Hi, I’m Paris — and for over 30 years, Boxers have been at the center of my heart and home. Each one has left a lasting mark on my life, shaping not only my love for the breed but also my mission to give every dog the healthiest, happiest life possible.

My journey into holistic pet health began with my very first Boxer. I wanted the best for her, and that led me to discover the raw feeding philosophy of

Dr. Ian Billinghurst. But even though I was trying, over the years, their diet wasn't properly balanced, and my dogs weren’t truly thriving. I knew there was a better way, and my vet couldn’t give me the answers I was looking for.

At the same time, I was searching for holistic approaches to my own health, which inspired me to become a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. Through that work, I discovered how nutrition, lifestyle, and root-cause approaches could change lives. But there was still a missing piece: my dogs. I knew they deserved the same level of care.

Over the years, I’ve walked through the heartbreak of losing a few Boxers. This breed is known for being prone to arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, and cancer, and I experienced heart issues firsthand with two of my beloved dogs.

I later learned how much genetics, nutrition, and responsible breeding practices can impact the risk of these conditions. That knowledge now fuels my work — both in raising my own European bloodline Boxers and in guiding others through pet health coaching — to prevent these issues from becoming dominant, and to give Boxers the longest, healthiest lives possible.

That’s why I became a Certified Holistic Pet Health Coach, Canine Nutritionist, and Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist. My mission is to empower pet parents with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to raise their dogs naturally — preventing illness where possible, and nurturing resilience and vitality at every stage of life.

At The Holistic Boxer, I combine professional expertise with lived experience. More than credentials, what I bring is the love of a lifelong dog mom who knows both the joy and the heartbreak of caring for this incredible breed. My goal is simple: to help your dog thrive — no matter the breed — so that you can enjoy many vibrant years together. 💜
