In my previous post searching for definitions of the various terms describing health care modalities that fall outside of the conventional Western system, we looked at Alternative, Complementary, CAM/CAVM and eCAM. In today’s post, we will take a closer look at the definitions of holistic, integrative, allopathic, conventional and traditional medicine. Holistic Medicine What is the difference [...] The practitioner list for Canada is divided into the different provinces, just like the school list. If you are a practitioner and would like to be listed here, please fill out the contact form and make sure to include: The business name (and your name if you would like it included) I am constantly struggling with which of the words in the title to choose when labeling posts and therapies (and the entire blog for that matter). Turns out I am not the only one – there is a lot of confusion surrounding these terms. I’ve been meaning to write this post for a long time, and [...] I just this past weekend realized that today marks the fourth anniversary of Animal Massage Guide! I can’t believe it’s been that long since I started this blog, which I did on a whim, really. I had no idea how to set up a blog, install plugins, add photos and links, or even how to [...] Today’s post is a guest post from Julie Lines, founder and owner of Voice of the Animals in Newton Solney, Staffordshire, England. Julie is an animal communicator and she started Voice of the Animals to raise awareness about the importance of animals and to show how we can create better relationships with them and re-establishing [...] As I mentioned in the Events & Workshops list for for March and April, I am still building up the list of regularly scheduled workshops and classes in the UK, so please let me know if you know of any that belong on this list. May Birds are singing, lilacs are in bloom and I’m wearing flip flops – spring is here and with it lots of events and fun things to do. It has been a record warm season here in the Northeast and apparently the pollen count is extremely high. Happily, it seems like the NAET treatments I got [...] I was recently contacted by Brooke Marsh, who is an Animal Physiotherapist based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. The term Animal Physiotherapy was new to me (a bit of research revealed that it’s called Veterinary Rehabilitation, Animal Rehabilitation, or Animal Physical Therapy here in the US) and I asked Brooke if she would be [...] Today’s post is an interview with (and case studies from) Reading-based (UK) Reiki Master / Teacher, human and animal Aromatherapist Chrissie Slade. Chrissie is the founder and owner of Gorgeous Guineas, the world’s first company to create aromatherapy products specifically developed for guinea pigs. Since March is Adopt a Guinea Pig month, I thought it [...] The practitioner list for Europe is divided into different countries, just like the school list. If you are a practitioner and would like to be listed here, please fill out the contact form and make sure to include: The business name (and your name if you would like it included) The Shelter Animal Reiki Association was founded in 2008 by Kathleen Prasad (who is also the founder of Animal Reiki Source and the featured practitioner in the first Reiki post here on AMG) and Leah D’Ambrosio, Animal Reiki practitioner, Reiki teacher and a volunteer with the Humane Society Silicon Valley. Leah D'Ambrosio Kathleen and Leah started SARA [...] As I mentioned in my post yesterday, I decided to split up the Events & Workshops lists into US/Canada and the UK. There is so much going on in the next few months that keeping them all together would result in a ridiculously long list, plus I think this makes more sense. As you can see, [...] After what has been one of the weather-wise best winters ever in my opinion (no snow, only a few days below freezing), it’s starting to feel like spring. Every morning, the birds are singing outside my window, and there is a glimmer of daylight left when I leave work in the evening. It really does [...] Zoopharmacognosy is the scientific term for the fascinating way that animals self-medicate with the help of plants. The term was coined by biochemist Dr. Eloy Rodriguez, Professor at Cornell University, and anthropologist Richard Wrangham of Harvard, and comes from the Greek “zoo” (meaning animal), “pharmaco” (remedy) and “gnosy” (knowing). Animals in the wild have been using [...] 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 [...]  |
