About
Melina's love for animals began during her childhood when she cared for sick or stray dogs and cats. This sparked her dream of becoming a veterinarian. However, the lessons she learned from her three cats led her in a slightly different direction. After working as a nurse in the veterinary field, she became interested in feline behaviour, bodywork therapies, and energy medicine. My cats are my teachers and healers. Dedicated to loving, caring and advocating for cats worldwide!
