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 [...] 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 [...] 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, [...] 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 [...] I first heard about Tong Ren a few years ago, when a friend of mine went to a workshop with her Mother. There were many people there with stories of miraculous recovery from various serious illnesses thanks to Tong Ren, and if you look it up online, you’ll find thousands more. Not too long ago, I [...] 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 [...] Today’s featured healing modality is EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique. It is a really interesting and (on the surface at least) easy method to clear up mental and physical issues. I say on the surface, because you have to get to the root of the problem, and figuring out just which stressful event led to [...] I received a very interesting question from a reader the other day – which crystals to use in a cow barn. I didn’t know the answer to that, so I got in touch with Karen Ryan, who is the owner and founder of The Crystal Tiger in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, and was the featured practitioner [...] Today’s post comes from Kathleen Prasad, who was our featured practitioner in the very first post in this series (Alternative Healing Modality: Reiki). I went into more detail about what Reiki is and how it works in that post so I won’t repeat it here, but just quickly for those who are unfamiliar with it: [...] Today’s guest post comes from Luis and Mary Carillo, owners of Good Dog Aquatic Fitness in North Andover, Massachusetts. Good Dog is a referral facility that specializes in canine hydrotherapy, rehabilitation, and massage therapy to help dogs recover from injury and illness as well as maintain their overall health and quality of life. Luis, a licensed [...] 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 [...] This guest post comes from Jodi McLaughlin, who was the featured practitioner in the first acupressure post. Jodi, a long-time holistic animal health provider and owner and founder of The Blissful Bunny Massage Workshops, obviously has a soft spot for rabbits. 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. 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 [...] |
