My name is Kari Kohler Bailey.  Animals have always been my closest friends. Growing up on a small dairy farm, I spent every day with our family dog, our barn cats and made it my personal goal to name every cow we owned. My love for animals lead me to wanting to understand better how to care for them. I started working at a mixed animal practice as a kennel assistant at 15 years old. I grew up in that practice all through high school, undergraduate, during veterinary school and into my internship when I worked as a veterinarian. I then moved on for the next 13 years as a large animal veterinarian.

As I became a mother, I realized there was so much more in this world of healing than just modern medicine.  Being a mother led me on a path of self discovery that has opened my eyes to endless possibilities in the medicine world.  It has pushed on who I am, who I want to be and what I offer, time and time again. My children have renewed in me what I knew as a child, that our animals play special roles in our lives and deserve more paths to healing than the traditional methods.

My path has been a constant changing flow of relearning our experience with animals.  I have continued to learn about holistic health, homeopathy, herbal formulas, Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, reiki, and connecting and communicating with animals of all kinds.  This process has been one of my own deep healing, learning and redirecting my goals and purpose in life. Following what is truly calling me every step of the way. I look forward to what continues to unfold as I continue to expand my offerings.
