Testimonial

Barney is a rescued toy poodle, approximately 14 years old, with no significant health issues other than blindness and very mild stiffness in his hind end (for which he received chiropractic and osteopathic treatments in the past). 

Barney received a series of 3 distance energy and Bowen sessions from Liz beginning on March 27/23. On the morning of March 28th, he went out for his usual morning pee, except he sniffed and explored the entire backyard too - he has not done this since his first week with us when we adopted him 5 years ago! Clearly, he was feeling safer, more curious, and independent. Later that same day, he kept looking intently at my face (even though he is blind with inoperable cataracts), and his eyes looked clearer. I asked him if he wanted to play, which he absolutely did! Usually he just sleeps most of the time. 

The next day, he continued to seem more alert and wanted to play and do more, rather than sleep. The day after, I noticed that when he hopped up the last step to get into the house, he was jumping higher than usual, clearing the step by a full inch - he had "air"- more spring in his mobility. Pretty good for an old guy with supposed stiffness! 

On April 13th, my younger son, who does not spend much time with our dog asked, "Why is Barney getting more lively when he is supposed to be getting older and slowing down?" Even he had noticed, and I had not told him about Liz's work. It is now early May. Barney continues to sleep less, play more, and explore more, not only his own backyard, but out in the community as well - our walks have gotten much longer now and we call him Mr. Sniffy! He also has started using his dog bed to rest or sleep, rather than following me around like a shadow or lying on top of me. 

It is like he is 5 years younger, but more secure and independent. I told Liz it was an "anti-aging" treatment! We are so thankful to have met her. Liz is compassionate, skilled, and genuine. She has given Barney a better quality of life, and he truly deserves the best that life has to offer. We would not hesitate to ask for her to work with him again, should he need.

Thank you so much, Liz.
