Author Biography
Susan Mack trained as a professional chef, and owned and operated Wine and Roses, a restaurant in Edmonton, Canada. Following a serious illness, she tried Reiki and became so impressed with its ability to heal that she became a Reiki student (Usui Shiki Ryoho). Immediately, the cats and dogs of family and friends started putting themselves under her hands to receive the healing energy. So at their recommendation, she started Reiki for PetsTM, an outcall practice exclusively serving pets and their people since 1994. Susan has written a column on pets for the Reiki Practitioners Association Newsletter since that column s inception in 1995 until 2006. Her work has been featured on local and national television, radio, newspapers and magazines. For example, she made the front-page feature of the Living Section of the Edmonton Journal (1997). She was the first pet-oriented practitioner to be the subject of a detailed interview in Reiki Magazine International (1999). After receiving her doctorate from The City University of New York (environmental psychology, 1978), Natalia Krawetz worked with the private and public sectors on projects related to the social aspects of environmental issues. In 1990 she became owned by a cat who challenged Natalia by contracting unusual maladies that required alternative therapies and behavioral intervention. In response, Natalia enhanced her educational qualifications with a variety of certificates in complementary and alternative modalities: Reiki, Therapeutic Touch and Flower Essence Therapy, as well as in feline behavior. On the advice of her cat, Natalia changed careers in the mid- 90s, establishing a wellness support service for people and cats. She taught in the Holistic Health Practitioner Program at MacEwan College, and offered cat courses for the public at Metro College, and for veterinarians and animal health technologists at The Northern Alberta Institute of Technology and Fairview College.
