I began my work as a professional therapist for both people and animals in 1999. As time has gone on I’ve found my work expanding and new doors of opportunity opening in the form of my diploma courses run by Stonebridge College, my Animal Healing Workshop CD and my magazine columns.

 

I am now based in SW Wales though I travel extensively throughout the UK visiting clients and teaching workshops.

 

I am qualified and insured in several therapies for working with both humans and animals and when the need arises as a combination.

 

Whilst I choose to work with all animals, specialise in equines and equine/human interaction and relationships.

 

I am constantly researching and working to expand my knowledge on such subjects as my primary focus and interest.

 

I also write diploma courses for Stonebridge College as a way of making information and vocational qualifications easily accessible for everyone who feels they would like to learn about these subjects.

 

I live with my family consisting of my partner, my two teenage children and my baby granddaughter as well as a large number of ponies, horses, cats and other animals.

 

I have a strong interest in Mindbody medicine and how the emotions control our way of thinking, how we interact and project ourselves. I also enjoy working with medical enigmas and the more in depth psychological and medical cases.

 

Equine Background

It was due to my first horse Kayleigh and her numerous illnesses and a major veterinary misdiagnosis that almost lead to her painful death that first raised my interest in animal communication and complementary therapies. Since then I have been working with horses (and often their riders/owners) with therapy and rehabilitation.

 

As well as working with intuitive communication and therapy with horses I also work with equine facilitated therapy and equine behaviour as well as animal communication.

 

Through my work it has become obvious that it’s not just the rehabilitation of horses that is needed but also a deeper insight from their owners in order to make the much, needed changes that ensure a good relationship and forward progress.

 

Horses aren’t machines they are sentient beings with a huge ability to think and feel for them selves. Through my work and promotion of this I hope to enable others to see them in a new light too, one that is most deserved.
