She's here to share how her powerful journey, insights, and practical tips for living holistically alongside our four legged champions. Welcome to the show, Lisa. I'm so excited to have you here. Thank you so much. I have been so excited about doing this. I'm so excited to be here as well. Thank you. Your journey is both inspiring and eye-opening, and I know our listeners are going to gain so much from your wisdom. I'm very excited to share. Yeah. So your journey into holistic, high vibrational living started with a very personal and heartbreaking experience. Can you share what happened with Choi and Thule and how that shaped your mission today? I would absolutely love to. I had a male chow we were inseparable and I moved to California and I started noticing. all sorts of health issues, one after another, and all I kept being told was that it was allergies after allergies and back to the vet and his hair on his face. and his nose started disappearing in his whole body and he was inflamed and nobody could give me an answer. Finally, I went to a specialist and all they could give me was that he was allergic to the environment. I didn't know what to do, so I'd listened to what they told me we went to a vet school and he became, a Guinea pig for whatever they pumped him full of. And I didn't realize what was going on. And then one day I was walking down the street and I found this pet store called Pets Naturally. And we went in she started explaining to me. What I had been doing in the home, I didn't realize could be causing these problems. The environment in which I was giving him the food that he was eating, nobody else said anything about it and nothing was working. So I listened and I started slowly changing things out. I started looking at the food and what type of food he was eating and. What type of, supplements and I started taking him off the medicine and we started doing a cleanse on his body and he started getting better. I was so excited. His hair grew back too. His hair grew back. It still had some scabs in certain places because it had been so bad. Scab on top of scab. On top of scab, you probably thought you were torturing that dog. and he was just in misery and I just didn't know what to do. and so this was helping. I could see benefits from it I was so excited. But the problem was that the damage was done from all the vets and all the poison and stuff that he was taking. So he ended up getting cancer and unfortunately, no matter what, he died at the age of eight and a half years old, my boy. It was, um, soul shattering, and I had a friend of mine that thought I needed another dog. Immediately. I didn't. And so Chloe threw me into holistic wellness, so I started learning more about food, and then unfortunately, she died far younger than what she was supposed to. But the cool thing was, is that. Because of her diet and how I was feeding her, she still lived longer than what she was even supposed to live. Exciting. I was, and then 10 years later I got Toulie I was doing no wrong. I. And I had grown my own soul at that point as well. So much that I was focusing on really what her environment was. I wanted to make sure that I gave her the best training. I started working with animals at that point, 'cause I was gonna do everything right. I changed all the chemicals out. I got rid of all the chemicals in the house, and it was occurring to me that without me realizing all these poisonous. Toxic products that I was using both in the home on Choy and on myself, was causing him to get sick. And I was not gonna do that with Tooley. So I switched everything. I went all holistic. I found an amazing company that was trustworthy and I started using their products and she was healthy. And I went all in. I changed her diet. She was no longer eating store-bought, kibble. and I started focusing on the environment that we were in I was training her and we had this energetic connection and our home was set up vibrationally, in such a positive space that. you're singing my song. I teach that to people what they have to watch for. Toothpaste, shampoo, soap, laundry, soap, I mean, everything, everything. I usually use steam to clean my house. I have a steam cleaner. I do as well. I do as well, and I put a little essential oil in it for disinfectant. Oh, awesome. I'll do that too. it's great. it's an oil called purification and it's safe for the environment. Your animals aren't picking it up. They can breathe it, they can be around it, and it's healthy for them. Yep. that's what took me down that path. And I started working on physically, okay, I wanna give her the best. So we took the same supplements. And I had her on all sorts of supplements for her eyes and her bones and her fur, and you name it. We were on all these amazing supplements and her diet was preemptive working on her bones. I made sure that her nails were clipped, her teeth were cleaned, just like we had to clean our teeth every six months. my vet could was, he's like, how old is she? And he said, when she transitioned, she was 12 and a half years old Was it another chow? Yes. Yeah. And big dogs usually don't live that long. I know. I know. and she, she pushed me into this. Had I been doing what I was supposed to have been doing. I knew that she was originally supposed to be in my life till she was about 16. I had that feeling, I just knew it. she traveled the world with me on the airplane with me. Wow. Side by side I just knew it. And my vet was like, I've never come across an animal that is her age, that has, she's got the body of a dog half her age. And I said it's because of her environment. We get up first thing in the morning and we meditate, and then we meditate, and then the house is all high vibed. I've got crystals around, there's oils everywhere. We would go out and work out, we would go out for a walk and then she had a specific diet and we went through this and she was amazing. I even, she got an external tumor and I chose to go holistic with it and. Was cured. she didn't have it any longer. tumors and cancer