Birds are singing, lilacs are in bloom and I’m wearing flip flops – spring is here and with it lots of events and fun things to do. It has been a record warm season here in the Northeast and apparently the pollen count is extremely high. Happily, it seems like the NAET treatments I got [...]

After what has been one of the weather-wise best winters ever in my opinion (no snow, only a few days below freezing), it’s starting to feel like spring. Every morning, the birds are singing outside my window, and there is a glimmer of daylight left when I leave work in the evening. It really does [...] 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 [...] How quickly the summers go by (even if they’re horrible like mine was). Fall is already here and with it, an abundance of classes and workshops. As always, if you know of an event that belongs on this list, please contact me and I will add it. October is 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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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 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 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 [...] 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’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 (!), [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] This post starts a new series here at AMG. I will be posting information about upcoming events and workshops (here in US to start with, I will probably expand that to include other parts of the world too) related to massage and other alternative healing modalities for animals. If you have (or know of) an upcoming [...]  |
