This year, the Tellington TTouch® method celebrates its 50th anniversary!
Since Linda Tellington-Jones and her sister Robyn Hood developed this beautiful method, so many people have already learned how to apply it for so many different species. I have been lucky to teach many workshops for cats (and dogs and rabbits) in the Netherlands and Belgium. In Dutch of course 🙂
As part of this anniversary I am giving this online basic workshop TTouch for cats in English this year to reach more cat lovers worldwide and introduce you to this beautiful method.
So have you always wanted to know what TTouch is? For your own cats or the cats you work with?
Then join this workshop!
During this online workshop, in addition to some theory and philosophy about the method, practical explanations will be given about TTouch, a method that supports you to help your animal overcome physical or behavioral issues and help your animal to live the best life they can!
There is a link between posture and behaviour. Tension in the body can cause undesirable behaviour. By applying specific mindful movement of the skin, the TTouches, bodywork and guided movement exercises, the animal can regain balance. Both physically, mentally and emotionally.
TTouch can help for example with: anxiety, uncertainty, biting, scratching, pain, aging. But also to just relax and give a moment of wellness. The calm, attentive approach strengthens the bond between you and your cat.
It is a great tool to have for anyone who works with cats. Be it in a shelter, boarding house, veterinary clinic or grooming salon and of course as a cat guardian. Cats that are more in balance and grounded, have more confidence and trust in themselves and in us. They can cope better with situations that can be stressful for them.
The workshop consists of 2 Zoom sessions, divided over 2 evenings, with 2 weeks in between so that you can practically work with your cats and exchange experiences on the second evening. And, of course, learn new skills.
In addition to the 2 evenings, you will have access to a private Facebook group where you can find the recordings of the Zoomsessions and a digital handout for use during the workshop. And of course where you can ask questions or share videos and photos yourself, which I will give feedback on. The Facebook group will remain open for 2 weeks after the second evening of the course.
The first evening is focussed on theory and philosophy, observations and to make a start with a few basic TTouches. You will practice the TTouches on yourself and on your own cats.
The second evening will, besides several new TTouches, be about working with tools such as brushes and feathers, for example for working with cats that find it difficult to be touched by hand. We will also explore the use of bodywraps and different ways to work with them.
