Meet Monique Esberry | Holistic Animal Healer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Monique Esberry and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Monique, maybe we can start at the very start – the idea – how did you come up with the idea for your business?
I’ve always had a passion for skincare, hair care, and business development in sales. My journey into organic skincare for animals began unexpectedly when I rescued a pigeon that had suffered a serious skin injury from a hawk. I applied a product I had originally made for myself, and to my surprise, it soothed the pigeon’s skin and helped him heal. After being evaluated by a veterinarian, the pigeon was released back into the wild without any medication—only the help of my product. That experience showed me I was on to something special.

A month later, I used the same product to help my uncle, who had suffered a severe third-degree burn while barbecuing. The ointment prescribed by his doctors wasn’t relieving his pain, so he turned to my product during a vacation. After using it for six months, his arm completely healed, with no visible signs of the burn. It was then that I realized I had created something truly powerful, and I was inspired to explore how I could help both pets and people with skin conditions.

Shortly after, I visited the Max Fund No Kill Animal Shelter to volunteer and met a pit bull mix named Macey. She had severe skin allergies, alopecia, watery eyes, and irritated skin. Although the shelter’s veterinarian initially declined to try my product, the vet techs applied it to Macey’s skin and saw immediate improvements. After several visits, the veterinarian finally agreed to let Macey use the product long-term. I watched as Macey’s coat transformed—her skin healed, her fur grew back, and she was eventually adopted. That was the moment I knew I was meant to help more animals with my skincare products.

I believe I have a special ability to heal, rooted in my own experiences as a survivor of child abuse and domestic violence. While these are difficult topics to discuss, they are more common than many people realize. These challenges opened me up to a deeper understanding of the paranormal world, where I help spirits transition to the other side, and also gave me the gift of receiving messages from plants and animals. I often receive dreams and messages about the health challenges they face and how plants can help. Plants are constantly communicating with us if we take the time to listen, and they’ve guided me in creating my formulas.

My connection to plants began when I was a child. After sustaining a third-degree burn on my ear, my mother treated it with aloe vera, cocoa butter, and vitamin E. Those plants restored my ear’s health, and I developed a special bond with our aloe vera plant, which I felt loved and protected me. During an abusive relationship, I had another aloe vera plant, and I felt it was trying to heal me. Unfortunately, my boyfriend knocked over the plant and killed it, but I remained determined to harness its healing powers. I began studying herbs, learning how they could heal skin and hair, which had suffered dramatically during that time.

After I broke free from that relationship, I embarked on a journey of self-healing and discovery. It was then that I created my first skincare topical, which worked wonders for my own hair and skin, and even helped my mother’s hair grow back and thicken. About a year later, I rescued that pigeon using the same product.

In 2018, a grasshopper flew into my bedroom at a pivotal moment when I was asking myself whether I should attend an event to sell my skincare product. I took it as a sign to step out in faith, and I ended up selling many products. That was the beginning of my business, and I’m forever grateful to that little grasshopper for encouraging me.

Despite facing opposition from people who believe only what their veterinarians tell them, I’ve stayed committed to my purpose. My work speaks for itself. I’ve expanded my product line to include eye drops, organic soaps, supplements, and calming treats. My system addresses multiple skin issues, especially “hot paws,” and my customers tell me it’s the only product that effectively resolves it.

Over the years, my products have helped not just dogs and cats, but also horses, squirrels, birds, reptiles, and more. I’ve saved customers thousands of dollars by offering remedies that address various issues in one bottle. One unexpected benefit is the natural calming effect my products have on pets. When applied and massaged into their coat, animals often relax and lie down, without the use of CBD. I believe it’s the carefully balanced formula that nourishes their skin in ways they’ve never experienced before.

I’m proud of what I’ve built and honored to continue helping animals feel comfortable, relaxed, and loved. Even if your pet has perfect skin and paws, a treatment with my products will make them feel amazing!

What should our readers know about your business?
What has helped me succeed in my field is my deep faith in myself, my connection with nature, and our higher power. Since the age of 8, I’ve had vivid dreams about planets and spiritual warfare. My fascination with planets and stars sparked a lifelong desire to learn more about space. At 12, my parents bought me a telescope, and I began studying the moon, Saturn, Mars, and various constellations. My love for space grew so much that I once thought I’d become an astronaut.

In addition to exploring space as a teenager, I experienced more prophetic dreams—some about people’s lives and others about tragic events, like murders and pets passing away with their owners. Some of these dreams were unbearably intense, but I used them as opportunities to pray for the spirits I encountered.

During this time, I also suffered from sleep paralysis and night terrors. I had irrational fears, like God sending angels to scare me at night, and I could often feel strange presences in our home. My Siamese cat, Mogray, was my protector. He had been abused and neglected before we rescued him, and I helped nurse him back to health when I was 13. Mogray struggled with severe stomach issues and could only eat one type of food without vomiting, which inspired me later in life to create treats for pets with dietary restrictions. He was fearless, often chasing orbs around the house and growling at invisible things, which gave me a sense of peace.

Mogray also appeared in a deeply meaningful dream that involved angels and my life’s purpose—a story I’ll share in the future. My night terrors eventually became day terrors, and I would often have out-of-body experiences during sleep paralysis, where I could see dark energies trying to enter my body. But I also heard my angels fighting to protect me. The more faith I had, the stronger my angels became, and I could even hear the dark energy being defeated. These experiences at 17 introduced me to spiritual warfare and heightened my awareness of paranormal activity, astral travel, and prophetic dreams.

These spiritual encounters fueled my desire to help animals suffering from anxiety or restlessness, particularly those affected by negative energy in their homes. That’s why I use sage in my skincare products—not only for its pleasant scent but also to positively charge a pet’s aura.

My entire brand is about comforting and calming pets because I know what it’s like to be deprived of that peace. My sleep paralysis stopped when I was 30, after enduring a domestic violence relationship in a haunted house near a cemetery. I learned to rely on nature and animals to get through those times.

Growing up in Colorado, I also dealt with severe allergies—swollen eyes, constant sneezing, and eczema. These experiences taught me the importance of creating hypoallergenic products for pets with sensitive skin. I know firsthand how certain soaps can cause painful breakouts, just as some pets react to specific products. I also suffered from poor dental health as a child, enduring painful treatments. This understanding of oral pain led me to create an organic gum cleaner for pets, which reduces inflammation, kills bacteria, freshens breath, and even relieves discomfort. Many pet owners have shared how much they appreciate this product, with some even using it on themselves.

My personal experiences have shaped me into a master in my field, one who relies on intuition and research beyond textbooks. Though I graduated with a 3.96 GPA from the University of Michigan and worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Social Research, it’s my ability to research and compare case studies that has helped me develop my products and build my business. I’ve dedicated myself to learning about herbs and identifying harmful medications given to pets, so I can offer natural, effective alternatives that truly make a difference.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would take my friend to the mountains, away from the city. There, you will find tranquility and peace. Estes Park is one of my favorite places to go as you will see elk and other wild life. It is peaceful and the town is filled with great eateries and tourist shop. Hiking in Estes Park makes one feel less stressed out in life and forces you to become one with the peace and stillness nature gives.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
