  Dr Isla Fishburn
Dr Isla Fishburn owns Kachina Canine. Her focus is on improving wellness efforts and ecosystem health from the individual level up where we access wider consciousness and intelligence with all of life, including our dogs. Isla wants to create a co-existence with dogs in a way that is beyond a mindset and, instead, from the soul set where consciousness sits. She combines science with indigenous wisdom to better the life of dogs in all aspects of their wellness; physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, environmental and how the wellness state of a dog's guardian can affect a dog. Isla focuses on deepening the connection of a human to live intuitively, consciously and authentically so that they and their dog can co-exsist from a place of oneness, wholeness, acceptance and energetic alignment. Here, Isla focuses on the understanding that, at its most fundamental level, everything is vibration and frequency. Isla combines her knowledge as a zoologist, a Masters and PhD in conservation biology, a shamanic practitioner, wolf handler and exploring canine wellness for over a decade to bring teachings about how to improve the wellness, connection and relationship of dogs and their guardians. She is deeply focused on teaching and exploring the importance of vibrational health and living consciously so that dogs and people are living their best life.
