Your Animal Massage Business

This is another therapy that I knew nothing about before starting to investigate it. I have used crystals for Feng Shui purposes in my home (as directed by a practitioner), but other than that, I just thought they were pretty. But it turns out they’re powerful too.

Today’s featured alternative health modality is canine hydrotherapy (a.k.a. canine water therapy). Different forms of hydrotherapy for humans have been around for thousands of years – ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans all used it to improve their health, spirits and general well-being.
Equine hydrotherapy, in particular using cold sea water on leg injuries, has been practiced [...]
Today’s alternative healing modality is acupuncture. As I mentioned in my post about NAET, I’ve been getting acupuncture for allergies for over a year, and it’s helping! And even though I always think the needles hurt going in, the feeling afterwards is totally worth the pain. I feel awake and alert and incredibly calm at [...]
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 [...]
I have to confess that I did not know anything at all about Shamanism before starting this series of posts, but what I have learned is fascinating. And now I want to know who my power animal is!
What Is Shamanic Healing?
Shamanism has been practiced for thousands of years by people all over the world. The [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
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’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 (!), [...]
This is the last post in my series about how to start your own blog. We’ve talked about free blogs vs. blogs where you own your domain name, how to set up both a free and self-hosted blog, and how to post pages and posts.
Today, we’ll talk about plugins. Plugins are pieces of code that [...]

As always, I will keep adding to the list when I find more, and as usual, please let me know if you [...]
We’ve come to the 5th part in my series on how to start your own blog and today, I’ll talk about how to publish a post. It seems like such an easy and straightforward task that you probably wonder why we need a whole post on this, but it can be tricky, and photos can [...]
