‘Soul Healing with Our Animal Companions’
May 19 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Malaprops Bookstore

Tammy Billups will be presenting her new book, Soul Healing with Our Animal Companions: The Hidden Keys to a Deeper Animal-Human Connection at Malaprops Bookstore/Cafe on May 19, 2018 at 6PM with Brother Wolf Animal Rescue.

This book:

• Explains the unspoken connection between people and their animal companions and how they share the same energetic patterns and emotional wounds

• Outlines specific behavioral traits and physical issues that animals may exhibit as they mirror their caregiver’s emotional state of being

• Explores holistic modalities humans can employ, such as energy therapy, to promote healing in animals and ultimately themselves

Tammy is available for interviews and can contribute article.  We would also be happy to provide you with a unique excerpt for publication.  I have attached the press release to this email.  Please let me know if you would like a review copy.  We would be so appreciative if you could help spread the word about this event!

About the Author: Tammy Billups is a certified Interface Therapist, animal bioenergy healer, and pioneer in the animal-human emotional/energetic relationship. She has appeared on CNN’s The Daily Share, Primetime Live ABC, and Oprah. She lives in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. http://www.sundancehealing.com/

“Billups, founder of the Sundance Healing Center, presents practical advice on how to develop a deeper connection with pets in this cheerful book. Written in uncomplicated, inspiring language, Billups’s fun book will be appreciated by pet owners with a spiritual bent.” Publisher’s Weekly

“A powerfully insightful book. Soul Healing with Our Animal Companions teaches you how to connect with animals in ways you’d never thought were possible. An enlightening read.” JENNIFER SKIFF, author of God Stories and The Divinity of Dogs
