Dr. Shaw

Since her graduation from Veterinary Medical School with a focus on aquatic animal medicine; Dr. Shaw has dedicated her career to the wellbeing of animals wild and free. (And to those living with humans too).

During her field time as an aquatic animal veterinarian; Dr. Shaw has worked with migrating sea birds, Hawaiian green sea turtles, fishes, and endangered marine mammal species, such as the Hawaiian monk seal (HMS), among others. Playing a pivotal role in the success of the HMS Critter Cam project, and other telemetry studies, Dr. Shaw facilitated further understanding of the habits of the HMS as well as protection of their prey species, foraging/feeding grounds, and pupping habitat.

More recently becoming acutely aware of the severity of the world’s animal overpopulation crisis, Dr. Shaw has turned her attention and energy towards this dilemma, which threatens animal welfare as well as human health.

Compassionately crusading for humane population reduction and health care for those animals, often otherwise uncared for, become the main direction of her career before 2020. She has put together large volume reproductive control clinics (and joined others already doing so) in Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Indonesia, India, Nepal, Samoa, and domestically as well.

When not crusading for animals overseas, Dr. Shaw can be found on Kauai, practicing holistic medicine. Dr. Shaw uses rehabilitation and regenerative medical modalities such as: acupuncture, chiropractic, energy medicine, healing laser, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, regenerative injection therapies, deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and nutrition, to enhance the quality of life of her patients.

Dr. Shaw firmly believes it’s not just about adding years to their lives but adding quality to those years…

In her free time she enjoys swimming, sailing, scuba, surfing, traveling, learning foreign languages, practicing and teaching yoga as well as dabbling in the kitchen.
