Her award-winning research on early renal disease detection in captive cheetahs was published in the Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine.
In 2004, Dr. Holder founded FloridaWild Veterinary Hospital, a pioneering integrative practice for small animals, exotics and wildlife. Certified in Veterinary Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine, Tui-Na, Food Therapy and Reiki, she built a nationally recognized healing space that was featured on National Geographic Wild: Unlikely Animal Friends. She has treated thousands of patients, focusing on immune system balance and natural healing modalities to address chronic illness, allergies and cancer.

In 2019, she became a teaching assistant in acupuncture for Chi University. Dr. Holder has had the honor of speaking at The American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association and Chi University Conferences.
In 2022, she sold FloridaWild and relocated to Hawaii, where she began a personal journey of healing from compassion fatigue. This experience led to an in depth study of energetic medicine. While in Hawaii, she explored the fundamentals of scientifically recognized Healing Touch Therapy and completed her certification as a Primordial Sound Meditation Instructor through The Chopra School. Dr. Holder also co-authored the first online program for ozone therapy for pets to educate veterinarians on the power and safety of ozone therapy.
Now based at River’s Ranch in Northern California, Dr. Holder continues advanced studies in veterinary homeopathy and quantum healing. She has completed two years of study at the Northwestern Academy of Homeopathy. She remains passionate about reducing unnecessary medications, nurturing pets with whole food diets and reestablishing their balance. Her hobbies include caring for her menagerie of pups, kitties, an African Grey, chickens, horses and a turkey, running, meditation, yoga and throwing pottery on the wheel.
Her latest venture, Indigo, is a veterinary consulting service designed to empower pet guardians to support their animals’ health through integrative approaches using food as medicine and homeopathy.
