Today we have a guest post that talks about an ailment I think many animal owners can relate to – allergies. In this case study, the practitioner uses acupressure (which I have described in more depth in my earlier “Alternative Healing Modality: Acupressure” post) to alleviate the allergies of a horse. Yes, horses have allergies too. [...] This case study comes from Aileen D’Angelo, founder and owner of Hoof, Paw & Claw in Northborough, Massachusetts. Aileen is a Reiki Master and teacher and has been practicing Reiki since 1996. She is also an animal communicator and a certified Canine Trigger Point Myotherapist. A member of the Animal Wellness Association, a a Registered Reiki [...] I have recently added a whole bunch of new schools to the various school lists, and wanted to highlight them here in a separate post (they have a “New” tag next to them on the lists so they’re easy to find). I also wanted to mention a new feature here on AMG, which I added a [...] I am writing this in the beginning of July and as I’m looking at the dates, I can’t believe that summer is almost over already. Why does it always go by so fast and why can’t summer last for 9 months and the rest be squished into 3? Well, I guess we better enjoy it [...] Many people would be surprised to learn that practitioners of alternative and complementary medicine not only focus on people’s pets, but also wildlife, zoo, and farm animals. It’s important to not forget about them, or take them for granted. They are living beings with feelings and emotions just like us, and deserve to be treated [...] Today, we have a guest post from Jodi McLaughlin, who was our featured practitioner in the Acupressure post (where there is also a detailed description of an acupressure session she performed on her rabbit, Diego). Jodi, a Certified Holistic Small Animal Massage Practitioner, is the founder of The Blissful Bunny Massage Workshops. She has written many [...] Today, I am looking for your help. I love hearing from all of you who visit and read this blog. It is such a treat to get emails with comments and questions, and today I got one of the more unusual ones so far. This question is from Leah, who is writing a book and is looking [...] There are lots and lots of classes and workshops all around the country in the next few months – I think this is our longest list yet. Enjoy! June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month As always, if you know of an event that belongs on this list, please [...] This is another therapy that I knew nothing about before starting to investigate it. I have used crystals for Feng Shui purposes in my home (as directed by a practitioner), but other than that, I just thought they were pretty. But it turns out they’re powerful too. Meet Karen Ryan Today’s post comes from Karen Ryan, founder [...] Today’s featured alternative health modality is canine hydrotherapy (a.k.a. canine water therapy). Different forms of hydrotherapy for humans have been around for thousands of years – ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans all used it to improve their health, spirits and general well-being. Equine hydrotherapy, in particular using cold sea water on leg injuries, has been practiced [...] Today’s alternative healing modality is acupuncture. As I mentioned in my post about NAET, I’ve been getting acupuncture for allergies for over a year, and it’s helping! And even though I always think the needles hurt going in, the feeling afterwards is totally worth the pain. I feel awake and alert and incredibly calm at [...] I got an email from a reader who is trying to decide on which animal massage school to attend. It is a very difficult choice to make, and we decided to post her question and my answer, hoping it would help others who are undecided as well. Also, if you have attended a massage school and [...] I have to confess that I did not know anything at all about Shamanism before starting this series of posts, but what I have learned is fascinating. And now I want to know who my power animal is! What Is Shamanic Healing? Shamanism has been practiced for thousands of years by people all over the world. The [...] There is always new research out there, so many products you’ve never heard of, and so much to learn when it comes to pet health. And if you’re working as an animal health provider (of any kind) it’s especially important to stay on top of what’s going on. Here are my favorite resources for keeping up [...] Today’s spotlight is on TTouch, a type of bodywork that helps animals with all kinds of problems, both physical and psychological. I took a weekend workshop in TTouch for dogs at Bancroft School of Massage a few years ago (with Leea, who is our featured practitioner today), and I was really amazed at the effect it [...] Today’s featured alternative health modality is animal communication. I have long been fascinated with it – being able to talk to animals sounds like a childhood dream! I always assumed you had to have a special gift in order to be able to do it, but the good news is that everyone has the ability to talk [...] New schools, classes and workshops keep popping up all the time, and these are the latest additions (more info on each can be found on the list for each country): USA The Gurney Institute of Animal Communication, Agoura, CA Spring is finally here, and activity is picking up everywhere. I think we’re all feeling more alive and ready to expand our horizons this time of year. There is an abundance of opportunities to learn everything from animal massage to Shamanic healing in the next few months; this is the longest list of classes and [...] I think most people know what massage is at this point. Many have experienced it for themselves and know firsthand the wonderful effects it can have on your health and general well-being. I have often found, however, that there is a huge misconception about massage for animals. Many think that is is just an unnecessary spa [...] Today’s post is about Acupressure. We had a number of classes in it when I was at Bancroft, but I have to confess that at the time, I was so focused on learning massage that I found it a bit overwhelming to look at health from a TCM perspective, which is pretty different from the [...] |
