Pet Energy Healing
$60 for a 30 min session**
When April works with animals they tend to guide her hands where they are experiencing energy blocks. Once she sees the energy, she then touches the areas to encourage them to surrender to an energetic release. Allowing energy to re-enter and flow through the body results in a clear and balanced field of energy throughout the entire body. This generates energetic healing; it creates a positive change within your pet: emotionally, mentally, and physically. During April's sessions with animals, communication often naturally occurs. Her intent is to assist the animal to heal and to enrich the relationship between the animal and their owner.
Pet Photography Sessions
April offers outdoor sessions, on location. She focuses on the love and bond between you and your fur baby. Though her clients often have reasons for scheduling, like senior photos or holiday portraits, many want to make time for a photo session just because. And just because you love your dog is reason enough!
For no extra fee, all sessions include:
* Consultation either via phone, Skype, or in person

How did you hone your craft?
I'm an experienced animal caregiver. I'm not your typical petsitter - my job is to care for all things great and small. In my adult life, I have owned, loved and cared for ferrets, hamsters, gerbils, mice, rats, chinchillas, dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, sheep, goats and horses. I am currently owned by my four pets - two purrfect cats and two rebarkable dogs. My love for animals began as a child, growing up on a family farm where I trained and bred horses, as well as dogs. In addition to family pets, I would also bring home injured and sick animals. My mom never knew what type of animal I was bringing home next! I recognized from an early age that animals are deserving of love, respect, and expert care. Since 2002, I have cared for healthy and sick creatures. I have also provided help for many animals that were rescued from abusive or neglectful situations. One of the greatest times of growth for me was the year that I worked incredibly hard with another volunteer to foster animals. I cared for iguanas, ferrets, dogs, cats - and even a bearded dragon! I developed a strong bond with these animals, each of whom was eventually adopted. I truly love working with all varieties of animals and getting to know each one's unique personality. Each animal touches my heart, and bring me joy. I can't wait to meet the special pet in your life!
What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?
Each animals is different and has differnet needs; just like people. So, we always take time to learn how to best meet the needs of each animal.
