Intuitive Energy Healing for Animals and People

Craniosacral Therapy for Animals

Gentle Touch. Deep Listening. Profound Healing.

The body depends on a healthy central nervous system, which is heavily influenced by the craniosacral system (CSS). The CSS includes the brain, spinal cord and spinal fluid, surrounding membranes, and bony structures in the head and sacrum. It produces, circulates, and reabsorbs cerebrospinal fluid, creating a cranial pulse or rhythm that can be monitored by light touch on almost any part of the body.

The stress of everyday living, chronic tension, injuries, surgeries, disease, and chronic dehydration can cause loss of flexibility and structural misalignment or imbalance in the craniosacral system.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a subtle yet powerful form of bodywork that uses light touch to release tension held deep within the nervous system. Working with the rhythm of the craniosacral system—the flow of cerebrospinal fluid between the cranium (head) and sacrum (tailbone area)—this therapy supports the body’s natural ability to self-correct, realign, and heal. The goal of CST is to ease restrictions inside the skull and the spine, thus relieving stress, decreasing pain, and enhancing overall health in the central nervous system.

For animals, CST offers a safe, respectful, and deeply relaxing experience that can address a wide range of physical and emotional concerns. It allows their bodies to release stored tension, trauma, and restrictions in a way that’s intuitive and non-invasive. It complements the body’s natural healing processes, bolsters an animal’s resistance to disease, and helps with pain, orthopedic issues, injuries, anxiety, and trauma.

CST is especially supportive for animals who are:

Highly sensitive or reactive
Healing from trauma or abuse
Elderly or in hospice care
Recovering from surgery or injury
Experiencing neurological or musculoskeletal issues

What Are The Benefits

What To Expect

What Are The Benefits

CST can be helpful for animals experiencing:

Physical discomfort or pain
Head, neck, or spine tension
TMJ issues or dental imbalances
Lameness, compensation, or postural misalignment
Recovery from injury, surgery, or trauma
Digestive imbalances
Anxiety, nervousness, or behavioral shifts
Sensitivity to touch or changes in demeanor
Emotional stress or grief (including after changes in the household)

Because CST works with the central nervous system, it helps restore balance and regulation throughout the entire body. It’s especially beneficial for sensitive, reactive, or trauma-affected animals who may not respond well to traditional hands-on techniques.

What To Expect

Craniosacral Therapy sessions are quiet, gentle, and deeply intuitive.

I begin with a short consultation to understand your animal’s background, current concerns, and goals for the session. Your animal is then invited into a calm, supportive environment where they are free to move, lie down, or rest as needed. Touch is very light—no deeper than the weight of a nickel—and always guided by the animal’s comfort and consent.

During a session, I will:

Gently assess the craniosacral rhythm through subtle palpation
Feel for restrictions, tension, or energetic patterns in the body
Release restrictions in the soft tissue surrounding the central nervous system
Support natural unwinding and release at the body’s own pace
Follow intuitive and anatomical cues to encourage balance and flow
Hold space for emotional or energetic shifts with compassion and neutrality

Animals often yawn, stretch, shift positions, fall asleep, or move closer during a session. Others may process more subtly. Every response is honored as part of the healing process.

Sessions are available in-person (Durango, CO area) and may be integrated with other modalities like Reiki or Healing Touch for Animals® for a deeply holistic experience.

Testimonials

Healing happens within the context of relationship, and that is right where Beth starts!

Beth has worked with two of my dogs. One was declining from cancer, and the other was suffering from a traumatic fall. During their treatment sessions, she helped them feel safe and comfortable, and both responded immediately to Healing Touch and Craniosacral therapies, and the healing stayed with them.

Beth has always been readily available when needed, follows up as appropriate, and can be completely relied upon! Her practice is an extension of her mighty heart, and I’m grateful she is here in our community!

Before her relocation to Durango, Beth was a regular volunteer at the small animal shelter that I work for. You would not believe the difference in the dogs while she was visiting and providing them with her wonderful Reiki energy. If you’ve ever been to a shelter, you know how loud it can be. During and after her visits, the dogs became so much calmer and more relaxed. The shelter was quiet! That is the “proof in the pudding”.

Beth has helped countless “failure to thrive” kittens, mostly by distance work after providing her with a picture of the failing baby. She continues to help remotely with any animal we think could use some extra assistance. I have seen the difference it makes. I am so grateful for the valuable assistance that Beth has donated and continues to donate to shelter and rescue animals to help them have the happy, healthy life they deserve. Thank you, Beth!

I took my son to Beth, of Spirit Wolf Energetics, due to chronic muscle and joint pains. She was incredibly warm and welcoming, which quickly put him at ease. The Reiki session was calming yet somehow vibrant at the same time.

My son immediately felt less muscle tension and happily stated that his shoulder wasn’t popping as it had been earlier. As an added bonus, he slept much better that night! A huge thanks to Beth for the wonderful experience!

Beth didn’t just support me — she showed up like a soul ally when I needed it most. I had experienced an injury, and in that raw moment, she held space with such grace and strength that it felt like something bigger was at work. Strangely — and beautifully — a couple walking their dog were drawn into our situation and stayed to help until everything settled. It was as if her energy called in what was needed.
I’ve since had a Reiki session with Beth, and the only way I can describe it is: transformational. I left feeling not just relaxed, but rebalanced — as though my body had remembered something it had forgotten.
There’s something magnetic about her — the kind of quiet power that draws people in and creates instant trust. You see it in her eyes. You feel it in the room. And when she works with animals? That connection is almost beyond words. They sense her — and respond.
Beth isn’t just a healer. She’s a force of compassion, calm, and energetic precision. If you’re lucky enough to cross paths with her, don’t hesitate. Say yes.

Masha is a big, energetic Lab with loads of enthusiasm for life, but she has some fear issues that cripple her in certain environments.

She quickly calms down when Beth starts her therapy session of Healing Touch and Reiki, and the changes in her are immediately apparent. Masha’s fear lessens after her therapy, which allows her to more comfortably navigate the places that cause her stress and fear.

Thank you, Beth, for loving animals, especially mine! You absolutely make a difference.
