 Dr Johanna BVSc
Veterinarian

Dr Johanna grew up on a sheep property along the Yass River, where caring for animals was simply part of daily life. From a young age, she was hands-on with both pets and livestock, and that early bond with animals naturally led her toward a career in veterinary medicine. After time away for study and the start of her career, she's thrilled to be back in her hometown, doing what she loves.

Johanna holds a Bachelor of Veterinary Biology/Bachelor of Veterinary Science from Charles Sturt University. She’s passionate about serving the Yass Valley community and loves the variety of animals she gets to treat, alongside a supportive and tight-knit team.

Outside of the clinic, Johanna enjoys helping on the family farm, hiking, and reading. In 2024, she even completed the Pacific Crest Trail in the USA—a massive achievement that tested her endurance and spirit. At home, she has Ellie, her beautiful Border Collie x Coolie, and on the family farm, a lively group of working Kelpies and Tilly the Swedish Vallhund.

We're lucky to have Johanna on the team—she brings experience, compassion, and a love for both animals and the Yass community.

Dr Isabelle Spooner BVB, DVM
Veterinarian

Isabelle was born and raised in Canberra, growing up in the Woden Valley area. She spent six years in Sydney completing her Bachelor of Veterinary Biology and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Sydney—where she and Emma were classmates and often teamed up for practicals and assignments.

After finishing her studies, Isabelle returned to Canberra and worked at Weston Creek from 2022 until early 2025. She now brings her experience and passion to our team!

At home, Isabelle has two beloved dogs: Alex, a Jack Russell mix, and Jack, a Bichon Frise mix. They’re both older gents with a few health issues but still love a good cuddle.

Her professional interests lean more toward internal medicine than surgery, and she's especially eager to expand her skills in ultrasound.

Outside of work, Isabelle enjoys walks, model building, writing, painting, and playing games—whether it's tabletop or video games.

We're thrilled to have Isabelle on board!
