Holistic Dog Nutrition & Wellness Reviews

“I am so happy I found Veronica! I have wanted to feed my dogs a raw diet for a while, but I found all the information in books and online to be confusing. Veronica has been a blessing, guiding me through the transition. I love that she focuses on holistic healing. When your dog is sick, you would do anything to help them. Since putting both my dogs on a raw diet, I have seen a huge positive change in their overall health. We have even tried some reiki energy healing sessions, which were beautiful you must experience it. I am very selective about who I allow into my home, Veronica is incredibly nice, wonderful, and knowledgeable"

— Kerry S., Brickell, Florida, USA

What impressed me most about Veronica's work is how beautifully she complements her thorough factual knowledge with subtle intuitive knowing. It is a true pleasure to work with her. I warmly recommend Veronica's nutrition consultation to anyone looking to improve the lives of their beloved dog companions."

I have been referring her services to other people, and everyone has been pleased with her."

— Alejandro G., Miami, Florida, USA
"Veronica, from Barefoot Mama is the most professional and caring person I've met. She spent so much time with me over the phone during our initial consultation and went over the information in such details, that I really felt confidence in the new path we chose for Nico, our four legged pup. The consultation was super informative and the time flew by so quickly that I was simply astonished to discover I jotted down so much intimation during the call. The two emails that followed the day after kept with the high standard of the day before and they to were filled with knowledge, guidelines and recommendations all tailored for our precious pup. Thanks so much, I know I can trust the knowledge I acquired now and if there is any question I can always go back to Veronica.".

Equine & Canine Bodywork and PEMF Testimonials

“I could see the shift almost immediately. My horse softened in a way I’ve never seen before—his whole body relaxed, and he just stood there, breathing. After the session, his movement was lighter, freer… like something had truly been released.”

— Lorie D., Loxahatchee, Florida, USA
“There is such a grounded, calming presence in these sessions. You can feel the care, the intention, and the respect for the animal. It’s not just a service—it’s an experience.”

— Amie S., Westlake, Florida, USA
“I didn’t realize how much tension my horse was holding until I saw the release happen. The difference afterward was undeniable—more relaxed, more willing, and simply happier.”

—Samantha R., Wellington, Forida, USA
“My horse was noticeably more relaxed after his BEMER session and moved with greater softness and ease the following day. This has become an important part of his wellness routine here in Wellington.”

— A lovely Client, Wellington, Florida, USA.
"Our polo mare was uneasy and jumpy; very skittish to get on, and when you finally would, she would start her prancing routine. Veronica did her bodywork “magic” and in two sessions she was back to being her normal high performance polo pony again. Quite remarkable!”

— GR Ranch, Wellington, Florida, USA
"After just one session, my horse felt lighter, calmer, and more at ease in his body. The shift was undeniable—not only physically, but emotionally. This work is truly something special."

— Janet C., Delray, Florida, USA
“My horse works really hard at the roping events and his lower back gets very sore. After the PEMF therapy (and whatever else Veronica does that I really don’t know much about), I noticed a marked improvement. I now have her work on him often to help maintain and get him back to work sooner. ”

— Donnie M., Loxahatchee, Florida, USA
“My 17 yo mammoth mule had never had any BEMER experience before, and he was perfectly still with the blanket and the boots on him. He was extremely relaxed! I had noticed a sore lower back that morning and was concerned, so I’m glad I had him worked on as he walked off 90% better in his sore hind end that day, and was back to normal by the next day to ride! Mules don’t lie and they don't tolerate anything they don't think helps them, so he's a big fan of BEMER now!”

— Kelly S., Wellington, Florida, USA
“My dog has always been anxious, especially around new people. Within minutes, she settled in a way that honestly surprised me. She was calm, at ease, and even affectionate. It felt like she finally exhaled.”

— Alejandra L., Miami, Florida, USA

Reiki Energy Healing for Animals Testimonials

“My dog couldn't walk due to patellar luxation and as soon as we were done having a Reiki session, she was up and getting around! My dog is my baby and although she is older I knew that Reiki would do wonders for her and I was happily surprised with the results. In addition, to having such a special gift, Veronica is attentive to detail, thorough and loves pets! She is truly amazing!”

— Lorena L., Miami, Florida, USA
“Thank you Veronica for your help with my dog. We didn’t know what was wrong, but for a few days he seemed really off, lethargic and “out of it”. A few hours after the session he was back to himself, running around happy like nothing had happened. It really was amazing to see such a shift in his energy, so quickly. Certainly didn’t expect this, and know that this may not be necessarily the case in all situations, but wow, this really was amazing. Veronica was very professional, loving and kind. This was our first long distance Reiki session and it was really powerful. She stayed on the phone with us and we felt the energy very beautifully and strongly, and so did my dog as he went into a deep sleep. We are really happy that our little guy is feeling like himself again! Thank you Veronica and Reiki energy!”

