Zack and Diane at S.F.A Fundraiser.jpg

I found Diane after a long search for someone who could make my 15 ½ year old German Shephard/Lab Mix have a little more dignity and comfort in his time left with me.

Zack had been losing the use of his hind legs and lower back for about 3 years. I thought for the longest time that it was arthritis and I kept him on Rimadyl and Glycoflex. The Glycoflex helped but I felt that it just wasn’t enough.

Zack had therapies with a wonderful Vet in Farmville (1 ½ hours from my home). She examined Zack and told me it was nerve damage not arthritis. She suggested swim therapy, massage therapy and acupuncture. These treatments were awesome, but the vet was so far away.

Zack's mind was still sharp and he was so full of love. He never yelped or cried out in pain, just moved very slowly.


As I continued my search to find therapy closer to my home, I found Diane’s website and called her.

When Diane introduced herself to Zack it was puppy love at first sight. Although he was always skittish of strangers, he took right to Diane.

Diane worked on him for ½ hour the first time and I could see the light returning to his old aging eyes. It was incredible. He looked 3 years younger!!!

I took Zack home gave him lots of water and let him rest. That evening he was up and about, checking out things sniffing and exploring. The only other thing that made him feel this good was swim therapy that was 1 ½ hours away!!!

I kept Zack in swim therapy but we used Diane in between visits. The second time she came I could hear Zack cooing. He was so relaxed and in such a wonderful state while Diane worked on him.

After this session, I saw Zack considering going up a staircase. I wouldn’t let him, but he hadn’t even thought about stairs for 3-4 years. These sessions made him feel young again.

After several sessions, Diane told me that she noticed a cold spot in Zack’s spine. I asked the vet in Farmville and she examined him thoroughly and said that Zack had a few compressed vertebrae in that area that weren’t there before She determined that it was probably from the extra work his front legs were doing from hauling his back legs around. She gave him some pain shots.

By this time Zack began losing a lot of urine. I took him back to the vet December 23 of all days. She examined him and said that he was going into kidney failure and it was time to send him to heaven.

I just want to thank Diane for being Zack’s energy healer and best friend. Zack lived for 16 years and 2 months. And I thank Diane greatly for those last 3-4 months. Without her, Zack wouldn’t have made it those last few months and he wouldn’t have been comfortable at all. I wish that we would’ve known about Diane long before we did!!!!

Thanks,
