From a young age, my mother lovingly called me Dorina Doolittle, recognizing my deep connection with animals and my preference for their company. Animals have always been my truest companions, grounding me and enriching my life in countless ways.
I’m a mother to four wonderful sons and a bonus son, with four dogs and a cat completing our family. I also have my “outdoor pets,” including a loyal murder of crows that visits me daily, along with rabbits, squirrels, turtles, and just about any creature that crosses my path.
My journey with animals goes beyond companionship. I am a seer, gifted with strong intuition, vivid visions, and empathic sensitivity. I also possess clairalience—the ability to sense death through smell, which has helped me provide comfort and understanding in delicate moments.
Barkley’s Retreat is my tribute to my heart dog, Barkley, who passed away in April. He was my soul dog, and even now, I feel his guidance as my angel, inspiring me to share comfort and healing with others.
As a Holistic Animal Naturopath, Certified Animal Reiki Practitioner, and Reiki Master, my mission is to honor each animal’s unique spirit and foster harmony between animals and their people. Through naturopathy, Reiki, and intuitive healing, I aim to create a safe, nurturing space where wellness and connection flourish.
I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets, and to being a part of your wellness journey together.
