Ashlie Williamson

Ashlie brings the true essence of assessing each species as a whole, from an ecological and biological specific standpoint, through highlighting the evolutionary origins of the species. Being an Environmental Scientist, Animal Biologist, Animal Naturopath, Animal Necropsy Researcher, as well as a published researcher in native flora and fauna studies.
Understanding the anatomical physiology of species is of the utmost importance, for animals' to not just survive, but to thrive. Helping the public to understand aspects of animal domestication and the influence this has had on species anatomically and on a microbiology level, enables a deeper understanding of the considerations to be addressed when caring for specific species.
Through further research of nutrigenomics and cellular-level biochemistry, Ashlie is keen to see this pathway grow not just for domesticated animals, but to include native endemic flora and fauna through indigenous land management communities’.

Leslie Williamson

After spending 30 years as an Animal Studies Lecturer and Keynote Speaker, Leslie is excited to bring Animal Naturopathic Medicine Education to a global scale. Delivering thousands of webinars and presentations in animal health, her approach centers on the Naturopathic Wholistic (Holos) Health Model by focusing on the animals' optimal species-specific health, wellbeing, and longevity throughout their domestic lives with humans.

Leslie began her career as a horse-riding instructor, sparking a lifelong interest through the pursuit of extensive qualifications in Equine and Canine Naturopathic Medicine, Equine Osteopathic Medicine, Kinesiology, and dual certifications as an Equine Saddle Fitter and Technician. Driven by a deep commitment to resolving muscular compensation patterns, saddle-fit damage, and kinetic disruptions, Leslie remains dedicated to giving horses absolute comfort and functionality under saddle through comprehensive equine welfare education.
