Client Education

One of our primary goals at VPCHC is to provide clients with tools to allow them to participate in improving the health of their pet.  In addition to private consultations, we will be offering various seminars starting in Fall 2008 to help educate our clients on at-home treatments.  Seminars will include: nutrition, food therapy, acupressure, massage, TTouch, Reiki and many more.  Our hope is that our clients can “Pass it Forward” to others so more can benefit from this work.

Featuring Artistry of
