As a pioneer in the field of veterinary holistic therapies, Dr. Schwartz has learned from animals themselves for over thirty years of her clinical practice. She returns to the Bay Area bringing holistic veterinary healing to cats, dogs and horses, and introduces the Heal•Learn Institute for educating YOU.

A 1978 graduate of Washington State University Veterinary School, Dr. Schwartz expanded her healing techniques to combine Traditional Chinese Medicine ~ acupuncture, acupressure, tuina massage and herbs ~ along with Classical Homeopathy, bio energetics and tuning fork resonance for balancing the whole animal.  Dr. Schwartz’s unique ability to synthesize holistic modalities using knowledge, skill and intuition has helped thousands of animals around the world, and empowered their humans to continue their care at home.

An educator for more than twenty years, Dr. Schwartz believes animal caregivers can be guided to use various holistic modalities for their own animal friends’ well being.
