animals in a way which
assists your
animals to reduce their stress,
which deepens our connection with our animal
friends,
while honoring and respecting these animals
for who they truly are,
TAT for Animals I
may be what you're looking for.

TAT for Animals I
is an enriching experience for us all.
Participants are delighting in their expanded
TAT experience with animals and often with
themselves, too. The warm and enthusiastic group
atmosphere enhances our learning and growth, as
demonstrated in this collaborative
story from the 2010 class (bottom of this

"TAT for Animals I,
facilitated so gracefully by Jeanine, was a
safe, surprising and delightful place of
self-discovery and healing--both with and
through our family animals."
Pam Lester, TAT
Professional ~ June 15, 2011
"This class has
definitely enriched my animal communications
practice, as well as my personal
relationship with my own animals. Thank you
so much for your care and concern for us and
the animals."
Michele Bustamante ~ June 16, 2011
"...If
you're new to TAT with animals, you're in for
a new dimension of TAT."
"Jeanine DuBois is not only a gifted and
highly experienced facilitator of TAT with
both humans and animals, she is also a gifted
and highly experienced teacher/trainer. She
knows TAT from the inside out, has deep
respect for all beings, and loves to teach and
to share her passion for facilitating health
on all levels. I definitely recommend her
class, "TAT for Animals" to anyone who wants
to work with animals, anyone who loves an
animal, and anyone who wants to deepen their
understanding of TAT."
Laurie Hoff Schaad, TAT
Trainer ~ January 18, 2011
"I was surprised how many
considerations there were for doing TAT with
animals, like first doing TAT on my concerns
about my cat. Jeanine gently guided us
through all these considerations and shared
a step-by-step process for doing TAT with
animals, always allowing plenty of time to
address our questions. Hearing others'
experiences with their pets each week was
truly inspiring. I used TAT alongside
veterinary care to help myself and my cat
through a serious health issue, and took
action after he told me he wanted a more
varied diet!"

Here's a
story from our 2010 pilot class...
“Surprised
and Delighted with Kisses and Inspiration”
I took the
workshop TAT for Animals I: Family Pets given by
Jeanine DuBois, certified TAT Trainer and
Professional. I have 5 birds that “own” me. They
have all been adopted and have come to us with
different challenges. Although I had done TAT with
them on several occasions, I was hoping to learn
more about working with them through Jeanine’s
class. What happened went beyond what I expected
to learn in class. Through Jeanine’s wisdom and
experience with working with animals, along with
that of the other workshop participants, not only
did I learn more, but also I gained a wisdom and a
sense of presence, that I didn’t have before.
The experiences I had working with my birds during
the time between classes were remarkable. In the
class, Jeanine talked about asking our pet’s
permission before working on them. It had never
occurred to me before to do this, and when I did
ask permission from my birds, they did “answer”
me. All I had to do was to observe and to listen.
One bird would turn away from me, a very clear
“no”. Another “told” me that he didn’t want to do
TAT with me, however, when I explained to him how
TAT could help him, he then gave me permission to
work with him. Another was always happy to do TAT
with me, and always gave me a clear “yes” each
time that I had asked. It is this bird, Ellie, a
Senegal parrot, that I did most of the TAT
sessions with.
One of the subjects
covered in the workshop, was observing shifts and
knowing when our pet was done with a step. As we
all know, a shift can be anywhere between very
subtle to very dramatic and profound. I found when
working with my own pets, as well as animal
clients, that they will definitely let you know
when they are finished with a step. My birds would
gently pull away from me, a clear indication that
they were done with that step. I had an experience
working with Ellie that definitely let me know
that she was aware of what was going on. I was on
step 5, and I phrased it I apologize to everyone that I hurt
related to this, including “my mommy”, and wish
them love, happiness and peace.
After I said this, Ellie shifted and started to
kiss the fingers that I held in the pose for her.
I couldn’t have asked for a clearer sign that she
understood what was going on, appreciated what we
were doing and was communicating what she felt.
I thank Jeanine for
offering this wonderful class and look forward to
taking her next class, TAT for Animals II: Beyond
My Family’s Pets, which will be offered to TAT
Professionals.
Warm
blessings,
Shoshana Michel
TAT® Professional
What
a
delight
to
bask
in
Shoshana’s
and
all
the
participants’
sharing
of
their
experiences,
insights,
and
questions.
Each
class
member
brought
such
richness
to
our
gatherings.
One
special
moment came right after Shoshana shared with us
these beautiful experiences regarding asking her
birds’ permission. At that moment, TAT Trainer Laurie Schaad spoke in a quiet
voice, revealing her insight as it came to her:
“It just occurs to me, what if when I think I
should do a TAT on myself, what if I ask my
permission and listen to hear what the answer is?
instead of just thinking, ‘This is what I should
do, and I should do it now.’ There are times when
doing TAT on myself does not feel effective, and
what I’m getting right now is, I think there are
times that I’m imposing that on myself as opposed
to going on right timing when all of me is in
agreement.”
I
remember feeling chills and awe as Laurie spoke,
and the overwhelming response from the group was
“Wowwww... thank you!”
TAT for Animals I:
Family Pets opened our awareness into how to apply
our presence and experience to TAT with animals
while it surprised and delighted us with added
insights for our personal TAT life.
In an email after our
first class meeting, Shoshana reflected, “working
with animals is really not a whole lot different
than working with people. You need to ask their
permission, listen to them, respect their wishes,
respect where they are coming from, accept them
for who they are and not put your expectations
onto them.”
My deepest thanks to
Shoshana, Laurie, and all the bright souls who
enriched our experience in piloting this class.
Blessings,
