About us

Impacting the lives of pets

Empowering animal friends and practitioners to restore & maintain their pet's health naturally.

our mission

At Huckleberry Holistic,
we teach from
experience and tradition

Our mission is to give you the knowledge and tools you need to provide your animals with the best possible holistic care. We teach from experience and tradition, making complex concepts accessible without simplifying what matters.

01

A wide variety of online courses

We offer a variety of online classes, including Holistic Nutrition for Pets, Herbalism for Pets, as well as the short courses From Bitter to Better & Detoxification for Dogs & Cats.
Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) is planned for the future.

02

Practical solutions and comprehensive course materials

You will leave each course with concrete tools you can apply immediately. Our detailed course notes are designed to support your learning long after the lesson ends, so you can return to them whenever you need guidance in practice.

03

Learn alongside others

Our online forums give students a space to share cases, ask questions, and think through problems together. In herbalism and holistic care, this kind of peer exchange deepens understanding in ways that solo study rarely can.

04

Learn at your own pace, in your own time

Our courses are structured to be thorough without being overwhelming. Whether you are a pet owner new to holistic thinking or a practitioner building on existing knowledge, you can move through the material at a pace that works for your life.
Our team

Meet your instructor

Huckleberry Holistic was built on decades of hands-on experience in traditional herbalism, holistic nutrition, and integrative animal care. Practice comes first, and that shapes how the courses are taught. The material is drawn from what actually works in the field, and student questions and cases continue to inform the thinking behind every course.

WHAT THEY THINK

Our students love us

“I am from Switzerland and successfully completed Swanie Simon's Holistic Nutrition for Dogs & Cats course in 2020. It's an exceptionally captivating course that delves deep into the subject matter.  Swanie places immense importance on ensuring students' grasp of the content, providing assistance at any time. I am proud to be a student of Swanie Simon.”

Manuela R.

“I thoroughly enjoyed learning about animal herbalism from Swanie Simon. The classes were engaging, full of useful information and the time flew by - I couldn't get enough. Like so many of her students, I am now "swanified" and looking forward to taking more of her classes in the future. Learning with her is practical and fun, she is endlessly patient in explaining things and answering all questions. I highly recommend any class that Swanie teaches. She is a true animal friend!”

Maria S.

“I have taken every class that Swanie has offered in Germany and am sad that they are over. The extra free classes doing case studies were extremely helpful for learning practical application of the material. The depth of knowledge and experience that Swanie has working with animals is apparent in every lesson. The information is practical, Swanie explains the difference between theory and practice so well. She has ideas for every difficulty that may arise and also covers typical problems that arise in practice, whether with the animals or their owners. You just don't learn these things in other courses. I would sign up for any class she teaches on any subject. Learning with Swanie is addictive!”

Sabine  W.

“I have now completed both the Holistic Nutrition for Dogs & Cats and the Practical Herbalism for Dogs & Cats courses. I never thought that learning could be so addictive and am always counting down the hours until the next lesson. Both courses provide an incredible amount of information as well as comprehensive scripts. Swanie is very passionate, which has made learning so easy for me. I am incredibly grateful to have received so much knowledge, which I have been able to apply successfully in practice many times.”
