Wellness and Calm
Natural and Holistic Pet Supplements

Their products are vet-reviewed, free from artificial flavors and preservatives, and developed from a combination of scientific research, traditional herbal practice, and real-world experience.

Alaskan Essences — Flower Essences for Animals
Flower essences are a gentle vibrational remedy used to support emotional balance in animals experiencing stress, transitions, or environmental change.
Alaskan Essences offers a variety of flower essence blends formulated for companion animals and humans, often chosen by guardians navigating anxiety, grief, or the needs of a rescue animal settling into a new home.
Each blend is made to be added to food or water or misted into the spaces an animal already knows, so support meets them where they are.
I reach for their essences alongside my own work with animals, and I recommend them for the guardians who want something gentle to hold onto between sessions.

Name a Star in Their Memory
When a companion animal passes on, many guardians find comfort in creating small rituals of remembrance.
Naming a star in their memory can be a beautiful way to honor a connection that will always remain part of your life. Star Name Registry offers star dedications with a certificate, celestial coordinates, and access to their Find My Star app, so you can look up your animal's star from your phone on any night, wherever you are.
Many guardians choose to display the certificate in their home as a quiet reminder that love, once shared, continues to exist in the universe around us.
Paw and Nose Print Memorial Kit
Creating a paw or nose print can be a meaningful way to honor the physical presence your companion once shared in your life. This archival ink kit allows guardians to create a clean paw or nose print that can be framed alongside photographs and kept as a lasting tribute. Non-toxic and safe for animals.
Memorial Wind Chimes
Many guardians find comfort in the gentle sound of wind chimes, a quiet reminder of the love that remains even after a companion animal is gone. Personalized memorial chimes can be engraved with a name and dates of life, creating a lasting tribute that moves with the wind. I recommend the 30-inch version for its deeper tone.
