Sarah Knowles - Healing Practitioner

Sarah Knowles - Healing Practitioner 'Harmonising Bond Between Owner & Dog'. Qualified to combine Positive Reinforcement Dog Training & Holistic Therapy through Reiki & Crystal Healing.

Promoting health and well-being for both owner & dog. Having been a positive reinforcement dog trainer for over 12 years, I decided to open my own business back in 2021, The Woof Hub Ltd. The Woof Hub was designed to be a 'One Stop Shop' for 'All Things Dog'. And, as The Woof Hub went from strength to strength I decided I wanted to pursue another passion of mine and really thrive with a variety of services under one roof. I am qualified in Animal Management with a Level 3 Diploma, and as mentioned have over 12 years knowledge and experience in positive reinforcement training. But sometimes it's the right moment to make another progression! I was already under going a BSc (Hons) Psychology Degree with the Open University but deep down the spiritual healing was something I was driven to learn and practice. I knew I was an empath and was spiritually open from around 11 years old so have always felt comfortable with this type of healing. In 2022 I decided it was now my time, and so, began my future career goals working in perfect harmony alongside my current one! I signed up to become a Reiki Practitioner and with training, attunements, meditation and hard work I am almost ready to pass my Level 1&2 Diploma. I have been nurturing my abilities as I grow and develop with great success. I am also studying Animal Crystal Healing and shortly will hold a Level 3 Diploma in this sector too. Combining my passion for dogs, their welfare, nutrition and positive reinforcement training alongside the holistic healing therapy I know I can offer your dogs the perfect package when it comes to their over all wellbeing. I can even do humans too...

So, what is it I exactly plan to do going forwards? Well... this!

I have recently created a channel on YouTube (yay go me!) where I will showcase treatments with both dogs and owners as they em'bark (see what I did there!) on their healing journey.

Yesterday I gave Scampi a treatment, he LOVED it. Full description can be found on the YouTube video.

Please take a watch and share with me your thoughts...

I am taking on new clients for these treatments from 29th March for anyone wishing to book in.

This morning I'm taking a quite time reflecting on this new book by The Healing Vet + Whole Energy Body Balance. I've followed this guy for a while on socials and fully appreciate his work. I can certainly understand why he is so successful in his field l.

I am very much looking forward to delving deeper into his concepts and applying it to my already extensive wealth of knowledge where I can really help to understand both owner and dog in their healing process.

This journey is a very exciting one, that's for sure!

Behind the scenes I've been practising channelling my Reiki Healing Energy into some of the dogs while in our care with me @ Total Dog - Daycare, Training & Grooming. This gives me a huge access to a variety of dogs all with different levels of energy.

I am absolutely LOVING this new career move and for me personally, I've never felt so excited to be exploring a new realm of training and therapy. I can't wait to be able to treat both owners and dogs while they embark on their bonding journey.

Last year I moved out of my family home which I shared with my then husband and our wonderful 2 children.

It's taken me a while to move my things into my new abode but yesterday I went back and got my craft items and the my current collection of spiritual books.

It feels so good to have than back with me again. Read my Tarot this evening; right on point as always 👌.

I can't wait to use these again and focus on my journey into the spiritual world of holistic therapy.

I am SUPER pleased to announce that I have been accepted as an Associate Member with UKRF after successfully completing my Reiki 1 course last week.

I am so excited to be on this journey. I am passionate about the standard of training I deliver to all my clients and their dogs and this will be no exception. For me, there are 100's of Reiki Teachers out there but I made the jouney to Oxford to ensure I was being trained my a UKRF teacher. As a dog trainer working in an already saturated, unregulated profession it is difficult enough to ensure all credentials are of upmost standard. I wanted to ensure I could be fully accredited in this field, for me this had to be by becoming a member of UKRF.

I will soon be linking Animal Crystal Healing, Reiki and Positive Reinforcement Dog Training to deliver a unique training program to increase bond for owner and dog.

Stay tuned for more 🌓

On to day 2 of my Reiki 1 Worksop.

Yesterday I found incredible. It was intense but incredible!

It was an early start followed by theory, self treatments, treatment on others, receiving a treatment and then 2 attunements.

I came back to the accommodation and I truly felt frazzled. I was a bit irritable, tired and felt drained. I found something nice for tea and decided to go on a walk for 40 minutes. This allowed me time to gaze at the stars, breathe some fresh air and catch up with a friend on the phone. Once I'd done this I felt much better.

Slept like a log last night!

Ready for day 2!

Well... this side to my current business didn't quite go to plan and since it's launch in 2023 I haven't been able to pick it up as much as I thought I would!

I had quite a challenging 2024 rebranding The Wood Hub to Total Dog and building other elements to that already successful business. But, it meant that any personal growth and development had to go on the back burner.

