About Dr Jodi
A veterinarian, naturopath and veterinary osteopath inspired by animals as teachers, healers and companions.
Inspired by the animals in her life
Jodi's inspiration comes from her own animal friends, many of whom have been her wisest teachers.
Her work combines veterinary medicine, naturopathy, osteopathy and years of experience developing her understanding of animal communication.
Through Our Place on Earth, Jodi supports people in developing a deeper understanding of their animal friend's physical, emotional and individual needs.
Animals can teach us another way of being
“In 2003, whilst visiting a gaushala — a cow sanctuary in India — I was inspired to write a book called Through the Eyes of a Cow.
During this research period I became aware of the power of animals as teachers and healers.
Cows demonstrated that their social structures are based on nurturing relationships, equality and compassion, and that humanity could benefit greatly from following the example their peaceful natures provide.”
— Dr Jodi Ruckley
