Seeing the Whole Animal

At Divergent DVM, my mission is to support animal health by looking beyond isolated symptoms and understanding the whole patient — body, mind, environment, and lifestyle.

Every animal is an individual. Rather than focusing solely on disease labels, I work to identify the underlying patterns that influence health and performance. By restoring balance in the body, we can often improve comfort, movement, behavior, and overall well-being.

Holistic veterinary medicine recognizes that the body functions as an interconnected system. My goal is to help animals achieve better health through integrative, natural approaches that support the body's ability to heal and regulate itself.

What Holistic Veterinary Care Means

Treatment at Divergent DVM focuses on natural and integrative therapies including:

Acupuncture

Veterinary Spinal Manipulation (chiropractic)

Chinese herbal medicine

Food therapy and nutritional guidance

Homeopathy

Aromatherapy

Energy-based therapies

Myofascial and biomechanical assessment

These approaches are used to support the body’s natural physiology and address deeper imbalances that may contribute to chronic or complex health issues.

Working Together for Your Animal

Holistic care does not replace conventional veterinary medicine — it complements it.

Whenever appropriate, I work collaboratively with your animal’s primary veterinarian so your pet benefits from a comprehensive approach to care. Integrating different perspectives often leads to better long-term outcomes and improved quality of life.

Education & Advocacy

Education is a core part of my mission.

I am passionate about helping pet owners, veterinarians, and the public better understand holistic veterinary medicine. Through lectures, educational events, social media, and professional training, I aim to expand awareness of integrative approaches that can support animal health.
