Adria is a Portland native that joined our staff while completing an internship through Goucher College, where she earned her Bachelors of Science degree in Biology in 2006.
She has moved back to Portland and currently resides with her family in Lake Oswego. Last fall, the Fix family welcomed our former clinic kitty, Luna, into their home and they report that after establishing herself as the queen, Luna has graciously agreed to allow them to stay. Adria also has a horse named Bren that she has raised, trained and shown for the past few years. When not working at Holistic Pet Vet Clinic, you can be sure to find Adria in the saddle as she not only rides for pleasure, but acts as a professional riding instructor and horse trainer. Her other hobbies include painting and photography and her greatest ambitions include operating a rescue organization for neglected horses that need a new start in life and to travel the world!

Rose is a Portland native who has been surrounded by alternative medicine throughout most of her life. Attuned as a Reiki master by her own mother, her ultimate dream is to operate a holistic retreat center in the woods with her mom.

If you stop by the clinic, you will undoubtedly want to have a dose of Rose's incredibly bubbly laughter as her smiling face greets you in the reception area! |
