Today’s post is a long overdue review of the latest book by Tallgrass Animal Acupressure Institute founders Amy Snow and Nancy Zidonis. Acu-Dog – A Guide to Canine Acupressure is essentially a new and revised edition of The Well-Connected Dog (which I reviewed here a few years ago), and this version is printed in color [...]

It’s been a while since we featured a school here on AMG, but today, we have an interview with Lola Michelin, founder and Director of Education of The Northwest School of Animal Massage (NWSAM), located in Vashon, WA. The Northwest School of Animal Massage was founded in 2001 in response to the growing demand for approved [...] Once again, the holidays are almost behind us and it’s time to get back to business. Workshop activity is picking up a bit again, and I am also in the process of updating the visiting courses for 2012 (listed at the end of each country’s school list). I should be done with that in the [...] After we lost our dog Sadie to cancer earlier this fall, it seems like we hear from friends whose pets (and/or human family members) have been diagnosed with the disease every other day. I knew of course that cancer claims many victims among both humans and animals every year, but it seems like it’s getting [...] This is the shortest events and workshops list we have had here so far. Partly because everyone is taking some much needed time off to focus on the holiday festivities (and hopefully get some rest too), and partly because I decided to adjust the lists so that they run per calendar year. So this list [...] Today’s post is a review of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Crystals by Karen Ryan, who was the featured practitioner in the Crystal Healing for Animals post (also see Using Crystals with Cows for tips from Karen on how to use crystals in barns). Karen is the founder of The Crystal Tiger in Mississauga, Ontario and [...] Today’s post is about chiropractic in general and animal chiropractic in particular. I know many people who swear by chiropractic as the optimal way to stay healthy (the veterinarian where I did my massage internship used to take the whole family, including her infant, to see a chiropractor regularly). I am also a big fan, [...] Today’s post is an interview with Carla Meeske, shamanic healer and animal communicator. Carla has been a professional Shaman for over 10 years and teaches shamanic healing and animal communication workshops all over the country. She also offers one-on-one training, webinars, and is the author of the book The Calico Shaman and the DVD Speak [...] How quickly the summers go by (even if they’re horrible like mine was). Fall is already here and with it, an abundance of classes and workshops. As always, if you know of an event that belongs on this list, please contact me and I will add it. October is All photos © Cattie Coyle You may have noticed that things have been slow here at AMG lately. I wish I could say I took the summer off and traveled to exotic locations (or at least Europe), but sadly, that was not the case. Earlier this summer, our girl Sadie was diagnosed with cancer. By the [...] Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field Therapy, or PEMF, is not a new thing. People started experimenting with using electrical currents on various conditions as far back as the 1700s, but it wasn’t until the 1950s that scientists seriously started researching electricity’s bone-healing properties. PEMF treatment on fractures in people begun in the 1970s – today, it is [...] We live in the northeastern US and have a lot of ticks, even in the city. We used to put Frontline on (our dog) Sadie (I know, bad, bad, bad, but we didn’t know better) but stopped after a few summers because it became increasingly difficult for me to put something I knew was toxic [...] Summer is here and it’s finally feeling like it in Massachusetts. After a cold and rainy June, we’re now enjoying sunshine and 90+ temperatures (at least I’m enjoying it – I’ll take that any day over snow!). There are plenty of classes and workshops in August and September, although noticeably fewer than earlier in the [...] Today’s post is about craniosacral work, a therapy that I have been curious about for a long time now, and just recently tried for myself. I grind my teeth in my sleep (pretty badly, I have cracked several) and wanted to see if craniosacral therapy could help. At the time I’m writing this, I have [...] It’s been a cold and rainy spring here in the Northeast, but hopefully the worst of it is over and we can look forward to a warm and dry summer. There are lots of various holistic health training opportunities in the next few months, and as always, if you know of an event that belongs [...] In October of 2009, our Scottie Sadie was diagnosed with Cushing’s disease. It was discovered by chance – she had her yearly checkup in early October and our vet found that she had an inflammation in her mouth and needed to have a few teeth removed. Her blood test showed elevated liver enzymes, which our [...] I think many people don’t realize quite how powerful alternative therapies can be. “Everybody” knows that massage helps relieve stiff and sore muscles and loosen up scar tissue, but it can also be a tremendous help with a slew of other conditions, both physical and psychological. We have talked about what massage is exactly earlier [...] Winter is pretty much done, and I saw the first snowdrops and crocuses just last week. It feels like we’re all coming out of hibernation and there are lots of classes and workshops to choose from all over the US and Canada. And, for the first time, events in the UK are included on the [...] Today’s featured therapy is Healing Touch for Animals, an energy healing modality which at first (and second) glance seems very similar to Reiki, but there are some differences between the two, as you will see further down in the post. What is Healing Touch for Animals®? Healing Touch for Animals, or HTA, was created by Carol Komitor [...] |
