Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all had a lovely relaxing Christmas break and are coming back refreshed and ready to hit the ground running! ☀️👙🌊🏖️📖🐕

Can you believe we’re halfway through January already?! The year of the fire horse will have things moving at a rapid pace for us this year from mid February onwards, so get ready for a year of action and change!

My first day back at work included a follow up session with Eeyore, an 11 year old Pinto. I was asked to treat Eeyore before Christmas to see what came up for her and at the risk of sounding like the biggest cliché ever….. it turned out Eeyore was really depressed! Oh dear… 😔

And it was completely understandable, as I was told dear Eeyore had lost her Mum when she was just 3 months old and watched her being euthanised.

Sweet little Eeyore, was on high alert, she was spooky, had anxiety, depression, low life force energy and she had significant imbalances in her energy field.

First of all, Eeyore needed four Bach flowers and four essential oils to help resolve some layers of her sadness and depression.

She also indicated she needed Emotional Stress Release (ESR) to address her emotional state and the trauma she was carrying surrounding the loss of her mother.

As placed my hand on her head and began the ESR, Eeyore dropped deeply into her parasympathetic nervous system, relaxing completely. She had some beautiful releases and was calm and grounded afterwards. I also adjusted her poll, her TMJs, her neck and masseter muscle (cheek) which is crucial for grazing and drinking, and can be affected by stress.

I left Eeyore a Vetiver essential oil blend to continue using, and I received the following feedback a couple of days after her session:

“Eeyore update - she seems much happier and a bit more like her usual perky self. She’s allowed back on grass overnights now which is helping too. Rode today first time since her session and she was so much less spooky than usual too! Loves her oil, keeps trying to bite the bottle. Thanks again. Will be in touch soon re a follow up ☺️”

When I treated Eeyore again we worked on more specific fears that she had been struggling with, including her fear of dogs after a bad experience, her fear of tarpaulins and her fear of floating. I also addressed some physical issues, including her right rear cannon bone at the site of a previous injury, as well as her gut and jaw.

After her treatment, whilst enjoying a pile of fresh hay in her paddock a dog wandered in and walked straight past Eeyore. She was significantly calmer than expected with only a minor response to the complete injustice of it all.🤣

More and more telepathic messages are beginning to come through from animals during their treatments lately. ✨

I was treating Daffy recently, a bouncy puppy with limited concentration and tons of energy. He didn’t want to sit still for long, so when he came over and sat in front of me, staring intently into my eyes it was clear he was trying to communicate something! He held his stare and refused to look away, just as Giddy the rabbit had done with his human several weeks earlier!

I asked Daffy what he’d like to tell me and he communicated “I don’t like Freddy”. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ When I asked his human who Freddy was, he told me he used to drop Daffy off at Freddy’s house to play with another dog while he took Freddy out for training.

Understandably, Daffy felt pangs of jealousy. Of course this wasn’t poor Freddy’s fault, but dear wee Daffy couldn’t understand why he had to stay behind while Freddy was out having fun adventures with his Dad! 😭

At just over 13 months old and 48kg Daffy has was recently diagnosed with hip dysplasia. His Dad couldn’t remember which hip was bothering him, however Daffy was able to mirror the pain back to me to let me know. I treated his right hip and both elbows which whilst not yet apparent on his x-rays, his vet suspected they may also become problematic down the track.

Daffy showed signs of discomfort whilst treating his right elbow which confirmed there was indeed an issue beginning. With early and ongoing treatment for his condition we’ll be able to reduce his need for medication, make him more comfortable, improve his quality of life, and we may also be able to prevent his condition from worsening. Alongside his treatments it’s important Daffy maintains a healthy weight, receives adequate nutrients from his diet and exercises sensibly.

His Dad also received some Bach flowers during the session, as Daffy was mirroring his Dad’s emotions.

Our energies merge all the time and our animals selflessly take on our pain so that we don’t have to carry it, so the more we can do to keep ourselves in balance the more our animals will benefit too!

Daffy is the biggest, cuddliest, fluffiest do**us and I worked hard to contain my excitement when all I wanted to do was roll around the floor cuddling him and shriek excitedly 🤣❤️ I’m not sure we would’ve been able to calm him down enough to treat him after that though! 😂 His dog trainer Dad was so impressed at my self-control and I was rewarded with huge Daffy cuddles at the end of the session 🤎

Sometimes this is what a treatment looks like…..

Nebo arrived for a treatment, but turns out Mum needed it more 💚

Weighing a whopping 5.5 kg, Nebo communicated during the treatment that he was “strong and brave”. His statement was just so sweet that it moved me to tears. 😍🥰

Our pets are so selfless and authentic…. They really are the most special beings. Great work looking after your precious family Nebo 🙏💚

I was asked to look after 28 year old Charm while her human was away and had arrived to do the run through of her feed, medication and hoof care.

