Check out: Rithaler Consulting

Rithaler Consulting was established to connect local business owners with their intended target audience. As someone who has owned multiple local businesses, I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to effectively market your business online. I learned through trial and error what works and what doesn't. After the successful sale of my last business in 2024, I decided to focus all my efforts learning more about SEO, Google Ads, Meta Ads, and AI, and now I implement proven strategies for local businesses in Kamloops and abroad.

Meet Chains of the Phoenix!

Crafted from Rings, Rooted in Lore, Fire & Shadow : Chains to bind, loose and empower

Welcome, traveler.

I’m Phoenix — a chainmaille artist, poet, and lifelong healer with roots in English, Irish, and Norse tradition.

After decades as a pharmacist & first aid instructor along with being a published poet, I now forge wearable art that blends ancient craft with modern magic — each piece an echo of myth, strength, and transformation.

My work draws from Celtic knots, Norse runes, and the wild elegance of fantasy realms — dragons, phoenixes, and forgotten goddesses. You’ll find steel, copper, magnets, lore-bound packaging, and designs that feel like armor or talismans.

Based in the mountains of British Columbia, I craft each piece by hand — sometimes under moonlight, sometimes to the hum of cats purring nearby.

Whether you wear chainmaille as adornment, protection, or a small act of rebellion, I hope it brings you power.

“Chains may bind — or they may empower. Choose your path wisely.”

Meet Cuddles and Trails Pet Services

"What makes your business unique?
Cuddles & Trails Pet Services isn’t just about feeding and walking — it’s about creating genuine connections with pets and peace of mind for their owners. We bring a personal, hands-on approach to every visit, treating each animal as if they were our own. Plus, with both Shawn and I certified in Pet First Aid through the Canadian Red Cross, safety is always at the top of our list.

How did this business start?
It started with a simple truth — we’ve always been “animal people.” Between raising our own cats (including our mischievous Sphynx, Pig) and helping friends and family care for their pets, we realized there was a real need in Kamloops for reliable, friendly, and flexible pet care. What began as a passion quickly grew into a licensed and insured business that serves our community with heart.

What is the nature of the business? What do you sell? What services do you provide?
We’re a local, family-run pet care service offering:

Dog walking (solo or same household group)

Cat visits and care

Overnight in-home pet sitting

Pet drop-ins and potty breaks

Administering medications

Plant watering and basic home checks while you’re away

We don’t sell products — we sell peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, loved, and cared for when you can’t be there.

What is the business philosophy?
We believe in care without compromise. Every pet deserves to feel loved and secure, and every owner deserves updates and trust in who they’ve hired. Our approach blends professionalism with warmth, so clients get the best of both worlds — dependable service and a genuine love for animals.

About me
I’m Kelly, a born-and-raised Canadian and long-time Kamloops local. When I’m not out walking pups or snuggling cats, I work as a Nursing Unit Assistant in the labor and delivery unit at Royal Inland Hospital. I know the value of trust, compassion, and attention to detail — and I bring that same energy to caring for pets. My husband Shawn and I run Cuddles & Trails together, and as a fellow Kamloops resident, I’m proud to support other local businesses, be involved in our community, and keep tails wagging all over town."
