![]() I became a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist in 2008 from the Chi University. After being in private veterinary medicine and surgical practice for 6 years, I was inspired to learn different modalities for patient care so I turned to integrated medicine. I lived a healthy lifestyle: I was a vegetarian, did not eat processed sugar, and rode my bicycle to school, yet felt I needed to do more. My holistic interest developed when I was faced with cancer while in veterinary school. This is an invaluable tool for animal health, especially since they cannot speak for themselves! During vet school, I was selected to work as one of the four students to be on call for the clinical pathology department where I learned to appreciate the importance of diagnostics. I moved back to Wisconsin and enrolled in the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine and graduated in 2001. It was then I realized I needed to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian. Prior to going to Vet School, I was a pharmaceutical sales representative in my hometown of Chicago. I also enjoy supporting owners by empowering them with appropriate techniques to help their pets at home including massage, rehabilitation exercises, tui-na and acupressure. Sharing my knowledge of these modalities with other veterinarians is one of my favorite things to do.Īs a veterinarian, my goal is to provide the most appropriate and helpful holistic treatment to my patients to facilitate their comfort, quality of life and longevity. I am currently on the faculty for the Veterinary Spinal Manipulative Therapy program at the Healing Oasis Wellness Center in Sturtevant, WI and a teaching assistant for the small animal acupuncture class at Chi University in Reddick, FL. My passion for acupuncture and spinal manipulation stretches further than my private practice. I find this combination of medicine incredibly rewarding because I can help many more animals suffering from chronic pain and disease. There were always animals that I wished I could do more for, especially concerning pain control.Īfter my first acupuncture class I so loved this direction of practice that I studied all of the modalities offered at Chi University and changed my focus to 100% TCVM, eventually adding spinal manipulation, massage and rehabilitation to my practice. I’m sorry that I had recommended it to people, and from never do that again.I became interested in acupuncture and holistic veterinary medicine during my 10 years of small animal practice at State College Veterinary Hospital. We will never ever take any of our Animals to this vet again. We spent $1200 to get our dogs teeth cleaned and I feel like it was a very traumatic abusive experience for him. One of them was a immune suppressant which could have caused him a lot of problems. It was three antifungal medication’s that he did not need. I’m grateful that I looked up the medication one of them has been taken off the market and are outlawed and allcountries and they also told us that they sent him home with some pain medicine for his gums that they did not. They also sent us home with $200 worth of useless medication for itchy skin which she does not have. They told us they didn’t have time to clean it off it was so hard and stuck to him. ![]() When we picked him up from his surgery, he had pooped himself and sat in it all day. We also had taken him there for sores that were on his feet, which the doctor told us, we’re fine but they were not and had to bring him back or medication a second time. We booked a teeth cleaning for him three weeks before and when we got there we were told that we were supposed to get bloodwork two weeks prior which they never told us about so they charged us triple the amount for the bloodwork since it was last minute. Took my Great Dane here and it was a horrible experience.
