She later completed Tui Na (a form of massage based on acupuncture points) and herbal training and most recently added nutritional knowledge to her repertoire.  Bargersville Veterinary Hospital and Wellness Center was founded by Dr. Baker in February 2003. As a full family project, she remodeled a house into a comfortable and state-of-the-art hospital, made successful by a caring staff and great clients.   She lives locally with her 12 dogs, 3 horses, and 9 cats including the resident cats at the hospital.
