Dog and Cat - Diet and Nutrition Consultant - Nationwide

Verified Member since Mar 2025 Verified checkmark

Are you looking for a dedicated partner to guide you in transitioning your cat or dog to fresh, wholesome nutrition? As a Nutritionist and Holistic Pet Health Coach, I specialize in teaching pet parents how to home-cook or create balanced raw meals, while also supporting chronic illness and senior care through nutrition.

Beyond nutrition, I am also an Animal Communicator and Energy Healer, offering a deeper understanding of your pet’s well-being--emotionally, physically, and energetically. By combining species-appropriate nutrition, holistic wellness practices, and intuitive insights, I help pet parents create personalized health plans that support longevity, vitality, and a strong human-animal bond.

My mission is to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to feed your pet the way nature intended, whether you're making the switch from kibble, dealing with food sensitivities, or supporting a pet with health challenges. By focusing on functional foods, species-appropriate nutrition, and holistic wellness, we can help improve digestion, reduce inflammation, support longevity, and enhance overall well-being.

With years of experience in feline and canine nutrition, I’ve worked with countless pet parents navigating allergies, gut health, arthritis, kidney disease, IBD, and more. Through personalized guidance, I’ll show you how to build nutritionally complete fresh meals that fit your pet’s needs, whether raw, gently cooked, or a hybrid approach.

A strong foundation of whole foods, high-quality supplements, and toxin reduction can make all the difference in your pet’s health and happiness. Let's work together to create a plan that supports their thriving, vibrant life, at every stage!
