This is me and one of my cats. We’ve been in the wars recently, she had both her back legs broken and then later had to have a plate removed as her body decided to reject it.

At one point she had metal growing out of her leg, which was a bit freaky so here she is recovering nicely.

And me, I was diagnosed with a rare untreatable blood cancer, and amyloidosis in the heart, liver, spleen and kidneys. I also have a factor x misnomer which means my blood doesn’t clot as quickly as most, I also have a goitre and overactive thyroid and am menopausal.

It’s been a wild ride and yet through it all my faith stands the rest of time. I don’t want chemo, it is unlikely to work for me and won’t rid me of the amyloid depositors creating the most damage and means a future life on chemo and in isolation for chunks of time away from my animals, my garden and the life I’ve created despite this wretched -ease.

I’m also a shaman, coach, therapist frequency healer, animal communicator, lover of books and the arts, adventurous foodie and traveller free spirit at heart.

I also host my own weekly radio show “animal chat” on the best internet community radio station where you can catch me every Wednesday at 10am gmt.

I love the change in seasons and got to see this pretty blackthorn flower in the morning sunshine as thousands more around it are ready to burst open in bloom

Like nature, much happens in the rest of wintertime and us humans benefit from hibernation at this time too.

So glad to feel the first inklings of coming out of hibernation, not too fast mind you!

Recovery takes many guises, from emergency surgery to post-operative care through to daily grooms, cuddles, gentle strolls around the house and lounging on the sofa.

Keep it varied for your convalescing cat to avoid boredom, and low mood and stimulate the mind and body.

Daily trips downstairs to look out of the windows and snooze on the couch have really boosted this little ladies mood while she’s on strict house rest.

We’ve even seen her start to play again , besting up her catnip mouse and stropping her claws in all the usual places.

Allowing a cat to set the pace of her recovery makes all the difference as does time and space to express her usual cat behaviours.

Nothing is separate, everything is connected and many factors make up the road to recovery all underpinned with love, patience and kindness

Today’s show is a tough subject, as my brave guest shares her story through the tragic loss of her son, and how her animals helped her and the family through.

Bereavement is no joke and the waves of grief can be unpredictable and unkind, yet if we didn’t love there would be no grief.

Bittersweet and insightful my guest Teresa shares how sepsis changed her family forever and how wonderful her dogs and cats have been throughout the whole experience.

Another testament to their unconditional love, on my weekly “Animal Chat” radio show

This is an infrared heat pad, my little familiar has finally accepted this as part of her ongoing care because it feels amazing.

Being a typical aloof cat on one hand and a galactic ancient light being who’s walked many many lifetimes with me she is highly complex.

Standard cat in someways because new things are not okay and this was no exception. Until one day when I switched it on and left her to it.

Every time I went back to have a look she had her legs in different positions and was working the heat with her healing bones.

Wonderful to see her using her own knowledge and body wisdom to heal.

So to the witch who used her magic against us, who broke all codes of intuitive working to hurt us and to anyone else who thinks they may be able to stop us sharing our light.

You can’t.

This full moon shines bright, my rituals and private practise is strong and powerful and I remember exactly who I am.

To all the witches who fell before me and my kind, because of the 6 million hunted down we are strong.

If you are Witchy, Intuitive, Green Fingered or Magical with Medicine and Craft, Always Remember your light, remember your craft and shine it bright!

Last night for a special gathering for my Intuition Breathwork Circle as we gathered for the Winter Solstice we Co-crafted and weaved our intentions into nature charms and drawings

I sang words and chants that came from the 4 directions, the woodland spirits and elementals to embody@and bless our intentions.

We listened to two beautiful tracks in quiet contemplation while being, women connected in sacred circle weaving their own private intentions into our wider reaching and shared intentions.

Breathwork, sharing circle, insights and messages from the animal kingdom, trees such as Holly, Oak, Cedar, and Redwood and plants like Laurel and Ivy all Co-created with us.

To finish we journeyed from autumn into winter with a tree and new animal guide. The ripple of insights and learnings will unfold as we continue to hibernate.

It’s fair to say it was a magical evening completing another year on the medicine wheel.

Our next circle will be towards the end of January as we start to walk the Celtic wheel of the year in the depth of winter.

Curious to explore this part of you and be part of a sacred collaborative community there are 3 spaces remaining.

Dealing with loss is an inevitable part of sharing your heart with an animal friend and it can really hurt.

Having grieved for one of my cats for over 6 months in my 20’s and was mocked mercilessly by some ignorant work colleagues at the time, I knew one day I’d have to share my story.

Fast forward a decade or two and there’s been a few more heartaches along the way, in this show I share ways you can cope and prepare for this stage of being a pet parent on my weekly show “animal chat” on

Smiles all round from this one. Tummy rubs and walks are her favourite things to do after eating!

Once a street dog and now a beloved companion this little lady has overcome so much, yet her smile is often a short gap away from a snap as she moves from oxcitement and joy into over stimulation.

Never unkind and always with love in her heart (to me anyway) she simply didn’t learn how to experience, express or regulate joy when she was a puppy.

As she is SUCH a direct and clear communicator I feel blessed that I can read and understand her body language and know the signs. With training and the right kind of play she’s learning how to regulate herself and not snap near me or others when she’s joyful.

Just one of many, many reasons why dogs cannot be left with anyone who doesn’t get them. If you don’t know when your dog is over stimulated or in arousal then you may have an experience on your hands you don’t want.

There’s more on this subject from guests on my radio shows on

Todays show is all about living with lockdown pets, life after those two years.

Take some time around the winter solstice, on the 21st the shortest day of the year to reflect on how far you have come this year and this decade. Also, look ahead to what seeds you want to plant in the coming 1-10 years. With much unrest in the world, be sure to include peace and the birds & the bees in the mix, especially with love in your heart.

From my heart to yours,
