Gut health isn’t “just” about food.
It’s the foundation of healing.
If your pet keeps flaring — even on a great diet and thoughtful supplements — you’re not doing anything wrong. You’re missing the framework.
We help pet parents uncover the true root causes behind chronic symptoms using integrative medicine that treats the whole animal, not just the issue.
Our bigger mission is to change how pets are healed by shifting the focus from symptom suppression to true, whole‑body healing.
I'm Dr. Katie - Holistic Veterinarian Gut Health Specialist
I know what it's like to spend sleepless nights worrying about a sick pet—because I've been there, too.
My journey began when my husband was diagnosed with an autoimmune gut health disease, and it reached a low point after losing my soul dog, Finn, to a brain tumor. But those struggles opened up a new, transformative path for me.
Today, I've empowered thousands of pet parents to regain their confidence and strength through a holistic health framework that's easy to implement from home. This approach addresses the root causes of gut health issues that have been frustrating to treat. I’ve guided them in helping their pets achieve optimal health and longevity, and that’s exactly what I’m committed to helping you do too.
Why? Because you deserve to be your pet's best advocate, equipped with holistic tools and strategies that even most veterinarians aren't taught. Let's help your pets thrive naturally.
Are you ready?

"This is more of an update for , but wanted to share with the group. We started with Dr. Katie back in January. Tucker had just been diagnosed with IBD and was not doing well. After months of food therapy, detoxification and supplementation, Tucker is finally back to acting and feeling like a normal 4 year old dog. We could not be more thrilled! It took quite a bit of time to transition him to 100% Viva Raw Rabbit Complete, but we finally got him there! His stool looks phenomenal, after months of runny, bloody diarrhea. His reflux is also much more controlled now. He’s also back to wanting to play and go places, whereas six months ago, all he wanted to do was sleep because he just didn’t feel well. We’ve been doing lots of exploring in Northern Michigan this summer and Tucker’s been there for all of it. We are so thankful to Dr. Katie for giving our boy his life back. ❤️🐶❤️"

"My favorite so far is Dr. Katie is always there to answer your questions and that the community is also there to help you out. For so long I've been trying to help three of my cats guts and get them strong enough to be able to try wet food. I appreciated so much that Dr. Katie told me what to start out with, especially since after the gut seminar I was overwhelmed and thinking I would never be able to help them. Now my babies are on the right track!"

"My two Aussies have benefited from Dr. Woodley's professionalism for the past two years. I highly recommend her for anyone who knows, or would like to learn the benefits of integrative medicine. I appreciate that Dr. Woodley provides healthier, alternative choices for optimizing my dogs wellness and longevity. Thanks, Dr. Woodley!"

"Our dog Finn has been suffering from loose stools and a recent diagnosis of EPI. He’s been pretty lethargic and quickly losing weight and muscle mass the last year. He also has had extremely high liver enzyme levels for an unknown cause. But I am happy to report that the last two weeks Finn has been significantly improving! He has had solid stools consistently, has gained two pounds and is back to playing with toys and other dogs again (and humping all his friends at the dog park)! His pannus in his eyes has receded quit a bit too. I didn’t realize how bad he must of been feeling. Looking forward to getting his microbiome test results and eventually retesting liver enzymes to see if they have gone down. Anyways…. Just feeling really hopefully over here! 🙌🏽"

"My cat developed asthma, was having daily scary attacks, and was prescribed steroids as the only means to help, from several Vets we saw. I know the negative effects of long time steroid use, so researched until I found Dr. Katie, who uses alternative natural options. She put my cat on a daily homeopathic herbal treatment. It has been 4 years on this treatment and he not only improved greatly, but has continued to maintain."

"Celebrating a win that Xena’s liver enzymes have dropped down to the 200s for the first time in over two years! She’s got a long road ahead with her other issues, but this was almost enough to make me tear up after the battle we’ve been on. A step in the right direction for our girl :)"
