Reiki for Animals.
A gentle, noninvasive type of healing where energy flows
through the practitioner to the client by touch or laying on
may include relief from pain due to injury or a chronic
condition, support for the immune system, and removal
of energy blockages to help the body regain balance. It
is ideal for animals because they can control the
treatment, accepting Reiki in the ways that are most
comfortable to them.


Therapeutic Massage.
Therapeutic massage helps to assess and maintain
wellness, enhances the quality of life, strengthens the
body by stimulating muscles, and helps restore range of
motion and flexibility.  Therapeutic massage can aid in
alleviating pain by increasing blood flow.  It relieves
physical and emotional pain.  It can help with behavioral
issues such as fear biting, food aggression, separation
anxiety due to abandonment, abuse, uncertainty of pack
status, and grieving.  Therapeutic massage energizes
the mind; the animals follows on the inside where the
touch is on the outside.  It helps older animals cope with
stiffness and discomfort that accompany arthritis, and it
supports animals in times of crisis, injury, surgery, and
grieving.  After surgery it can assist the body in releasing
toxic effects of anesthetics.


Therapeutic Touch.
Every person and animal is an open energy field; when
there is a problem, the flow can be reduced, creating
congestion and energy blocks.  Therapeutic touch can
be used as contact or noncontact (as much as several
inches above the body) to decongest the blocks and
allow the energy to pass through freely again.


Kinesiology.
The use of muscle testing to identify problem areas,
allergies/sensitivities, and rebalance chakras.


Consultation.
Often there are issues with our animal companions.  
Sometimes, we just need a way to appreciate their view
of things and begin to open up a dialog.  Mediation and
consultation sessions can facilitate this.


Sacred Ceremony for Animals in Transition.
Because animals have much shorter life spans than
humans, their deaths are often the first we encounter.  
We also must endure them more frequently, as we
usually have multiple animal companions throughout
our lives.  Death makes no distinction between species,
and neither does our love.  We can celebrate, mourn,
and remember our animal friends, as we do our human
ones.   Dawn can assist with putting together a sacred
ceremony that can allow you to grieve, to heal, and to
embody the joy felt when you recall special time spent
together ~ a ceremony specifically designed for the life
you and your companion shared.  Grief support is also
available.  For more information, please call

EarthSong Healing Arts
ESHA is based in Woodstock, New York, in Ulster
County.  For animal healing sessions she generally
drives to you for the optimal comfort of your animal.  The
animals usually determine the length of the session but
can last anywhere from a half hour to one hour.  
Depending on the animal's needs, from one to all
modalities may be used during a session, and the
nature of each session may change from time to time,
again, depending on the individual's needs.

It is strongly recommended that you commit to enough
sessions to give your animal an opportunity to become
comfortable with this type of body work.  She also travels
to your home environment for human sessions.

Please
let us know if you have any questions or would
like to schedule a session for yourself or for your
companion animal.

These services are intended not to replace veterinary
care but to be used in a complementary way to
enhance the well being of animal companions.
