In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Tamara Shead — animal acupuncturist, canine nutritionist, and founder of Whiskey River Retrievers — to explore her incredible journey from South Africa to Australia and from schoolteacher to holistic animal practitioner.

Tamara shares how her rescue horse, Oki, became the catalyst for her transformation, and how acupuncture is becoming increasingly recognised within veterinary care. Together, we discuss the importance of holistic approaches to animal wellbeing, from mindful breeding and nutrition to understanding the unique needs of each pet.

Broadcasting from her farm clinic in Australia, Tamara offers a grounded and compassionate perspective on what it means to truly care for animals — body, mind, and spirit.

A beautiful conversation for anyone who believes that healing begins when we honour the whole being.
