Paying It Forward
Compassion Beyond the Classroom
At Animal Wellness Academy, compassion doesn’t stop with the animals and people in our immediate community.
We believe education, care, and opportunity can create change far beyond the classroom.
Christina Noble Foundation
.Each Christmas, we proudly support the Christina Noble Children’s Foundation, an independent international charity helping vulnerable children, families, and communities affected by poverty, exploitation, violence, and human trafficking.
Through education, healthcare, community development, and practical assistance, the foundation helps children reclaim their childhoods and gives communities the tools to build safer, more hopeful futures.
Supporting this work is one small way we can extend the values at the heart of AWA: compassion in action, meaningful care, and creating a better future for those who need it most.
Eco Warriors Program
Dr Elaine created the Eco Warriors Program to help bright, motivated students from Nusa Penida access education that can transform their futures and strengthen their communities.
Through direct sponsorship, scholarships, mentoring, and proceeds from the Eco Warriors eBook Bundle, the program helps cover tuition, learning resources, and everyday living costs for students pursuing careers in conservation, science, community health, and environmental care.
When you support Eco Warriors, you help create lasting change. You empower a student, strengthen their community, and become part of the positive impact Animal Wellness is committed to creating in the world.

Hello!
I'm Dr Elaine Cebuliak
A holistic veterinarian with over 20 years experience using practical, hands-on skills to help animals feel better and heal faster.
These courses teach the same therapeutic massage, acupressure and gentle bodywork techniques I've used in my own veterinary practice for more than 20 years to support animal comfort, healing, movement, range of motion and wellbeing.
Too often, people who care deeply about animals are left second-guessing themselves.
They notice stiffness, discomfort, changes in movement, or subtle shifts in behaviour - but they’re not always sure what those signs mean, what they can safely do, or when it’s time to seek further help.
That uncertainty can be frustrating, especially when generic online advice feels incomplete, overly simplified, or disconnected from real clinical practice.
Animal Wellness Academy was created to close that gap with credible, vet-led education that combines flexible online learning with practical, hands-on training.
