The Heart Behind Pawsitive Coaching
What is Animal Kinesiology & Reiki?
At Pawsitive Coaching, we believe in supporting your pet as a whole being – physically, emotionally, and energetically. That’s why we offer two gentle, holistic therapies: Animal Kinesiology and Animal Reiki. Both are non-invasive, calming approaches that work beautifully alongside behaviour training to help your pet thrive.
Animal Kinesiology uses gentle muscle testing to assess your pet’s energy flow and identify areas of imbalance. These imbalances may be linked to emotional stress, behavioural issues, or physical discomfort. Once identified, we use techniques like acupressure, energy balancing, and other natural methods to support your pet’s healing and wellbeing.
Hi, I’m Bec Travica – the proud founder of Pawsitive Coaching, lifelong animal lover, and passionate advocate for kind, connected pet care and behavioural training.
My journey with animals began early. Before I’d even finished high school, I was volunteering in veterinary clinics, already certain that working with animals was more than a passion – it was part of who I am.
That early drive led me to a rewarding career in Veterinary Nursing, where I completed my Advanced Certificate in Veterinary Nursing in 1999 and spent many years caring for animals and supporting their health and wellbeing in clinic settings. It was during this time that something truly clicked: I discovered a deep fascination with animal behaviour and training, especially when I began running puppy classes.
That spark turned into a business, and in 2004 I launched ABC Dog Training in Melbourne. For over a decade, I had the joy of offering group training classes, private behaviour consultations, and even doggy day care – helping hundreds of dogs and their humans build more harmonious relationships through connection, communication, and understanding.
Fast forward to today – after relocating to the stunning Gold Coast, Queensland, I’ve followed my heart once again to create something new: Pawsitive Coaching. This time, I’ve combined my extensive background in animal care and training with further qualifications in Animal Kinesiology and as a Reiki Practitioner for Pets & Animals.
At Pawsitive Coaching, I take a holistic approach that supports your pet’s emotional, behavioural, and energetic wellbeing. Every session is designed with compassion, clarity, and connection – because I believe true progress happens when we nurture the whole animal, not just the behaviour.
I’m truly dedicated to helping nurture calm, connected relationships between pets and their people – built on trust, empathy, and understanding.
Thank you for being here and sharing in this exciting new chapter. I can’t wait to work with you and your beloved pets.
How Animal Kinesiology Can Help:
✨ Balance Energy Flow: Identify and correct energetic disruptions that may be affecting your pet’s health and behaviour.
✨ Support Behavioural Change: Address the emotional and energetic roots of issues like anxiety, fear, or over-excitement.
✨ Enhance Physical Comfort: Improve movement, reduce discomfort from stiffness or joint pain, and aid recovery after surgery.
✨ Relieve Stress & Trauma: Release emotional tension and help your pet feel more relaxed, grounded, and settled.
Animal Reiki is a gentle, hands-on (or hands-off) healing technique that channels universal life energy to promote relaxation, healing, and emotional balance. It works by clearing energetic blockages and restoring harmony to your pet’s natural energy system.
How Animal Reiki Can Help:
✨ Ease Anxiety: Calm your pet’s nervous system during stressful events like storms, vet visits, or changes in routine.
✨ Support Emotional Wellbeing: Help your pet process past trauma, grief, or stress, leading to a more balanced mood.
✨ Promote Physical Healing: Assist recovery from injuries, surgery, or illness by supporting the body’s natural healing process.
