The 5 Element theory is part of Chinese Medicine. It helps us understand the underlying imbalance that leads to symptoms of disease. It also gives us an insight into any animal’s character, individual needs, and which remedies, diet and training will best suit them.
In this lesson you will learn how to recognise the basic responses of different species and how to offer the botanicals safely. We will collaborate to build a shortlist for an animal. Afterwards you will build a shortlist for one of your own animals and practice offering to them.
Stress is the major cause of all illness and behaviour problems. Reducing stress is a basic tenet of the APA system. In this lesson you will learn basic ethology and evolutionary needs of dogs, horses and cats, how to recognise the stresses of a domestic environment, and how to reduce stress and provide a species appropriate lifestyle, even if you live in a city. We also cover nutrition – a major stress.
TCM basics, covering the underlying principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and its relevance to health and wellbeing. TCM meridians, what they are, where they can be found and how they work. With Neomi David L.Ac
The meridian balance assessment allows you to understand the root of any problem and select the best aromatics to offer the animal to help him/her rebalance. You can also check which nutrition is good or not good. This is a core tool in the APA system, it allows you to connect directly with an animal on a physical, mental, energetic level, a unique communication.
How and When to use topical application. How to make gels and clays for wounds, strains, 1st aid, itchy skin, while still respecting the self-selection process
Accordion Content
In this lesson you will learn what to say, what not to say and how to present yourself confidently to a client, as well as professional conduct and legalities. We will talk about the practicalities from pricing, to intake protocol, to the end of case study and prepare you to offer your services to the world. We also cover the emotional mirroring that happens with animals and their people, and develop your skills in supporting people.
In this lesson we will be focussing on observation of responses and how to explain what you see to a client. Then you will practice everything we have been learning as you work with a partner, your first ‘client’, to present your findings from the MBA you have done for her and explain how it all works.
