About Amalia

“When I look into the eyes of an animal
I do not see an animal. I see a living being.

I see a friend. I feel a soul.”

~Anthony Douglas Williams

Hello, I’m a Chinese medicine practitioner and holistic healer devoted to nurturing the sacred bond between humans and animals. My path weaves together Eastern healing traditions and Western wellness approaches to create a practice rooted in mutual care, connection, and respect. PAWS to Heal Together was born from the belief that when our relationships with animals flourish, so does the wellbeing of our shared planet.

The Heart Behind PAWS to Health Together

As a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, massage therapist, and somatic guide with over two decades of experience in holistic health, I support both humans and animals—honoring the deep, healing connection we share across species. My work is rooted in the principle of co-regulation, the powerful truth that all nervous systems influence one another. This cross-species resonance forms the heart of my practice and reflects the One Health philosophy at the core of my work.

Whether I’m working with people, animals, or people alongside their beloved animal companions, I bring a grounded, heart-centered presence. My methods weave together science and intuitive wisdom to offer practical, accessible tools for nervous system regulation, emotional balance, and mutual wellbeing.

I began my journey in human wellness over 20 years ago—with nutrition, personal training, massage, and yoga as my entry points. Twelve years ago, I earned my Master’s in Traditional Chinese Medicine and became a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, deepening my commitment to whole-person care.

A lifelong animal lover, it has always been my dream to extend this healing work to animals. That dream began to take form five years ago through teaching animal massage and acupressure. Today, I’m completing advanced training in animal acupuncture and cold laser therapy—deepening my commitment to offering integrative, holistic care for animals in need.

To empower animal caregivers with hands-on techniques, science-backed education, and somatic tools that deepen the human-animal bond, support emotional and physical healing, and foster holistic wellbeing—cultivating greater balance and more resilient, connected relationships across species.

02 My Promise

I commit to sharing teachings grounded in science-informed and tradition-based methods, shaped by years of authentic experience and deep respect for all beings. Each lesson honors your unique bond with your animal companions and supports both emotional and physical healing—empowering lasting wellbeing and connection across species.
