Extending a Paw to the New Year
Happy New Year!!
Through the new year, the Essential Oil Revolution is committed to continue to bring you exceptional integrative medicine and aromatherapy experts to educate you on how to keep shifting in a positive, healthy, self-nourishing direction.
To start us off in 2024, we extend a paw out on how to optimize the health of your beloved pets. In this episode, we are joined by a world-renowned holistic vet, Dr. Katie Woodley, BVSc, GDVCHM, cVMA. She teaches us about natural ways to take care of our cats and dogs and all about how to use essential oils safely with them.
With all the scares and the controversies around using essential oils with animals, it is important to have trustworthy information from experts who actually have experience with their use. Thankfully, we have the amazing, brilliant, holistic vet, Dr. Woodley, on the show who uses holistic methods and essential oils with her patients. She is also a true pioneer dedicated to bridging the gap between conventional and natural veterinary medicine.
Armed with her love of animals and her incredible mind, compassion, passion, and a lot of grit, Dr. Katie, as she’s affectionately known by her audience and pet parents, is a sought-after international expert in pet health. This is due to her training and extensive expertise in pet nutrition, essential oils, Chinese medicine, and herbal medicine.
Dr. Katie Woodley’s goal is to ensure that pet parents know they have options to support their pets, whether through illness or maintaining optimal health through an integrative approach. She is living her mission through the mentorship and holistic pet guidance and support she provides to pet parents and pet professionals across the world. She also offers a variety of her educational and online programs with information to empower pet lovers world-wide.
