My background is in behavioral therapy and energetic healing services. I combine the psychology of training and building trusted relationships with pets through positive reinforcement measures, establishing healthy boundaries of authority, and genuine love for play and care taking their needs on physical and relational levels. We have volunteered at dog shelters for the last several years and I was the lead volunteer coordinator and behavioral support member at the Green County Animal Shelter for a year. I am a Reiki Master and teacher, and while I also serve human clients in this practice, it’s been a joy to serve my furry clients as well and support them in releasing anxiety, expressing their needs with more clarity, and maintaining a sense of calm in their demeanor. Reiki is a gentle, hands on energetic healing modality that works with the energy and emotions stored in the body. Because our pets carry our energy to help us lighten our burdens, it’s important that they have outlets to let go of their stressors just like we need to. This makes for happier, more connected, easy living for the whole family and can create dramatic positive shifts in behavior for dogs with whom regular training methods haven’t been fully supportive. I offer this practice in all my services whether its walking, sitting, or stopping by for play dates because, simply put, it works. We have three dogs (miniature wiener dog, beagle, and Rotweiller) and a cat who live in perfect harmony with one another which I fully attribute to the combination support of the psychology in behavior training paired with the energetic stress relief supports. Healthy, Happy, Harmonious pets, that’s what I’m in service to creating with you and your family!
