CRANIOSACRAL TESTIMONIALS

JEDI, THE GERMAN SHEPHERD
"Jedi, a German Shepherd dog, slipped through an open stairway which resulted in a back injury. After months of chiropractic and aqua therapy, both of which helped, it was suggested that I might consider CranioSacral therapy. Jedi had been wobbly and unbalanced when going up and down stairs. After a few CranioSacral sessions, he was walking visibly straighter when negotiating the stairway and continues to maintain most of that that balance today. Jedi also really enjoys his sessions with Kim. So much so that he falls asleep at Kim's caring and professional touch."

SPENCER, THE ENGLISH SPRINGER SPANIEL
"Hi Kim! I just wanted to tell you that for whatever reason - you would know better than I would what it is – Spencer has been great since our last visit. He has not limped or favored his right or left leg at all. He is still going downstairs hopping on both hind legs together.  I can still feel the clicking between his hip bones going up the stairs, but as long as he is doing well, I am not going to worry about it. I do not understand exactly what you do, but I know you believe in it, and I have to say that (knock on wood) Spencer is so much better from our visits to you, and like a new dog since I met you at Jess’ and started with you and the Chiropractor. I hope for him that this continues, and I know that he didn’t seem to be as needing of help from both of you as most of your other patients, but I am very happy that I took your time with him – maybe(hopefully) the rest of his life will be easier for it. It certainly seems to be right now!  Thanks Kim!.  I think preventative medicine(although you both did help with the problems he was having) is the best medicine; and I will never hesitate to get right on something in the future if I can, so it doesn’t get any bigger than it has to. Between you, me and Spencer, the biggest changes were evident when you started the cranial sacral work on him – like him using both back legs the very next morning going down the stairs – and he has ever since!  You are good, Kim!  Both Spencer and I appreciate you!  Oh, and Spencer and Zac  send you kisses. –Sue Shaw

MARLEY, THE PUG
9-19-06
Our nine year old pug was diagnosed with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Erlichia.  Unfortunately he was in a chronic state of illness with both of these diseases due to constant misdiagnosis over a one and a half year period.  Once our new primary care veterinarian recognized his symptoms, tested for a full tick panel, and put our pug on antibiotics we began to search for alternative methods to aide his transition from chronic disease to a full and healthy recovery. 
It was suggested to us that energy work can help an animal recover faster, easier and return to a state of balance with greater success than if left just on modern drug therapy.  After considering many alternatives and trying several we found Kim Jonah, who performed Craniosacral work on our pug.
Kim explained that through this gentle, sensitive hands-on bodywork, which has roots in osteopathy, the cranial skull bones are jointed, and not truly fused, so they permit slight motion independent of breathing and heart rate.
This motion is present in all tissues of the body and when the body tissues are subjected to stress or trauma physical or emotional, this motion can be disrupted resulting in imbalance or disease.  In our dog’s case, he had been thrown off balance due to his chronic diseases and needed help rebalancing.
The cranial wave or rhythm, Kim explained, can be described as ever so minute, less than half the thickness of dental paper, some say.  It cannot be seen but it can be palpated in a meditative state. To palpate this discreet rhythm, Kim combined light finger pressure with use of her inner eye and inner ear. The work draws from two disciplines; osteopathy and energy work.. Once she determined where the restrictions were located, Kim palpated tide-like motions and assisted our dog’s body in releasing his stored injury and trauma that had been built up due to his chronic illnesses.
The Craniosacral therapy that Kim performed helped restore the vital motion and balance of our pug’s personal cranial rhythm.  We noticed that during therapy our dog seemed to enjoy and react to Kim’s finger pressure, he changed his breathing to a more relaxed state, became calm and functionally accepting of her work.  Immediately following therapy we saw a significant imbalance in his gait and Kim was kind enough to explain that this was his way of realigning his body.  After twenty-four hours our pug showed increased energy levels, a steady balance in his gait was straighter and stronger than it had been before.  With each session the results became more notable until we actually saw his front paws go from a forty five degree angle outward, to straight paws facing fully in front of him.  The results were quite unbelievable.  We still continue to see Kim, and she still continues to perform Craniosacral Therapy on our pug, who is doing much better now and still in a healing process, and will be for quite some time.  Our long-term plan is to continue this therapy and watch him make a full recovery.
The body has an amazing capacity to heal itself. When an animal is in balance emotionally and physically, they can and will become healthy.  Kim has been professional, helpful, caring, concerned, and a wonderful support for us during this most trying time.  I would encourage anyone who wishes to bring their pet into a fine energy balance for optimal health to visit her, meet with her, and learn about this therapy.  It proves to have only a positive outcome because the therapy itself that Kim offers comes from her personal positive energy.

READ BOUT LOLA, THE COONHOUND
"In July of 2002, Yola, my 7 year old coonhound twisted her foreleg while wrestling with my 2 year old retriever. I thought if I kept her quiet for a few days, she’d mend. After a few weeks, I took her to the vet and she was put on anti-inflamatories and “bed rest”. By September she was still limping, but I did not have funds for x-rays, etc. I tried keeping her quiet, but in a household with multiple animals and lots of visiting pals, it had become nearly impossible to keep her form continually re-injuring her leg.

A friend of mine, Kim Jonah, suggested she use Consegrity on Yola. I readily accepted, since Kim had facilitated in healing a chronic problem of mine a year earlier. In her initial session with Yola, Kim learned that the cartilage in her shoulder had been damaged, which would not have shown up in x-rays. She was made aware that was treatable and she began a weekly regime with Yola. Some weeks Yola made it know that she was processing and didn’t need a treatment. I continued to let Yola romp with her pals and go for walks and runs with us, unless Kim told me not to. Some weeks Yola needed rest. After a month, I noticed that she rarely limped, and within 2 more weeks, she stopped limping altogether. She is very active again and I have no doubts that it was through Consegrity that she was able to heal her injury."
