While working locally, she completed advanced training in canine rehabilitation through the Canine Rehabilitation Institute and veterinary acupuncture through the Chi University.  Learning never ends, and since opening Coastal Veterinary Rehabilitation & Acupuncture in 2018, Dr. Staple has continued to pursue additional professional certifications.
