Dr. Halbert, founder of Eden Veterinary, is a Cornell-trained veterinarian, veterinary acupuncturist, IFS practitioner, and grief coach offering something rare—deeply attuned, integrative veterinary care that supports both pet and person.

​

Her work blends Eastern and Western medicine with emotional presence, honoring the human-animal bond through acupuncture, preventive care, ceremonial euthanasia, and grief support. She founded Eden Veterinary to create more than a clinic—she built a sanctuary where healing happens at home.

Dr. Halbert’s career has taken her across the globe—providing veterinary support in international clinics and outreach efforts, as well as leading an online global meditation community.

Her care philosophy is informed by extensive training and certifications in HeartMath (Certified Practitioner), Reiki (Level 1), Yoga (Certified Yoga Instructor), Internal Family Systems Therapy (Level II), veterinary acupuncture, and peaceful euthanasia.

Outside of her veterinary work, Shanina is a dynamic soul: you’ll often find her playing beach volleyball, rock climbing, singing in community circles, or laughing with friends over a board game. Known for her grounded energy and heart-led presence, she brings joy and intention into every interaction. Her beloved cat Andy—who receives regular acupuncture at home—is her daily reminder of the love and healing power between animals and their people.
