Soothing Touch for Animals

Animals can experience stress – just like humans. In this class you will learn seven simple soothing techniques, some that use touch, others use energy healing.  We will also introduce simple methods working with infrared, “Photobiomodulation Light Therapy.”  We will demonstrate with dogs in class, but these methods can be used with all animals – including yourself.  Humans and animals share emotions, and the more we can calm ourselves, the more we can be of service to the animals who share our lives.  All of these methods work quickly, helping animals to get out of the "fight, flight, freeze, or fiddle" response.  These practical, soothing techniques invite the calming response (the vagus nerve system) leading to greater well-being and better connection between you and the animals in your life.
