About Paola Zanibelli Davies and the Holistic Cat Specialist: Paola is a Doctor in Psychology, trained in Advanced Feline Behaviour Management, Nutrition and Holistic Care and certified by the American Association of Veterinary State Boards as a Holistic Pet Health Coach. She is originally Italian but has lived abroad (in several countries) for over 25 years: she has worked with cats and their human parents for about 10 years, at first in person, and now that she is based in Wales (UK), online, through 1-on-1 services and an affordable membership. She is both a cat mum of 4 Arabian Mau rescues (all saved from the streets of Dubai), and a holistic practitioner who specializes in cats ONLY. Paola's mission is to help proactive cat parents expand their options beyond traditional vet care when it comes to supporting the health of their cats, and she does this by teaching a hands-on approach to cat care that empowers cat guardians to use herbal remedies, nutraceuticals, great nutrition, and simple but useful home practices to up their cat parenting skills. Paola's work focuses not only on the effective alternative remedies available, but also on supporting cat parents emotionally when they face a health challenge with their cats, and on the techniques they can use to successfully and kindly modify cat behaviour when harmony has been broken. A fun fact about Paola is that she loves to learn and she is absolutely obsessed with cats, so she has a big collection of cat books and cat themed objects and clothes that she regularly uses around the house. It turns out that almost anything can be made in the shape of a cat!!
