So I’ve just been out in Romania to ELI for Animals - the dog and cat rescue I help run. On this trip I met Cassey, she came into the care of ELI mid November 2025. Her backstory is that she’s a young dog that had a traumatic start in life. She came from public shelter Botosani which is one of the worst in Romania. She came to the sanctuary in a bag and was skin and bones and didn’t think she’d make it as she was in such a bad way. She came to the ELI shelter for a chance of survival, she has a spinal injury which is why she’s quite robotic in her walk. Shes on strong pain meds and the vets are hoping she will heal and not need surgery as it would be very tricky. As you can see she is the sweetest dog! I obviously very much wanted to sit with her and give her some energy healing. Of course, being a young dog she loves to play and have a fuss and also gets distracted by the other dogs barking. I filmed some of the session as you can see. I had Animal Whispers playing in the background by Elizabeth Whiter & Tim Wheater which I often play during my healing sessions. Not all animals are going to lie down and goto sleep during a session! Some animals find the energy too intense and prefer to keep some distance or because they’re not used to it. It’s the little moments of calm and holding space for the animal that matter and you often find that later on they sleep well too as healing continues after the session and with their body still processing it.
