Meet the beautiful young lady that stole my heart today 😍.
I had the pleasure of meeting and treating Evan for a beautiful Bodywork session.
Evan is only a 6 month old and has been thru a lot in her life. She was abandoned at young age, ended up on death row and is now in foster care with Bowen Collinsville Pet Rescue Inc in Proserpine. She is the biggest smoocher and will steal anyone's heart in no time 😍🥰🐕🐾
If you would like to adopt Evan please contact Bowen & Collinsville Pet Rescue

I would like to say a massive thank you to all the love and support I have received over the last year with my little business.
If you know me, you know that helping dogs live a happier and healthier life is more than a job to me, it's my passion and I absolutely love what I do.
Seeing the positive changes in so many dogs, and the difference I can make has been so fulfilling and gives me joy every single day.
I can't wait to see all my beautiful clients again in the New Year. 🎄🐾🥰🐕

I love getting positive feedback after each session. This was my last week of November 🐾😍🐕

Meet Sam, one of my beautiful fur clients.
Sam's mum contacted me a few weeks ago to help Sam recover from a previous trauma and work on his anxiety.
After only the 1st session his mum noticed great improvements 🐾🥰
Sam has been barking less, his hyper awareness has settled down, he's been less reactive on his walks and stopped barking at visitors.
I love seeing such quick results especially in my trauma & anxiety patients 😍🐕
If your fur baby has been struggling with trauma & anxiety, please feel free to contact me.

Is your dog struggling with storm season?🐕⚡⛈🌩

29/11/2024

I had a busy couple of weeks visiting my beautiful fur clients.
Their human parents all noticed considerable improvements after their sessions.
If you believe your dog will benefit from a Bodywork session, please feel free to contact me to discuss.

Do you have an anxious dog?

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝘅𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘁. 𝗛𝗼𝘄𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝘁. 𝗜𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁, 𝗜 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗮 𝗟𝗢𝗧 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝘅𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗯𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲 - 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗜 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝘅𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆.

There are four faces of anxiety, four different expressions that you'll see in the dog's behaviour. Two are easy to spot, and nobody would ever miss them. The other two faces of anxiety in dogs are not so well known or understood, and a lot of people don't realise that they are actually important signs of anxiety that needs attention and help.

𝟭) 𝗙𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 - 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸, 𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗲, 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗸, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗼 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆.

2) FLIGHT - these dogs try to run away form the scary thing.

𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗼𝗯𝗶𝘃𝗼𝘂𝘀, 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲, 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀!

3) FREEZE - these dogs shut down, - a full freeze means they will physically freeze (in a tense way, not relaxed!), a partial freeze means they will be shut down to some extent.

𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘂𝘀. 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘇𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘇𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧.

The dog that has never shown any signs of aggression, but who then suddenly tries to bite the vet (often much to the surprise and shock of the owner) is a classic example of this.

𝟰) 𝗙𝗜𝗗𝗚𝗘𝗧 - 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝘆𝗽𝗲𝗿-𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘇𝘆-𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗳𝘂𝗹-𝗷𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 - 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀. 𝗔 𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 '𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗳𝘂𝗹' 𝗱𝗼𝗴 - 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝘅𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆!

I help all of the expressions of anxiety - primarily with specialised relaxing touch skills and practices from the Whole Energy Body Balance™ method - and also with supplements, training strategies, supporting humans to become stronger benevolent leaders, kind training methods, and holistic veterinary treatments. Message me if you'd like me to help your anxious pup!

I help animals all over the world heal and be well + happy with holistic veterinary care, kind training, and energy healing. If you want me to help your pets, message me! Zoom and in person appts available.
