This week on the Paws & Effect Podcast, we invite you to experience a conversation that goes deeper than science and challenges the boundaries of traditional veterinary care.

Our guest, Heidi Johnson, renowned Kinesiologist and Emmett Technique Practitioner and founder of Intune Animals and Humans, joins me for a heartfelt discussion about embracing intuition, connection, and non-traditional healing for our beloved pets.

In this moving episode, Heidi shares:

• Her remarkable journey into complementary animal therapies and what drew her beyond the conventional path
• The powerful, tangible changes witnessed in animals through the gentle, intuitive approach of the Emmett Technique
• How pet owners and veterinary professionals can foster deeper bonds, self-responsibility, and empathy through simple, hands-on care
• Honest reflections on scepticism, belief, and the courage to try the unfamiliar in pursuit of animal wellbeing

Prepare for a thought-provoking and emotive episode that transcends clinical boundaries, explores the healing power of connection, and gives voice to the stories behind the results.

If you care deeply about the animals in your life and are open to new perspectives, this is an episode to listen to with an open heart.

Tune in for a truly moving exchange where intuition meets impact, and healing comes in surprising forms.
