Marta Williams Shows You How to Make Your Animal Happy

Animal communication - talking intuitively with animals - helps you find out what your animal needs and wants.

Marta 1Want happy animals? Address their concerns.

Get started by talking out loud to your animal just as you would to a person, and hold the belief that your animal understands everything.

Discuss any problems you are having in detail, tell your animal about any upcoming events, then track any positive changes, and remember to tell your animal that he/she is brilliant, they love to hear that as much as we do.

Many of you may already talk this way with your animals, so you know that the harder part in all this is hearing back.

I teach people how to do this in online classes, and I offer a Master Program for those who want to be professionals.

My techniques help people learn quickly and easily.

A beginning tip for hearing back is to first send a message to your animal, just say it out loud.

Marta 2Then ask your animal to send you a message.

Write down whatever impression comes to you: a thought, a feeling, or an image in your mind.

Do that every day. At first you will feel you are making things up, but over time you will see that is not the case.

Everyone can talk intuitively with animals if they have a desire and are willing to practice.

Marta’s services - In addition to training, I offer consultations to resolve behavior issues, find lost animals, improve relationships, assist during illness and end of life, and connect with your animal in spirit.

Mafrta 3To set up a consultation, contact me by email so we can determine how I can assist you.

Read Marta's books - You can get my books on online bookstores.

Learning Their Language - My first and most popular book, explains it all.

Beyond Words - Unique research I did about this field and wonderful stories.

Ask Your Animal - How to address issues you are having with your animal.

My Animal My Self - How animals teach us and heal us.

Go to Gestalt to find your truth beneath the surface

Gestalt deals with the truth-beneath-the-surface.

Gest 1Forgotten memories, lost dreams, mislaid convictions, suppressed fears - all these live in us, even when our conscious minds have put them aside.

We are each unrepeatable, and the reality of who we are can be blocked by our mind, which often seeks conformity or its opposite,

I believe that each one of us is created to be a singular delight, and that the Creator has also appointed each one to be the agent for a unique mission on Earth.

The reality of this mission can be hidden behind a mound of daily chores and obstacles and goals, like a lost passport hidden underneath a pile of junk mail.

Gest 2Gestalt does not ask the mind what it thinks - it asks the body what is real and allows intuition to respond to what is spoken by the body.

Our rational minds are necessary and beautiful as long as they are working in their particular role as servants of the truth rather than its arbiter.

In Gestalt, we converse with the body, which is the soul made manifest.

We interact with the dreams that we receive in sleep.

And we can ask for help from beings who live primarily in the realm of feeling and intuition - horses.

Gest 3Horses can plainly see where we hurt, both physically and emotionally and where we are lying to ourselves.

My horses, donkey, and mule have a great desire to positively help human beings feel and be better.

They love it when they can pour out their powerful and benevolent energy into the human beings who come to be with them.

I consider it a privilege, as a certified Equine Gestalt Coach, to facilitate this connection and to bring equids and humans together in a bond of mutual love and healing.

Natural Equine Essentials' products work to help horses with issues

The founder of Natural Equine Essentials, Isabel Sempe, was raised around horses all her life.

natural 1Her father was a Quarter Horse and Peruvian Horse breeder.

She grew up on a 2,000acre family-owned farm known for its breeding program and competitive level where the care of more than 60 stable horses was part of her everyday life.

Isabel had to work closely with veterinarians and farriers to make sure all the horses were ready for showing.

Equine Health and Nutrition have always played an important role in Isabel’s life.

natural 112“Horses are in my blood” is what she always says.

Growing up and later as an adult, Isabel competed in Western, Dressage, Show jumping and Eventing at National and international levels in over seven different countries including U.S.A., Chile, Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

She has lived in most of the countries she has competed which helped her accumulate a vast network of international veterinarians, trainers, and riders with whom she has learned and shared knowledge of equine and sport matters in general.

She showed in the Central American Games in Eventing in 2013 representing her country.

natual 12Being around horses, she noticed that it doesn't matter what breed or what discipline you do, some horses are spooky, bad tempered, nervous or anxious, and some have loss of appetite or any other behavioral issues.

That is their way to say they are uncomfortable or asking for help.

She wanted to be the voice and solution for all these issues and help a horse perform at its best either at a show or at home, so began her mission to develop her own natural products that work for both the horses and riders as an alternative to the traditional products on the market today.

After finding great success with her own show horses, she began to share and sell her products with her fellow equine enthusiasts who have also been witness to the incredible results of her products.

For Love of the Horse for exceptional results that require precision method and strategy

Herbal Solutions from For Love of the Horse are exceptionally effective.

Love H 1The reason is simple, the strategy clear:

-Create a cohesive action, bringing all the potency of the herbs to bear by choosing each herb to work with every other herb in the formula.

-Direct that cohesive action to the source of the problem.

-Insure the purity and potency of the herbs. All of the herbs are pharmacological grade herbs, tracked seed to shelf, and thoroughly tested in a biomedical lab.

Love H 2This is the strategy that Dr. Thomas, physician of Contemporary Chinese Medicine, used in his private practice.

When our filly foundered and we found our options so limited, I asked him to apply his skills to help her.

He did.

The results were truly amazing and a joy to see!

Love H 3As word of his work spread, more and more people started seeking his help.

He devoted himself to developing formulas for a full range of horse health issues.

From there, we created For Love of the Horse.

We now have an excellent team of women working with us.

When you contact us, you will reach a well trained customer service woman to help you choose what will work best for your horse or dog and your situation.

When you order, you can be assured your herbs will be precisely mixed, packaged and shipped promptly.

We are proud to present our work to you.

It’s never been easier to manage your horse’s hydration: you can watch your horse drink on command and you have the peace of mind that he’s staying hydrated.

grey mare 1In 2006 I completed my State Certification as an Emergency Medical Technician.

I’m a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and currently enrolled in the Equine Osteopathy program with the London College of Animal Osteopathy.

The education and experience gained as a Vet Tech and an EMT & Health Coach has proven invaluable in working with clients, their horses and companion animals.

grey mare 2I often work with clients, both two legged and four, who are recuperating from sports injuries.

Incorporating Magnawave into a massage session offers numerous benefits.

It helps reduce inflammation, oxygenates the tissue on a cellular level, improves lymphatic function and further assists the body in healing.

I’ve been a horse owner for over four decades and have been blessed to enjoy many different aspects of the equestrian world.

I currently own one dearly loved, off the track Thoroughbred.
