Reiki:
Reiki is an ancient Japenese healing art, it means "Universal Life Energy". The practitioner places their hands on or slightly above the body. Light energy is drawn through the practitioner and intuitively goes to where it is needed most in the client's body. Animals are very responsive to Reiki. A treatment can last anywhere from 15 minutes up to an hour depending on how much energy the animal chooses to take in. Reiki can do no harm to the client.

Canine Ear Coning:
Ear Coning is also known as "Ear Candling". Ear Coning, is a soothing, non-invasive and painless old home remedy. It safely and gently stimulates the ear's natural ability to cleanse and balance. Ear Coning embraces Eastern Medicine philosophy of whole-body wellness through the accessing of the body's innate energy pulse centers. It is known to heighten relaxation, alleviate stress and to bring about harmony in health and attitude while detoxing and cleansing. A cone shaped hollow beeswax candle is placed into the ear and ignited. As the candle burns it creates an upward vacuum that draws the impurities from the ear canal. A special adapter is used during the process to ensure that no wax enters the animal's ear.