— Jay C., Pompano Beach, Florida, USA

The Trust Technique® Testimonials

“Veronica helped our puppy with his separation anxiety. She taught us to be present, understand and respect our puppy’s feelings, and react accordingly. By lowering our thinking levels, we were able to transmit that calm to our dog to help him cope with his fear of being alone. Thank you so much for helping us deal with this. And, on top of that, her natural treats are our puppy’s favorites!”

— Clara S., Brickell, Florida, USA
“Veronica's remarkable dedication has transformed both Koa's life and mine. When Koa, a rescue dog burdened with overwhelming anxiety and emotional turmoil, entered our lives, Veronica stepped in with unparalleled expertise and compassion. From tailored dietary adjustments to profound emotional healing techniques like the "trust technique" and Reiki, Veronica orchestrated a holistic approach that nurtured Koa's inner peace and confidence. Today, Koa radiates tranquility and assurance, forging an unbreakable bond of happiness and connection between us. Veronica's angelic presence in our lives is a gift beyond measure, and for that, I am endlessly grateful.”

—Mauricio H., Miami, Florida, USA
“Veronica is a dedicated dog lover and , for lack of a better term, a dog “whisperer” but with professional credentials. She took my crazy, but loving pup and using the trust method was able to tap into his quiet place and use that to help me and my best friend bond and understand each other’s needs and feelings. Always a happy dog, he is now calmer and, if possible, more happy since her lessons.”

— Barimus B., Wellington, Florida, USA
"Our polo mare was uneasy and jumpy; very skittish to get on, and when you finally would, she would start her prancing routine. Veronica did her bodywork “magic” and in two sessions she was back to being her normal high performance polo pony again. Quite remarkable!”

— GR Ranch, Wellington, Florida, USA
"I can't help but thank you so much for opening a whole other world to me. I did a half hour meditation (Trust Technique) and Masterson on Raylan. This is what he looked like. (Shows video of her sleepy horse and horse laying down on stall next to him) And it even affected ta horse two stalls down who is normally hyper and pawing at the gate. Was laying down. 🙂 🙂 🙂 Love love love it. Have an awesome day!"

— Andrea G., Delray, Florida, USA

“Veronica is very professional and empathetic. She has described my cat behavior and even the house we lived in. I'm grateful for her services and her love and compassion. I never though this could be possible. It was an amazing experience!”

— Mayte A., Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA
“I have to thank Veronica for taking the time to look into my little girl’s spiritual side and helping me discover a lot about her so I can understand her behavior more and try to help her as much as I can I highly recommend her services if you have questions on why your little furry baby behave in a certain way or if you need help trying to understand them more and get closer to them. It is an amazing experience and a beginning of connecting with my baby in a different way.”

— Hada H., Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
“Veronica provided a spot on reading for my Yorkie. She is very intuitive and has a gift of connecting with your fur babies. She was able to confirm an issue we've been having with her along with other valuable information that I was happy to read. Highly recommend her services to connect with your fur babies!”

— Lisa W., Connecticut, USA
“I have a cat who is older and has malformation of the arms. Veronica is incredibly intuitive and was able to connect with him and understand what foods and supplements he would enjoy and benefit from. He has been more energetic and loves his new food! I am so thankful there are intuitive and caring people like Veronica helping animals and their people."

— Beth, Texas, USA
“Words cannot describe how breathtaking Barefoot Mama is. From beginning to finish, I am amazed! There were things she informed me about that I never knew myself. I adored every single moment of this service. It was as if her and my dogs had known each other their whole lives. Bringing my dogs here was the finest choice I’ve ever made. The service is so good that it’s unheard of! And I recommend this service to anyone.”

— Luis S., Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA
"You were so helpful with your session. My dog took on a better attitude & excitement after your session. I would & have recommended you to my clients as well. Please continue to help pet owners understand their pets."

—Bill P., Pompano Beach, FL, USA
"I felt even closer to my dog after his communication with Veronica. She was able to confirm things I knew about him as well as reveal some interesting new things. I was blown away when Veronica revealed that he didn't care for one particular person - he said she had "heavy energy". I didn't recognize who it was based on the physical description but when I told my partner about it, he knew immediately - it was the groomer who I had not previously met. I found this experience extremely valuable and one which I will treasure forever."

— Bill C., Los Angeles, California, USA
“I had gotten pretty frustrated with a horse I had in training. We just weren't getting through the way I normally do with a horse. Veronica told me she'd had a moment with him where he clearly communicated, “Just give me a minute!” So I figured I'd give him a little more time to work things out instead of always pushing him to get it right away. I started doing that in our training sessions, and things just started going a whole lot smoother. Turns out, he just needed a little more time. Sometimes you just gotta listen to the horse.”

— Donnie M., Loxahatchee, Florida, USA

Natural Treats, Herbs & Wellness Products Reviews

“We met Barefootmama about 2 years ago at a doggy event in downtown Miami. Getting to sample some of her healthy treats with my dogs was helpful. Needless to say my 2 lil fur babies are addicted and I order 20 bags every month or so. My dogs knows the cabinet I keep the treats and will beg for them after they eat. I have started calling these healthy treats "crack snacks" cause they are that addicting lol."

— Minnettia D., Miami, Florida, USA
