Dr. Watson
After ten years of working in emergency veterinary medicine, I saw firsthand the limitations of conventional approaches for chronic and nuanced conditions. This experience spurred me to take a more comprehensive approach to veterinary care, incorporating both conventional and alternative modalities. Along with my team, we strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where we can work collaboratively with pet owners to achieve the best possible outcomes for their pets. Whether it's managing chronic conditions, supporting senior pets, or promoting overall wellness, we are committed to providing exceptional care.

Lee Burki
Lee Burki, "Coach Burki," is a certified Liangong, Qigong, and Body Force instructor, providing the knowledge and intention to empower individuals to build strength, flexibility, and internal balance.
Education
Burki is trained by Sifu Matthew Klein in Liangong, Wing Chung, as well as in understanding the body's force and electrical patterns. With a background in industrial workplace injuries & recovery, ergonomics, neurotechnology (for brain related injuries, addictions, trauma and imbalances), martial arts, Qigong, and coaching. Burki is able to apply Human Animal Energetics to guide you to improve your body awareness, alleviate pain, and restore strength, harmony, and balance to prepare for being calm in stressful situations.
Burki's experience applying Liangong and Qigong to overcome his own chronic injury related pain, joint impingements, and spinal issues leads him to teach others the skills and benefits of taking personal responsibility for your wellness and your pets too.
Pet parents, athletes, high performance individuals and others seeking help have shattered plateaus from Burki's spot on insight of body force awareness to optimize their position, movement, and mental preparedness to encourage best results.
We recognize that animals have a sensory information-gathering ability that far exceeds human capability, and that the connection between animals and their owners can have a profound impact on the animal's mental-emotional and physical state. HAE allows Lee to work with you to assess your own internal state and find ways to improve your pet's well-being.
