Stress Relief for Cats, Dogs
and Small Animals
Is your animal displaying any
of these symptoms of stress?
B.M.E. Stress
Management for animals addresses your
pet's physical and emotional stress and create an effective
treatment plan that will help you manage
their stress.
Stress relief
is achieved through the
use of situational stress assessments, environmental
recommendations, Therapeutic Touch© treatments, and
owner home care. Referrals may be made to other
practitioners i.e. massage therapist, chiropractor,
acupuncturist, veterinarian or hydrotherapy clinic.
B.M.E. Stress
Management Assessments©
and treatment plans
are done on location. They involve collecting
and analyzing information about physical conditions,
environmental factors and emotional influences that may be
contributing to the animal's current symptoms, illness or
behaviours.
Follow-up
appointments are scheduled to monitor and re-assess the
continued effectiveness of the plans and progress of the horse.
After-care may
involve environment changes, physical activity, diet and feeding schedule changes
and behavioural supports.

Client Referrals
"My dog was highly sensitive to
new people on the property. He was very protective of his
home and aggressive. His potential for biting was
increasing and I was concerned that visitors would be bitten.
Martha's treatment helped him to release his fears of not
feeling safe. She was also able to give me homeopathic and
Bach Flower remedies that would help him to be more confident
with strangers." L. S.
"My cat's time for passing had
finally come. He was diagnosed with cancer and was feeling
very lost and alone. Martha's Therapeutic Touch session
helped him pass on peacefully." M. R.
