Hello! My name is Barbara Blake. I have loved animals since I can remember. Always wanting to be around them no matter how big or small they were.
When I had a quarter horse gelding colic, go through surgery, and then founder, I started looking into massage techniques to see if it might help him during his recovery. I spent hours in his stall doing massage and along with great vet and farrier care, my efforts paid off! He was back in the show ring the following show season!
When my two beautiful golden retrievers, Jack and Jillie were nearing their later years, I wanted to keep them both for as long as I could, keeping them as healthy and happy as possible. I didn't like the fact that I was told repeatedly that they were old, I needed to accept it, and the only offering to help with senior dog issues were typical pharmaceuticals that would leave them not feeling themselves. I also couldn't reduce the weight for Jillie without feeling like I was starving her. This started me down the path of investigating and learning about energy healing and the benfits of home cooked meals and raw feeding vs kibble.
I am now a certified Canine & Equine Massage Therapist, Animal and Human Reiki Practitioner, Nutritional Consultant, and working on finishing my certification for Cold Laser Therapy and Animal Communication.
I have so much gratitude for all of the beautiful animals I've had the privilege of sharing this life with and learning so much from each one of them. Let me help your pets live their best life!
