Cranio Sacral Therapy and Intuitive Healing
Wendy combines her training in cranio-sacral therapy and intuitive energy healing to create powerful healing for animals. She has used this method on horses, dogs and cats with great results for physical and emotional issues.
What is cranio-sacral therapy?
Cranio-Sacral therapy is a gentle hands-on treatment that frees restricted motion of the bones of the skull, vertebral column and pelvis by working with the spinal covering and fluid. The technique was originally developed by Osteopaths for humans and has since been transferred to animals.
When restrictions in the Cranio-Sacral system are released through this treatment, the central nervous system is improved allowing it to better relieve stress and strengthen resistance to disease. Mobility is increased, calmness and homeostasis returns. Emotional trauma held in cells is also frequently released.
Wendy uses a very light touch, energy and intuition to guide the session. She gives guidance and support to the self healing process in the animal. This restoration and healing enables the animal to regain its physical and mental balance.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the degree of restrictions and the animal’s ability to release them. However, many of Wendy’s clients have seen significant improvement in attitude, ability to work, gait issues, headshaking and fears in as little as one treatment. Animals that require frequent chiropractic adjustments typically begin to hold their adjustments longer.
Why would my horse benefit?
Our regular handling of horses, riding them with bits and saddles, and injuries (known and unknown) can create restrictions. A minor injury can create restrictions through "holding" and "protecting" the area. Think about when you have sprained an ankle or bruised yourself. While the minor injury is healing you "protect" the area by using other muscles and often tense muscles in fear of more pain. Our horses also have this "protection" mechanism which can create imbalances and restrictions throughout the body. Over time, lameness without apparent cause, spookiness, inability to take a lead or use the hind end can result.
Why would my dog benefit?
Pulling on leashes, agility, jumping off of couches, beds, and stairs can create restrictions within the cranio-sacral system. Also, other issues such as ACL, hip dysplasia or arthritis can also cause a dog to use its body in a compensatory manner creating problems for other parts of the body. Releasing these restrictions and allowing the cerebral spinal fluid to flow creates balance and harmony in the body.
Cranio-Sacral Therapy and Intuitive Healing are not an alternative to veterinary medicine and are best used as part of a holistic health care program.
