About Dr. Odette Suter, DVM
Dr. Odette Suter is a veterinarian from Switzerland. Having grown up working and riding at a near-by horse barn, it was no surprise that her love for horses and animals in general would remain her passion. During her studies she became very aware of the strengths and limitations of traditional veterinary medicine. In search for ways to not only alleviate symptoms, but also cure dis-eases she was led to learn about horses' hooves and their role in the overall health of horses. While in vet school, she was trained as a natural hoof care provider. Very early on in her studies she also felt a deep desire to understand animals and the gift they bring to us. When she moved to the US, she therefore continued her education toward holistic medicine and expanded her knowledge to include animal communication, veterinary acupuncture, nutrition and different energy healing modalities such as shamanism and cranio-sacral therapy.
In search of greater wholeness within herself she concurrently embarked on a journey of personal growth. This allowed her to deepen her ability to support people and animals on their path. She continued her studies and earned a masters degree in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica, California, and went on to complete a program of Soul-Centered Leadership from the same school. Never tired of discovering more about the cause of disease and how to assist others' healing, she deepened her knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Emperor's College in the same town and became certified in Veterinary Spinal Manipulation Therapy (aka. Chiropractic Care) by The Healing Oasis in Wisconsin.
After receiving her American veterinary credentials, Odette was privileged to practice veterinary acupuncture and chiropractic care at Equine Therapeutic Options with Dr. Ridgway. Odette is available for nutritional and hoof consultations via phone and email as well as in-person holistic care of your horses at Prairie Equine Clinic, Mundelein, IL (www.prairieequine.com).
Odette's intention is to guide individuals on a journey to well-being that integrates body, mind, emotions and spirit, while taking into account the environment we live in.