Charm was happily munching on her hard feed and almost finished when she began showing signs of discomfort. She walked out into her pen and began lowering her head and stretching repeatedly, at times assuming the downward dog position.

She then proceeded to throw herself on the ground rather dramatically, landing with a loud thud. She lay there while we watched her for a couple of minutes to see if she might roll. She didn’t move, and after what seemed like an eternity, her human, concerned she was dying, called the vet. I began working energetically on her central meridian to assist with her organ function (digestion and elimination in particular). She mirrored her discomfort in my body and I could feel trapped gas and an indigestion like issue.

She responded well to the energetic bodywork and sat up, and shortly after rose to her feet. I worked on her large intestine meridian and she began releasing gas and had lots of tummy gurgles, all positive signs the energy was shifting.

Charm stood looking completely relaxed and totally blissed out whilst her human explained to the vet what she’d just witnessed. I mean….. the lengths some animals will go to to communicate they’d like a treatment! 🤣
Thankfully, her human booked her in for a full treatment and a few days later I arrived to treat her.

Charm was understandably sore, at 28 years old she’d spent a lot of time under saddle. Her life force was also low, all of her chakras out of balance and her Craniosacral rhythm was switched off. I gave her some Bach flowers for stiffness and rigidity of her musculoskeletal system, and exhaustion, despondency and lethargy and then I began giving her energetic bodywork to address her sore areas. I worked all along her saddle area, her withers, hips, stifles, hocks, fetlocks, shoulders and neck. I also treated her sacroiliac and lumbar spine.

Charm enjoyed her treatment and I watched her physical body transform before my eyes. Her topline came up and she filled out through her torso, becoming noticeably fuller and rounder through her ribs and mid section.

Clearly more comfortable throughout her whole body, Charm showed gratitude for her treatment, and I was suitably impressed with her Oscar winning performance to secure the booking. 😉 Let’s hope you don’t need to go to those lengths next time though Charm 💕

Not one to take photos in a crisis I didn’t capture Charm’s time laid out on the ground, but I did manage to capture this before and after from her treatment. ❤️

I had treated Giddy previously to help resolve some bonding issues he was having with Charlotte, a female rabbit who had recently joined the family.

Later I was asked to treat the whole family including Giddy, Charlotte and their human and there was a lot of positive change after each of their sessions. Of significance, was his human’s treatment where I removed some blocks for her around her career, and just a couple of days later she was presented with a job offer… for her dream job nonetheless! 🎉🙌🏼

Another week or so passed and she was relaxing in her swing chair in the lounge when Giddy hopped over and made eye contact. He sat staring intently at her and while he remained there staring into her eyes she began to think about me and was unable to get me out of her head! Giddy was delivering her a telepathic message! He stayed there until he was confident she understood and then hopped away again and her thoughts of me completely disappeared.

It seemed Giddy felt a follow-up session was in order prior to his Mum beginning her new job!

When I arrived, I treated Charlotte first. Usually terrified of people, she confidently hopped over, sat in front of me and happily accepted a pat - much to her human’s surprise. I was able to release a lot of trapped emotions, some of which she had taken on for her human to try and help alleviate her stress and emotional burden.

Giddy’s session was more remarkable. As I tuned in, I felt sadness and sensed his bonding issues were a reflection of what was going on with his human; confusion about her place in the world. He was mirroring this and it was presenting as uncertainly about his own environment.

Expressing this truth was enough to shift the energy in both Giddy and his human and she expressed to me that she immediately felt a lot lighter. It’s difficult to put into words just how beautiful and deeply transformative the session was.

I was astounded by the correlation between the events occurring in their lives, and the depth and capacity for these beautiful little souls to understand and help guide their human back to completeness. 💚

Our animals bring such wonderful blessings into our lives. What may appear to be an issue at the time may simply be an opportunity for us to look beyond the surface into our own lives, to shed unwanted emotions and outdated beliefs so that we may grow and ascend to the next level 🩷✨

I’m so excited having just treated Republican Party, NZ’s top contender for the IRT NZ Trotting Cup this year, ahead of his big race on Tuesday.

This gorgeous stallion was an absolute dream to work on again. In spite of having a few niggles to address he was an absolute gentleman and showed exceptional manners.

Good luck for Tuesday Stewey aka Republican Party. I’ll be there cheering you on! 😍🏆🙌🏼

Horses asking for me by name when I’ve not yet met them is testament to the extremely high frequency these beautiful souls are vibrating at. ✨🐴

It feels somewhat surreal but also incredibly exciting and makes me wonder just what else is possible in this limitless quantum field in which we live!

What made this story even more remarkable, was that Harley’s human hadn’t heard about my work and had no idea who I was!!

Harley’s ‘Mum’ also works energetically, so would often treat Harley herself. However, there are often limitations when working on our own animals and in this instance she felt that he needed someone else to treat him.

