Kris Lecakes-Haley, is a highly trained, Bach Flower Practitioner who works exclusively with animals and is internationally certified by, and registered with, The Bach Foundation in England. She is also a Reiki Master Teacher and Animal Wellness Consultant with more than 20 years of experience in holistic alternatives for animals. Referring to herself as an Animal Synergist, she works holistically with animals, to assist them in returning to a place of emotional balance.
Kris is certified in canine and feline massage and has studied TTouch with Linda Tellington-Jones and Animal Communication with Penelope Smith and Beatrice Lydecker. She holds the title of Nutritional Consultant I in canine nutrition and trained and worked as a Veterinary Technician in both companion and emergency environments. She has worked or volunteered in virtually every aspect of the animal world including rescue, wildlife rehab, animal welfare and animal rights. Currently, in addition to her Bach Flower work with animals, Kris is also working as a project consultant with a local animal welfare coalition.
In addition to private consultations, Kris has also conceptualized, developed and conducted a variety of lectures, workshops and programs on different aspects of our relationships with animals, most frequently requested among them, The Bach Flower Essences for Animals and how they work to restore balance for ourselves and our animal companions. (Click here for lecture and workshop info). Kris has a recurring "Dear Tabby" column in Vibration eZine and is also a frequent contributor of animal-themed articles to local media such as The Pet Paper and The Arizona Networking News.
Kris received her diploma from the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts and is currently enrolled in a Natural Animal Care and Naturopathy degree program at the Australian College of Natural Animal Medicine. She is also a Master Gardener and in addition to her animal submissions, has authored articles on the Bach Flower Essences and their efficacy on plants…“Nature healing nature,” as she calls it. All of her studies have synergized with, and consistently reinforced, her passion for working with the Bach Flower Essences and the animals she meets each day, who bring her such great joy.
As part of her Shelter Outreach Program, Kris volunteers her services to animal shelters, locally and nationally, assisting in the restoration of balance for hard-to-adopt animals in an effort to increase their adoptability and decrease their chances of becoming a euthanasia statistic. She was also a founding volunteer for The Companion Animals of Arizona Pet Grief Support Service Hotline, where she remained for six years. She is in the process of completing a book about that experience designed to help families move forward through the grief process after losing a treasured animal companion.
Kris and her husband Craig share their Arizona home with rescued dogs, Caty, Chames (named after music legend James Taylor) and Chypsy and (California) Angel, a rescue cockatoo who barks like a dog…and the alpha dog at that! They have named their home CASA PERRO, Spanish, for Dog House.
Kris has clients all over the country and has developed a consistently effective method of conducting both local and long distance consultations with equally successful results. She will guide you through a comprehensive personal evaluation and profile of your companion animal. She will form a partnership with you intended to create an environment of optimal balance for your pet designed to achieve the results you desire and your treasured animal companion deserves. “My mission” says Kris, “and my greatest passion, is the honor and privilege of being of service to animals.” (Click here for more information about the many Services Kris offers, and here for her calendar of events.)
