Merlin, a rescue dog who had suffered neglect, abandonment and life threatening gunshot wounds, was responding incredibly well to his Applied Zoopharmacognosy sessions. The sessions were providing him with the opportunity to self-select natural plant remedies, including essential oils, that...

Merlin, a five year old English Pointer was found in a terrible state. He had been shot in the face, neck and hindquarters with a shotgun, which had peppered him with lead shot. He had then been abandoned to fend for himself. He was filthy, emaciated and in a state of shock when he was rescued by...

I have a small confession to make…I talk to animals! They connect with me while I’m on a walk or when I’m washing up. They wake me up in the night if they need something. They join me during healing sessions and meditations, sitting on my feet, lying next to me, or huffing down...

Looking back, I recognise that I was always ahead of the times when it came to animal wellbeing. I was searching for holistic answers to animal health and healing as early as the late 1980’s, when I was still a teenager. At that time, in the UK, essential oils were just becoming popular for...

Animals are so good at picking up on emotions and they feel love very clearly. One thing I recommend trying with your animal is to sit quietly with them and show them the way you feel about them by connecting to your heart and sending them love.

Here’s the exercise for you to try:

Amy was 32 years old and recently retired when she became incredibly lame with arthritis affecting all four legs. She had been on a maintenance dose of an anti-inflammatory prescribed by her vet for several years and had been comfortable until this sudden worsening of symptoms occurred. Box rest...

At the start of each New Year I love to spend some time tuning in to what I feel the overarching “theme” will be. I meditate, journal, reflect and use oracle cards and crystals to deepen my understanding of what my main focus will be.

Last year was about “lightness of...

I thought it might be fun to start off the New Year with some insights into my early life as an animal communicator and healer. I have always been absolutely obsessed with animals and many of my early memories revolve around them.

1. The first animal I can remember! This was a German Shepherd Dog...

One of the things I love about Christmas are the special times spent with the animals in my life. I’ve been very fortunate and have so many wonderful memories to look back on.

As a teenager, my life revolved around horses and I couldn’t wait to visit my horse Amy on Christmas day...

I’m writing this for all of you who have lost a beloved animal recently. I know that many of you have and my heart goes out to you as you prepare to navigate your first Christmas without your loved one physically by your side. Know that I’m thinking of you at this time.

I understand...

When I started out on my healing journey, it was all for the love of a horse. Her name was Amy and she came into my life when I was 11 and she was 7 years old. As Amy aged, she did so very gracefully and very gradually. I don’t think she thought of herself as “ageing, senior or...

Each year I offer free group distance healing for animals who are scared of fireworks. This is something that has developed over the past 13 years, as I have become aware of a great need to help animals who are frightened of noises.

Each session is different and I allow the energies to flow and...
