Individually tailored workshops for animal owners

WORKSHOPS FOR ANIMAL OWNERS

My workshops are designed for animal owners who wish to maintain their animal’s health and well-being over the long term. The focus is on prevention, a holistic view of both body and mind, and the early recognition of imbalances.

​

A central component is Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), which views the animal as a whole and highlights the connections between organs, emotions, and environmental factors. This knowledge helps animal owners better understand their animal’s signals and provide supportive care in everyday life.

​

In addition, aspects of trauma therapy are integrated. These workshops provide a foundational understanding of how stress and challenging experiences can affect animals, and how safety, trust, and stability can be fostered.

​

The goal of the workshops is to empower animal owners to mindfully accompany their animals, offer preventive support, and sustainably strengthen the human–animal relationship.
