ANIMAL HEALING - I have always loved the energy of cats -- their ability to relax, soak in the sunshine and help transform a chaotic feeling into a tranquil one. My father was my first teacher in understanding the natural world. His love and compassion for animals became part of my life's philosophy towards animals. Because of that, my need to help and assist animals throughout my life has been important to me. My life has always been shared with cats, dogs, horses and other assorted friends of the earth. The work that I do applies to the animal kingdom as well as humans. I have assisted friends and family members with the healing of their pet companions.
