Keeping our animal companions happy and healthy is what we all strive for, by
maintaining proper nutrition, plenty of exercise, and quality time with our
families. Preventative care, such as wellness visits with your veterinarian, are
also important for an animal to maintain overall good health. Many other
holistic modalities contribute to our animal's life and complement veterinary
care, such as Reiki, Acupressure, Fascial Energetics work, Energy work, and EFT
(Emotional Freedom Technique).
Alyson is devoted to promoting
balance, wellness, and harmony for our animal companions with alternative
techniques that complement regular veterinary care. She combines Reiki,
energy healing, Massage, Acupressure, and Fascial Energetic work to return our
companions to a state of homeostasis. The benefits of these techniques are
improving and maintaining muscle tone, improving digestion, increasing blood
circulation, improving lymph circulation, flushing out toxins from the body,
reducing stress and anxiety, releasing endorphins for reducing pain, enhancing
mental clarity, resolving past injuries, building the immune system, relieving
muscle spasms, and balancing emotions.
During the session, the animal's chakras are cleared, the aura is cleansed, the
fascia around the muscles is stretched, tension is released, and the body's
meridians are assessed and returned to balance. For the consultation
aspect of the session, she will assess the animal's history and medical and home
life. Alyson can also assist with nutritional suggestions, diet changes,
vitamins or supplements, exercise requirements, sleeping habits, socialization,
and home environment. She acts as an "Interspecies Life Coach" to help not
only the animal, but also the family and guardians in an effort for all to
return to harmony.
These modalities are not intended to replace veterinary care, but only to
complement it. Alyson does not diagnose illness, provide medication, nor
perform surgery or any veterinary care.
Each session is unique depending on the needs of the animal. An assessment
is conducted and the technique is applied, which can include aromatherapy, color
therapy, Flower Essences, and crystal therapy. Every animal is in charge
of its own session, which means that s/he will only take the amount of energy
it needs at the time, so a session could vary in time. Please bring water
for the animal after the session, and please plan to not feed
anything for 2 hours prior to 2 hours after the session.
Alyson is available for sessions on Sense and Spirit Saturdays as well as by
appointment. 30 minutes are allotted for each appointment so she can
gather a brief history and then apply a technique. 15-minute
sessions are not available. Her fee is $50 per 30-minute session.
Alyson has had the opportunity and ability to stay connected with animals her whole life. She grew up in a
small New Jersey town where she learned from the animals around her, both in the
wild and her own companion dogs. She has always felt a sense of connection
to the natural world that provides her a unique way of communication and helping
animals.
She has been studying and utilizing holistic modalities for 15 years, both on
herself and her dogs. She worked as a Veterinary Technician for over 10
years, after which she worked with a holistic and Integrated veterinarian for a
year.
In 1991 she earned her Master Dog Groomer certification from the Nash Institute
of the Animal Arts, and in 1995 earned her Master Dog Training and Dog Behavior
certifications from National K9. She has also earned certifications in
Reiki (Master Teacher), Crystal Healing, and Flower Essences, studied EFT
(Emotional Freedom Technique), Aromatherapy, Animal Communication, Massage and
Fascial Energetics, and will be learning Raindrop Therapy in Fall 2010.
She is certified as a Small Animal Acupressure Practitioner (SAAP) and is
continuing her studies
for Equine.
Alyson resides in New Jersey with her husband, three sons, and 2 Labrador
Retrievers. She volunteers at her local animal shelter, a horse farm for
Hippotherapy, and maintains her private practice, "Our Natural Path" where she
consults on nutrition, healing modalities, and behavior.
Alyson draws from her deep love and connection with animals to help her clients
with the best possible care. She believes that with a trusting, bonding
relationship, proper nutrition, exercise, and good health practices that
balance, wellness, and harmony can be achieved and maintained for a greater
quality of life.
