Harriet
Client Service Representative
"The glue holding us all together"
Harriet grew up on a small farm in Tumalo, Oregon where her love for animals began. She participated in rabbit and dog 4-H where her passion for understanding animal behavior and wellness grew. Holistic healing, naturopathy, energy work, and nutrition has always been part of her life and her inspiration to integrate animals with a holistic approach grew when she noticed it’s impact on her own pets’ health. She is now participating in coursework for animal health and nutrition through CIVT to grow her depth and breadth of knowledge in the field for her own fur family and to help educate others.
Her many talents include keeping us sane and organized even on the craziest of days!
Motivation comes from working on things we care about. It also comes from working with people we care about.
Anika
Veterinary Assistant
B.A. Public Relations & Marketing
"The class clown"
Anika found the veterinary field by chance in 2018 when she moved back to the west coast after college graduation and working as a river guide in Pennsylvania. This quickly developed into a deep respect and interest for integrative medicine. Her favorite modality is acupuncture because “with animals there is no placebo effect, it either works or it doesn’t, and more often than not it works.”
She prides herself on navigating through life with lot’s of humor, hard work and a positive attitude. Her talents include cracking a joke whenever possible and showing zero self control when giving your pet treats!
