I graduated as a veterinarian from Murdoch University in Perth in 1999. I have experience working in emergency medicine and critical care, as well as general practice. However, I have always questioned why a pet develops a condition rather than simply providing a “bandaid” solution. 

My goal is to treat both the root cause of the problem and the symptoms it presents. To achieve this, I use a comprehensive treatment approach that includes nutritional medicine, acupuncture, and high-quality supplements. I collaborate with like-minded veterinarians and other alternative practitioners, such as physiotherapists, chiropractors, hydrotherapists, and massage therapists. 

I still value the benefits of Western medicine, s0 I am not strictly a holistic practitioner, I believe they can work best in conjunction with each other if needed; my priority is to minimise the need for medications that may have harmful side effects.

I operate out of Pet Deli Wellness Studio, which also supplies a range of high-quality, balanced pet food that I can tailor to meet your pet's needs, along with high-quality supplements. I want to emphasise that I do not receive any commission for recommending Pet Deli, as my main concern is your pet's welfare and health. 

Additionally, I create customised home diets and high quality supplements for pets with chronic diseases because tailored nutrition is extremely important—after all, "you are what you eat" is not just a saying. 

On days when I am not at Pet Deli Wellness Studio, I also see clients at my home clinic.
