In Loving Memory
The inspiration for this conference is my dear, sweet Springer Spaniel, Tish, who left me too soon on May 15th, 2012.
We spent 14 wonderful years together, and, like so many of you, I had wished for many more.
What I wish for you is that your experiences here will lead to a longer, happier, and more enriched life for you and your beloved animal companions. That precious gift is what is being offered by each of these presenters.
You'll want to share in it, too.

Our animals are so precious to us. But they often leave us too soon. What if we could preserve their health and wellness for years longer. We can, and at The Conference on Complementary Animal Healing, you'll learn how.
For two amazing days, The Conference on Complementary Animal Healing will bring together a animal lovers, caretakers and healers to discover how Essential Oils, Hands-On Energy Healing, Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Craniosacral, Homeopathy, and Vibrational Healing Techniques can alleviate our animals' physical and emotional pain and restore their health and vitality.
You'll learn how to create balance where there is stress, and how to redefine your interactions with your animals so that where there was struggle, there is ease. You'll be empowered to create a better life for you and your animals, armed with tools to replace helplessness with hope.
You'll hear and experience the ways in which not only animals, but their human companions, too, can be deeply affected and changed by the skilled interactions of practitioners who are devoted to creating peace and harmony in each being they touch. You'll discover how their gentle, but powerful techniques can profoundly transform the way in which you think about your animal's health, giving you options and alternatives you may never have imagined possible.
Whether you're an animal wellness practitioner who wants to deepen your skills, a professional animal trainer or caretaker, or a person who wants to enhance your relationships with your creature companions and promote their well-being, this conference has something for you.
In addition to a wealth of experience, you'll receive a complimentary flower essence, and other goodies. You can see the full Conference agenda here.

Honoring the Wisdom of Dogs and Cats
How the Reiki precepts of humility, honesty, compassion, and lack of worry and anger can enhance our relationships with our animals and help us to deepen our energetic connection with them. Kathleen will lead a group meditation and discuss how to open to the spiritual gifts dogs and cats bring to our lives. She will describe what to expect in a "typical" treatment, and explain how gentleness and a nondominant approach bring the best results.
Practicing Peace with Your Animals
We may begin with a desire to help our animals heal, but discover unexpectedly that we also are healed by our animals! Kathleen will discuss how sharing an energetic connection with animals can help bring us more fully into the present, share tips for reconnecting with our inner reservoir of strength and peace, and teach healing meditations that anyone can use to deepen their connection with their animals.
Sunday, November 11
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy is a light touch manual therapy that addresses restrictions in the central nervous system, thereby effecting changes throughout an animal's body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Craniosacral therapy engages an animal's own self-healing mechanisms to alleviate pain, stress, injury, or disease, as well as bring about optimal wellness. This work can enhance the quality of life of senior animals, as well as bring about improved surgical results and help with training issues for dogs and horses.
Vibrational Healing
Our animals' physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies also vibrate to frequencies. Used in healing, the frequencies of tuning forks can affect the frequencies in an animal's body, altering the body's biochemistry and promoting health. Sally will discuss how she uses vibrational healing to bring an animal into harmonic balance, enhancing relaxation and well-being.
