Emotions are simply energy in motion and sometimes this energy gets trapped in the body causing illness and dis-ease. This is true for both us and our dogs.

Energy healing can help move this trapped energy, thereby allowing the body to heal itself, come back into balance and harmony, thereby supporting optimal health and wellness.

When we realize just how rich we are!

Our dogs want nothing more than to spend time with us. They offer us unconditional love, they allow us the freedom to be ourselves.

How does it get any better than this? 😄💚

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we stopped commanding and telling our dogs what to do?

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we started working with our dogs, asking them what we would like of them?

I wonder what the impact would be on our dog’s health and wellbeing if we were to undertake such a paradigm shift?

Gratitude is a wonderful way to raise your energy and raise your vibration.

It benefits your health and wellbeing and as your dogs can feel your energy and vibration, gratitude is a wonderful practice that benefits their health and wellbeing too.

What are you grateful for today? 😄

My beautiful baby girl Molly crossed the rainbow bridge last Saturday. Molly was 16 and though bright in spirit, her physical body was failing her and it became time for Molly to transition. This has been incredibly heartbreaking and devastating, however I will cherish our 16 years together.

Molly was bright, she was wise, she was spunky, independent, resilient and such a gentle, kind and loving soul. As devastated as I was, for Molly, this time, healing did not mean cure. It meant supporting Molly through her journey, providing a peaceful, comfortable, safe and loving space where our bond grew stronger. I chose to make those last months and those last moments sacred, special and beautiful.

Believe me, I had my moments, I still have my moments where my whole world is ending, and I chose to make palliative care a positive experience and I choose to be grateful for all that Molly and I shared. Energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed. So while Molly has transitioned from this physical plane, I know she will always be with me in spirit.

This is a journey of love and acceptance for what is from one of my greatest and most loving teachers. Love you Molly always.❤❤

Have you considered an energy healing session for your dog?

Many people see energy healing as woo-woo. Yet it has been used in various forms for centuries and there is much research to show the positive effects energy healing can have on the body.

Energy Healing may help restore, support and rejuvenate the body’s energy field. This in turn supports the body in finding its own way back to harmony, balance and optimal health and wellness. 😊

Every dog, every animal deserves to feel safe! 😀❤

Our dogs remind us every day to live life to the fullest – no regrets. They don’t worry about what’s going to happen, they don’t worry about the what ifs, they don’t worry about their illness or disease, they live life – they run, they play, they rest – they just do the thing, whatever makes them happy. 😀💚

Of course, we have more responsibility than they do and as humans we can tend to complicate things way more than they need to be. And as we all know only too well, life can change in an instant, it goes by so fast.

So what if, instead of choosing to worry and stress, we take a leaf out of our dogs book and choose to live life to its fullest every day. This will not only benefit our lives, it will benefit the lives of our dogs too as remember they pickup on our thoughts, feelings and emotions.

Everything is energy!

That includes us and our dogs!

Energy flows through us and around us and we are using, giving, receiving and creating energy at all times.

And did you know science is now discovering just how this energy has a direct impact on our health and well-being and that of our dogs?

The food we eat, our environment, our emotions, injury, trauma or stress placed on the body can all affect the body’s energy field and the flow of information within it.

To support our health and wellness and that of our animals, it is important to optimise the energy that flows through the body.

And this is where energy healing comes in!

Energy Healing is a traditional healing system that aims to restore balance, harmony and the flow of energy and information throughout the body, mind and spirit. It looks beyond the physical to the subtle energy systems such as the body field, aura, chakras and meridians where the root cause of dis-ease may be found.

Energy healing facilitates the healing process by clearing blockages and addressing disturbances or distortions within these energy fields and rebalancing and harmonising the energy so that the body can access its inherent ability to heal itself and achieve its optimal level of health and wellness.

Did you know your thoughts, feelings and emotions can affect your dog?

