Animal Aromatherapy
A Natural Approach to Supporting the Animals You Love
Our animals are more than pets. They're beloved members of our families, and we want to give them the very best care possible.
If you've experienced the benefits of essential oils in your own life, you may be wondering whether they can play a role in supporting your animal's well-being, too.
But animals aren't simply smaller versions of humans. Their physiology, sensitivities, and individual needs require a different approach.
That's where education and knowledgeable guidance can make a difference. Here, you'll discover how animal aromatherapy may complement your pet's overall wellness plan.
Meet Your Animal Aromatherapy Specialist
My journey into animal aromatherapy began with a very special Bouvier des Flandres named Allium, Alli for short.
When Alli developed a rare and serious fungal infection of her spine, I found myself navigating a complicated veterinary journey while exploring ways to support her overall well-being.
That experience deepened my interest in animal aromatherapy and reinforced something I believe strongly: conventional veterinary medicine and complementary wellness practices don't have to be competing approaches.
I pursued specialized education with veterinarian Dr. Janet Roark and earned my Level II Animal Aromatherapy certification.
Today, I combine that training with my personal experience as a devoted dog owner and my longstanding interest in essential oils to help other animal lovers better understand this specialized field. My goal isn't to replace your veterinarian. It's to help you make informed decisions about whether and how essential oils might fit into your animal's overall care.
Because the animals who give us so much deserve thoughtful, individualized care.
How I can help
Essential oils can be a wonderful addition to a wellness-focused lifestyle, but using them around animals requires knowledge, care, and an understanding of their unique needs.
My consultations are designed to give you the education and confidence to make thoughtful decisions about animal aromatherapy.
Essential Oil Education
Learn about essential oils, their properties, and the important differences between using them with humans and animals.
Safe and Responsible Use
Understand considerations such as species, age, individual sensitivities, exposure, and appropriate methods of use.
Animal Self-Selection
Discover how to introduce aromas in a way that allows your animal to express preferences, including choosing to move away. You'll learn how to observe and respect those responses.
Individualized Guidance
We'll discuss your animal's circumstances, your experience with essential oils, and how aromatherapy education may complement your existing veterinary wellness plan.
While my primary experience is with dogs, my certification includes education in aromatherapy for other animals as well (although I draw the line when it comes to working with snakes and other reptiles).

Our animals give us so much—unconditional love, companionship, loyalty, and more joy than we can possibly measure.
In return, they depend on us to make thoughtful decisions about their care.
Animal aromatherapy is one more opportunity to explore how we can support their well-being while respecting their individual needs and preferences.
