Ivy's story

This beautiful girl is doing so well following a combination of reiki, trust technique and flower essence therapy. It is so lovely to see her true character shining through now and her confidence growing in leaps and bounds.
A naturally very sensitive soul, she was struggling to cope with any people coming into her home, including one of the family’s adult children returning from university. From a place of fear and overload, her nervous system became overwhelmed with cortisol and she went into flight or fight and lunged and nipped everytime anyone that wasn't her carer walked anywhere near her. She never settled and was on constant high alert. By the time her guardian contacted me, her world had become smaller and smaller and she was feeling overwhelmed and desperate after it had been suggested by a veterinarian that perhaps euthanasia was the answer.

When I first met Ivy she was in a hypervigilant, highly anxious state hiding under the kitchen table and watching me carefully. I worked with Ivy from a good distance… respecting her safety threshold and letting her lead the healing session. She quickly began relaxing and releasing tension and trauma, and following a couple of healing sessions, supported with flower essences and a trust technique consultation to support her guardian to work with her on a daily basis using the technique; life at home has rapidly became much more peaceful for both Ivy and her human mum. It was such an honour as always to meet and work with this beautiful soul and her family.
