🧬 Your cat’s hair holds the secrets to their health.
If your cat still struggles with gut issues, itching, or low energy — even after diet changes and supplements — it’s time to look deeper.
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) reveals what blood tests can’t: your cat’s stress patterns, detox capacity, and mineral imbalances that directly affect digestion, skin, and immune health.
In this episode, I’m sharing how HTMA testing helps you:
🐾 Identify the root cause behind chronic symptoms
🐾 See how stress and toxins are impacting your pet’s body
🐾 Create a customized nutrition and detox plan that actually works
✨ Stop guessing and start understanding what your cat’s body is really asking for.
Because true healing starts when you see the whole picture — inside and out. 💚

🐾 Why sudden food changes can trigger gut flare-ups

💚 Healing takes time — and that’s okay.
When your cat is struggling with gut or skin issues, it’s easy to want quick results. But true healing is not linear. There will be ups and downs, flare-ups and breakthroughs — and every step matters.
In this podcast episode, I’m sharing how to shift from frustration to trust in your cat’s healing journey, and how to build a plan that actually works long-term by focusing on root causes — not quick fixes.
✨ You’ll learn:
🐾 Why healing takes time and what progress really looks like
🐾 How to support your cat through flare-ups with confidence
🐾 The key mindset shift that helps you stay grounded through it all
You don’t have to go through this alone — your pet’s healing journey is worth every moment of patience. 💚

🎙️ New Podcast Episode Drop!
If you’ve ever felt pressured to find a quick fix for your cat’s health — this episode is for you. 👇
So many pet parents are told to just switch the food, add a supplement, or use a new medication… but real healing doesn’t come from quick fixes. It comes from understanding the root cause of your cat’s gut and immune health challenges and creating a holistic plan that lasts.
🐾 In this episode, I’m diving into:
✨ Why quick fixes often backfire
✨ The hidden root causes behind chronic gut & skin issues
✨ How to build your cat’s long-term vitality naturally
🎙️ Your Cat’s Gut Might Be the Missing Link to Their Health
Did you know up to 80% of your cat’s immune system lives in their gut? 🤯
If your cat has chronic vomiting, diarrhea, skin flare-ups, or anxiety… their microbiome could be out of balance.
In this podcast episode, I break down how to test your cat’s gut health effectively — what the results really mean and how to use them to create a lasting healing plan. 💪
I also share how I use stool and microbiome testing inside my Better Gut Health Blueprint Program to uncover the root cause of gut and skin problems—so you can stop guessing and finally see your pet thrive.
Life’s not always easy but I have certainty I’m right where I need to be and have everything that I need. ❤️

Who are your supporters?
These boys are always with me in the background, supporting me.
Some days are longer and when I turn around from my desk, there they are. And my heart just fills with love.
Just wanted to share a little of the background since it’s so important and literally seeing my fur babies makes my heart refill with energy.
Let me know in the comments how your kiddos (furry and non-furry) support you!

These last three weeks have been A LOT.
From traveling to the East coast for the annual AHVMA conference and speaking to coming home for a few days to continue normal work to then leaving again for a whole week back to the East coast to meet with amazing people that are committed to changing this world for the overall good.
I have not slept much but rallied for a two day Back to School for Doctors education event this weekend since it’s been so insightful in previous years. And it did not disappoint! By the way, everyone should tap into the power of Kava to help calm anxiety!!!
I’m so blessed for being surrounded by amazing people who want to learn more so we can do better in this world. Whether it’s in healthcare or just showing up better for your family, it’s inspiring and life giving to experience.
This world has a lot of heavy energy right now, but take some peace in knowing that connecting with your people, standing in love and connecting with your heart and being courageous is needed more than ever.
I’m ready for this next level and sharing the truths in pet and human healthcare with you so we can all do better for ourselves and our pets.
It’ll never get easier but it’s more important now than ever to stand up for what you believe in.
If you’re ready for a new path of healthcare going forward, drop a ❤️ in the comments.
We can do this together! 💪🏻

I didn’t take any photos of all my amazing colleagues and friends from the incredible conference because I was enjoying just being present, but I did manifest a super sweet black kitty that greeted me on my walk every day and night back to the Airbnb and convention center named Sam.
I’m not going to lie- it was a highlight of my time away! ❤️
Anyone else get way too excited to manifest kitties on your trip?
Also, I think it’s time to recognize I was a witch in my past life with all these black kitties! 🤷🏻♀️🤣🧙♀️

