Hi! I am April, your PetCoach! I am a C.P.N, (Certified Pet Nutritionist), as well as a P.M.H., (Pet Master Herbalist). I also hold an A.S. degree in science in the medical field (I begin my BS of science program in spring of 2022), and I have been continually studying pet health, nutrition, and holistic medicine since 2010. I have been a life-long animal lover, as well as health enthusiast, and have never gone a day in my life without being owned by dogs and cats. I have had experience with a wide-range of breeds including, GSP, Golden Retriever, Standard Poodle, Chihuahua, Terriers, Maine Coon cats, domestic cats, as well as Sphynx & Bambino Cats.
I have gained extensive knowledge through my hands-on experience, as a pet caregiver and a professional cattery owner, as well as independent and professional studies. I have expanded my knowledge to understand the best nutritional practices, best use of vaccinations, nutritional supplements, pharmaceutical medications, herbal therapies, and behavioral modifications.
My wide-range of knowledge also comes from a place of deep struggle with my own personal health challenges. I live with a rare genetic life-threatening condition called mitochondrial disease, which leaves me with chronic neuropathy, muscle weakness, primary immunodeficiency, gastrointestinal struggles, cardiac dysfunction, connective tissue dysfunction and chronic pain. There has been many challenges both physically and emotionally for me as my condition progresses and l continue to loose physical abilities, and the huge loss of my previous medical profession. However, I am determined to move forward with my life and choosing to live with passion and purpose and use all my hard-earned knowledge to help others through teaching how to better care for our pets.
I strongly believe in using natural modalities whenever possible to reverse current health challenges and return the body to a natural state of homeostasis. However, I believe a balance and melding between natural medicine and conventional medicine is best. Choosing to ignore an entire framework of medicine either natural or conventional in my opinion, is not a practice based in common sense but stubbornness; and only hurts people and animals who could benefit.
Through my holistic pet health & behavior consults, I help pet parents by guiding them to make simple, easy, affordable, but effective changes through nutrition, supplements, herbal medicines, conventional medicine recommendations, and behavior modifications to produce lasting health results for their beloved pets.
