In September, 2006 my three year old dog Dakota experienced severe allergies. The veterinarian assumed that this was a seasonal disorder since she has these troubles yearly. However, this year was the worst reaction to date. Her face was completely swollen to look almost double the size of what it was normally. I was concerned about her throat closing up as well. I tried a variety of over-the-counter allergy medications such as Benadryl and Tavist. When these products did not help Dakota, the veterinarian put her on Prednisone. Although this provided a slight assistance, it was not until Kathy provided distant Quantum Touch that I was able to see a significant improvement in Dakota’s condition. From the time when the QT was performed, Dakota’s face continually reduced in swelling and was back to normal within a day of the initial treatment of QT. I strongly believe that it would have been a long road to recovery and relief for Dakota had she not had Quantum Touch. It is because of Quantum Touch that Dakota was back to her hyper self in no time!

Had it not been for a simple misstep, a slight miscalculation, I never would have known the healing ability of the human touch. But it was through this experience that I learned to believe… and have since shared this story with so many others.

After taking a fall down my stairs, I broke the outer bone of my left foot from the inside out. The doctors said it would take six to eight weeks before I could go without crutches. This meant hobbling up two flights of stairs to a second floor apartment, relying on others to drive me around, relying on others to help with household chores, and being a burden on those around me. But most importantly, it meant letting down my teammates on my bowling league.

Never one to take things sitting down (one foot in the grave or not), I made a call to Kathy a certified Quantum-Touch® practitioner. After discussing the injury, we set an appointment to try a distance session for the coming weekend. In my absent-mindedness, I slept through the appointment, and woke up in time for one of my teammates to drive me to the bowling alley.

Admittedly, I would normally find it difficult to suspend my disbelief that energy can travel and heal at a distance, but even as I write this almost six months later, I still remember the moment of realization. After three weeks of standing on a crutch and using a bowling ramp, I found myself standing at the top of the lane, on my own two feet. Carefully, I applied some pressure to my left foot… and took a step forward. And another. And then a third. The pain was nearly gone.

No one could believe the immediacy of this turnaround… including myself. I could not explain for the life of me what had just happened… until I noticed a voicemail on my cell phone. It was Kathy, telling me that even though we didn’t get a chance to connect, she had done some work on my foot. I had completely forgotten about our appointment until then. It was supposed to be at 4:30pm that afternoon; bowling began at 6:00pm. It still gives me goose bumps to this day.

Later that night, I walked up my stairs, cleaned my house, and made myself dinner, all without the aid of crutches. Within a week, I was driving my car again, which is a standard transmission, by the way. And you can bet that one of the first places I went was to embrace the healing hands of Kathy Armstrong.

The loss of our 7 year old Female German Shepherd, “Serena” was the most painful experience I have been through in my lifetime. Serena was given her name by my husband, because she was our little spot of serenity each day.

We arrived home after being in New York all day, around 10:00pm on May 5, 2007. It was instantly odd; we did not get our usual greeting from Serena. She would typically run to the car, cry like we’ve been gone for a year, talking to us as if to say “why did you leave me so long”. She’d do this to the first person out of the car, then the next…. every single day. When we’d get out of the car and she would then push into us, we always called this the Serena hug. This night was different. When we went in the house Serena gulped a bunch of water then when I put her food bowl down and she insisted on going outside. I figured ok... she always did like it outside. I read my emails, and then when it was time for bed, I called to her. She did not want to come in. I went outside and noticed she was crying, and pacing... she couldn’t get comfortable. My husband figured she had an upset stomach “Come to bed Laura, she will be fine”, he said. I went to bed, but… knew something just wasn’t right. I went onto the internet and did a search on those symptoms and came up with “bloat” and then “stomach twisting”. I had an instant gut feeling this is what we were dealing with. I told my husband she needed help, but he reminded me of the hour and again said she would be fine. I couldn’t go to sleep, I called Serena in, but she kept getting sick. I wondered if maybe she ate something like the moles she loved to dig up, but again my gut said something was wrong. I would pet her and talk to her but all she tried to do was hide somewhere.

At 4:00am I finally dozed off, leaving Serena outside where she was comfortable, but awoke again at 5:45am. I walked around the yard and couldn’t find her, so went inside to get dressed so I didn’t look hideous. When I went outside, Serena was near the back of our property lying down, ever watchful for me... as we were very close, she came forward but her breathing was odd. I told my husband we needed her to be seen and called our vet who directed me to an animal hospital. Little did I know they were open all night! We brought Serena in, and were told my gut was in fact right. She needed life saving surgery or… she would die. How can you say no when there could be one more day? Deep down though, I knew as she followed the vet into the back room, this was going to be the last time I saw my baby.

The vet called at 12:00pm to say surgery went well, and if all went well she’d come home a few days later. We finally felt there was hope, but had that quickly taken away by the next call at 3:00pm where we were told she was in cardiac distress. The next call was to say she did not make it.

They say don’t feel guilty, don’t think of the “uda’s” - woulda, shoulda, coulda, but it is very difficult not to. What if we had brought her the night before, what if we hadn’t been gone all day, what if…..? It was gut wrenchingly painful to realize our baby, our beautiful Serena was gone.

The one person who I wanted to call but could not was Kathy. To talk would take me to reality, something I was having a hard time with. I instead sent emails to my family and my close friends. Kathy and I have been friends for 31 years. She has never failed me and I have never understood exactly why, but when I’m hurting the most, she has always been there to offer advice and I have always trusted it. She told me not to feel guilt; that Serena needed me to let her go so she could do her work, and couldn’t do so if we were feeling guilty. She also shared that she felt nothing we did could have changed the end, which I also believed because that was my gut feeling too. I couldn’t shake the guilt - it was awful, the most painful experience in the world.

Then a couple of days later the mail came... in it was a package containing bottles of Anaflora Bereavement & Forgiveness Flower Essences along with a note from Kathy telling me how to use them. Without hesitation, I gave Sam, our very sad Labrador his “Bereavement” drops. I next told my husband to open up, “what’s this” he said… Something that will help us, I somehow knew, so in went the “Forgiveness Flower Essences”, then the same for me. All I can say is the next day when we woke up things were different in our household. I felt more at peace, I knew Serena was ok and when the thought of guilt would crop up, it would instantly dissipate because I knew somehow, although I cannot describe why I did, that she was ok. Even our Lab Sam, who only wanted to sleep and be by himself became more responsive and a part of our family again. To date, I have not had a day without tears, but it is far different since having taken those precious drops for all of us. I have accepted Serena’s passing, although her loss will always be felt. I now focus on all the beautiful days her spirit lifted me and how lucky I was to have all those years with her.

I’d trust Kathy with my life, I always have. I have always taken great comfort from checking in with her, and listening to her advice. Although I don’t always follow it, I respect that she knows far more than I, and she has never steered me wrong. She certainly knew what we all needed after Serena left us. Thank you Kathy!
