterinary assistant, horse trainer, and farrier. During veterinary school, Dr. Hannah focused on equine sports medicine, lameness and advanced equine dentistry. After graduation from veterinary school, Dr. Hannah worked first as an associate
veterinarian, then in December of 2004, she started what was then known as Evergreen Holistic Veterinary Care - Equine based out of Monroe, WA. Dr. Hannah continued her studies of herbs and physical therapy and became certified in veterinary acupuncture in 2005 and chiropractic in 2006. Dr. Hannah discovered her gift of hands-on healing as she mastered these two modalities. Dr. Hannah strives to provide the best care possible for her patients and believes her unique holistic approach allows her to do so. Dr. Hannah has a solid foundation in sports medicine and lameness. This, along with her training in acupuncture, chiropractic, stretch exercises, massage techniques and other hands on healing modalities, allows Dr. Hannah to rehabilitate horses to their fullest potential. She excels in rehabilitating horses with lameness, neck and back injuries as well horses with pain related behavioral problems. While Dr. Hannah continues to offer farm calls, she has now added a rehabilitation center for haul-in appointments and short or long-term boarding with rehabilitation packages. Dr. Hannah believes in following holistic principles not only in her practice but also in her daily life. She feels that stewardship to animals, the environment, and to her community is a key element of holistic living. She has a driven, passionate desire to make a difference to all the animals in her care. Because of this passion and the need to give back, Dr. Hannah established a non-profit rescue rehabilitation fund with American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF) Cedarbrook Fund. She feels this is her way to give back and to be able to look back over the long years of her life and know that she made a difference to equines and made an impact in regards to the humane treatment of animals.
