How Do I Know Which Healing Modality to Use?

How to Choose the Right Healing Modality for Animals (and Why Communication Comes First)

With so many healing techniques available today—for both animals and people—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when trying to decide what to use first.

A common question I get is:

“What’s the best way to choose the right healing modality for animals?”

It’s a fantastic question. The truth is, there’s a big difference between simply choosing the method you know or like best, versus selecting the one that your animal actually needs and wants to feel better.

Healing ModalitiesFrom traditional veterinary care like medications and surgery, to holistic modalities like acupuncture, massage, homeopathy, and supplements, to energy-based methods such as Reiki, BodyTalk, EFT, Ho’oponopono, and chakra healing—there’s a wide spectrum of options.

And here’s the thing: Animal communication itself can be incredibly healing when done properly.

Just talking with your animal, letting them express their pain, experiences, or emotional burdens, can lead to real shifts. Once they feel seen, heard, and acknowledged, their symptoms may ease on their own. If not, then you can begin exploring healing techniques with better clarity.

 

So, How Do You Choose the Right Modality?

The key is to start with communication. Talk with the animal first to get answers to questions like:

  • How are they feeling?
  • Where does it hurt?
  • When did it start?
  • Is it constant or intermittent?
  • What helps or worsens it?

 

Also, ask: Is this really their pain? Sometimes animals mirror their person’s stress or trauma (what I call the Human-Animal BodyMind Connection).

If you’re trying to heal the animal but the root of the issue is actually the human’s, you’ll be spinning your wheels—and wasting time and money.

This is why I always say: Start by listening. Then let the animal guide you.

Tell them what healing techniques you’re trained in or feel called to offer. Let them respond and give input. Do they seem interested? Do they intuitively lean into the idea?

If the energy feels open, aligned, and flowing in that direction, great! If it feels heavy, blocked, or like a “no,” trust that too.

 

A Real-Life Example

I once worked with a pair of dogs—an older one who was correcting the younger with scary, unpredictable aggression. The human didn’t understand why.

I spoke with both dogs and quickly realized they were confused about their roles in the family. Just tweaking their “job descriptions” helped tremendously.

But I also uncovered something deeper: the younger dog was in chronic physical pain and emotional distress, caused by early-life trauma and over-vaccination.

With his permission, I offered advanced energy healing to realign his spine, balance his chakras, ease pain, and strengthen his immune system. After just a few minutes, he relaxed noticeably, and the older dog’s aggression decreased too. They began to work together as a team.

Healing isn’t a one-time event, but that breakthrough changed everything.

 

Everything is Energy, And Energy Can Be Transformed

All true healing happens at the soul level. That’s why I developed the Heart Wisdom Love Connection and Sacred Healing Water Infusion techniques that I guide students through in every Live Q&A Coaching Call.

Want to try it for yourself?

Our Animal Talk Coaching & Mastery Club holds Live Q&A Calls the second Saturday of every month. Whether you’re just beginning or are already working professionally, you’ll find the tools, support, and guidance to grow quickly and confidently.

And if you’re ready to dive deeper, the Advanced Animal Talk Topics Course and the Healing Toolkit are packed with transformational techniques. Platinum Club Members get immediate access to our entire Masterclass Vault.

 

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right healing method isn’t about guessing. It’s about communicating.

When you let the animal lead, tune into your intuition, and apply the right techniques in the right order, you’ll see amazing results.

Your journey isn’t just about helping animals feel better—it’s about healing, evolving, and becoming your best self too.

Let’s walk that path together.

“Working with Val gets better faster results in 1 session than doing 18+ typical therapist sessions. If you want to stop being triggered by old wounds and traumas, Val is the BEST.”

High praise indeed. 😊
