Darla Rewers, DVM
There is a tangible link between the symptoms we see in animals and the people they live with. At her Seattle clinic, Dr. Darla Rewers not only treats animals, but also helps their caretakers discover their part in the wellness process.
A licensed veterinarian in Washington and California, Dr. Rewers is certified in veterinary acupuncture, tui na massage, and Chinese herbs, and has been practicing alternative therapies on domestic and exotic species since 2002. She is a 2002 graduate of University of Florida's College of Veterinary Medicine, where she was accepted as one of only ten out-of-state students amongst thousands of applicants. She earned her acupuncture certifications from the Chi Institute (Reddick, Florida with Dr. Huisheng Xie) and the American Institute of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (Seattle, WA with Dr. Richard Panzer).
After practicing at very busy clinics in Florida, Dr. Rewers moved to the Greater Puget Sound Area in 2005. She moved Ancient Arts Holistic Veterinary Services to its current location in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle in July 2008.
Dr. Rewers uses acupuncture, Chinese herbs, massage, nutrition, and other gentle healing modalities to create an overall natural treatment plan for your pet. She also teaches Qi Gong meditation and art intentionality workshops to humans to help themselves and their pets.
Schedule an appointment to have your pet evaluated for acupuncture or other holistic wellness options. If you are in the Seattle area, visit the center to view Dr. Rewers' artwork, which is on display and for sale at Ancient Arts.

Jennifer Regis, DVM
Dr. Jennifer Regis has always loved learning and is a self-professed "science nerd." Since she can remember, she has been reading about the animal kingdom and learning how different animals are related to each other. Much to her mother's chagrin, Dr. Regis began caring for neighborhood strays and inheriting other people's pets at a young age. Her nurturing nature and love of natural science grew into a passion for veterinary medicine, and by high school, a career goal.
Dr. Regis volunteered at the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston and worked as a veterinary assistant at Angell Memorial Animal Hospital (now Angell Animal Medical Center) prior to veterinary school. She received her BA in Biology with a minor in Anthropology from Boston University in 2004 and her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Florida in 2008. She is certified in veterinary acupuncture, veterinary food therapy and Tui Na (Chinese massage) and is currently pursuing a Masters of Science in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine at the Chi Institute in Reddick, FL. In 2010, she was awarded the "Animal Hero Award" by Stand Up For Animals.
Dr. Regis' special interests include acupuncture for internal medicine and food therapy. Her long-term goal is to practice fully integrative medicine, incorporating both Eastern and Western medical approaches to provide the best care for her patients.
In her spare time, Dr. Regis enjoys hiking and yoga and would love to run a marathon someday. She greatly enjoys music including singing and going to live performances, and truly believes in the power music has to soothe the soul. She lives with her very rambunctious dog, Midori.

Hank Snelgrove, DVM (Relief Veterinarian)
|
Dr. Snelgrove has been in the veterinary profession for over 40 years, practicing conventional Western medicine almost all of that time. In the last 8 years, however, because Western medicine offered no cures for many problems, he became interested in what Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine could teach him. TCVM, with acupuncture, herbal medications, food therapy, and Tui Na massage, has offered some alternatives.
After traveling through China 10 times and attending a veterinary college in Lanzhou, China, he took courses with the Chi Institute in Florida and became accredited in acupuncture in 2009. He attended further courses in TCVM, attaining his Certificate of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine Practitioner in 2012. He has since attended TCVM continuing education courses in Florida, California, and Spain. Dr. Snelgrove now practices an integrative approach to veterinary medicine using both Eastern and Western techniques. When patients come to him, he reflexively examines them in both modalities to try to ascertain the heart of their disease. |
