A twenty year journey into healing touch.
Whole Energy Body Balance was discovered and refined by holistic veterinarian Dr Edward Bassingthwaighte, BVSc(HonsII), through decades of hands-on work with thousands of animals.
From a curious question to a whole healing system.
The WEBB Method didn't arrive fully formed. It grew, animal by animal, from a single question and a willingness to keep feeling deeper, for twenty years.
How the WEBB Method came to be.
-
A question that started it all
Two years out of veterinary school, Dr Edward learned from Dr Tom Ahern, an equine vet treating horses with bad necks, how subtle vertebral misalignments compress nerve roots and cause pain throughout the body. He wondered: if this works for horses, could it work for dogs?
-
Feeling deeper into the body
At the time, no one in the small animal world specialised in bodywork. "Every dog and cat I saw from that point on became the subject of my explorations, as I felt deeper into their bodies, searching for signs of pain and impingement."
-
A twenty year journey
What followed was a twenty year journey of learning how to unlock pain, tension, anxiety and trauma from the physical body with healing touch and neuro-fascial bodywork, developed hands-on with thousands of animals.
-
Healing the healer
When Dr Edward contracted Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, his own healing journey led him deep into energy work. He wove those high-vibration energy healing skills into the method, completing the Whole Energy Body Balance system as it is taught today.

Dr Edward has spent his career searching for the silent pain animals can't tell us about, and finding gentle, powerful ways to release it. Through his own recovery from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, he came to understand healing from the inside out, and that understanding lives in every part of the WEBB Method.
Today he teaches WEBB to pet owners, horse people and professional practitioners around the world.