But...

I am back and I am able to give this my focus and attention gowing into 2025. Starting with some in person Reiki 1 training tomorrow down in Oxford with Rebecca Nichol - Reflexology, Reiki, Indian Head Massage in Banbury. I have done my online training in Reiki 1&2 but want to push to become a registered practitioner here in the UK with UK Reiki Federation. I'm so excited to get stuck in this year and focus more on me than Total Dog as a whole; that's happy doing its thing!

Bring it on 💪

I am so proud to announce that Badger, my Teckle (wire haired Dachshund) has been accepted onto the PAWS Therapy Dog Training course and will be starting his modules in August.

This will be a massive leap in training as a Healing Practitioner and I truly am so excited to be going on this journey!

I know my page has been quiet, I've been caring for a friend since March who sadly passed away a couple of weeks ago so all my focus was in a different direction to this one. However, I am back giving it full throttle (as always!)

BRING ON THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR!

Oh Yeahhh! This has taken hours and hours to study and complete. I've over 40 pages of typed documentation to go along side it but it was worth every single letter pressed!

I am so excited to be able to combine different training and therapies for you and your dogs. This is something I've always been passionate about and know I've got the skills it takes to bring out the best in your relationship with them.

Now to complete my Reiki Healing Course. Attunements on Monday for Level 1 and then on to Level 2! YAY.

It's a hello and welcome from Scampi and I! I am blown away to already have so many new followers who are showing support with this venture.

Scampi was one of the main reasons I decided I wanted to explore other ways to treat behavioural issues with dogs. Scampi came to me at 6 weeks old already showing a great deal of issues. Together we've worked through these but recently I noticed he had new triggers and issues arising. Some of these were related to me and how he now perceived me in our relationship.

I knew I needed to turn things around and that's when I embarked on helping rebuild our bond with the use of all the training I already know and love, but by combining holistic approaches too.

Needless to say the results have been outstanding. I've worked on some issues I felt I was struggling with while working on Scamps energies. Together we've rebuilt our bond.

He truly is my best mate. (Don't tell the other 3 😉)

For decades I've known I was a bit 'different'. I could feel energy, emotions and pick up on gut instincts very easily. As the years rolled on I've always dabbled in all things 'spirit' and have always felt that there was more to the universe that meets the eye. I regularly went in search of nature, water & woodland walks. To feel the breeze, listen to the waves, seek the sounds of birds and look for an opening bud. They soothed my soul.

I have been a positive reinforcement dog trainer for over 10 years and have always felt that I could bring something so naturally to the table in this field. But, any dog trainer will tell you that you spend a certain % of the time training the owner as well as the dog!

Over the years I have build some strong bonds with clients who have felt they could open up to me about personal restraints that they felt stopped them developing the ultimate bond with their dog. I've listened intently and have then been able to tailor my training to help both the handler and their dog. I've always felt so privileged to be entrusted with some stories I've been told. But, in being able to hear them I've been able to help on a much deeper level. The outcomes have been remarkable.

I want to do this more and more. I wanted to be qualified to help the owners as much as I could help their dogs. To be able to use sessions to help shift blockages within handlers which were restraining them from getting better results.

I wanted to be able to combine my wealth of knowledge of positive reinforcement training along side my holistic therapy techniques and begin to help realign both handler and dogs energy. I know these sessions will be like nothing else anyone will ever experience and I can't wait to get stuck in.

So what will my new training sessions involve? 'Foundation to Realignment & Bonding' is a concept I've created where we combine the positive training techniques and holistic therapy together to generate a bond between you and your dog.

These sessions will consist of a consultation where we talk about the issues you're facing with your dog. (Don't worry, I won't be asking for you to divulge your deepest secrets, I will simply read the energy that's in the room). We will go through the chakras and discuss each energy field. We will discuss diet (the dogs, not yours 😉) and look at what treatments I believe is most suitable. We also look take a look at calming techniques.

From there you'll be given some positive training techniques to increase your trust and bond, along side some meditating exercises. I will also send you away with a recommendation for suitable diet to aid in this process (if I think there is something more suitable).

I will then see you 2 weeks later for a holistic therapy session for your dog only which I'll ask you to attend quietly and in a relaxed manner so you can observe the session. This is recorded so we can go over the session afterwards and discuss my findings.

Following this I then see you 2 weeks later where I will do another healing session on both handler and dog which is when we should really see the energy fields moving. Again this is recorded for playback purposes only.

2 weeks later we will conclude the Foundation to Realignment Bonding sessions where you should be able to identify clear differences in your bond with your dog.

I am so excited to be able to offer this treatment and I'm now taking bookings for May 2023!
