Dr. Angela Gutzer has been practicing as a Veterinarian since 2007. She started with mixed animals, then transitioned to small animals, locum work, and opening her own mobile service in 2022. Her service, White Feather Mobile Veterinarian, focuses on geriatric, palliative, complementary, and end of life care.
Her deeper interest in death started after the loss of her beloved dog Chloe. She began to seek answers to questions of death as she was enveloped in grief. Her quest led her into the world of animal communication and she gained solace with a personal message from her dear Chloe through a wonderful animal communicator from England.
The loss of her mother further motivated her to learn more about death, leading her to take the contemplative end of life course through ITM (Institute of Traditional Medicine). After writing articles in the local newspaper about her journey through the death care course, she met Nicola Finch and they started the Cariboo Deathcaring Network, offering resources, hosting Death Cafes, and organizing a death festival.
White Feather Mobile Veterinarian was born to hold space for the sacredness in dying. Angela supports both natural death and chemical assistance in the dying process. She believes that animals play an important and valuable role in teaching us how to die with more presence, and with more love.
Her interests revolve around animals, medicine, nature, death, healing, and spirituality and believes that life’s hardships are really gifts bringing us back to who we really are–spiritual beings having a human life. Her losses have led her into exciting avenues including learning how to listen to what animals are saying and really honoring their presence as teachers for her journey.
Barbara Shor graduated from Colorado State University as a veterinarian in 1983 and worked in private practice for a few years. She then completed a 3-year residency program in zoo and wildlife medicine at University of California, Davis in conjunction with California Department of Fish and Wildlife. She spent a year working with wildlife in East Africa as a veterinarian and behavior researcher.
Upon her return, Barbara worked in a small animal practice and decided it was not for her. She realized that animals are so much more aware and wise than what she had been taught and conditioned to believe, so she decided to learn from the animals themselves. That is when she became a professional animal communicator, author, speaker, and teacher.
That was more than 30 years ago, and since then Barbara has done private sessions with people and their companion animals and has taught workshops focused on developing a spiritual relationship with animals and tapping into their deep wisdom. She has published two books in the Soul of the Wild Series. The first is titled Intimate Messages from the Hearts and Souls of Elephants and Whales. The latest is called The Wisdom of Elephants. She also co-hosts a podcast called Animals and Us: Voices of a New Paradigm.
Her life’s work is to help people deepen their connection with animals and the natural world, so they can more readily receive and appreciate the tremendous gifts being offered. And to help people and animals have more fulfilling, peaceful, and joyful lives.
