What I do for the team: 
  • Certified Canine Rehabilitation Veterinary Nurse
    ​I have been a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Veterinary Nurse for the past 5yrs+ and Veterinary Technician for the past 10yrs+. I have worked in general practice veterinary hospitals as well as at SAGE veterinary specialty hospitals in the surgery, ER, CCU, and rehabilitation departments. I am also certified in Health Touch For Animal energy healing. My other area of expertise is in massage/body-work/ manual therapy but more specifically myo-fascial release but I LOVE all things rehab! I am currently working on my small animal Traditional Chinese Medicine / Acupressure certification. I am excited to be working with this great team and adding my skills to the practice.
The Pack:
  • Matriarch: Brownie, 13yr old Chihuahua/ Italian Greyhound; my Foster Win - She is a fearless leader, who holds the keys to my heart. Brownie is sweet as sugar and tough as nails. 
  • The Pups: 6yr old GSP/Fox Hound Mix Quixote- The Sweetest boy ever! He is my odd man out; he is very much an introvert. Quixote is a delicate spirit but he can still hold his own!
  • Dulcenea (Dulce for short)- my stubborn, wild child. Dulce only does what she wants! Brownie has taken her under her wing. The Ladies patrol the property and make sure that no neighboring dogs or wildlife wander on to their territory. Dulce now also keeps her eye on the sky after a winged creature tried to take Brownie; we suspect it was an owl. 
What I do in my free time: 
  • In my free time, I enjoy walking around my forest with my pack and tending to my food/ pollinator garden. I am very much devoted to helping those in need; I have started seeing animals in their own home for manual therapy. It fills me with joy when I help enhance an animal's quality of life. My husband and I are also BIG on movies! We don't have cable or internet at home so movies are our JAM! I was blessed to find my husband, Jordan, at the ripe age of 17 and it has been a blast ever since. I very much married my BEST friend.
