I was introduced to Julie-Anne Thorne, from Naturally Cats, over a year ago through The-Two-Crazy-Cat-Ladies. That introduction was very pivotal in my journey to provide my cats with the best possible care for them and I will forever be grateful. Julie-Anne has been such an amazing resource to have in my Cat Care Toolbelt. I have taken many of her courses, from Color Therapy to Cat Chakras. Her The Aromatic Cat book has been highlighted, dog-eared and used so many times. And there is always at least one of her Herb Gardens down for the cats to use self-selection. Then, there is the Holistic Cat Conference 2023…
What If?
Julie-Anne’s mission in life is to give cats a voice. Those words drive her in every direction. Always looking for a way to not only give cats a voice, but to empower Cat Moms and Dads with ways to improve their cat’s lives. Last year, she hosted the 1st ever Holistic Cat Conference after thinking of a way to reach more cat parents and provide them with more resources and tools to help their cats physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
I am sure Julie-Anne’s mind was full of “What Ifs” from the moment she thought of the idea to the end of the 1st HCC. “What if I put together a virtual Holistic Cat Conference full of amazing presenters?” to “What if no one is interested in and attends said conference?” I am so grateful that she ignored that last “what if” and hosted that Holistic Cat Conference. I attended and learned so much valuable information. Most of what I learned sent me down rabbit holes in an effort to learn more. To say that I was super excited when I heard that Julie-Anne was hosting a 2nd Holisitc Cat Conference is an understatement.
Wealth of Knowledge
This year’s 2 Day Holistic Cat Conference featured 9 presenters who brought a wealth of knowledge to us attending. Day 1 started with Julie-Anne, herself, giving us some clarity on Cat Chakras. Following her was Dr. Amaya Espindola presenting Mushrooms and Cats. Next came Nayana Morag helping us learn about Chinese 5 Elements and our cats. Then, Pea Horsley taught us ways to communicate with our cats and why it is important for us to learn how to hear what they are trying to tell us. Day 1 ended with Dr. Judy Morgan and the key to kidney disease. And that was just Day 1!
The wealth of knowledge continued with Day 2 of Holistic Cat Conference. Julie-Anne kicked off Day 2 with Dr. Brendan Clarke talking about Homeopathy for cats. Next was Caroline Ingraham teaching us about essential oils and cats. Then, Dr. Katie Woodley shared her vast knowledge about gut health and food therapy. Finally, Day 2 and the conference ended with Jae & Adrienne from Two Crazy Cat Ladies showing us how we can learn to love the litter box. Wow, and I thought Day 1 was great!
A Feeling of Empowerment
You all know that I am determined to provide my cats with the best possible life that I can give them. I am always looking for ways to improve their lives physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Having the opportunity to learn from 9 amazing presenters who are highly regarded in their fields is priceless. The fact that this opportunity came to us in a FREE 2 Day Conference is incredible. At the end of each day, I left with such a feeling of empowerment. For me, there is no better feeling than knowing that I have so many tools and resources in my Cat Care Toolbelt.
I want to deeply express my gratitude to Julie-Anne for not only being a beautiful human being, but for all the hard work she put into this weekend. Holistic Cat Conference 2023 was not to be missed. However, if you did, you can still get the VIP Experience where you can get the recordings to all the presenters and so much more. Over the next few weeks, I will be highlighting some of the presenters and the valuable information they shared. I have so many rabbit holes that I will be venturing into and will take you all along with me. Once again, I want to thank Julie-Anne Thorne, as well as the other presenters for sharing their time and knowledge with us. Can’t wait for Holistic Cat Conference 2024.
