The Northwest School Of Animal Massage

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 [...]

Holistic Animal Health Classes, Courses & Workshops in the US, Canada and UK: January - February 2012

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 [...]

Holistic Animal Health Events & Workshops - USA, Canada & UK - December 2011

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 [...]

Holistic Animal Health Events & Workshops - USA, Canada & UK - August & September 2011

Summer is here and it’s finally feeling like it in Massachusetts. After a cold and rainy June, we’re now enjoying sunshine and 90+ temperatures (at least I’m enjoying it – I’ll take that any day over snow!). There are plenty of classes and workshops in August and September, although noticeably fewer than earlier in the [...]

Holistic Animal Health Events & Workshops - USA, Canada & UK - June & July 2011

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 [...]

Holistic Animal Health Events & Workshops - USA, Canada & UK - April & May 2011

Winter is pretty much done, and I saw the first snowdrops and crocuses just last week. It feels like we’re all coming out of hibernation and there are lots of classes and workshops to choose from all over the US and Canada. And, for the first time, events in the UK are included on the [...]

Holistic Animal Health Events & Workshops February - March 2011

With the hoopla of the holidays behind us, other activities are starting up again. Here are the upcoming workshops for the next few months (as always, please let me know if you have an event to add to the list).

I have also updated a few more of the Visiting Classes & Workshops on each of [...]

New Additions To School Lists

I have added quite a few more schools, workshops and classes to the animal massage school lists. This is a short synopsis of the additions – more information is on the list for each country.

I have also updated the visiting classes and workshops for 2011 on each list, however, not all practitioners have finalized their [...]

Holistic Animal Health Events & Workshops December 2010 - January 2011

I know I always say this, but can you believe the holidays are upon us already? I wish they could move Christmas to March so you had more time to enjoy all the lights and festive decorations. I think it would make the snow and darkness more bearable too. Anyway…

As usual, things quiet down on [...]

Holistic Animal Healing Events And Workshops - October & November 2010

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 love fall, but it’s always hard to say goodbye to summer, especially one that was as spectacular as this one.

October [...]

More Additions To Massage School Lists & New Feature

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 [...]

Animal Holistic Healing Events And Workshops - August & September 2010

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 [...]

Alternative Health for Animals Classes And Workshops - June & July 2010

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
June 25 is Take Your Dog to Work Day

As always, if you know of an event that belongs on this list, please [...]

Question From A Reader: How To Choose A Massage School?

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 [...]

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 [...]

Even More Additions To School Lists And Events

I’ve just added even more schools to some of the lists as well as a few events to the Events & Workshops in Feb – March 2010.

It seems that Tierheilpraktiker (“animal healing practitioner”) training is very popular in Germany. The training includes subjects such as homeopathy, physiotherapy, animal psychology, Bach flowers, leech therapy (!), [...]

Additions & Updates To The School Lists

I’ve been doing a little bit of holiday cleaning here at AMG, and have updated and added a bunch of new schools to the different lists. The UK list in particular has been totally revamped with lots of new additions, and I have also divided all the schools there into England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and [...]
