Perspective from an Animal Behavior Professional, Martha Norwalk
I am an animal behavior therapist; dog trainer and radio talk show host and it is a show about animals. I have pretty much devoted my career and life to animals, which included almost twenty years working in veterinary medicine, I have a degree in veterinary technology. As a behaviorist and trainer my goal has been to understand animals, especially dogs and cats, why they do what they do and then most especially how to extinguish bad behavior, replace with new and as quickly as possible solve the problems people have with them.
I work with people privately in their homes to share what I have learned, teach them how to live with their animals, mostly dogs, and solve their problems. I usually only need to see them once. I have been doing this professionally for more than sixty years! I say I take a holistic approach which to me means, I share everything I have found that helps our animal friends with emotional, behavioral and even physical problems.
Over the years I have learned or discovered many things, sometimes general and sometimes very specific, that help me help my clients and their animal friends. I am usually working with the worst of the worst and most challenging behavior cases in dogs and with all the helpful tools I have accumulated in my toolbox we are very successful in bringing these dogs back into balance and good behavior. Besides what I do for my clients and dogs, I explain that the other tools we can take advantage of may be remedies, supplements, processes or procedures or involve other practitioners. That brings me to Dr Nels Rasmussen.
Often, I learn of new stuff because of my radio show about animals, sometimes from guests on the show or listeners that share with me. I do work outside the square so to speak when needed so I am usually open and willing to look at anything that might be helpful and since I know we attract to ourselves what we need to learn and grow from, I try to pay attention.
This is how Dr Nels first crossed my path. It was a long time ago, years and years but I can't tell you how many. It began when I started getting phone calls from listeners, then clients and then even from friends of mine. All telling me I had to check out Dr Nels and the work he was doing to help and heal animals and every one of them had a story to tell me. It all sounded so "woo woo" and strange to me that I kept ignoring what all these folks were trying to tell me! I was not interested and was not going to contact him, I just couldn't be bothered!
Then, out of the blue, I received an invitation from Dr Nels to attend, for free, a workshop he was doing in the area. My calendar was open that day, so I agreed to attend. It was an introductory workshop in an arena/barn at an Equine Vet's place.
Dr Nels began by explaining his work and what it was all about. Then he asked for a human volunteer. That would be me! He had me get on his table, checked me out, found something and in just a few short minutes solved a physical problem that I had had for most of my life!
Then someone brought into the vet a horse having an emergency case of colic. This can be very serious and life threatening. Dr Nels stopped the workshop and walked over and began putting his fingers on the horse. In less than 10 minutes the horse had stopped colicing and was back to normal! Amazing, and I was now onboard and wanted to know more.
After getting to know Dr Nels and learning more about Neuro-Energetic Balancing, I of course, realized it is not "woo woo" at all. It is a legitimate energetic healing modality that anyone can learn how to do. With techniques like this, I have found that some are better at it than others. After years of working with him I now believe that Dr Nels is one of the most gifted healers I have ever met.
Because of that and the fact that this is energetic healing and there is no issue with distance, I asked Dr Nels to be a regular guest on my radio show. He has been doing the show with me now, once a month, for years and it has become consistently our most popular show. I could go on for pages telling you stories of how he healed or changed behavior in animals just by doing a remote treatment on the show!
I also carry his cards with me and often "prescribe him" for my client's animals, usually dogs when I am doing a session with them. Since I work with extreme cases, these dogs are often rescues, have been traumatized in so many ways, and are basket cases due to the past trauma or abuse.
Dr Nels is able to balance their physical bodies, especially their nervous systems which helps us extinguish bad behavior and replace with new so much faster. In some cases, it would be impossible without Dr Nels' help! Dr Nels Rasmussen is the best tool I have added to my box in at least 20 years!!!
