About me

My name is Beaudine van Dokkum, I am 24 years old and I am an Orthomolecular therapist for dogs, animal interpreter (for all animals) and I have my own grooming salon for dogs and cats.

When I was little I was always busy with animals. I had to save and help everything. For example, I took riding lessons for years and together with my mother I took a course in animal communication twice. When I was thirteen I started working in a pet shop with a homeopathic pharmacy. I worked there for 5 years, gained a lot of experience and really tasted what it is like to work with animals (and also with people).

When I was 16, I started the training as a business manager animal care level 4 at the MBO. During this time, I did several internships. I did internships with dogs and cats, but also with sheep, chickens, rabbits, birds, rodents and even reptiles. I also did a 3-month internship at the animal protection agency in Curacao. That was an incredibly intense, but incredibly beautiful experience to have had.

After completing this training I was able to start working at a dog daycare right away. I worked there happily for 3 years. In addition, I started training as a dog groomer and did an internship at a grooming salon. I worked 7 days a week for a long period, both at the daycare and at my internship address and in the weekend I slowly started to get some customers for my grooming salon and in the weekend I also helped out at the dog school where my grooming salon was located in the afternoon.

During this period I also regularly did courses on behavior, but also on massage for dogs. I also did a course on nutrition during this period. This was given by a naturopath for dogs, cats and horses and this is where my interest in nutrition really started to expand. During this course I learned what nutrition can do and how much difference it can make.

My interest in nutrition grew and grew and then the training for orthomolecular therapist for dogs came my way. I fought hard for this, but it was worth it, because this is such a beautiful profession!

Furthermore, I never stop learning and so last year I started the training for communication, coaching and healing for animals and boy is that also incredibly cool! I have already started as an animal interpreter and healer. Furthermore, I am busy with courses on Bach flower, aromatherapy and lithotherapy (crystal healing). I am always looking for new courses and new training to expand my knowledge as much as possible. In my experience I have really learned that nutrition is always the basis. If the nutrition is not right you are out of balance anyway and that also applies to animals.

My pets:

I have 3 dogs (Rosie, Lily and Kai), 3 cats (Aida, Mo and Pumba), 2 chickens (Fluffy and Banana) and a cockatiel (Erika). I really hope to add more different species in the future, such as horses, pigs and maybe cows or goats. We'll see what the future brings.

More about me:

I am very spiritual, as a child I already made contact with deceased people and I was always in contact with animals. I could always tell my parents exactly what was going on with our animals. In my path to growing older and not wanting to be different from others I lost myself and especially my spiritual side.

Even during the time I worked at the dog daycare, I still hadn't found myself. I really had to tear myself away from the people I thought loved me. I had to stand in my own light and I worked incredibly hard for that, but now I'm doing better than ever and I really know who I am again. These days, I feel incredibly grounded and I feel like I'm really working with the universe. I don't believe in coincidence. Everything happens for a reason.

On this website there is information about my grooming salon and you can also request a reading for your animal, nutritional advice for your dog, cat or bird or an orthomolecular consultation for your dog and I can help you get your animal back in order emotionally by helping to release the trapped emotions of your animal. Furthermore, I help with choosing the right gemstones and I make custom Flower Remedies.
