Crystal Lord | Director
Dr Crystal Healing Vet Clinic

Dr Crystal Lord graduated in 2012 and after 2 years in general practice she continued to see the same diseases being treated by conventional medicine without getting to the root of the disease- this has drove her to start her studies in complimentary medicine starting with Veterinary Chinese Medicine then transitioing to a fully integrtive clinic. Here she the went on to study Veterinary acupuncture through IVAS and also lernt how to treart complex and chronic cases with westernal herbal medicne, neutraceuticals and food therapy. After a business partnership breakdown she branched off and became the Director of Dr Crystal's Healing Vet Clinic, where she leads the clinic’s strategic direction and commitment to compassionate, high-quality veterinary care. With a focus on supporting both animal wellbeing and the people who care for them and a big intertest in how disease is often mirroed between owner and animal. Dr Crystal brings a leadership perspective shaped by the evolving needs of modern veterinary practice. Having her own clinici also put Dr Crystal in a position to seek further education and she is one of only a few vets globally mentored and trained in Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM) which predates Tradtional Chinese Medicine by hundeds of years - focussing on 62 meridians vs the 12 that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) utilises. This has enabled to Dr Crystal to treat even more complex and chronic cases with confidence while navigating her ever evolving veterinary practice.

At The VET Expo 2027, Crystal will contribute to conversations on innovation, performance and excellence across the veterinary community, sharing insights from her experience guiding a veterinary clinic in a dynamic and increasingly connected profession.
