I am a graduate of the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine and have also earned certification in animal acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine from the Chi Institute of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine in Reddick, Fl. I studied Reiki with master teacher Edward Fox while in veterinary school.

I practice Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine and other forms of holistic medicine because they can be powerful tools when Western medicine either does not have a solution, or has undesired effects. I also firmly believe in the idea of "Holistic” healing, that all medicine should encompass the whole being.

I share my home with my husband, and three cats. All my cats are treated with Chinese medicine for various ailments.
