ABOUT GABY CADENA:
Gaby Cadena of PetZen graduated from Veterinary School in Ecuador, South America, with a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine in 2013. Her interests have always been related to canine behaviour and holistic medicine with a special passion in Chinese Medicine. After living in Galapagos for a year working in Public Health, Gaby realised she wanted to go deeper in the healing path and for this reason, she worked in Canine Physiotherapy before she came to Australia to continue her dream of offering the best quality life for pets. Gaby joined the Chi University to begin her studies in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) and finished the Small Animal Acupuncture course in 2019.
Gaby is currently a Certified Canine Myofunctional Therapist (CMT), a Canine Whole Energy Body Balance Teacher and Practitioner (WEBB) and a Veterinary Acupuncturist (CVA). She is also a member of the International Institute for Complementary Therapists and the World Association of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine.
When Gaby is not cuddling puppies or covered in fur at doggy daycare, you will find her giving bodywork session at one of the PetZen room, teaching WEBB, assisting the Director of Chi University Australia, or studying a new bodywork modality.
