Over the years I found that traditional veterinary practice did not always improve the patients to my satisfaction, leading me further afield to explore acupuncture and chiropractic practice. Graduating as a veterinary surgeon from the Justus Liebig University in Giessen, Germany, I worked exclusively on night duties looking after the inpatients, particularly the intensive care stable, involving both post surgical care as well as conservative treatment. I gained broad experience in general equine practice where my caseload was mostly first opinion ambulatory work.
In I started the pathway of my holistic journey and soon opened my own practice. This includes an understanding of the physical well-being, diet, environment, emotional stresses, and social behaviour. Holistic medicine is gentle, minimally-invasive, and aims to treat the root cause of the imbalances and not just the symptoms.
It improves quality of life through taking in account all the individual needs that allow for self healing and strengthen the body to its best. Holistic treatment and recommendations are based on a comprehensive physical examination and history of your animal.
Your pet will receive acupuncture, herbal medicine food therapy and exercise recommendation where needed. To me it is really important that I cater for the individual needs and pattern and include all aspects of the patients wellbeing.
It will give them a longer and happier life. The purpose of acupuncture is to resolve and relieve these imbalances and energy obstructions, and thus effect healing. No distinction is drawn between physical and psychological conditions, rather diagnosis is based on both components as a whole.