Ever notice your dog leave the room when you’re in a bad mood or when you’re angry or frustrated? Your stress, your frustrations, your irritability can all be felt by your dog. So, if you experience stress constantly not only is this going to affect your health and wellbeing, it is also going to affect your dog’s health and wellbeing.

And vice versa, if you learn to better manage stress when it enters your life, if you take care of yourself, if you choose to see the silver lining in that dark cloud – your health and wellbeing will benefit and so will your dogs.

Observe your dog. See how they respond to your anxiousness or nervousness and see how they respond when you are feeling confident, calm and happy.

We are all energy and we are all connected.

And remember you get to choose your state – so choose one that supports your health and wellbeing and that of your dog. 😀❤

3 ways you can help your dog to live a happy healthy life!

1. Feed a raw fresh whole food diet.
Good nutrition is key to good health – physically, mentally and emotionally. A high quality raw whole food diet is full of the natural vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes dogs need to thrive.

2. Enrich your dog’s world.
Sniffing is a wonderful way to enrich your dog’s world. It is how your dog learns and interacts with the world around them. Great for dogs of all ages, sizes and shapes. Whether it’s treats hidden in the backyard, a snuffle matt or a sniff walk at the beach dogs love to sniff.

3. Support harmony within body, mind and spirit through energy healing.
Energy healing can help harmonize the body’s energy systems thereby allowing the body to naturally come back into a state of harmony and wellness. Great to support overall health and vitality.

What other people think about you is none of your business.

What you think and feel about you is what is most important.

Why?

Because what you think and feel about you, affects your health and wellbeing.

And through your connection to your dog, what you think and feel about you, affects their health and wellbeing.

Love yourself! Love your dog! ❤😊

For those dogs that still need grooming as they get older, it is really important to be mindful of what they are able to endure in their later years. As they get older, they may not see as well, they may not hear as well and due to arthritic pain or nerve pain may not be able to stand or sit in the one place for the longer periods of time required to clip and groom them.

We would not expect our 95-year-old grandmother to sit in a hairdresser’s chair without moving for hours on end and we cannot expect our elderly dogs to do so either. 😳

For health and hygiene, they still need grooming, they still need to be knot free and they still need to be kept clean and tidy. If you take your dog to a groomer, please ensure they take the time to work at your elderly dogs’ pace, giving them a rest if need be and only doing what your dog can handle.

For Molly, I groom her myself at home and I groom her in stages. I give her a bath one week and do a little, then I might do a little more another week – basically we do little bits at a time as they need doing. Molly has been groomed from the age of 8 weeks. When she was younger she would have a bath every fortnight and a full groom once a month. As she has progressed through her senior years, the time between baths and grooms has gotten a little longer – and this has been to meet her needs – not mine. Meeting her needs and ensuring she is as comfortable as she can be throughout the process is imperative.

Doing it this way - Is Molly groomed to perfection – No.

Does it really matter – No.

When she was younger, was Molly’s favourite past time to roll in bat poo when she was beautiful and clean – It sure was. 😂

Is she still the cutest little girl ever – She sure is. 🥰🐾❤

What is Holistic Wellness for Dogs?

I believe holistic wellness is like a jigsaw puzzle – to see the full picture you need all pieces of the puzzle. This means when optimizing your dog’s wellness, it is important to address their physical, mental and emotional needs.

Important aspects to consider:

🟢 Is the food we feed, supporting health & vitality?

🟢 Are they getting good quality sleep?

🟢 Are we able to decrease their toxic load by limiting their exposure to chemicals and other toxins?

🟢 Have we thought about the type of exercise we provide our dogs?

🟢 Do we know what stress looks like for our dogs?

🟢 Is our dog’s environment calm and supportive of their needs?

🟢 How do we enrich our dog’s world?

🟢 Do we incorporate energy healing into their wellness routine, supporting and restoring harmony and the flow of energy throughout the body’s energy systems.

🟢 Do we take time to care for ourselves so that we can better show up for our dogs?

When we know how, holistic wellness gets to become a lifestyle – a lifestyle that supports a happy, healthy dog!