are, are signs of toxins. Yes. And that's what it was too. And she had a fat, she was getting these fatty lipomas and I couldn't figure out what. And then of course I live in Long Beach, so there's a lots of toxins in the environment. So I even went all in, even more and they quit growing. she quit getting them all together You're just down the street. I'm in Torrance. Oh my gosh. This is amazing. So I love it in good, in good company here in California with, with people, right? And Oh yeah. That you talk about the crystals and the oils.'cause I have them all over too. you, you talk a lot about the power of vibration and energy. Can you explain what living high vibrationally actually means for both us and our pets? I absolutely can. and I stumbled into this. I knew it, but I didn't know it. And I started looking around in my own healing in my own self, like what's in my house. I started, I had a friend of mine, this was funny. My friend was in my house and says, it just like hanging out. I'm like, why? He goes, dude, I feel like your house is hugging me. He goes, it's so amazing in here. It smells amazing. No chemicals. I use a special thing. So it has a beautiful scent. He goes, it just has a good vibe to it. And I went. Really, hey, you're right. And I realized that the energy and the frequency of my home. Was because of what was inside the home. It was the cleaning products that I was using. I didn't let negative people in the house. I constantly focused on positive, thoughts and, and ideas, and I had always positive music play. And I have high frequency essential oils diffusing most of the time. And if I feel off. I go right back to it again, and I call'em like a warden at the front door. You don't get in, no chemicals, no nothing in the house. And so the energy in the space will either raise you or it will lower you, and you can be in a poopy mood, but if your space is set up, it's gonna lift you just by being there. Yes. Your home is supposed to be your sanctuary. so it's how you handle it, what's in your home, what's in your refrigerator. it's across all everything. It's the food you eat. Is it vibrationally set? Is it organic? Is it grass fed all of these things, or is it processed junk food that's gonna affect you and it's gonna affect your environment and it's gonna affect your dogs? Yep. And people don't realize that even the junk food sitting in the house alters the house energy. It absolutely does. Hold The junk food in your hand and I can, I feel weaker because of it. Right. You're absolutely right. It changes the energy. So people go, oh, I can eat it once in a while. It's okay, but having it in your house, I always say, if it's in your house, it will be eaten. You're right. You have to clean it up. And when you can do that and you're like, okay, so now I'm on a clean kick on my own body right now. And so I started looking at even more. So I knew I could look at any label in a food, the dog food label, a cleaner label and go, oh yeah, no, and see right away what was toxic. I wasn't so good on the foods and the ingredients. And I went, holy smokes. And so I had to go through my cabinets and my own stuff. Oh, I, I just use, I just tell people to use one ingredient foods. Just spinach. Just carrots. Exactly. And I make my own, my own thing here. And I just was, I was making it. I have an exterminator that uses. Natural stuff. And so he came on Monday to check out, because I live on a hill with a lot of ivy and stuff. we had a, a rat problem. And I, he came and looked in at me. He saw me making one of my shakes, and there was this pile of spinach, some carrots, some zucchinis, some blueberries. And he looked at me, he goes, wow, that looks healthy. I go, yeah, it's my rocket fuel. Right? Totally. I agree completely. Yeah, you've gotta clean it out. It shows up on your skin. It absolutely does. Like people will get up real close. Okay, I am gonna tell everybody I'm 72. People will get up real close to me and they go, what do you put on your skin? I said, soap and water, and a little moisturizer. That's it. What, because the toxins sit, you can see it in the skin. You'll see dark circles here, deep lines, all of that. Yep. You'll, and so if you're interested in looking younger, avoid these toxins. Eat organic, right? Absolutely. Eat organic. Avoid these toxins. And when you raise your frequency. In your environment, but in you, your space, when you raise your frequency, it shifts how you look and feel too. Yes. And how your pets feel and how they age. Yes. it will either, strengthen and build the connection stronger. Or not, and the animal knows it. I learned something recently about frequency and, pets, cats are really in tune. Dogs are as well. They listen and they go off frequency. They're, that's their number one thing. And if you are not. In a positive, happy frequency. They feel it. They pick up everything. And so you can literally be looking at your dog and saying, oh, you a little ugly pain in the ass, but saying it with love and just changing it. they hear your frequency first and foremost. emotions are we started guilt and shame at the bottom and go to joy at the top. And emotions have frequency. And you radiate those out so they're feeling those, right? Absolutely. Every moment. Yeah. How many people don't realize that the toxins in their environment could be impacting their pet's health? So what are some of the worst ones in the home and how can they, and we start making more positive changes? Fantastic question. So would you like me to either give you the exact ingredients themselves, or types of products or specific products to look at and to be wary of? I think that, and we can put an ingredient list in the show notes. I absolutely have one actually, that I have a little bundle giveaway later that we'll talk about, and I've gotten that. Okay, perfect. Perfect. Yes. So you wanna look very closely at your laundry soaps, and your household cleaners. So, Clorox, for instance, is extremely toxic. any of the laundry soaps Tide, I don't even use them