What Do We Mean By "Expert"?
Here at All About Animal Massage we value and encourage an attitude of life-long learning. We believe that “in the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities; in the expert’s mind there are few” (Shunryu Suzuki, Roshi). So the true Expert is someone who has significant experience, training, and talent, and who exemplifies the openness and curiosity of the beginner’s mind.
These professionals exemplify the highest standards in their fields. All of them share these important qualities:
- passion for their specialties
- devotion to animals’ health and wellness and
- dedication to educating people about animal care
They represent a broad range of achievements and expertise in:
- Sports Massage, Acupressure, Structural Integration, Lymphatic Massage, Rehabilitation Massage, Reiki, Aromatherapy, Myofascial Release, Craniosacral Therapy, Physical Therapy, Veterinary medicine, Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Saddle Fitting, and more. (See Glossary.)
- Teaching animal massage, bodywork, acupressure and related topics
- Leadership in the animal massage and bodywork industry on issues of education, standards, ethics and legislation
- A variety of species, from dogs and cats, to horses, alpacas and other livestock, to zoo animals and marine mammals and more — even humans!
