Mom Gives Up Walker After 2 Years

A client of mine had a friend in Nebraska who was in chronic pain, took pain relievers every day and had used a walker for 2 years.

Her friend called to make a phone appointment for her daughter, but it turned out she needed the session more than her daughter. So we did a 1 hour phone session and during that time, she could feel the changes happening. Sherry said she couldn't believe how the pain was diminishing.

The next day she called me and said she had walked the first time without her walker, and she could stand up straight. She couldn't believe it. She hadn't been pain free in years...

The body is a self-healing mechanism, it knows exactly what it needs to do to put itself back into homeostasis.

Definition Homeostasis: in layman's terms means balance or equilibrium. It is the property of an open system to regulate its internal environment so as to maintain a stable condition, by means of multiple dynamic equilibrium adjustments controlled by interrelated regulation mechanisms. The term was coined in 1932 by Walter Cannon from two Greek words (to remain the same). The term usually is used in the sense of biological homeostasis in humans and animals.

Using an outside influence or "facilitator for healing" can be very beneficial. Many times as humans, we get stuck in a belief that it's "old age" or we just need to take a pill or just trying to ignore it will make it go away.

But we have an internal and unseen ability to actually make physical changes in our bodies with just our thoughts!

We were born with it, and we can always access it.

Blessings for good health,

Poodle Reacts to Bad Food

This isn't the first time this has happened! My mom called me the other night saying her Miniature Poodle was bedraggled "droopy" and didn't have any energy. He didn't want to play ball and just wasn't acting himself.

So I checked in with him intuitively and I started feeling an upset stomach. Then I started asking questions about where he had been and what kind of food he had eaten...then it turned out his canned food had been the fridge about 3 days.

So I told my mom what to do, and we did a long distance allergy treatment on him for the food. He went into a sound sleep during the session and about 1/2 hour later, he was up and about feeling perkier.

She called the next morning and he was back to his old self. Playing and having a ball.

But when Mary called my about Daisy, her Maltese, that was a very serious situation...Daisy had been having seizures for 3 days about 14 a day, and the vet had her on phenobarbitol and valium to try and control the seizures.

Again, it felt like the canned food was the culprit, and Mary felt the same way. So we did a long distance allergy treatment on Daisy. There weren't any more seizures that day, or the next. So Mary went back to the vet and told him what had happened...so he agreed that it would be better to take her off the meds. And sure enough...no more seizures. She has been great ever since.

It still amazes me...and I am so grateful for this powerful gift.

Daisy's story

What Are Headshakers?

The answer is Horses That Shake Their Heads!

There are a couple of theories floating around...one is that it is a herpes virus...and the other is that it is an allergy to the sun when the UV index reaches a certain percentage.

My personal belief and experience through hands on treatment and from my extensive background and training is....that it represents a major headache...and possible nerve damage from the cranial bones being misaligned through an accident, or an emotional trauma connected to a head or neck injury.

I know this is a simplistic overview...but I will try and make it a little more understandable.

Imagine if you have a hat on that is too tight, or sunglass that put pressure behind your ears? What does that feel like? and what is your first reaction...to take them off. But can a horse do that? NO

Can he tell you it hurts? Well...he tries through body language--- rubbing his nose, shaking his head, rooting his head down to take pressure off his mouth or face, rubbing his face on his front leg almost uncontrollably, eyes watering, blowing his nose alot and acting out of control.

Now my theory why it only happens in the heat and the sun is because both of those put a lot of pressure on the optic nerves and if the cranial bones (which move by the way) have been impacted or torqued through trauma, they will affect the nerves. There are 12 pairs of nerves in the cranial vault and they feed the sensory nerves in the head and affect the whole central nervous system.

So if you have ever had a migraine...triggered by being out in the sun, where do you want to go? That's right into a dark room without any noise or vibration.

Just think!!! No noise, no heat, no vibration...and the horse has to endure all that while he is having a massive headache!

Causes of horse headaches:

• Pulling back while tied
• Trailering accident
• Cribbing straps too tight
• Ill-fitting bridles
• Misalignment of the cervical vertebrae (located in the neck)
• Flipping over backwards and hitting their head

CranioSacral Therapy is a non-invasive therapy that can realign bones and all the connective tissue surrounding the structures to obtain a balance in the cerebral spinal fluid that feeds all the nerves in the brain and head.

Through this technique...headaches can be alleviated almost immediately. And after a few sessions you can obtain perfect balance, and you will see it in the horses behavior. No more headshaking, nose rubbing or acting out of control while shaking his head.

I tell my clients, that if you ever see a behavioral change, think back to what happened right before that. And see if there is either an emotional connection (owner dying, being sold or abandoned) or a physical accident (tried to go through the roof of the trailer at a horse show).

More than likely you will see a connection of some sort.

You can leave a comment here for questions, or you can email me directly, I will be happy to answer individual questions.
