Your Pet's Healing Journey Begins in the Mud

Like the lotus rooted in darkness, chronic symptoms aren't the end of the story—they're the fertile ground where transformation begins. Through nervous system co-regulation, you and your pet rise together into whole-family wellness.

Free Root Cause Clarity Session for Pets with Chronic Health Issues

You've Tried Everything. Nothing Creates Lasting Change.

You've tried it all. Multiple vet visits, diet changes, supplements, medications. But the infections keep coming back. The anxiety persists. The digestive issues flare. You're exhausted, overwhelmed, and starting to believe "this is just how it is."

What if it's not?

What if your pet's chronic symptoms are rooted in nervous system dysregulation—and what if your nervous system is the key to their healing?

I'm Bria, RVT, and I help families like yours rise from chronic struggle into sustainable wellness using the Rising Wellness Philosophy: a holistic, root-cause approach that addresses the connection between your nervous system and your pet's.

Because you don't heal in isolation. You rise together.

Why Chronic Symptoms Keep Coming Back

After spending a decade inside conventional veterinary clinics, here's what most vets aren’t telling you: Your nervous system and your pet's are physiologically connected. Your stress becomes their stress. Your regulation becomes their calm.

Chronic symptoms aren't random. They're often your pet's body responding to chronic nervous system stress. When the nervous system is stuck in fight-or-flight, inflammation becomes chronic. That's why the medications work temporarily but the symptoms keep coming back—you're treating the inflammation but not what's causing it. When the cause is rooted in nervous system dysregulation, so is the solution.

The Problem

Conventional care treats your pet in isolation—as if their symptoms exist in a vacuum. But research shows up to 90% of chronic diseases in mammals are linked to nervous system dysregulation and the chronic inflammation it creates.

The Connection

When you're in chronic stress, your pet's nervous system syncs to yours through co-regulation. Your cortisol affects theirs. Your heart rate variability affects theirs. This isn't metaphysical—it's biology.

The Solution

Root-cause healing addresses the nervous system connection between you and your pet. When you regulate, they can too. When you address inflammation at its source (chronic stress), symptoms resolve—permanently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I have to stop seeing my regular vet?

A: Absolutely not. I'm not a veterinarian—I'm a Registered Veterinary Technician specializing in holistic, root-cause care. I complement your vet's work, not replace it. Many of my clients continue seeing their conventional vet for diagnostics and acute care while working with me for chronic issues and prevention.

Q: Is this "alternative medicine" or science-based?

A: It's both—and that's the point. My approach is grounded in published research on nervous system regulation, immunology, and chronic inflammation. But I also incorporate holistic modalities that conventional medicine overlooks. You get the best of both worlds: evidence-based protocols delivered with whole-family understanding.

Q: What if my pet needs medications?

A: I never tell clients to stop necessary medications. If your pet is on antibiotics, anxiety meds, or other prescriptions, we work alongside those while addressing root causes. Many clients are able to reduce or eliminate medications over time as symptoms resolve—but that's always done in coordination with your vet.

Q: How is this different from just changing my pet's diet?

A: Nutrition is ONE piece of the ecosystem—but it's not the only piece. We address nervous system dysregulation (yours and your pet's), environmental stressors, chronic inflammation mechanisms, co-regulation practices, trauma history, and more. Diet alone can't resolve chronic symptoms if the nervous system is stuck in fight-or-flight.

Q: What if I don't have time for major lifestyle changes?

A: I get it—you're already overwhelmed. That's why we implement changes in phases, starting with 2-3 simple actions. You're not overhauling your entire life in Week 1. We build sustainable habits gradually, and I'm there to troubleshoot when life gets chaotic.

Q: Will this work for cats? Small dogs? Senior pets?

A: Yes! The Rising Wellness Philosophy applies to all mammals because nervous system dysregulation and chronic inflammation work the same way across species. I've worked with dogs, cats, senior pets, puppies/kittens, and everything in between. Your protocol will be customized to your pet's species, age, size, and specific needs.

Q: What's the time commitment?

A: During the 10-week program: One 30-60 minute call per week, daily implementation of protocol (15-30 min/day), and Voxer check-ins as needed. After the program: Whatever ongoing practice you choose—some families maintain on 10 min/day, others continue with membership for support.

Q: What if I start the program and it's not working?

A: We troubleshoot together. Sometimes protocols need adjustment. Sometimes implementation needs modification. Sometimes the timeline needs to shift. I'm with you every step, and we pivot as needed. Healing isn't linear—and I don't expect it to be.

Q: Can I do this if my pet has multiple chronic conditions?

A: Yes—actually, that's common. Most pets I work with have multiple overlapping issues (infections + anxiety + digestive + skin). That's because they're all stemming from the same root cause: chronic nervous system dysregulation and inflammation. Addressing the root often resolves multiple symptoms simultaneously.

Q: What's the Continue Rising membership, and do I need it?

A: The Continue Rising membership is a community membership offered to pet parents who complete the Rooted to Rising program.

After Week 10, you'll have the tools, the understanding, and the confidence to sustain your pet's wellness. Some families choose to rise solo from there—and they do beautifully. Others want ongoing support—not because they need it to survive, but because rising together, with community, with seasonal adjustments, with that accountability, just makes the journey richer.

That's what the Continue Rising membership is for.

So no, you don’t need it, but you’ll want it!

Q: What if I can't afford the full payment upfront?

A: I offer a 3-payment plan ($550/month for 3 months). If that's still prohibitive, book a Clarity Call and let's talk—I occasionally offer sliding scale spots for families in genuine financial hardship but who are truly committed to the work.

Q: How do I know if this will work for my pet specifically?

A: You don't—and I can't guarantee results because every pet, every family, every ecosystem is different. What I CAN tell you: the families who fully implement the protocols see significant improvement in 80%+ of cases. The ones who don't improve usually aren't implementing consistently (life got chaotic, they couldn't prioritize it, etc.). That's why we start with a Clarity Call—so I can assess whether I truly think I can help before you invest.

I’m Bria, RVT - The Holisticnician

After a decade of work as a conventional veterinary technician, I was tired of watching the same pets and their parents struggling to cure chronic health issues - ear and skin infections, GI upset, anxiety. I left clinical practice after I found a healing way forward for these chronic cases. Now as a holistic consultant, I help those pets (and their people) by combining my knowledge from clinical experience with scientific research and nature’s wisdom to help pets and their people thrive!

My passion lies in strengthening the human-animal bond with simple, science-backed ways to help reduce allostatic load and support whole-body healing.
