Sandy Prantl, an occupational and craniosacral therapist takes us on her journey of healing from childhood abuse that led to the development of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). An ordinary trip to the library set events in motion that changed the course of her life. Sandy heard about a wolf named Orca who had sustained a spinal cord injury that had left him partially paralyzed. Orca was a captive born, socialized wolf living at Wolf Park in Indiana. Orca found Sandy while seeking help for his own recovery. She heard his call for help and began performing craniosacral therapy and myofascial release on him. As Orca gained strength, so did Sandy. Orca’s story has been told around the world, and has inspired thousands of people to persist in the expression of their Divine purpose regardless of the challenges life has presented them. Sandy also worked with other wolves in the facility where Orca was a resident. Her work was expanded to include the resident foxes and coyotes there as well. Sandy has taught her healing methods and offered her services in other facilities that have socialized wolves. This memoir chronicles Orca and Sandy’s relationship and how they brought healing to each other. This process led to work with other animals and eventually to an understanding of PTSD recovery and interspecies healing. In addition to Orca’s story, the memoirs include wolf case summaries, a rudimentary discussion of PTSD and recovery; and the dogs in Sandy’s life who have served as teachers and companions.
