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 [...] 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 [...] Todays spotlight is on the Bach Flower Remedies, a set of 38 essences that can help with all sorts of emotional issues in both people and animals. We have been using Rescue Remedy, a 5-flower “emergency” essence blend, for years now and it really does work. We use it for ourselves in times of stress, our [...] As I mentioned in my post on Friday, I’m starting a new series here at AMG where we learn more about a specific healing modality in each post and also get to meet a practitioner and read one of their case studies. I’m very excited about this series; it’s fascinating to read all the stories, [...] In the next few days, I am going to be starting a new series of posts here at AMG, and I am really excited about this one. As I’ve been researching schools etc. I have come across tons of different complementary and alternative therapies; many that I didn’t even know existed. I was curious to [...] I have received quite a few questions about animal massage schools in South Africa, and here are the alternative animal health schools, classes and workshops I’ve managed to find so far (in alphabetical order). As always, I will keep adding to the list when I find more, and as usual, please let me know if you [...] If you’ve read my “about” page, you know that allergies forced me to stop working with animals. But I am allergic to a lot of things, not only animals. I react badly to things like Neosporin, calendula, scented candles, latex, gasoline, mold, cleaning liquids, detergents, etc. I also have seasonal allergies and food allergies that [...] 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 [...] Today’s guest post comes to us from Amy Snow, founder (along with Nancy Zidonis) of Tallgrass Animal Acupressure Institute and co-author of Equine Acupressure: A Working Manual, The Well-Connected Dog: A Guide to Canine Acupressure, Acu-Dog – A Guide To Canine Acupressure and, Acu-Cat: A Guide to Feline Acupressure. They have also written several manuals [...] The Bach flower therapy system was invented by Dr. Edward Bach, a British physician, in the 1930s. Dissatisfied with the western approach to medicine and inspired by homeopathy, he set out to find a new system of treating illnesses before they manifest themselves in the body. For more on Dr. Bach, see the Alternative Health [...] 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? [...]  |
