I think many people don’t realize quite how powerful alternative therapies can be. “Everybody” knows that massage helps relieve stiff and sore muscles and loosen up scar tissue, but it can also be a tremendous help with a slew of other conditions, both physical and psychological. We have talked about what massage is exactly earlier [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] This guest post comes from Jodi McLaughlin, who was the featured practitioner in the first acupressure post.

Many think that is is just an unnecessary spa [...] Now that summer is here, there are lots of outdoor events where you could be offering your massage services to pet owners: rescue group gatherings, agility trials and competitions, conformation shows, local dog group events, and more. Here is a list of things to bring when you’re setting up at an outdoor event: Calculator (get one with [...] After hearing from many readers looking for massage schools in mainland Europe, I put together this list of alternative and complementary animal health schools, courses and workshops.
