TOTEM Animal Wellness

TOTEM Animal Wellness Tools of Therapeutic Energy & Massage as a Certified Small Animal Massage Therapist and Pet Costumes I began my new journey into Energy work.

As a life-long pet lover and owner of cats, dogs, reptiles, fish and birds as well as several visits to a family farm playing with the horses and pigs :), it took me a while to realize animals are my true calling. Receiving an MFA in Theatre as a Costume and Make-up Artist, I just felt something was missing. Dealing with several overuse injuries from sewing, I got involved with wellness; dance, y

oga, meditation. And five trips to India opened my eyes to new healing methods. I was curious about Ayurveda and some of its similarities to Wicca. I became a Reiki Master, and found out animals also need this form of love and empathy, which is great for shelter and misunderstood animals. I was instantly drawn into the well-being of animals. Currently, I offer services of pet healing with Reiki, while my coursework as a Certified Animal Massage Therapist will be finished come the Fall! I temporarily relocated to Lake Havasu City, AZ until Dec/Jan 2018. My People Massage will be finished in December. From there... the world is an open book. I originally started this page for my Dog Costumes, and I cwill ontinue to design, until the healing biz takes off. Although, I'm so busy with both schools, my Dog Costumes are on hold. You will see tips on well-being, nutrition and the usual humor to get you through the day happy. A firm believer of pets are therapeutic. Hope to see and serve some of you soon :)

Did you know that dogs can get frost bite too?

This Homemade Paw Wax is easy to make and will keep your dog's feet safe and comfortable in the snow and especially salt! โ„๏ธ ๐Ÿพ Simply massage a layer of paw wax onto your dog's pads before heading out for an adventure ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Why Paw Wax is a Must-Have:

โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน Protect Against Salt & Chemicals
Streets and sidewalks can be full of harsh chemicals and salt in the winter, which can be painful and harmful to your dog's paws. Putting on paw wax forms a protective barrier to keep your dogs pads safe!

โ„๏ธ Prevents Ice Build-Up
Ice and snowballs can accumulate between the toes of furry-footed breeds, causing discomfort.

๐Ÿพ Moisturizes & Heals
Cold weather can dry out and crack paw pads.

๐Ÿ‘… Natural & Safe
This recipe uses all-natural ingredients, ensuring it's safe for your dog even if they lick their paws.

My most popular Christmas dog costume! Lots of people doing family pictures for cards of the Griswolds. So funny! Love these moments with our critters. Glad to help ๐Ÿ˜†

*Update 2023- Iโ€™ll be changing the white robe to a dirty off-white (more appropriate:), the buckle has changed and sleeves are shorter.

Thank you Ashley for bringing Monty by! He's 3-yrs old and possibly a mix between Pittie and a Jack Russell, but he has the Husky/Border Collie ice-colored eye. Super muscular and adorably sweet ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿพ

As per "most" of my pattern sizes, Monty would be considered a large! Although, he's 4" longer, this is why measurements are so important in my designs. She would either have to buy something too short or too big.

So I had an epiphany.... ๐Ÿคจ
As I do not have the space to store alterations for people (gowns, suits, etc...), it's possible that I would be able to do alterations for Pet costumes as I already design dog costumes. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
That being said, I'm going to give it a whirl and put those feelers out into the universe.

If you have a harness that's just a little too big or costume that's too long send me a message here. Upsizing would be difficult, especially if there is no excess seam allowance to open it up. On a hem we can definitely get creative with maybe adding a ruffle or an extended piece.

I'll work on some basic pricing for now. You're welcome โ˜บ๏ธ

Donโ€™t be afraid to be yourself....

Be that weird guy who pulled over and checked on the animal that was hit by a car to see if it was still alive and needed help.

Be the construction worker that left work early while his buddies laughed at him because he found an injured squirrel and wanted to get it to safety.

Be the irritating woman who isnโ€™t afraid to stop traffic because a mama duck is trying to cross the road with her babies.

Be the gross person who isnโ€™t disgusted by a mangy fox and sees it as an animal that needs help from the right people.

Be the aggravating informant who tells the guy buying rat poison what it does to our local wildlife.

Be the uncool kid who stops his friends from trying to hurt a snake they found for fun.

When we start feeling bad or embarrassed for showing EMPATHY toward another and trying to SAVE A LIFE, then we have let the opinions of others mean WAY too much.

Never apologize for being a good and caring human being. There arenโ€™t enough in this world.

Today is another holiday I'm sure one of the top national pet chains came up with. Give extra treats and pets for them. Not like they need it. Even just an empty box will do. Esp in this economy.

Our Story

As a life-long pet lover and owner of cats, dogs, reptiles, fish and birds as well as several visits to a family farm playing with the horses and pigs :), it took me a while to realize animals are my true calling. Receiving an MFA in Theatre as a Costume and Make-up Artist, I just felt something was missing. Dealing with several overuse injuries from sewing heavy duty materials full-time with a lack of education on posture and workplace preventative care and dynamics, I got involved with wellness; dance, yoga, meditation. Five trips to India opened my eyes to new healing methods. I was curious about Ayurveda and some of its similarities to Wicca. So, I began my new journey into Energy work. I became a Reiki Master in 2015, and found out animals also need this form of love and empathy, which is great for shelter and misunderstood animals. I was instantly drawn into the well-being of animals as a profession. I offer services of pet healing as a Certified Animal Massage Therapist and Reiki Master as well as Licensed Massage Therapist. I currently reside in Lake Havasu City, AZ to be with family and start my new journey. I originally started this page for my Dog Costumes, and I will continue to design, while my healing business takes off. You will see tips on holistic nutrition, well-being, and the usual humor to get you through the day happy. A firm believer of pets are therapeutic. Hope to see and serve some of you soon :)
