"You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems, and suffer and understand, for all that is life."
J. Krishnamurti

As a small child in Egypt I remember my first animal friend being a black and white cat.  He was a visiting cat from the farm and a happy independent soul.  Then in contrast, there were the donkeys I saw from time to time on the way to and in the centre of Cairo, heavily laden, often lame and tottering under massive burdens.  The buffalo who worked the water wheel and various stray and semi-wild dogs all shocked and saddened me too as their pain and open wounds went unattended.  My mother shared my sentiments and was a staunch supporter of Brooke Hospital for Animals.  Now 10% of all my animal readings go to this cause.  See links page.

What I have learnt over the years about animals from real horsemen, healers, and animal communicators has made me realise that there is a manner in which we may serve the animals which goes some way to making up for our own and humanity (not the most suitable word in this context) in general¹s past misunderstandings and abuse through ignorance and occasionally arrogance and the belief that certain animals are in some way an unfeeling commodity.  What the horse has to teach us about ourselves is now a passion with me and everyday I unwrap more of this truth.  It is with bewilderment and sadness that I see this truly wonderful creature often bullied and misrepresented.

Horses teach us about ourselves and our journey, about how we deal with adversity and welcome triumphs.  If you'd like to tap into this world of inner knowledge with horses then click the Horsemanship page link.  If you don't have your own horse but would like to see this in action then contact me to discuss how we can make this work for your needs. 

Since I began this work I am constantly amazed by the messages I receive from animals for their humans and the intricate understanding they have of our problems and worries.  Animals tend to send me their emotional burdens in greater detail than their physical ones at present though the two are inextricably linked. Visit the Communication and Healing and Readings pages if you're looking for help with an animal.

Readings can be helpful in understanding your animals' needs.  If you are introducing a new animal into your family and need reassurance that they will settle or if your animal is off colour and you can't quite put your finger on the cause a reading could be helpful.  If you would like to hear what your animal has to say and you think you might like me to do a reading then please study the notes on Readings and How to View Them then email me with a photo of your animal friend with a brief outline of the problem and I shall reply as soon as possible. I also practice and study various forms of vibrational energy healing. The most recent is the Emotional Freedom Techniques which I have now trained to Practitioner Level II in. This is an astonishing modality which has helped every sort of emotional, health and performance issue at some point across the globe. EFT can be used on animals, humans and at distance.  It is easily taught to clients too and helps eliminate fears, phobias and self doubt.  If you need support in any of these areas then visit the Emotional Freedom Techniques page on this site.

I am also an Equine Touch practitioner and am available for consultations for your horses in the Cotswold and surrounding areas. Go to the Equine Touch page on this site to find out more.
