Whole-animal wellness grounded in nutrition, naturopathy and energetics - for human guardians ready to take a considered, holistic approach to their animal’s health, and the bond they share.
Based on the Sunshine Coast, Qld, Australia. Working online with animals and their humans worldwide.

Animal health is multi-layered — shaped by nutrition, environment, emotional state, nervous system regulation, and energetic balance.

Rather than focusing on symptoms in isolation, I work from a whole-animal perspective that considers the interconnected nature of body, mind, and energy, and the context in which an animal is living.

As a qualified animal naturopath, pet nutritionist, and energy healer, I bring an integrated approach to animal wellbeing. My work weaves together natural therapies, tailored nutrition, and energetic modalities to support animals with complex health patterns, chronic concerns, and preventative care.

 

Each consultation is individual and considered. I develop personalised holistic wellbeing plans that may include nutritional strategies, natural remedies, and energetic balancing practices, informed by both traditional wisdom and contemporary, evidence-based understanding.

 

This work is suited to human guardians who want to engage thoughtfully with their animal’s health and take an active role in supporting long-term wellbeing.

Areas my work commonly address include:

  • Nutrition and dietary optimisation

  • Digestive, skin, and immune concerns

  • Behavioural patterns such as anxiety or stress

  • Emotional and energetic balance

The animals I work with

I most often work with animals living with chronic, recurring, or complex health patterns - particularly where multiple systems are involved. These may include digestive and gut imbalances, immune and inflammatory conditions, hormonal and metabolic concerns, skin and allergic presentations, behavioural and nervous system dysregulation, and degenerative or age-related changes.

In many cases, animals present with more than one overlapping issue, requiring a considered, whole-animal approach rather than isolated symptom management.

My work is informed by over a decade of experience and formal training in animal naturopathy, pet nutrition, and energy healing.

Over this time, I’ve worked with a wide range of animals - including cats, dogs, horses, poultry, and cattle - across preventative care, chronic health patterns, and complex wellbeing contexts.

This experience has shaped a way of working that recognises animals not in isolation, but as part of a wider living system that includes their human guardian, environment, routines, and shared history. Health is often influenced as much by relational and nervous system dynamics as it is by diet or physical pathology.

An important aspect of my work involves observing the energetic relationship between animals and their human guardians. Animals are highly sensitive beings and, in some cases, may respond to or carry emotional or energetic patterns that do not originate with them. Part of my role is to help identify where this energetic transfer may be occurring, and to bring awareness and responsibility to how these dynamics can influence an animal’s health or behaviour.

This work supports clearer energetic boundaries, allowing animals to release what does not belong to them and return to their own natural state of balance. It also invites the human guardian to take responsibility for their own energy in a way that is grounded, conscious, and sustainable - without the animal needing to compensate on their behalf.

Rather than applying a single framework, I draw on both traditional healing wisdom and contemporary understanding to meet each animal and animal–human partnership as individual, always with long-term wellbeing in mind.

"We've never seen her enjoy her meals so much"

We sought out Ruth's holistic health and nutritional support for our dog (2 year old Rottie girl), Nala's, recovery from a joint injury and recurrent ear yeast.

Not only has the diet plan and supplementation helped Nala recover and overcome her condition, but we've never seen her enjoy her meals so much (and my wife & I actually really enjoy the fortnightly wholefoods-based meal prep).

We've already recommended Ruth's services to a couple of our friends.

"She really knows her stuff."

Our experience working with Ruth was excellent. We cant speak highly enough of Ruth, she was very responsive, very knowledgeable, very professional and a pleasure to deal with. She really knows her stuff.

A gentle place to start

 

Everyday life exposes animals to more chemicals and toxins than many guardians realise - through food, water, grooming products, household cleaners, medications, and their environment.

Over time, this cumulative toxic load can influence digestion, immunity, skin, behaviour, and overall resilience.

The Low Tox Starter Kit for Pets offers five simple, realistic swaps you can make straight away to begin reducing this load - gently, sustainably, and with discernment.

"Ruth's blends and protocols are incredible and amazingly supportive for your furbabies."

My three beautiful furbabies have been on their herbal supplement protocol for the last 2 months and we have moved the needle dramatically on their health. Clearer eyes, fresh breath, clean teeth, soft silky coats, incredible behaviour, amazing clean elimination.

 

I’ve always been a huge advocate of herbal remedies for pets and I can not see this changing. Ruth’s blends and protocols are incredible and amazingly supportive for your furbabies.
