My own life has been an evolving and expanding level of understanding and appreciation of both animals and of what it means to be human. I have a background in vet nursing, farm work and different healing modalities as well as having had a number of animals in my care.

One of the challenges associated with our relationship with animals, is to both recognise what may be going on for them while not projecting our humanness onto them.

This means to be conscious of their natural and instinctual behaviours while also realising the impact our actions have upon them and their individual or collective growth. It means to know when to step in and when to step back – not always easy.

As a young child, I walked in the early mornings, looking at nature all around the garden – the birds, the bugs and the flowers. I did not grow up in a particularly animal-orientated family, but was naturally interested in animals, any animal.

As I grow older and become more aware as an individual, I notice how much more we have to learn about the animal kingdom and the injustices towards them that need the light shone on them so that we can make good where we fall short.

For my part, I have chosen or been steered towards making a stand for the animals in various ways as well as being able to tune into what they may be experiencing and how I may serve them, through my practice.

Just as I have supported my own animals with flower essences and made personal commitment to walk beside each one as they experience life’s challenges, I support other animals and their people in the same way. This is done, recognisng too, the commitments animals make to us.

Flower essences may work very subtly or very obviously with an animal. A lady gave essences to her colt who had been withdrawn since the loss of his mother. He had been hand-reared by the lady and her partner.

Within two weeks of taking the essences, he was bright and keen to engage in what was around him. Because the change was so quick and marked, the lady stopped giving the essences as she felt the change in the young horse was “quite enough”.

It is wonderful to realise just how animals can respond to this natural and potent vibrational medicine.

Flower Essences

As an animal communicator and a Registered Practitioner of First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® since 2009, I work with the flower essences to assist the animals to manage any situation with as much ease, healing and growth as possible.
I draw on many years of experience as a qualified veterinary nurse as well as having a practical approach that recognises everyone has differing circumstances.

Homeobotanicals

In some situations, I may add homeobotanicals (vibrational herbal preparations) to a blend as well.
Flower essences work energetically at the mental, emotional and spiritual levels, while the homeobotanicals have a more physical therapeutic action.
The flower essences and homeobotanicals can work in well with other modalities such as reiki, bowen, bodytalk, EFT, behavioural training, aquarian healing, massage and the many other therapies available today.
They also may support veterinary care.
I do advise to always seek professional veterinary attention where needed.
