Canine Raindrop Technique
“pamper YOUR DOG TO THE MAX!”
Originally created for people with back tension, this amazing aromatherapy massage has been found to help dogs, horses and other animals too!
Incorporating energy balancing, Tibetan reflexology, therapeutic-grade essential oils and massage, Raindrop Technique is a transformational tool that brings balance to all systems of the body.
Whether your dog is in need of physical or emotional support, Canine Raindrop Technique is a “must!”.
Who is it for?
Canine Raindrop Technique is so much more than a massage. It targets your dog’s paws, hind legs, back and spine with a unique combination of ancient and modern bodywork and massage techniques, combined with the pure life-force of therapeutic-grade essential oils. It’s perfectly suited to any dog that is:
- Experiencing deep-seated physical or emotional tension
- Dealing with any type of muscular tension in their neck/back
- Recovering from injury, illness or loss
- Wanting to stay in peak physical condition for performance
- Requiring a unique technique that intelligently targets the body’s needs
What is Canine Raindrop Technique?
Canine Raindrop Technique is a unique modality that comprises 3 steps, each unlocking a new, amazing experience for your dog’s health and wellbeing:
Step 1 – The Valor Balance:
This energy balancing step uses the essential oil blend “Valor” to create deep relaxation. This blend inspires courage, strength and confidence. It has the same frequency as the skeleton, so it instructs the muscles to let go and the spine to sit in its perfectly balanced position.
Step 2 – VitaFlex Technique:
In Step 2, VitaFlex Technique (ancient Tibetan reflexology) is performed from the paws to the ankles on each of the hind legs. Seven different essential oils are applied to your dog’s legs during this step.
Designed to balance and energise the physical spine via its reflex points in the feet, VitaFlex Technique employs a rhythmic rolling movement, very different to Western Reflexology. Most dogs find this step extremely relaxing.
Step 3 – Oils “Raindropped” on the Spine, Feathered in & Massaged:
Nine different essential oils and blends are dripped along the dog’s spine and “feathered in” using soft fanning movement of the practitioner’s hands. Each feathering stroke draws the oil up the spine to the organs of the body, invigorating the whole body.
The oils and feathering are interspersed with a variety of massage steps, which loosen the muscles along the back, release tension, promote relaxation and encourage healthy detox, thus bringing all the benefits of a great massage to the physical body.
ARE ESSENTIAL OILS SAFE FOR DOGS?
Most essential oils on the market today contain synthetic ingredients and other adulterants, even if they are labelled 100% pure. These ingredients are toxic to the liver, and not recommended to be used on the body. So to answer the question “Are essential oils safe for dogs?”, it’s important to talk about quality. The essential oils used in Canine Raindrop Technique are guaranteed to be:
- Therapeutic-grade. This means they are produced with low temperature, low pressure steam distillation in order to retain all the potent natural chemicals from the plant. The result is an essential oil that produces outstanding results, at the same time being gentle on the body.
- Produced without any chemicals, including during the growing and distilling process. The essential oils we use in Canine Raindrop Technique are “beyond organic” standards, and free of all adulterants.
- Every batch of essential oils is run through 15 tests, 3 times before bottling and 3 times after bottling. That’s 90 tests in total, to ensure that what is in the bottle is pure, unadulterated and safe for you and your animals.
Dogs respond to essential oils the same as any person. They are individuals, and some love the smell, some don’t. How you introduce a dog to essential oils is important, to ensure a positive association that will allow Canine Raindrop Technique to be something your dog loves to receive.
There are certain safety precautions to be aware of, especially when working on dogs that are young, elderly, or with compromised health. Our practitioners are skilled in understanding which oils to avoid or use with caution in specific situations, such as with a pregnant dog, and how to adjust the potency of their Canine Raindrop Technique to match the needs and health history of each dog.
What our dog owners say…
As a certified Raindrop Technique practitioner (since 2014), I was already well familiar with this technique, yet was impressed with how these courses presented additional information specific to these animals so that students can learn to independently customise every treatment.
Susan is highly skilled with people and animals and was confident, patient, and thorough in her delivery. This makes her trainings not only professional and effective, but also enjoyable.
