Energy work
I explore blocks, restore balance, & amplify health. I can assist before, during, & after surgery, & help them find more comfort if they are suffering. I use animal Reiki and draw on my experience as a certified craniosacral therapist.
Tribe
If you have multiple animals, I will usually work with the group. I explore the dynamics and get a better perspective from all of them. Herd animals are especially attuned to one another and require careful work.
Urgent Care & Transitions
If something serious arises and you can’t wait for my normal hours, let’s see what we can do. I can help before, during, and after surgeries. If your animal is transitioning, I can help you speak with them and gauge the timing.
About me
Hi, I’m Claudia Putnam. I live in the PNW with two huskies & a cat. I work with clients worldwide,
When I began working with animals, I already had a Craniosacral Therapy practice. I was modifiying & applying these techniques with pets . (I still offer CST to people, too.) During COVID, I provided human clients with distance sessions. I was astonished at how intense & vivid these experiences were, & I found that distance actually improved sessions with animals – whether I came to their homes, or they came to mine, animals were often stressed or at least distracted.
Also during COVID, I had a dog with serious behavioral issues & constant pain from a congenital hip issue. I’d had that same condition myself & knew how much it could hurt. After lots of training & behavioral vet consults, I decided to find a communicator. We learned so much from these sessions. Aster was able to communicate her “side” of the matter & to share her deep grief over losing her previous family.
I decided I too wanted to do this work. Building on techniques I’d developed as a Certified Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist, I studied to become a Certified Reiki Animal Practitioner. I enhance my practice with sound healing. Of all the work I do, I feel that supporting human-animal families is the most rewarding.
I believe that on some level I have been doing this all my life.
