Book Synopsis

The Pet Healer Project is a collection of profiles of internationally known animal healers. From energy healing (Reiki) to small, subtle manipulations and movements (Feldenkrais), these healers work on all animals from alligators to zebras, motivated by one deeply held belief, that life--all life--is precious, that our pets are our families, and that healing is always, always possible.

For fifteen years, Sandy has written several books on healers of people; it was only after Charley, her Brussels Griffon, was attacked by a coyote and had to undergo multiple surgeries, that Sandy, fearing Charley would suffer lasting after-effects, began to look into the possibility of healers for animals. To her surprise, not only did they exist, they were extraordinary people: some with degrees in science and medicine, some teachers and best-selling authors.

You will meet a former architectural engineer who put her talents to the structure of animals; another who invented the Healing Touch for Animals^TM and has taught over 8,000 students from around the world; and a South African interspecies communicator with a message about ways to restore a deep relationship with all life. Sandy reached across the pond to the English countryside to world famous healers, one the founder of a sanctuary for former show and racing horses, another who has published books and teaches courses in animal healing.

Fourteen healers in all, each of whom fights for the lives of animals not only out of a sense of duty, but because love and compassion of animals inspire in each of us a profound sense of humanity.

The Pet Healer Project is a collection of their amazing and often miraculous stories.

Review Quotes

"One of the most extraordinary books I've ever had the pleasure of reading. It is full of positive stories about animal lovers working miracles within the animal and human kingdoms. One astonishing tale after another recounts the steps of recovery, rediscovery, transformation and healing. Every page lifts your spirit. No stranger to the metaphysical healing movement, I was nodding my agreement after each paragraph. The book is a remarkable read, well written and enthralling. I am inspired and moved by it. I wish every person on earth could read it and understand the powerful, spiritual, life-altering bond we have with animals. There were many sentences I loved from this author, but one in particular stood out in my heart. "For me, it's really about the spirit and compassion, and that underneath our differences of species, we're really the same. True healing is about healing our spirit and remembering that we are all one. And that's really what our lives are all about isn't it? Remembering that we are all one."

"A few years ago, when bringing my Collie back from a devastating paralysis, it would have been wonderful to add healers, along with doctors, to her recovery team. Sandy explores these dedicated people in the Pet Healer Project, and skillfully opens up an exploration of new understanding and connection of the bonds between our pets and ourselves.

Beautifully written and passionately expressed."

Tom Moore, Theatre and Film Director and Animal Advocate

"This brilliant work marks the emergence from a time where pets are "treated like animals." Now, for most of us, our pets are family. As family members, they receive the love and nurture they need to grow and heal. Yet as anyone who has been nurtured and healed by the warmth of a bedside dog can tell you, healing is much more than medicine. The Pet Healer Project explores the power of that connection; bringing us deep inside the mind, spirit, and practices of the pet healers that exemplify this.

Perhaps we're one step closer to a day where we focus on healing not only our pets with our minds and spirits, but also our planet."

Mark Robinson, Founder of Walkin' Wheels by HandicappedPets.com

"After producing many films around the world involving the animal kingdom, I was excited to read about these distinguished healers, teachers and veterinarians who offer new and innovative insights on how to best take care of animals. Providing a wealth of options, both mainstream and alternative, we learn of different approaches to healing, rehabilitation and communication and, most importantly, how to ensure that our beloved pets lead a happy and healthy life!"
