The Spark That Ignited My Business

Every entrepreneur has a defining moment when they realize it’s time to start something of their own. For me, that moment came after years of working with traditional vets and not getting answers and results.  I had ideas—big ideas—but no real way to bring them to life until I found Dr. Ruth Roberts DVM.  She found gaps in the world of traditional pet care and offered something truly unique.

After seeing firsthand the struggles that pet parents faced and realizing that existing traditional solutions weren’t quite meeting their needs, I knew there was an opportunity to do better. Struggles with my dog’s health played a huge role in this realization. Through their health journeys, I discovered the power of holistic pet care and how it could improve their well-being. I spent years researching, learning, and refining my vision, and that’s when my business was born.

Overcoming the Fear of Starting

One of the biggest hurdles in launching a business is overcoming self-doubt and fear of failure. There were moments when I questioned whether I was making the right decision—whether people would even care about my services. But I reminded myself that every successful business started with someone taking a risk.

To ease the transition, I surrounded myself with mentors, sought advice from experienced holistic pet experts, and absorbed as much knowledge as possible. I learned that failing is part of the process, and what matters most is persistence and adaptability.

What My Business Stands For

More than just making a profit, my business is built on values that matter to me: quality, integrity, and pet parent satisfaction. I wanted to create something that not only meets a need but also positively impacts people’s lives and their pets. Whether it’s through providing exceptional products, offering expert holistic pet care services, or fostering a sense of community, I want my business to stand for something meaningful.

Another key component is innovation. I didn’t just want to replicate what was already out there—I wanted to do things differently. By listening to pet owners, understanding their challenges, and continuously evolving, I aim to bring fresh solutions to the table.

Looking Ahead

Becoming a holistic pet coach is just the beginning of an exciting journey. As I take my first steps, I am committed to learning, growing, and adapting to the ever-changing landscape. My goal is to not only achieve success but also to inspire others who are contemplating a similar path.

For anyone who has ever dreamed of following their passion, my advice is this: start where you are, use what you have, and never stop believing in your vision. The road won’t always be easy, but the rewards—both personal and professional—are worth every challenge.

I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me, and I hope you’ll be part of it. If you’d like to learn more about my holistic pet coaching, stay tuned for updates, and let’s grow together!
