I’m not a homeopathic vet (another lifetime maybe) and I would highly recommend working with one if your dog has a chronic health condition . They’re absolute gold.
But for little things that can be supported at home, this little kit from Helios is brill.
Darcy shows me what she needs and I honour that and simply stay present and watch for feedback.
It was so cute how she came to show me her leg, and then booped the remedy she preferred.
It’s blooming brilliant!

I wonder what books you read as a child or movies that you watched that became part of and influenced your life as an animal guardian or professional?

I’m going to list some of mine which is a taking me down memory lane

Watership Down
E.T. (Love the inter species telepathic connection)
The wind in the willows
Willow the wisp
Chocki (a bit scary but loved the supernatural element)
Karate Kid (no animals but love the devotion to a practice and presence)
Dogtanian 😆
Pippi Longstocking

Share with me yours. Love a trip down memory lane or visiting new ones

This is a VERY cool and exciting FREE opportunity for you and your dog......

I'm looking for a small number of dogs to take part as case studies with my mentorship students, who are training in canine zoopharmacognosy (self-selection with plant medicine).

Your dog would receive 1–2 free sessions, working with a fully supervised student under my guidance.
It is all done remotely over Zoom, so wherever you are in the UK you can take part.
The only cost is the fee to cover the cost of the botanical samples posted out to you before the session.

This is a brilliant opportunity to witness your dog engage with the process of choosing their own essential oils, herbs and hydrosols. And to get hands on with the offering experience.
It's gentle, entirely led by your dog, and every session is supervised by me and my mentee from start to finish.

If you're curious AND committed and want to give your dog the chance to self-medicate, drop me a message or comment below and I'll send over the details.

Thank-you.
Rachel

Another FABULOUS Zoopharmacognosy practitioner out in world. Thank-you Helen, it's been an honour, a blast and I KNOW you're going to make big fat juicy ripples with all of the dogs and clients that come your way. Helping them listen, witness, be guided, dive into the healing properties of the botanicals, the relationship between dog and human, the reflections, the energy work, the endless possibilities that this 'work' can create.

I have just 1 space left this year to join the 1-2-1 Canine Botanicals Practitioner programme.

DM me if you'd like to book a discovery call.

Jasper’s mums booked this session because they were worried about his deteriorating eyesight.
Jasper led the session and showed me who he is at the core.
He led me to the car and somewhere in that conversation, completely unprompted, he said this about the tyre pressure!
I had no prior information about this family, his name and a photo of him.
This is what I want people to understand about animal communication.
It isn’t something that only happens in a session. These conversations are happening all the time, at a deeper level, beneath the surface of everyday life.
Your pets are sensing everything. Sooooo much more than we’ve ever given them credit for.
They are our partners on this adventure called life. Through all the ebbs and flows. And they have access to intelligence, wisdom and information that we don’t always perceive.
And when that comes through, when you get that penny-drop moment and realise your animal has known all along, something shifts on a cellular level.
For Jasper’s mums it meant understanding him so much more deeply. Feeling closer to him. Feeling excited about their relationship in a completely new way.
A real sense of togetherness and a deeper love for the being they thought they already knew completely.
That’s the space I create for you as an intuitive animal communicator.

Jasper’s mums booked an animal communication session because they were worried about his deteriorating eyesight.
Jasper had his own agenda! Within minutes he was showing me tractor chasing, Guns N’ Roses energy and the very strong opinion that his name should actually be something like ‘Bo’, short and punchy.
He gave me a quick tour of his body, a sensitivity in his jaw, something around his joints, a mistiness around his eyes, a tightness in his hip. His mum confirmed each of these piece.
Then we got talking about the car and then popped in the words “check the tyre pressure mum”. That threw me. What on earth? So when his mum shared she’d had a flat the day before, we realised how much Jasper is aware and capable of! Skills!!
He also showed me himself wearing glasses (his mum always jokes about this) and made it very clear he cannot be fooled by medication hidden in food. Not even in the nicest thing in the world. He will find it. 😄
His lovely mums came worried about him, yet Jasper never once showed me worry about his eyes.
What he showed me was a dog completely at home in himself. Whose world might be getting mistier but whose sense of who he is hasn’t dimmed at all.
They came concerned about him and he came to remind them exactly how extraordinary he is and how amazing their family and connection is.
This is what animal communication does. It reminds you who your animal actually is, when you finally create the space to hear them.
Send me a DM if you’d love that for your dog.
