The heart behind Zemvelo Life

Chanel Riemer

Chanel has been an avid equestrian for as long as she can remember.
Originally from South Africa, her love for horses led her to England, then Germany, where she met her husband. Currently, they are in the USA where they own and operate a sport horse training facility.
​They’ve shared their lives with horses, dogs, cats, and chickens.

​Chanel is a Certified dōTERRA Essential Oil Specialist, and is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Naturopathic Animal Science.

What got Chanel interested in natural health & wellness? 
From a young age, Chanel has always been interested in healing and medicine, specifically for animals.
Through her mother’s own battle with illness, she observed how powerful integrating natural and allopathic methods can be and by doing this her mother managed to turn an expected 6 months into 6 years.
She accompanied her mother to an integrative clinic, tucked away in the Alps of Austria. The clinic focused on the whole mind and body; everything from the meals they specifically prepared for each individual's needs, to meditation, cryotherapy, chemotherapy, qigong, intravenous light therapy, and many more. It was a fascinating and eye-opening experience that stuck with Chanel.
Personally, Chanel became intrigued with the natural therapies and this is what then led her to her studies in Naturopathic Animal Science.
