Holistic Animal Care – Trauma Recovery and Intuitive Communication Resume

EXPERIENCE SUMMARY

 

 Animal Care Experience

 

• Companion: cats, dogs, horses, fish, birds, lizards … pure joy… I have lived with animals most of my life. They have been in service to me as much as I to them. They have provided willing friendships for me to learn and demonstrate holistic living and healing methods to promote greater wellness and more harmonious healing when necessary.
• Wildlife: Project Wildlife: I was on the raptor team and had two permanent cripple red tailed hawks in my home care. I also worked with owls, song birds and small mammals.  Tasks included: cage cleaning and repair, feeding, vet visits & general animal health awareness, giving education programs, etc.
• Holistic Animal Care / Consultations on wild and domestic animals and their humans; often working in tandem with veterinarians. Over the years I have trained in a variety of holistic modalities including homeopathy, herbs, flower essences and energy healing techniques.  I am also an intuitive communicator.  Through this wisdom I provide consultations and do educational writing to those who are interested in expanding their awareness.
• Trauma Recovery: Much of my service and that of my wolfdog companion Ishnahnay has been and is doing conscious trauma recovery for animals and humans the later often with Ishnahnay’s or other animal’s assistance. This includes physical, mental and emotional areas of trauma.
• Pet sitting and dog day care – self business primarily with dogs and cats. While living in Mount Shasta I offered pet sitting, dog walking and holistic training.
