Finding the Right Pet for You

Selecting the right animal (dog, cat, horse, or other pet) from the outset is very important. Whether you are purchasing an animal or adopting from a shelter, Katherine can help you find a healthy animal that is a good fit for your temperament, lifestyle, home environment, family and special needs.

Massage and Therapy

Katherine offers Reiki and massage for animals. This can be a special treat for your pet or in coordination with other therapy the animal is receiving. She also offers holistic healing and treatment with flower essences. While Katherine is not a veterinarian, she has worked with many vets and can often identify when health issues are contributing to behavioral problems.
