At the heart of AnimaSol is the founder, Jackie Jolie, whose lifelong dedication to animals, especially horses, led her to a distinguished career in equine and canine bodywork. With a Bachelor's in Equine Health and Rehabilitation, Jackie's 15-year journey has been shaped by her belief in natural healing processes. Her personal turning point came in 2018 after a diagnosis of Lyme disease, which she overcame through natural treatments and a light-enhanced lifestyle. This experience led her to get certified in Quantum Biology to understand deeper how light, water, and magnetism drive the body’s function and overall health. The insight of realizing that light is the foundation all health brought the birth of AnimaSol and our groundbreaking red/infrared light therapy blankets for animals. Jackie's vision for AnimaSol transcends animal healthcare; it's about enlightening others on the transformative effects of light on overall wellness.
