How it all began
About Me
My journey with dogs has been one of deep transformation, emotionally and philosophically. I adopted my heart dog, Taylor, in 2013, and through him I learned that true love for our pets goes far beyond companionship. We must advocate for their health, happiness, and well-being. In 2021, I founded a holistic dog rescue from my home, which opened my eyes to how unprepared many owners were for a truly holistic approach. That realization, while humbling, became the turning point in my path.
When Taylor’s lab results in 2022 led my vet to recommend a raw diet, and later the same for my rescue dog, Toki, I began to understand that real healing begins with food. I saw firsthand how fresh, balanced nutrition transformed dogs’ lives, from my own to the last litter of rescue puppies I placed. After Taylor’s passing in 2023, I channeled my grief into education, completing certifications in food therapy, canine nutrition, herbalism, and raw feeding. My mission now is to share the knowledge I wish I’d had sooner, empowering others to make informed, holistic choices that honor the true health of their dogs.
I'm currently working with a small group meeting weekly to complete a class in food therapy!
Due to this, I only take a limited number of clients at a time so I can focus on meeting everyone's individual needs.
I truly love educating people on the ins and outs of food and all the hidden meanings behind each bite.
Starting The Toki Project
In early 2024, I founded The Toki Project—a program dedicated to providing a more foundational approach to dog health. My focus now is on helping dog parents understand the critical role of food and individualized nutrition, and how the emotional and physical health of their dogs stem from these essential elements.
Simply put, The Toki Project is a place where pet parents can come to understand their dogs from the inside out—from the food they eat to the emotional and physical care they require. Through all the highs and lows, I’ve learned that caring for dogs is a journey that evolves with each unique relationship. The Toki Project is my way of sharing the knowledge, experience, and compassion I’ve gained, hoping to make a positive impact on the lives of dogs everywhere.
My Mission
My mission is to educate dog owners on the critical importance of paying attention to the warning signs their dog's body is giving. Through personalized guidance, I teach owners the value of proper nutrition and intentional feeding, providing them with the knowledge to make informed decisions for their dog's health. I am committed to offering individualized solutions to address each dog’s unique needs, empowering owners to improve their dog's overall well-being through education and mindful care.
