Dr. Anna Rodriguez BVetMed MRCVS Cert WVA & CP
Founder, Green Balance Holistic Vet
A Bit About Anna
Anna Rodriguez developed a passion for herbs at an early age, both growing and using plants as medicine whilst still at school. She graduated from the RVC in 2003, and worked as a first opinion GP vet in mixed and small animal practice until March 22. Anna started her certificate in Veterinary Herbal Medicine in 2009, and offered herbal medicine alongside mainstream treatment options in practice. Her interest in complimentary therapies led her to complete a certificate in Western Veterinary Acupuncture and Chronic Pain Management, allowing her to offer further options for integrated clinics.
After many years working as the senior vet in a corporate owned practice in Norfolk Anna decided to set up Green Balance Holistic Vet. She nows offers wellness appointments from her home office and herb garden! Sharing her passion for plants has led to co-creating Veterinary Herbal Training as a way of increasing knowledge and awareness of herbal medicine within the veterinary profession.

A Bit About Chelsea
Chelsea Dawson qualified as a vet from Glasgow University and quickly went on to pursue her interest in chronic pain management. While working as a small animal GP she obtained a certificate in Western Veterinary Acupuncture and Chronic Pain Management. She began running pain clinics alongside general practice. Due to client demand her interest in phytotherapy was ignited. Chelsea went on to do training in Western Veterinary Herbal Medicine and has incorporated this into her regular treatments.
Chelsea left general practice in 2017 to launch True North Veterinary Wellness. A referral service in the North of England. In early 2023, after 17 years in the UK, Chelsea and her family decided to move back to Canada. She is now re-launched True North Vet in Southern Ontario, Canada.
​
Chelsea is passionate about what she does and as a result her interests have turned to teaching. Chelsea teaches acupuncture with the Western Veterinary Acupuncture group and is active with Longview CPD. She has co-founded Veterinary Herbal Training as a way of teaching safe, science based herbal medicine to other vets and nurses.
