Introducing Our New Staff Member - Steph

In this episode, Dr Barbara Wilson shares over five decades of veterinary experience and her passion for integrative medicine. We explore how combining traditional treatments with holistic approaches such as balanced nutrition, preventative therapies, herbal medicine, and owner education can transform outcomes for animals. Dr Wilson highlights why a team-based model, ongoing care beyond the clinic, and strong communication between vets and pet owners are essential to fill the gaps in modern veterinary practice. From nutrition and behaviour to collaboration and community support, this conversation reveals practical ways veterinarians and pet owners can create long-term wellbeing for animals. Whether you’re a practitioner, a student, or a dedicated pet parent, you’ll gain insights into how integrative veterinary medicine is shaping the future of animal care.

Aequus the greyhound has been by our side for years, and his story is a testament to the power of holistic, long-term veterinary care. If you’ve ever wondered what consistency, compassion, and integrative medicine can really do for a dog’s life, this quiet success story says it all.

Discover how animals communicate far beyond what we imagine. In this episode, animal communicator Anne Bourke shares heartwarming stories about telepathic connections, distance healing, spirit visits, and even how animals reincarnate and find their way back to us. Whether you’ve ever wondered about your pet’s behavior, felt their presence after passing, or are curious about animal souls, this conversation will open your eyes to a whole new world of understanding.
