Will Thomas - Dog Whisperer

The Whisperer


 

"Dogs are my passion, I can handle any dog". Over the last few years Will has worked with more than 1,400 dogs. Not in classes but one on one. Will moved to Florida (Manatee County) in March of 2008 after spending about 10 years in Las Vegas where he was known as the "Vegas Dog Whisperer".

In Las Vegas he made regular appearances on the TV show "Pets In Vegas" giving training advice. Locally he has appeared on several radio programs and on the TV shows, "All About Pets" and "Healthbeat Of America" and he has been a guest on Tampa Bay's Channel 10 News. The Bradenton Herald did a front page feature story about Will and his unique talent on 9-15-09. "My methods have evolved through my education, my research, my experience with hundreds of dogs and my unusual instinct. I approach each client's issues from the viewpoint of the dog or dogs involved.

This is why I can solve any problem. I can think like a dog. I don't use shock collars, clickers, treats or harsh treatment. I work to get dogs balanced. I teach the humans how to use mainly body language and energy to control their dogs. I teach them how to work at the instinctual level of the dogs. This is how I achieve such fast results. My goal is to restore the natural balance to your dog and harmony to your home."

Diane Gianlorenzo - Animal Communicator
Diane Gianlorenzo is an intuitive guide and psychic/medium for animals and people. Often called an animal communicator, She connects with animals' energy and telepathically to translate their thoughts and concerns to their human friends. Animals very often bring their people to Diane to to relay messages.She has always had the ability to know what both animals and people are thinking and feeling. Her many years in private practice as a massage therapist and energy healer enabled her to work within thousands of energy fields and develop her "beyond 5" senses.

Diane Gianlorenzo


After a spiritual awakening, her work took on deeper meaning and she expanded her practice to bring people messages from those who have passed, very often animal friends. She soon understood the 'calling' to her from those animals still in body to relay messages to their human families. Eventually she was led to leave her massage practice and concentrate fully on spiritual communication, and "animals are all spirit".

Diane resides in Ormond Beach, Florida with the love and light of her life, Poochie and Maxwell.

However, several years ago while watching the great Cesar Millan on the National Geographic channel, Stacy realized that the system of training that he had developed was very similar to what Cesar was doing but varied a bit “dog psychology” Stacy had never thought of dog training in those terms before. One of the similarities that Stacy and Cesar did share was their knowledge of training large packs of dogs. Stacy has over 30 years of dog training experience - he trained his first dog Opie at the mere age of 6.

Hanai (Kris Lee-Scott)

My name is Kris Lee-Scott, but my friends call me "Hanai", an affectionate Hawaiian nickname meaning 'adopted one'.??I was born in 1955 in Oakland CA as Kristina Mary Wolthuis, and attended local schools including Skyline High (with Tom Hanks). With my family I traveled extensively to Canada and Europe, living during the summers on the California Coast at Stinson Beach which later became the basis for many natural soundscores in my albums.

Although never formally trained, I started playing piano at age 4, two hands by 6, memorizing the vocal score of Handels Messiah by 12. At the same time, I began teaching myself multiple instruments, including 12-string and 6-string guitars, accordion, silver flute, pan flute and more. In high school I was a member of a rock band, playing and singing contemporary hits of the 70s. While attending college I wrote a spoken vocal score, and co-wrote several original rock pieces in addition to playing in the jazz band. In the 80s I was invited to be a part of the well-known local group MINDZEYE and the all-girl band AVATAR, playing live venues all over the California Bay Area, sharing the stage with Chris Isaac, Greg Kihn Band, and Ellen Degeneres. After moving to the Sierra Foothills in 1988, I founded a business calledKeyboard Kids to teach children the fun and basic skills of playing music in a rock band setting. I also began doing performances in Olde Coloma Theater, and Theatre El Dorado, even writing original melodrama to rave reviews. In 1990 I was an extra in Paramount Pictures Rescue Me with Michael Dudicoff. 1991 brought another move...this time to Salt Lake City, UT. After losing my treasured kitty Kea, I was inspired to compose 11 original instrumental 'soundscapes' which were released in Nov 1993. These beautiful songs were the beginning of "Hanai Music". Another transfer brought me to Madison, WI where I became a partner in "Wisconsin Therapy Center" as a Certified Clinical HypnoTherapist. This valuable training has created several Deep Process self-help programs from EZ Sleep to Healing Meditations. In addition I began setting up Hanai Music 'stores' at many locations, gathering over 10,000 enthusiastic and loyal fans in the Midwest. Today I'm based in Florida, attend many artisian markets, trade shows, and health expos with my music. As of 2009, I have sold over 75,000 CDs and cassettes all over the world, appeared on TV and radio shows, and been written up in many newspapers. I am so thrilled that so many people have been helped and encouraged by my songs...Feel free to pass it on to anyone you know that might appreciate it. Many Blessings, Hanai
