Singer, songwriter, public speaker and holistic veterinarian, Dr. Bassingthwaighte brings joy into any room he shares with all creatures great and small. It doesn't matter if he's placing his gentle, intuitive hands on a hurting dog or horse, singing songs he wrote to audiences or to me in vocal lessons, or just having a conversation of any kind. In this delightful chat, I got to ask him about his holistic, groundbreaking work in the healing arts and how he came to know what he does. He even takes me through an exercise in awareness that he designed - and you are invited to do it with us! Writing songs and singing have become very important to his own well-being, and we talk about that, too. Join us for the podcast interview, and we welcome your comments and reviews!
