Let's help your dog and cat live their best life.

Home visit consultations

Hands-on guidance for your pet’s nutrition and health coaching needs. In person consultations at your home allow a complete physical examination.

Feeding your pet a fresh food diet is one of the most impactful ways to support their long-term health and happiness.

Fresh, minimally processed meals made with real, whole ingredients deliver higher quality protein, natural vitamins, and essential nutrients that are easier for pets to digest and absorb. Unlike heavily processed kibble, fresh food is free from artificial preservatives and fillers, which can contribute to allergies, digestive issues, and low energy over time.

Pet owners often notice improvements in their pet’s coat, energy levels, digestion, and even mood after switching to fresh food—because when pets eat better, they feel better. Choosing fresh food is a simple, loving way to nourish your pet the way nature intended.

About me...

I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals of all kinds (cattle, sheep, chickens, dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs) which shaped my deep respect for animals and their individual needs from an early age. That connection led me to pursue veterinary medicine, graduating with first class honours, before working in small animal general practice and after-hours emergency care across Australia, England, and Scotland. During my time in the UK, I also completed further studies in feline practice, deepening my understanding of cats and their unique health requirements.

Since returning to Australia, I have worked in both rural and city small animal practices and have become increasingly aware of the rising incidence of chronic health conditions in our dogs and cats. This awareness was further deepened through my own personal health journey, where I was able to heal chronic health conditions through a targeted dietary and supplement based approach through the protocols of Anthony William. Experiencing first hand the impact that nutrition and thoughtful support can have on long term well- being, reinforced my belief that animals deserve the same level of individualised, holistic care.

Alongside this, I have observed a strong shift in how pet parents are choosing to feed their animals, with many seeking more natural, minimally processed options. While fresh feeding is often discouraged in general practice due to concerns around nutritional balance, further study in Veterinary Natural Nutrition and herbal supplementation, has enabled me to confidently support and empower owners to prepare fresh, raw or cooked diets that are truly balanced, safe, and tailored to their pet’s unique needs - with the goal of improving health, resilience, and quality of life.

Joanna has been an absolute God send!!! She has walked with us since the first day, messaging and supporting us. We live in two separate countries with significant time differences, though it may seem that would be a challenge, it wasn't. The main and most important thing we feel we would like to share, is how amazing Joanna has been every step of the way!!! We will be forever grateful to Joanna for her wisdom, knowledge and compassion.

Working with Joanna literally saved our cats life. He had a hole in his eye. The vet said the eye would need to be removed. We couldn't afford that and were looking to put him down. By God's grace Joanna came in and advised us the eye could heal. We made diet changes and started a protocol for the eye. With time, lots of reassurance and encouragement from Joanna it did heal. He is now unaffected by the eye. He is happy and healthy. I couldn't have done this without her. So grateful!
