About me

I first became interested in learning about natural health for animals when one of my dogs - Chloe - was diagnosed with hip damage at around eight months old, and underwent hip surgery a few years later.

I didn't want to rely on drugs to manage her pain for the rest of her life, so tried to find anyone who could help - chiropractor, physio, massage therapist and so on. I wasn't able to find anyone who worked for us, so decided to learn how to do it myself.

Chloe is now 16 years old and still going strong.
