Have you been reading these weekly newsletters for awhile?

Every workshop, we ask people why they chose to take their training in canine massage with PetMassage_TM. They tell us that they have been reading these weekly newsletters for years and have just been waiting for the right time to take their training. They invariably say that they recognize this school as having a more spiritual approach to dogs, massage and bodywork. While other schools teach a more medical/linear form, they recognize that PetMassage_TM takes a different approach. PetMassage_TM addresses the dog wholistically: body, mind, and spirit.

They read that sometimes the way to get to the spirit is through the physical. Sometimes it is the other way around. The way to get to the physical is through the spirit. They like that we have found a balance, a consensus, a means of honoring and applying Eastern, Western, alternative, and integrative systems. They like that we are comfortable speaking and teaching what we believe and practice.

The PetMassage_TM approach

During a luncheon with our most recent class, we were comparing the PetMassage_TM approach to that of vets, people practicing physical therapy with dogs, and canine massage practitioners trained in other schools. Students concluded that PetMassage_TM is not allopathic. Neither is it osteopathic, naturopathic, homoeopathic, nor any other “–pathic,” save one. PetMassage_TM is empathic.

The intention and body mechanics inherent within each and every PetMassage_TM connection, provides a form of communication between practitioner and dog that is unknown –and unexpected- in any other animal massage or bodywork form. There is a joining, a sorting out, and a resolution, of energies. The body, mind, and spirit of each connects with the body, mind, and spirit of the other.
