Early bird Registration is Open!
A Chinese New Year gift to you!
The 2nd year of “Be Your Pet’s Hero” is open for registration.
Just in time for Chinese New Year and the Year of the Snake!
You are invited to spend a full yearly cycle with me, exploring the fascinating world of animal healing. We will follow the natural cycles of the 5 Elements of Chinese Medicine around the wheel of the year as we journey through the body, learning ways to support it and give our dogs and cats a life of optimal health and well-being.
For 25 years, I have practiced Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, incorporating acupuncture, herbal medicine, and many other holistic healing modalities into a thriving house-call practice in South Florida. This will be the fourth year I am sharing my experience with a group of students and pet parents and the second year of my full program on TCVM.
In honor of my practice’s 25th anniversary, I am offering a special EARLY BIRD rate to my year-long course, only available until March 1st.
We will follow the cycle of the 5 Elements rooted in ancient Taoism. The Five Elements are the energetic building blocks of the living world. They correspond to the seasons of the year, life stages, organ systems, body parts, food items, plant medicine, the energetic bodies that make up our mental, emotional and spiritual aspects, and even the parts of the soul.
The cycles of the Five Elements provide a map for restoring balance and harmony within the body and between the individual and the environment. Everyone can agree that the world needs more balance and harmony. And now, more than ever, we must find our own personal grounding with the earth below our feet.
We will experience the energy of each element through the energy of the seasons and observe it mirrored in our dogs and cats.
We will learn about:
the life stages and how to prepare and support our animals through them
supporting the organ systems and body parts through the seasons
acupuncture channels and points and several ways to work with them without the use of needles: touch, red light, essential oils, flower essences, stones, and moxa.
how to use food and herbs to gently nudge the body back into resonance with the environment.
how the ancients knew about the microbiome, genetics, and the immune system and even had protocols for epidemics.
weekly meditation sessions to become aware of our internal world and the flow of Qi through our own bodies.
energy medicine techniques for self-healing and healing our pets
As all the great sages have said over the eons, “Change begins within” and “Change is the only constant”.
We are in the Year of the Snake, a year that promises great transformation. Change can be graceful and easy if we flow with it instead of resisting it, just like a snake shedding it’s skin. Let’s help each other do this together!
Join me and a small group of loving pet parents who are willing to explore and deepen our connection with our bodies, our animals, and the living world.
No experience is required, just an open heart and mind. Let’s create a healthier world for ourselves and our pets!

In the city of Miami, Dr. Josie is always the name you hear about when you want a qualified acupuncturist for your dog. So, when the time came, I called her to get an appointment for my 2 precious dogs and our love affair began. Dr. Josie assessed them with so much knowledge and experience. My dogs weren’t puppies, but she kept them strong and healthy and feeling good. They lived incredibly happy lives because of her. Her spiritual connection with my dogs gave me peace of mind in the good times and valuable strength in the trying times. She was there with me until the end……………. We did it together and I know that my precious dogs lived longer, better lives because of her. - J. Lipton
You have truly been a partner over the last 2 decades. You have been available to answer questions and have been a true mentor, reinforcing and supporting the raw food diet that I make for the dogs and the cats. You were the first veterinarian to endorse the raw food diet and your suggestions for additional foods have enhanced what I make and, thus, made my animals healthier. - M. Lewis, client of 22 years