Do you have a dog that has a crusty nose?
The skin on the surface of a dog's nose contains a protein called Keratin.
Sometimes, Keratin can grow too quickly, causing the dog's nose to become dry and crusty.
Also, it can indicate an internal health problem.
If left untreated, it can cause significant discomfort.
In the more severe cases, sores and a sizeable crusty growth will appear on the dog's nose.
But don't worry, there's a lot you can do to help them heal.
Here are a few things you can try to help their nose return back to that beautiful, black shiny boop:
👉Put some vitamin E oil on the affected skin 1-2 x a day or you can use wheat germ oil which is naturally rich in vitamin E. Standard Process Wheat Germ Oil works great for this.
👉Try Standard Process Canine Dermal Support: https://thenaturalpetdoctor.standardprocess.com/products/canine-dermal-support
Canine Dermal Support is a nutritional supplement formulated with ingredients known as functional foods. These are foods that have been shown to benefit various organs and tissues in the body.
The ingredients in Canine Dermal Support are a combination of plant and animal tissues, and provide nutritional support to key organs and glands like the liver, small intestine and adrenal glands, as well as the immune system. Support of these and other tissues can be beneficial in the management of a pruritic patient.
👉Add in Standard Process Black Currant Seed Oil.
Black Current Seed Oil is an organic source of gamma linolenic acid (GLA). It is a better source than Evening Primrose Oil.
It can be used for inflammatory situations and dry skin. Linolenic acid is convened to GLA in the healthy liver. In certain cases in which the skin is dry, the body is not converting essential fatty acids into a form that the sebaceous glands can utilize.
Dosage: Large Dogs: 3 capsules per day
Medium Dogs: 2 capsules per day
Small Dogs and Cats: 1 capsule per day
These are just 3 easy suggestions to try for your pup. You can get your Standard Process supplements here: https://bit.ly/Standard-Process-Supplements

But it's a prescription food that's meant to treat the disease. So why would you be worried that it's inhibiting healing?
I'm going to let you in on some information I didn't know when I went through veterinary school.
Your pet has zero requirements for carbohydrates.
So if you're feeding a kibble based diet, that's a high carb diet.
Also, did you know many prescription canned foods contain sugar and even carrageenan which is a known GI irritant?
Then there's the increased amounts of glyphosate (yes, Roundup) that's killing your pet's microbiome, and advanced glycation end products and heterocyclic amines that are being produced from the high heat processing.
And if we really want to get into quality. It's important to ask your pet food company if any rendered products are being used.
If you're not sure what any of this and you're finding yourself on the merry go round of hell going back and forth to the vet clinic for the same problem, spending a ton of money and getting nowhere, it's time to find out how you can help your pets.

My Story
I am a small animal veterinarian who developed a passion for natural medicine while I was living in New Zealand. My vet career was lucky enough to begin in the beautiful country of New Zealand. I was able to see how living off the land by growing our own vegetables and raising our own animals was the way to live the healthiest versions of ourselves. My pets were lucky to have lots of open space to run around in, and we were always at the beach or the river.
When we moved back to the States five years ago, my husband unfortunately developed an autoimmune disease. As we researched natural medicine options for him to avoid the horrible side effects of the treatment options his doctors were providing him, I realized that I was doing a disservice to my animal patients by not offering these holistic options to them. I began down the integrative medicine route, and I have never been happier. Through nutrition, acupuncture, herbal medicine, essential oils, and supplements, every animal can achieve optimal health or feel their best even when they have a chronic illness or disease like cancer. I currently have my certification in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, and I am continuously learning about the other natural modalities and growing my knowledge base every day!
I started this business to provide pet owners with more resources for natural medicine advice and care, because we need to increase awareness of how amazing natural medicine truly is! My mission is to ensure that all pet parents have access to herbal medicine, supplementation and nutritional advice throughout their pet's lifetime. One of my greatest joys is the opportunity to collaborate with both pet parents and other veterinary professionals to ensure access to all available integrative options for pet health care.
I offer house consultations in the Northern Colorado area for acupuncture for dogs and cats, herbal medicine consultations and nutritional plans that work for you and your beloved dogs and cats. If you’re not sure how integrating holistic medicine looks for your pets, give us a call to find out how we can partner together today!
