A Sound Bath Experience for You & Your Dog
A Different Kind of Wellness
Side by side with your dog.
Join us for a wellness experience unlike anything else in the pet world: Hound Bath, a soothing 45-minute sound bath designed for both you and your pup. Led by Dr. Valerie Ripperger, a holistic Naturopathic Doctor who specializes in animal wellness, this immersive session blends calming sound therapy with gentle energy work to help both ends of the leash unwind in perfect harmony.
Whether your dog struggles with anxiety or you just need a pause from the chaos of daily life, this peaceful session invites you both to breathe deeper, release stress, and bond more deeply—through the power of healing frequencies.
What To Expect
Meet & Greet – Ease in with a gentle introduction and let your dog get comfortable around other calm companions. This time helps everyone (furry and not-so-furry) settle in and feel safe.
Sound Bath – Side by side with your pup, you’ll relax into a serene soundscape featuring crystal singing bowls, soft drumming, and melodic chimes. Each tone is intentionally selected to soothe the nervous system—helping regulate your own energy while calming your dog’s in return.
You'll both leave feeling balanced, grounded, and deeply connected.

Why it matters
Hound Bath isn’t just about sound—it’s about creating space for calm. It’s for pet parents who want more than just a walk around the block. It’s for dogs who deserve deeper support, especially those who carry stress, trauma, or high sensitivity. It’s about showing up for your pet, and for yourself, in a healing and heart-centered way.

How She Helps Humans & Animals Heal
A deeper look at Dr. Valerie’s holistic approach to whole-body healing
Dr. Valerie brings a deeply intuitive and holistic approach to every session, tailoring her care to the unique needs of each client — whether they walk on two legs or four. Her work goes beyond symptom management, aiming to address the root causes of imbalance through a combination of physical, emotional, and energetic support.
Dr. Valerie specializes in identifying what she calls the “domino effect” — a chain of physical or emotional stressors that gradually lead the body out of alignment. By tracing those threads back to their source, she gently helps reset the body’s natural rhythm, supporting true healing from the inside out.
