About

At Animal Healing Arts, we strive to keep your animal friends happier, healthier and stronger longer. We help improve overall health, athletic ability and promote longevity through a wholistic natural approach.

We support your animal's body through a custom plan for your pet utilizing a healthy diet, nutritional supplements directed at your pet's specific needs and routine chiropractic care. For patients requiring additional support, we offer herbs, homeopathy and/or acupuncture. Our methods are most effective when used preventively and to optimize health and athletic ability starting with youngsters.

We offer classes to help you improve your ability to support your animal friend's wellness and longevity at home (cooking, acupressure and spinal care).

We do not offer emergency care, urgent care, hospitalization, surgery, x-rays, conventional diagnostics or pharmaceuticals. We do offer consultations to review laboratory results, discuss vaccine protocols appropriate for your pet, and help determine what tests might be appropriate to improve a wholistic understanding of their condition.

Lisa Pesch Marinho

Dr. Marinho had been practicing holistic wellness support with animals for over 26 years and is recognized as a leader in the field. Both of our doctors provide gentle effective treatments in a calming and caring atmosphere with a skillful hand that promotes a strong therapeutic effect with minimal stress to the patients.

"I enjoy seeing and supporting the special bond between humans and animals. I love that my patients pull their human friends into our office and often give me a wonderful thank you after their treatments (kisses, tail wagging smiles and happy hugs). I am always amazed and joyful to see how long and well animals can live :)

In my time away from the clinic, I enjoy surfing, hiking, teaching Gokhale Method, playing didjeridoo and singing.

I look forward to meeting you and your animal friends!"
