I didn't become a pet health coach because I love nutrition.
I became one because I lost my dog.
Jak Jak was my four-year-old Miniature Schnauzer.
He was healthy, playful, and the happiest little companion—until the night of his neutering surgery.
That night he had a seizure.
Everything changed.
He gained weight, even though his food and activity stayed the same.
He was constantly hungry and completely exhausted.
His limp came out of nowhere. The vet blamed a ligament issue. I tried everything—supplements, acupuncture, Chinese herbs. Nothing helped
Then I found Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) for pets, a test that evaluates mineral petterns in the body.
I ran one for him and followed a formula based on his results. And just like that—his energy came back. His limp disappeared.
But then the formula ran out.
We retested. While we waited for the next blend, his symptoms returned.
Before we could restart treatment, he jumped off a bed, sustained a spinal cord injury, and passed away.
Losing Jak Jak changed the course of my life.
I knew I wanted to help other pet parents. This is why I created Wagging Tails, Boundless Energy—to give pet parents clear answers, real tools, and the support I wish I’d had. I became a Holistic Pet Health Coach because I never wanted another pet parent to feel as helpless and alone as I did.

Jak Jak–the little dog who inspired Wagging Tails Boundless Energy.
