It all started with Abigail…
My beloved guinea girl – one of the three family guinea pig pets we welcomed in 2020.
Abigail (Abby), my daughter Makenzie’s guinea pig, all of a sudden showed some problems using her back legs. The poor thing was struggling to even walk — I knew I had to do something! My Holistic Vet told me about Dr. John. I had never heard of Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation (VOM) and was so curious to see how it could possibly help my guinea pig. I immediately booked an appointment. My first observation of Dr. John and his magnetism was actually at a previous Vet visit while I sat in the waiting room. I saw something so out of the ordinary I really couldn’t believe it — a dog so excited to see Dr. John, that it, impatiently darted right into his exam room. There was absolutely no hesitation or fear, no tail between the legs, and no need to lovingly nudge the dog into the room. If you have or had a pet you know exactly what I am talking about. This was the exact opposite of what I have experienced with visits to the Vet throughout my entire life. This was NOT normal, but why? I couldn’t wait to find out.
Upon meeting Dr John, he interacted with my Abby girl by snuggling her into his chest and telling her how much he adored her and he reassured (both of us) that everything would be OK. I believed him, but it was actually better than OK! He walked me through what he was doing, and I was 100% drawn in. I felt so supported and excited to see any kind of results there may be. After working with Dr. John Abby pretty much immediately recovered the use of her legs and got back to being her regular, curious, exploring self, able to run around her cage with ease. I did nothing different but take her to see Dr. John, who gently worked on her with the VOM methods and laser therapy when necessary. From then on, I became a regular visitor of Dr. John’s with all five of my pets regarding whatever ailments they were presently experiencing. He has not only given each of my fur babies the support they have needed, but has also simultaneously guided me through the many ups and downs of pet ownership.

With his background of being a chiropractor, Dr. John can’t help himself but check in with you (the owner) during each pet visit by asking, “How are YOU doing?” His sweet and gentle invitation is followed by whatever guidance, wisdom, and inspiration he has for you that day. My visits with Dr. John are not only helpful and healing for my pets, but they are also a gift for me. They fill me with a sense of lightness and happiness — feeling better than when I first walked in. I feel seen, heard and supported in my own life. He is a true ally for pets and owners alike, and I am truly grateful that I found him. Now I am so excited to share him with all of you! On October 11th you will be able to observe some of the most beautiful qualities I have been so fortunate to experience in these past years of working side-by-side with him and my beloved pets.
Join us and the My Lively community for our upcoming Mixer on Oct 11th where we will explore Refined Holistic Care for our Beloved Pets and learn how to best support the lives of our fur family using innovative + effective modalities.
We will be led by Dr John Harrison, DC, CVCP and Ginger Krantz, Principal of Earth Horse Healing, LLC.
At this mixer, Dr John and Ginger will partner together on a panel to discuss:
- The differences from traditional vet care (surgery, drugs, vaccines, etc) to innovative holistic care (acupuncture, muscle testing, chiropractic, chinese medicine, supplements, energy healing, etc)
- How to find the path of care that best serves your beloved pets and being informed of the options available to make the best decisions for their well-being
- Case studies of animals that they have both worked on and the results they’ve seen
- Recognizing just how complex animals are in their mental and emotional internal states
- How to be more in tune with and connected to your pets on many levels
There will also be an opportunity for Q&A throughout the panel and a chance to connect with Dr John and Ginger 1:1 after the panel concludes.
Ticket sales are LIVE and the early bird rate of $39 won’t last long!
