“Brownie is 10 years old, and is undergoing treatment to improve her auto immune system, she was very apathetic before having the sessions with Tricia. I remember that at the beginning of the session Brownie sat on Tricia’s feet signaling where she needed to be touched, little by little she lay down and slept during the session, moments later she got up wagging her tail and more willing. I could see her improvement with each session. Tricia is truly a healer”
“Tricia has been working with my OTTB Scout for 2 years. She instantly picked up on his sweet nature, and his tendency to try to over-please anyone who he works with. Scout is a retired athlete, for the first 5 years of his life he was a very successful racehorse, and because of that, his body is that of an out-to pasture athlete. He suffers from arthritis in his front knees, his spine, and his hocks. Scout has such an important job working to change the lives of special needs children, so he needs to be in top form all week long. The work Tricia has done with Scout, concentrating on his arthritis, had made a huge change for the better. He is able to release the stress and pain his joints can cause him, and the tension he carries emotionally doing such a tremendous job with the children. I can’t thank Tricia enough for what she does for my big man! Hilary”
“One of the biggest struggles any therapeutic center faces is burn out among the herd. The job the horses do here is both physically and mentally challenging, as the riders are not just physically unbalanced, but oftentimes mentally or emotionally unbalanced as well. Horses are a fabulous partner for this kind of work, and they are so sensitive to human emotions, and are a mirror to reflect our inner selves. Tricia Graf has been generously donating her time to The Comox Valley Therapeutic Riding Society to help balance and ground our horses, coming once a week on Saturday’s, during a quiet time, to work individually with the horses. The work Tricia does helps ensure that the horses are able to release that stress, and find calmness and serenity, ensuring they enjoy their jobs every week. We are so proud to have the majority of our herd returning for a third year, and that is in large part due to the treatments Tricia delivers. Comox Valley Therapeutic Riding Society”
“After having knee surgery, I was restricted by my movement and in pain going through the healing process. I contacted Tricia to see if Reiki would help, I was not convinced that it would help but at this time was willing to try. Tricia worked on my knee and called me a few hours later to follow up and see how I was a doing. Tricia was shocked to find out I felt so much better that I had mowed the law. Now she tells people after a treatment they feel better but to rest and “No Mowing Laws”.Deb
“Pearl is a lab cross and around the age of three, she began to limp after each walk. We took her to a naturopathic vet where she was given some chiropractic treatment, homeopathic pain relievers, and told to rest for two weeks. Finally, we had seen a traditional vet, who said it was an injured ACL. Pearl was not allowed to go outside except for going to the bathroom. She was only ever on the leash as we did not want her to re-injure. After six months, we began with short walks, always on the leash; she seemed to hit a plateau. I wanted to find something to bring her to the next level. After a Reiki session we went out for a short walk later, and I was amazed to find that Pearl was acting in a way I hadn’t seen for over a year. She couldn’t wait to kick up her heels and get going. Her energy was so increased and her mood so uplifted, that it was all I could do to keep her restrained. There is no doubt that the Reiki Tricia performed helped Pearl cross over that plateau she was stuck on, and her spirits were lifted and she regained some of that puppy-ness that she had lost due to her ACL injury. We are very grateful to Tricia Graf and her healing hands.”
