Rose De Dan and Puma

I became interested in Tellington TTouch, a long time ago, but that interest kind of got sidelined while focusing on my shamanic training.

Recently I read some very impressive stories by a long-time animal communicator that fanned that interest back into action, especially since I have wanted some additional assistance for Puma, my wonderful dog companion, as he enters his senior years. And lo, and behold, Shannon Finch’s name crossed my path. So, Wild Reiki and Shamanic Healing is now hosting a TTouch class in Seattle for the very first time! (And I believe there will be a live demo with said dog, and perhaps one of my cats who is shy of being handled – I may borrow a video camera for that!)

INTRODUCTION TO TELLINGTON TTOUCH CLASS

• Do you have a shy or aggressive dog?
• A cat who is getting along in years?
• A bird who squawks incessently?
• Are you interested in enhancing the bond with your animals?

Then this hands-on workshop is for you.

For more information on TTouch see What is TTouch?

You’ll learn how to improve your animal’s health and wellbeing with several TTouch techniques that release the tension, fear and anxiety that lead to behavior problems. You’ll learn how to ease the ailments associated with aging as well as first aid measures that can save your animal’s life. While TTouch can assist the healing of injuries and illness, and help change undesirable behaviors, it also builds a deeper rapport between humans and animals, so your critter doesn’t have to have a problem in order to benefit from this class.

Please do not bring your animal to the workshop, we’ll be practicing on willing stuffies (stuffed animals) this time around!

When: Saturday, December 5, 2009, 9:30am-12:30pm
Where: Wild Reiki and Shamanic Healing, Alki, Seattle, WA
Cost: $95 per person

Registration: Class size is limited to a small number of participants. If interested send me an email, and I will provide you with payment information.
