The last time we "talked", I had just signed a 10 year lease for
commercial space so that I could build my dream spa. It seemed like
such a simple thing to do. Little did I know that the next 6 months of
my life would be one of the most challenging times in my life - a time
where all my dreams were threatened, questioned and put to a
test...
A Spa Is Born - Part 2

What makes a commercial space perfect for a canine hydrotherapy
center you might ask? Access, safety, ceiling height, grass, legal
zoning, zen potential to name just a few things. I knew as soon as I
walked into this building that it was perfect.

What is Canine Water Therapy?
After all these years I thought I knew the definition of Canine Water Therapy but then I met Sarah, who expanded
the definition into an entirely new dimension that I had not yet

The Wonderful World of Fascia - Part 2
In Fascia: That
Which Connects Us, I talked about fascia: a connective tissue in
the body that supports, but can also restrict movement. In school we
used to take photographs of the humans we worked on and noted how they

recipients of this work would usually comment on how their clothes fit
differently after their session.
I have been doing fascia release work with dogs now for a few years
and yet I have never had a measurement to show the profound change -
until I met Biz.

Book or Music Report
In each issue I feature my current book or music favorite. Today
it's Detaching the World Vol. 1 - Ambient Music for Massage/Relaxation/Meditation.
.
Many times during these last 6 months of construction stress, I
found myself wanting to just be transported away to music. This album,
Detaching the World - Volume 1 - was just the ticket out. The slow
constant rhythms gave the left brain something to think about and then
away you gooooo...
WARNING: Do NOT listen to this CD if you have ANYTHING to do
!!!
I'm building a comprehensive set of resources out on
my website - be sure to check it
