About My Alternative Veterinary Practice

My passion is in alternative medicine and energy healing practices, and a mobile practice allows me to focus on this without the distractions of busy everyday Western medicine. I love to learn and will continue to add new modalities as I find them. If you’ve heard about something new, please ask me about it! If I don’t know about it yet, we can learn about it together. I want to help support the most balanced and evidence-based approach to your pets’ care.

Working Together with Pet Parents

I am happy to consult and coordinate with any general and specialty practice veterinarians with whom you are cooperating to provide the most excellent and comprehensive care for your loved ones! I see myself as part of your pet’s care team, and the best outcomes happen when we all work together.

My Life in Holly Springs: Outnumbered by Cats, Dogs, and Birds

On a personal note, I live in Holly Springs, North Carolina. My canine housemates include Tigger, a bounding tumbleweed of Mini-Aussiedoodle; Meki, a fierce 4 pounds of Chihuahua; and Dinah, a compact Pittie full of grandma energy. The resident felines are Harvey the Grouchy, Brick the Rebellious, and Tiny Cat the Neurotic. The household is supervised by Gary the African Grey standup comic, and Joncena the pugilistic Green-cheeked conure.

My Path to Becoming a House Call Veterinarian

I grew up primarily in Williamsburg, Virginia and spent every summer in the Chicago area at my grandmother’s house. I attended undergrad at the University of Maryland at College Park, in the Washington DC area, and I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology. I graduated from North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1998, and I received my Certificate for Veterinary Acupuncture from Chi University in 2011.

I’ve done yoga teacher trainings, silent meditation retreats, and CrossFit competitions. I’m a teacher at heart, and I love to lead group and individual fitness and meditation activities. Walking in the woods (with a Doodle of course) is my happy place.

I look forward to meeting you and your pets.