She tuned in and began communicating with him, suggesting names of several practitioners she thought may be able to help. He wasn’t interested in anyone she suggested and communicated to her that he wanted “Lisa”. She was a little bewildered as she didn’t know a “Lisa”. However, she trusted Harley knew implicitly what he needed so she set about trying to find me.

That’s when I received the following message from Harley’s human “Harley asked me to get you to come see him 🤷‍♀️ Once you meet me you will understand that comment 🧙🐈‍⬛🧹😉”

I understood immediately… We are all connected by energy. Just as we are connected to the animal world and may be able to communicate with them and sense their needs, moods, thoughts or emotions through energy; animals are also deeply connected to each other and share their own forms of communication.

It is well documented that trees communicate with eachother through their roots in an underground network, and that animals communicate with each other in the wild even when they are separated by vast distances.

I think of it as an intricate network of interwoven connections, almost like a spiderweb spanning out through the animal kingdom which enables them to send telepathic messages to each other!

This gives a whole new meaning to the term “word of mouth”! And regardless of how it works, I’m fascinated and touched deeply that they’re asking to see me and are communicating this to their humans! 🙏🩷🥰

I travelled to meet Harley who was an absolute sweetheart. He soaked up his treatment and loved every minute!

What do Harry, Harley and Giddy have in common? They all share a special bond with their humans which has allowed them to connect deeply and share telepathic messages 🩷

We all have this ability, sometimes it just takes stillness and practice to hear the messages our animals are sending us.

Animal communication may come to us by way of images, words, dreams, thoughts that drop into our head or sometimes it may simply be a strong sense of knowing. They are always communicating with us!

Harry and I had developed a special connection through prior treaments. He is a rather magnificent warmblood thoroughbred cross, who was sent home early from the breakers, declared dangerous and suggested he be shot before he killed someone. After a few treatments with Harry where he released layers of trauma, sadness and grief, he softened and would nuzzle into me to express his gratitude after treatments. He even started to enjoy being brushed and ridden again.

When Harry was stabled with his herd one day he started acting out. He began repeatedly nodding his head and slapping his lips in an attempt to capture his human’s attention. It worked. She approached to see what was going on. Patting his head gently she asked what all the fuss was about and what he needed. Harry just stared intently at her. She cuddled into him, gently pressing her forehead into his, and at that precise moment, an image came to her of beautiful angel wings in soft pastel tones.

She exclaimed “oh, you’d like an angel”. As the image revealed itself a little more and the colours intensified, she realised I was in the image with these huge angel wings! His human immediately recognised the image as my Facebook profile picture in which I’m standing in front of a huge mural of outstretched wings in lovely soft pastels with my dog, Scout.

Harry had sent her this image telepathically. Acknowleging his request, she assured him she would ask me to visit and Harry calmed right down, knowing he’d been heard and understood he seemed content that he’d expressed himself successfully and would see me soon!💚

Harley and Giddy’s stories still to come…… 🐴🐇💛

Giddy, a shy mixed breed rabbit was prone to anxiety. I had previously helped Giddy overcome his anxiety allowing him to successfully bond with his new friend Charlotte. The two were enjoying life together until Charlotte recently became ill and Giddy attacked her. Although this is a normal survival instinct, logistically it meant they needed to be separated which wasn’t ideal.

Additionally, Charlotte and Giddy no longer felt safe being outside. When they were put outside they immediately scrambled to get back in. Although doing her absolute best for them, her human felt bad for Charlotte and Giddy being inside in an artificial environment when there was a back yard full of yummy long grass and lots of beautiful sunshine since the arrival of Spring!

I was asked to treat them both to support their reintroduction and ideally help them regain confidence to spend time together outdoors again.

I treated Giddy first and gave him some Bach flowers to support his emotions and I worked energetically to balance and release the emotions he was mirroring from his human. I also balanced his chakras and made him a bespoke Bach flower blend for him to continue taking.

Charlotte needed support emotionally as well as with her immune system. All of her chakras were out of balance and she wasn’t grounded. I gave her a different blend of Bach flowers, released some stuck emotions and energetically sent several nutrients through her energy field to support her immune system and bring her back into balance. I could also feel some tenderness through one of her cheeks so worked energetically to release any physical trauma in this area. Her human explained that Charlotte often gets under her feet when she’s in the kitchen preparing meals, so she may have accidentally bumped her with a cupboard door some time ago.

I received this email and photo two days after treating both bunnies;

“Hi Lisa,
Just wanted to send a quick note of gratitude following your help. Giddy and Charlotte seem so much better already. We have been doing short bonding "dates" in the outside run, which have been going really well. Charlotte even lay down and wanted to go to sleep there this morning.”

It’s so rewarding to see Charlotte and Giddy outside together again, enjoying regular bunny life with the sun on their backs and the grass beneath their feet! ☀️ 🌿🐇
