"Gracie did really well in that nasty storm last night! Amazing.  I picked up the essences and we did TTouch with them yesterday. She really seemed to love it, so we’ll keep doing that daily.  She seems to enjoy them. Especially helpful for vet visits." 
P.S. A note from Sandy: “Years later when Gracie came in for another issue, she had calmed and changed so much she seemed like a different dog, I barely recognized her she was so calm and relaxed. Lisa said this was normal for her now, even in bad storms.”

"I am so thankful that I signed up for this course. I have been waiting for something like this. Having it offered online made taking this course possible.

Sandy is an inspiration and a terrific educator. She helps making healthy changes for our pets and ourselves possible. Not only did I learn to use TTouch, Essential Oils and Flower Essences, but I also learned more about myself.

I gained confidence, and acceptance of where my pets 'are' and working from their level of need instead of a predetermined goal.

Small steps became huge steps with changes. And, my relationships with my pets were enhanced. Thank you Sandy for providing your knowledge and skills for us so that we all have healthier and better relationships with our pets."

“Lizzie has become a well-socialized, calm and responsive dog who no longer gets frenetic with new people, noises or situations.  Just months after we began working with Sandy, Lizzie passed her Canine Good Citizen Test!"

— Janet V., Colorado

“As a Veterinarian, I highly recommend working with Sandy. I am clearer on what I want. I now align with what I feel called to do. After a full career in Veterinary medicine, I am now living and working as I dreamed of as a child. Not only am I helping animals heal physically but also emotionally.

Sandy brings a depth of knowledge and leads you into listening to your soul’s purpose. I highly recommend this life transforming experience of working with her.”

I Feel a Deeper Bond with my Dog, and with my Animal Clients

“Through this program I feel a deeper bond with my dog and with client’s animals.  With animal clients there are more non-verbal connections opened.  This is one of the beauties of this work.  Before taking this class, my dog would often focus on others when out walking.  Now she is listening and paying attention to me.  In training she is more receptive and willing.”

Hope O’Brien, Tennessee
“Appreciating you for your integrity, aliveness, and for the generosity and authenticity of your being for animals and people alike.”

“During an emergency with my dog, I used my tools from our class. I will Forever handle things differently. I stopped my panic. I felt my emotions.  I made decisions differently.”

Ellen B. Dog Trainer, Florida
More understanding and Patience
Sandy opened my eyes and heart into viewing “things differently” in our world. Through her, I have learned how to understand my dogs in a way that I never thought possible. I have more understanding, therefore more patience for our most loving companions. It has definitely made me a better person and I believe a better trainer.

Behaving Amazingly Well, even Years Later!

“Since we worked together years ago, we are all doing surprisingly well.  Alvin is doing amazing.  He loves his TTouches and has become my heart dog as he seeks me every morning for some TTouch and then crawls into my heart.  Thank you for your help with him!!”

~ Pat M., Neonatal Intensive Care RN, Virginia

A note from Sandy about Pat and Alvin:  Pat had tried both traditional coercive and positive reinforcement training, using many varied techniques very diligently. She got very teary when talking about using some of the recommended coercive techniques.   At least one vet had recommended Alvin be euthanized. He was seen as not being trainable, not able to change, and was becoming increasingly dangerous.

Pat loved this dog.  She was distraught, frustrated and very upset upon their first visit with me as she had tried so many methods to no avail.  

Here’s a few of the issues Alvin presented initially – all of which have changed completely. Pat wrote: “Alvin is very anxious with other people in the house (my son, daughter and son and daughter in laws.   Alvin does not like to be touched or physically handled. He growled and went after our blind, elder dog. He is super shy, fearful, and not enjoying life.   

When on a trip, Alvin won’t potty on walks on the leash.  He goes as long as 12-14 hours.  Won’t eat or drink.  Can’t leave him home because there isn’t anyone he will go to while we are gone.  We have tried herbal treatment, acupuncture, animal communicator, animal behaviorist, medication, many training methods.  Briefly tried EFT.  I think we have exhausted all avenues to help solve this.”

Alvin is an example of a dog who wasn’t understood and who simply didn’t understand much about what was happening in his life, why his little (blind) ’brother’ acted the way he did or why people behaved the ways they did.  Pat believed in him, and now, he is a wonderful dog and they have become an awesome, fun-loving team!

Alvin made tremendous changes with TTouch, essential oils, flower essences and animal communication.

He became a well adjusted, comfortable, confident, bright dog who was just one of the pack!
