Allison is just the best. I can't wait to meet with her again. She was able to hold space for my grief, and truly made me feel supported and understood. She understood my concerns about my sweet dog's medical conditions and could speak about his condition with me. Allison is very clearly in-tune with not only animals but humans, on a soul-level as well as psychological. I really felt supported mind, body and soul. I can't imagine better support for the anticipatory grief I am moving through.

Allison was amazing! She was kind and empathetic. With her veterinary knowledge, she was able to really understand Mia's issues and how they impacted my life in such a meaningful way. Life without her has been difficult and Allison was able to help me work though the grief and pain. I would highly recommend working with Allison.
