How To Use Flower Essences With Animals

Are Flower Essences safe for my pet?

Energy Therapies for Dogs and Humans

Today’s post is a great video talk by Jo Maldonado on energy therapies for both humans and dogs, and how our thoughts and feelings impact our animals.
It’s easy to forget, but I have noticed again and again that when I’m working with an animal, especially those with emotional issues, my own energy level and mood [...]

Complementary Animal Health Events & Workshops UK: January - February 2013

First of all, I apologize for publishing this a bit later than usual – we had (and still have) family visiting from overseas for the holidays, and I have been too busy having “offline” fun (and cooking!).
Also, it seems that this list is a bit shorter than usual, and I suspect that might [...]

This list is [...]

We also used a few homeopathic [...]

Alternative Animal Health Events & Workshops - USA and Canada - November - December 2012

It’s hard to believe that another year has gone by and we’re looking at the events for the last two months of 2012. Where does the time go? Things are winding down, and most of the events on this list are in November. Partly because many of the higher levels of courses take place towards [...]
