Performance Coaching & Mentoring

TTouch™ is a way of working with animals that has shown to improve performance, to encourage healing and recovery from illness or injury, and to affect permanent changes in personality and behaviour. An additional benefit is a deeper rapport between humans and animals though increased understanding and more effective communication.

Simply….The touches and ground exercises affect the nervous system, interrupting habitual patterns, and giving animals the opportunity to discover and experience their own ability to respond to challenging situations in new and different ways......They learn to think and not just react.

The TTouch approach consists of .........

OBSERVATIONS

Using visual and hands on observations the Practitioner can find areas of tension, variations in temperature and places where there could be a memory of pain from a past injury (ever clipped a toenail too short and tried to go back again later, or was injured in the past but is still wary of that part of his body? ) or  present discomfort (strain, or arthritis).

BODYWORK  Ttouch's, lifts , slides and strokes

Touches, which are circular movements of the fingers and hands all over the animal’s body. There are many different ttouch's all named after animals, used to help  different issues in the animal. The intent is to activate the function of the cells and awaken cellular intelligence, a little like "turning on the electric lights of the body." TTouch is done on the entire body, and each circular TTouch is complete within itself. Therefore it is not necessary to understand anatomy to be successful in speeding up the healing of injuries or ailments, or changing undesirable habits or behaviour.

GROUNDWORK

Leading exercises, which enables your dog to override old patterns of movement and behaviour without the use of fear or force.  The groundwork improves co-ordination, confidence, focus, self control, balance and co-operation.  It teaches patience and co-ordination by setting the animal up to succeed and can help change your animal’s energy from ‘reactive’ energy to ‘thinking’ energy.

Please note: We receive referrals and work with many veterinary practices.

 Whilst benefiting many animals suffering from illness, injury and old age, TTouch is not a replacement for appropriate veterinary care and should never be used as such. TTouch is very much complimentary to veterinary care for the health and benefit of your animals. If you suspect your animal has a medical condition you should contact your vet immediately.
