She has worked in small animal practice ever since in both Singapore and the UK.
With a passion for animal welfare, she established a sterilization programme for stray cats and dogs in Langkawi Malaysia which evolved into LASSie (Langkawi Animal Shelter and Sanctuary) Foundation, a non-profit dog and cat rescue organization.
As Max her rescue dog will confirm her first love is for cats, on which her work has been centered for the past 5 years. However, she now has come full circle returning to her roots in general practice and helping community animals of all types.

Dr Geetha is also a strong believer in alternative treatment modalities such as Reiki ,Essential oils ,Bach Flower remedies and Laser therapy to complement the traditional Western treatment options .
At the end of a long work day Dr Geetha looks forward to walks with Max and also watching her favourite Netflix series with her cats Kiko, Princess and Tommy by her side.
