In order to be efficient and create a shorter custom class, I ask that you
try to do the following prior to class:
These are subjects covered in our longer class and I feel are important to
your certification with La Paw Spa. If you are unable to complete these 6 items, you will still obtain a level one certificate but need all 6 in order to obtain your level 2 certificate.
- Go enjoy a therapy session of WATSU and write to me what you felt in the
water… don’t think about it while you’re receiving but later, write me your
thoughts on water as a medium for work – was it more profound or emotional
than you thought ? We need to begin to embrace the potential of water so we
can be responsible with it… - Read a book on listening skills ( a couple of suggestions below) and then
go consciously apply them in 3 different conversations and explain to me how
that felt for you. - Take some kind of hands on healing class for dogs – it can be massage,
ttouch, energy work, etc… Tell me what you like about it, the benefits,
etc. - Understand basic anatomy of the dog – the bony landmarks – i.e. the elbow,
knee, hip, etc… - Briefly write me a list from head to toe of the most common injuries and
surgeries for a dog. - Write me a story about how you have used ‘intuition’ in some situation and
where you felt it in your body – i.e. a feeling in your gut, an image in your
head – etc… Just tell me about that is for you and how it works in your
world…
