Get to know me

I’ve always had a love for animals.

My pets are so awesome and I love hanging out with them. We are guardians to two Devon Rex cats – Gandhi, a clumsy and loving grey cat and Mandala, a gentle princess. Aura is our spoilt Mini Dachshund, Karma is our loyal Dachshund mix, and Eli is our Quacker parrot, that talks way too much.

​From as young as I can remember animals have always been a part of my life. As a small child it was very tough at times and I remember feeling scared, afraid and misunderstood. Animals were always my safe place, my security and comfort when things went to shit. Each of them had a name and played an important part in my life.

My love for animals led me to become a wildlife carer, caring for possums, wallabies, kangaroos, sugar gliders and birds.At this time I found that orphaned furless animals were coming in so traumatised, cold, sluggish and exhausted. Although the pinkies would be put down my bra to keep warm and calm they were still crying and not settling it was breaking my heart. I was on a mission to find something safe and natural to help these babies.

This initially came ot me in the form of flower essences. I found giving a small amount in the side of their mouths relaxed them in a short aount of time. Learning more about these alternative methods and learning about the animals’ essential nature helped immensely too.

Raising children then became my priority and these essences and other modalities helped them through teething, school and more.

As my children grew, I began running my own dog grooming business. This was no ordinary dog grooming business. I soon realised I had lots of dogs that had been subjected bad experiences with groomers, banned for biting or misbehaving and some that had to be sedated to be groomed.

These dogs had such high anxiety they just could not be groomed. With time, patience, remedies and simply understanding that it is an imbalance in the dogs’ systems that needed to be corrected, these dogs became patient and loving clients.

Along with anxiety, skin Issues, allergies, ear infections and odd behaviours were high on the list of imbalances I was working with.
