Before I tell you a little about my background I'd like you to watch this short video of one of the Michael Vick dogs who got some TTouch sessions. These pictures are worth a thousand words. Go to
After graduating from the TTouch Practitioner Program in 1998 I began combining my TTouch background with other methods of compassionate training. I have now developed my own unique style of working with animals that allows me to give animals a gentle yet consistent message. My program creates confidence and offers clarity of communication in an environment that encourages the greatest potential to surface for you and your animal(s). My desire to learn an effective yet gentle way to work with animals has helped me create my own eclectic style blending my training skills, intuition and a lifelong love and respect for animals.
This program has helped my private clients and is the basis for the many workshops that I have conducted over the past 10 years.
Training and background:
- Graduated from a two-year training program (300 hours +) for the TTouch Method in 1999 as a Tellington TTouch Practitioner.
- Currently in training to be an Equine (TTEAM) Practitioner
- Attended training class with: Patricia McConnell, Sue Sternburg, Trish King, Suzanne Clothier and others.
- Animal Communication workshop with Carol Gurney
- Licensed Delta Society Pet Partner's Evaluator since 1998
- Assisted at many TTouch Trainings with Linda Tellington Jones, Robin Hood, Edie Jane Eaton, Debbie Potts and Kathy Cascade.

The TTouch Method is currently being used by dog & cat owners, trainers, breeders and veterinarians, as well as in animal shelters around the world. It offers a positive, no-force approach to training, BUT it is much more than just a training method. Using a combination of specific TTouches, Leading Exercises and the Confidence Course (exercises over obstacles), a dog’s performance and health is improved, common behavior issues are solved and physical problems are positively influenced.

How I became involved with TTouch...

My cat, Valentino was the animal that brought me to TTouch. He was a beautiful, sweet boy who ended up passing away about 2 years after I became a TTouch Practitioner. He was having some problems and was diagnosed as having an enlarged heart. What we didn’t know was that he had a tumor in his heart sac. I truly believe that TTouch helped me to extended his life at least a year. He passed away at 16 years old.
This web site is dedicated to Valentino with the hope that more people will find and use holistic treatments and training methods with their animal companions. The purpose of this web page is to build a network of people who can help you and your animal live a full, happy, healthy life using all different types of treatment and communication.that lead me to TTouch.

ANIMALS AS TEACHERS
This is a picture of my beloved dog Mandy; she was a faithful companion for many years when I was a child. She blessed the world with many puppies, as did many dogs of her era, most people in the 60's did not have their animals spayed or neutered. I loved this dog and was very upset when she disappeared one day from our country home; I will never forget her. She was my greatest teacher, she taught me patience, kindness, forgiveness and a lot about loving unconditionally. She will always live on in my heart.
Christina Natichioni, TTouch Practitioner II Since 1999
PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR PETS
