The Path to Pawthentic Touch: A Healing Journey

I have always been deeply sensitive to the world around me. As a young adult, health challenges led me to Energy Medicine, igniting a transformation in my awareness, identity, and ability to move through life. When my beloved dog Daisy suffered a back injury and conventional medicine suggested euthanasia, I refused to accept that as her only path. Instead, I sought alternatives, and in my search, I discovered Healing Touch for Animals®—a turning point that would change everything.

Through more than 400 hours of hands-on training, Daisy became both my healer and greatest teacher, showing me the depth of healing possible when we listen to the body’s energy and wisdom. Every technique—from balancing chakras and supporting vertebral alignment to channeling life force and releasing trauma—played a role in her recovery, guiding us through an unexpected journey of healing and resilience. Daisy lived another nine years, nearly reaching the age of eighteen, and her journey solidified my calling to support animals in their healing.

With over a decade of experience, I bring the wisdom gained from my journey into every interaction, offering gentle healing, energetic balance, and a nurturing space for deep connection. Whether supporting recovery, fostering wellness, or simply providing comfort, my commitment is to honor the profound bond between humans and animals.

What began as a deeply personal journey has grown into a space that reflects the collective wisdom of energy healing and connection. Now I look forward to walking this path with you. -Matt

Approach & Philosophy

Healing is a collaborative process—an exchange of energy, trust, and presence between animal, practitioner, owner, and veterinarian.

Drawing from multiple disciplines, each session is tailored to the animal’s unique energy state, supporting their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

• Techniques are applied with gentle precision, ensuring balance across chakras, life force channels, and energetic fields.
• Healing is facilitated through listening and attunement—adjusting methods based on the animal’s responses rather than imposing rigid formulas.
• Whether supporting recovery, resilience, or relaxation, the focus remains on restoring flow, clearing stagnation, and enhancing vitality.

This approach is intuitive yet grounded, blending technique with sensitivity to meet each animal exactly where they are.

Honoring the animal’s true essence, each session taps into their unique needs and capacity for healing. By listening deeply and working in harmony with each animal’s unique energy, we cultivate a space where healing unfolds organically.

• Authenticity is the foundation—each session is guided by the animal’s true needs, rather than expectation or assumption.
• Healing is a process of harmonizing energy, not forcing change. The body has an innate ability to heal; my role is to support that natural process.
• Animals exist in a state of pure presence, making energetic work deeply reciprocal and intuitive.
• Every interaction is an opportunity to cultivate trust, balance, and connection, fostering deeper well-being for the animal and their caregiver.

This philosophy ensures we remain intuitive, gentle, and deeply respectful of each animal’s unique essence.
