I have recently returned from teaching advanced proficiency level classes in the Netherlands, and my heart is full. The passion and dedication I felt from each participant moved me deeply — your devotion to the animals in your care reflects everything this work was built upon.
July reminds me of openness, and of a truth I understand more fully each year: healing is never one-way. When we offer our hands and calm presence to an animal, we believe we are the ones giving. But the animals give back to us, too.
They steady our hearts and ground us in the present moment. Every time you share energy in an HTA session, you are nourished even as you serve.
So this July, as you continue your sacred work, let yourself receive. Slow down beside the animals you love, accept their comfort, and honor their quiet wisdom. You give so generously, and you are worthy of all they offer in return.
Gratitude and blessings,
