Welcome!
My name is Nina,
a holistic behaviour and wellness mentor
using the human animal bond
to encourage you and your pet
to reach for higher levels
of health and happiness.
​
Combining my career
as a Registered Veterinary Technician,
my passion for animal behaviour and training,
as well as my desire to support the wellness
of all the toes and tails in my family,
has led me to discover
how the relationship we have with our pets
can inspire our goals of healthier, happier lives.
​
Amidst today’s busy and complex world,
bond-centered practices encourage you
to look deeper into your habits
and the habits of your pets.
Utilizing that bond empowers
you both to improve energy levels,
emotional balance,
and physical fitness together!
​

These are a few of my favourite things...

happy,
healthy,
excited to explore,
eager to love,
ready to live.

This is Lira.
She was a feral (wild) cat brought in for a spay/abort
by a local rescue.
I ended up fostering her.
She never left
until she passed away
February 2021

This is Thea.
Even though she passed away in October 2019,
she's still inspiring me.
I'm sure she's running across the clouds
full tilt, with a frisbee in her mouth!

Epicure
a canadian company that
creates healthy meal options is one of my go-to
tools to help nourish my family quickly!

Crystals are one of my favourite things.
Pretty to look at.
Helpful to heal with.
Natural energy sources
in an amazing array
of colours and shapes.

doTERRA essential oils
support the health and wellness of all the toes and tails in our house.
Educating about how to use these potent oils safely with our pets was the start of
Toes & Tails Wellness

Bathtime blends are a regular post you'll see on my social media feed.
Nothing like a hot bath,
oils, crystals, and
a good book
to inspire relaxation
![I have successfully done yoga for 15 day](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e30a7f_711fd7c384724dbfb324ceb43b65a9fa~mv2.jpg/v1/crop/x_148,y_148,w_344,h_344/fill/w_249,h_249,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/I%20have%20successfully%20done%20yoga%20for%2015%20day.jpg)
Yoga is one of my goto workouts.
Quiet moments,
grounding oils,
deep breathing,
and cat purrs to
encourage me.

Naptime and sunbeam snuggles with the twins, and the animals are also a favourite activity to enjoy.
Thankful to be a stay at home mom, so I can indulge these moments.
