Diana's passion for animals became apparent when as a young child she consistently tried to bring home every stray or injured animal.

Her team of experts included veterinary acupuncturists, naturopaths, homeopaths, as well as, a network of animal shelters and rescuers across Canada and the US.

Her second passion, writing, brought her the opportunity to contribute her expertise in natural pet care, as well as animal welfare, to several Canadian health and wellness magazines such as Alive, Health 'n Vitality, as well as a French publication, Vitalité Québec. Throughout 2012, she contributed as a regular weekly guest on Love That Dog Hollywood! a Los Angeles based pet wellness radio show with Addie Daddio.
