Ivy's story
Ivy was a very sensitive soul who was hypervigilant, highly anxious and unable to cope with visitors. Following several sessions of reiki, a custom blend of flower essences, and supporting her guardian to work with her on a daily basis, she is now living her best life
Honey’s story
Honey developed severe separation anxiety which meant that she howled loudly and constantly whenever left. Her caregivers were at their wits end and despite trying everything they could think of, and spending a small fortune on behaviouralist support, nothing changed. The stress began affecting everything including their health and relationship, and finally came to a peak when they were advised that their only option would be to have Honey put to sleep. At this point Honey’s caregiver was of course desperate and decided to explore reiki. Following just one session her progress has been incredible. Honey led the session which as always went completely at her pace. She relaxed and released a lot of trauma and energetic blocks, and today three weeks on…, I was met at the door by a completely different dog. Honey was confident, playful and relaxed, and her family have been able to take her off all her anxiety medications. She is now coping absolutely fine with being left and I could feel the incredible relief and joy of her guardian as she told me the progress that had been made. The power of this gentle therapy never fails to blow my mind.
Why i love what i do
Many have a perception of healing as the laying of hands on the body and when working with people it often does look like this, as the human has agreed and consented for this to happen. However with rescue, traumatised and fearful animals it looks very different. I work completely at the animals pace, initially purely holding space and accepting where they are at in that moment. That in itself if so powerfully healing. The animal leads the session completely and I just tune into them and 'listen' with all my senses to what they are telling and showing me. Being with them completely in the moment and facilitating the release of all blocks that no longer serve them. This happens on several levels, not only physical, but emotional and spiritual too.
