Welcome to Holistic Essence…

Your natural path to wellness for animals and their human companions

To best understand why we do what we do, one must first understand where we come from…     

        Let’s take a journey along a road to discovery.

When I first began Holistic Essence, I meditated on a business name  that sounded nice and carried deep, meaningful energy.  The name, Holistic Essence, which people would read, had to carry the message of what I believed about the work I offered.  It wasn’t for several years that I truly began to understand what that really meant. 

The Merriam-Webster definition of the word “holistic” is “…relating to or concerned with wholes or with complete systems rather than with the analysis of, treatment of, or dissection into parts.”  American Heritage reads, “Emphasizing the importance of the whole and the interdependence of its parts.  Concerned with wholes rather than analysis or separation into parts.”

“Essence” is described by Merriam-Webster as “the individual, real, or ultimate nature of a thing especially as opposed to its existence.” or “the most significant element, quality, or aspect of a thing or person.”  Almost more eloquently stated, American Heritage writes, “The intrinsic or indispensable properties that serve to characterize or identify something.  The most important ingredient; the crucial element.  The inherent, unchanging nature of a thing or class of things.”

I have often reflected at length as to what the combined energies of those two words really means.  Perhaps it holds a different significance to each of us.  For me, it shares the reminder that from the micro (smallest) to the macro (largest), the very nature of our existence resides in the divine Oneness of all things. 

At Holistic Essence, my goal is serve as a guide for you and your animal friends as you dance with the energies on your journey through life.  I will offer support in a way that is positive, beneficial, and uplifting for the whole.  Awaken to the balance within…