anymore, so I don't even know a lot of the names. But Tide is extremely toxic as well. Even the Free and Clear, they're extremely toxic. And I'm gonna tell you a secret Seventh Generation, Method, and, Mrs. Myers have all been bought out by normal. Companies that the ingredients, they've now put in fillers and things in their products that didn't used to be in there. And so you even have to watch these brands as well. Clorox is one, Windex, Swiffer, any of these types of products, and they have a child on the label or an animal on the label, and you flip over the back. And the top three to four ingredients are just horrendously toxic for you. And keep in mind. That although I don't walk in my house with shoes, I do still wear slippers. Our fur babies are walking around barefoot and the floor and they lick their paws all the time. They lick their paws all the time and they're picking all of that up right off the floor. The scents that you're using the toxic cleaners that you're using, anything that you spray. Have plugins are extremely toxic. Yep. Um, is there any. Scents are one of the worst toxins around'cause it's all filled with fragrance. Yeah. The fragrances are really toxic. The only non-toxic fragrances are essential oils. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yep. And, and having those around, you're fine. And that's gonna raise the frequency. All these cleaners that you're cleaning your home with are gonna lower the frequency as well. just look under your cabinet and dawn dish soap. Horrible. Be very conscious of your dog shampoos as well. Look at the ingredients I went to a non-toxic cleaner, a a dog shampoo, and I looked it over in the back of it, and the number two ingredient was sodium lauryl sulfate in every single one. But one of them. You can't use it. That's, it can cause blindness. It causes skin irritations, massive allergies, kidney problems, liver problems. And keep in mind these toxic chemicals, their bodies are so much smaller and they're in the house. So for instance, dogs are eight times more toxic than humans. Now, here's one for you. Cats 23 times more toxic than humans. Wow. And think of their Yes. Yes. And that's because of the products in the environment that they're around. They're not getting outside, they're not that far away from it. And sodium laurel sulfate or SLS is a stupid, it's a stupid ingredient.'cause all it does is it makes things foam better. That's all it, it does. That's all it does. But did you know where it came from? No, my degree is in physical chemistry and a lot of my chemistry colleagues at that time, this was in the late seventies and early eighties, they were talking about the toxicity of SLS at that time. They're saying every shampoo has it and now. I just don't even allow, I have a whole list of ingredients I don't allow in my stuff. Yes. So I have all natural shampoos and toothpaste. Same here. Yep. Good for you. Good for you. it's petroleum based. It was designed to, lubricate the wheels it, because it cause a little foaming effect from the big equipment back in the day, and it became a cheap additive. So you worked with many dog mamas on transforming their lives and their pet's wellbeing. What are some of the most powerful transformations you've witnessed? I'm sure that these people are so happy that you've helped their dogs and their cats thrive again. I get so excited. I get so excited. I have two that I wanna share with you. Luca and Jessica Luca. And Jessica Luca, of course, is the pup, and Jessica was the mama. And Luca's huge. He is like a 95 pound, year and a half old Golden retriever, just the sweetest boy in the world. And he is scared of his own shadow, afraid of everything. she was already on the path to holistic, wellness in their house and environment. And I was watching him and she's like, He loves coming here. And I said, well, I've been using some products on him and I've been using some oils with him. and I started asking her questions and she was just blown away. And I said, you know what? You can do. If you wanna work with him. And I was giving her some tips on how she could actually work with him and start really focusing on the training side of it, but also how to incorporate essential oils into actually helping with his confidence and strength. so she got some stuff and we, and I gave her some tips on what to do, and she comes back to me and she says, Lisa. He doesn't get upset anymore when it rains outside. He's totally different in the house and he listens. when we're training and I'm working with him, he's much more focused and he's just different. He's just different around the house so now I work with him as well when I watch him and when I take care of him and I work with him, and then I'm working with her also, so she's setting her environment up. we have specific types of oils and different products that I work with. So when she's working with him, she has them being diffused at the exact same time. So he's really being much more focused. now, he's so much more playful and he runs around a lot more when I'm with him and she says he's completely different in the house and he's not so afraid of everything. It reminds me of how the Bach flower remedies work too. Yes. those are wonderful. Yes. they're really awesome. How it subtly changes your mood Yeah. And your outlook. And it calms the whole nervous system down. Like the combination of four things makes what they call rescue. When you're upset, you take that rescue down and man, it take makes a difference. You are so right. I used those a lot with Joey when he was ill and it made such a difference energetically and just how he felt in general. It was amazing. So good. Yeah. For pet owners that are just starting out on this holistic journey, what's the first most impactful change they can make today? the impact change is probably two parts, and that is a, that's probably one of the best questions you could ask. So you wanna focus on two things. And if you just do these two things, there's more that'll, that'll improve their life