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 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 [...] Today’s post is a review of a DVD I recently had the pleasure to watch: Introduction to Small Animal Acupressure by Amy Snow and Nancy Zidonis, founders and owners of Tallgrass Animal Acupressure. I have been a fan of their book “The Well-Connected Dog” for a long time (and written about it before on this blog, [...] For those who have not read my earlier post on the National Board of Certification for Animal Acupressure (NBCAAM), it was established in 2008 on the initiative of Amy Snow and Nancy Zidonis of of Tallgrass Animal Acupressure Institute. Their goal was to establish professional standards for animal massage and acupressure practitioners and, in their [...] Summer is behind us and the days are quickly getting shorter. Here in the Northeast, the air has already taken on a fall-like feel and more and more leaves are gathering on the sidewalks.

I wrote about both acupressure and Jodi in more depth in my previous post, [...] Today we have a guest post that talks about an ailment I think many animal owners can relate to – allergies.

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 [...] The National Board of Certification for Animal Acupressure and Massage (NBCAAM) was established in 2008 and is the first organization of its kind in the US. The initiative to create a national accreditation for animal massage and acupuncture was taken by Amy Snow and Nancy Zidonis (founders of Tallgrass Animal Acupressure Institute) in 2007. After [...] The Well-Connected Dog Today, I would like to shine the spotlight on The Well-Connected Dog by Amy Snow and Nancy Zidonis. We used The Well-Connected Dog as our course manual in the acupressure class at Bancroft, and I have found it to be both a great learning manual and a fabulous [...] There are many ways to promote health through touch, and animal massage therapists are often trained in several different therapies. These are just short overviews of each therapy – to learn more about either one, click on the case study links below each. Do you know of, or are you practicing, a modality not listed here? [...]  |
