I’m Jan Schilling. I’m one of the lucky few who have gotten to live my dream. I decided when I was very young that I wanted to be a veterinarian when I grew up.
What I didn’t know was that at that time Wisconsin didn’t have a veterinary school and only thirteen Wisconsin residents were admitted to the University of Minnesota, College of Veterinary Medicine each year.
On my second try I landed one of the coveted spots and started the long slog through vet school.
Since my graduation in 1981 I have worked in a typical small dairy farm/small animal practice, been dairy farmer (love those Brown Swiss!) and since 1997 have practiced complementary veterinary medicine for all species of domestic (and sometimes non-domestic) animals.
The Veterinary Spinal Manipulation, Acupuncture and Qigong Energy Balancing I do now have allowed me to help animals that often aren’t responsive enough to conventional veterinary medicine. Helping and healing animals is a compulsion as well as my livelihood, I can’t NOT do it.