and make it better. But these things be very conscious of what you are feeding them, that will change their health and will extend their life or shorten it. very simply. And two, keep the toxins out of the environment. That's it. You just do those two things and forget about everything else, and you'll have a much happier, healthy pet. There's more that you can add to it, but those two will keep them out of the vet as much and will keep them happier and, healthier and less problems all the way around. Awesome. So beyond nutrition and toxins, what are some simple daily practices that help raise both our vibration and those of our pets? Oh, I love this question. So what I find that works wonderfully for me and simple, easy things to do is gratitudes. I wake up and I just think of things that I'm grateful for. 10 things, 20 things. What are you grateful for? It's everything, every little thing, and that sets that tone in your heart right away. It's gonna shift you and change your whole outlook just by thinking of that. And it puts you in an abundance state and a giving state because the more grateful you are for everything that you have, the happier you are and the more you wanna give to others. Yes, exactly right. I completely agree with that. the first thing when I open my eyes in the morning and I take a deep breath, I go, oh, I just love being here. I love this life, right? Being alive and I'm so happy I'm here and I'm grateful that I'm here to take another breath and I'm. Grateful to be above ground. Yeah, you said it. And then you start seeing all the different things that's going on in your life, and you'll be amazed at how things start lining up that you didn't even realize. It's simple. It's simple. And the second thing I would say to do every day is when you first get up in the morning, after you've meditated or or and after you've done, your gratitudes is drink. A large glass of water. Oh yes. you replenished your mind. You're getting your mind started. Now you wanna get your body rehydrated for the day ahead. Well, it also gets your brain woken up.'cause your brain is dehydrated and it needs water to function, right? Yes it does. Yes it does. Yeah, that's the first thing I do is two tall glasses. Yep. Yes, exactly right. So we're on the same wavelength. We totally are. I love how things just manifest. It works out so perfectly. So what sets you apart from other wellness mentors and what do you wish more pet owners knew about this journey? For me, what I feel sets me apart is I not only look at the animal and the human but I look at the connection energetically and what you can do and every part of it. It's not just. Oh, I gotta make sure I feed my dog and I gotta take him to the vet. And I, no, no, you go bigger than that. Oh, and I had to take him for a walk. You go bigger than that, and you work on building your own presence within yourself and your own, your own God self connection, your own deeper connection to spirituality with your animal, and it becomes much more of a well-rounded life. And a much deeper connection with your pup. So it's focusing on all the different nuances out there, and it's the littlest things that make the difference and people overlook them all the time. I. people love their animals. They, some people will do anything for their animals. And I think that this message is so important because, vet bills can get really high and a lot of them are really unnecessary. And I always. Say that with humans, that doctor bills can also get high and they think, well, I have insurance. People don't realize there's a cap on your insurance. And once it goes past that cap and one major illness, like cancer can take your entire wealth and it's gone. Absolutely. you said it and, and the thing is, is people know this. But then they go, what could I have done to save my animal or myself? Well, this is what you can do. Start thinking now and be preventative so that you don't have to deal with all of that stuff. Start thinking more holistically and not just at the pieces, but as the whole and not just as the whole of just the animal or just you, but the whole together. All of that, all of those pieces fit together, and that is what makes a, a healthy, happy, connected pet and a healthy, happy, connected pet parent and the environment. And it's all of that together is what makes the difference. Yeah, and also once you've reached that kind of harmony with your animal, you also reach harmony with other people. You do start connecting with other people so easily, Right. that's where, that's where it's at. It's, it's that growth Yes. And before we wrap up, you have a special gift for our listeners. Can you share what it is I absolutely will. So I put together four things that I think will just give you a good foundation to get you started and, puts you in the right direction. So I just give you some basics. So I have my 12 tips to a high vibe dog that goes over everything that is. Doing these 12 things, you are gonna see a completely different animal. That's one. Number two, it is a crystal sheet that goes through what crystals are good for your pup. Specific crystals for them. I have a checklist. So as you go through the 12 tips and you learn about them it's a checklist to go through to evaluate yourself. What are you doing now and what you need to look at. Oh, I mean, you check things off as you go. And, and I also have a non-toxic sheet that literally goes through every horrible toxin that you can think of and how to actually start looking in your products and start being aware of what's in everything and kicking those babies to the curb. And if you don't know what's in it and what's toxic and what isn't, how can you. Change and fix the, and correct these issues and, start thinking more holistically so you get all four of those together. Awesome. So I'll put the link in the show notes. Yes.

This was such a fun conversation and I'm sure that people with their pets are going to be listening with great interest and I hope they connect with you. Thank you so much.
