Welcome to Season 2 of Integrative Connections! Dr. Angie Stamm and Kaela McGuire talk with Rose Waldrop, a somatic practitioner specializing in working with dogs. Rose shares her journey into somatic therapy, starting from a personal battle with Lyme disease, which led her to discover the power of somatics in healing the nervous system. They discuss how somatic techniques can help calm both pets and their owners, the foundational principles of somatics, and how these methods can be applied in veterinary settings. Rose also delves into the concept of pets mirroring their owners' stress and the potential for somatic therapy to aid in this interconnected healing process. Additionally, the conversation touches on the potential for integrating these practices into regular veterinary protocols, providing both immediate and long-term benefits for animal and human well-being.
