White Horse Holistics, North, Ilfracombe (2025)

Emerging with a multi-sensory discipline, following time spent with both my practice and skills evolving and maturing, has given me a much desired level of freedom and flexibility. Combining intuition, a passion for life sciences, and an extensive breadth of experience, has reaped its rewards. Actively encouraging fluidity within my core specialisms, and harnessing both their individual and collective abilities to cross boundaries freely, has resulted in my naturally working with this specific client group in an entirely unique way. I have been fortunate enough to treat breeds ranging from Shetland ponies to Shire horses, working collies to retired racing greyhounds, and a good many others in between. Without exception, the results are always positive and enlightening. Something which I trust is continually reflected in my practice.

🌿 Not long ago I gave another talk and live demonstration of Zoopharmacognosy in action, at Coastal Canine Cuisine, in Ilfracombe. As always, the evening was well attended and the audience were both curious and game enough to join in with taste / scent testing, and ask lots of questions! 👅👃

🐶 One participant was the wonderful guardian of these two beautiful Staffies, Roxy and Kermit. Amazed at how much there was to learn about ‘Why Animals Eat Plants’, Sandra asked me to visit them at home. Having cared for a number of Staffies, she described Roxy as her biggest challenge yet. Both rescue dogs came to her loving, experienced home with not insignificant issues. We made a start with Roxy, as the behaviours she can display are most challenging. Engagement with all the aromatic products was excellent, her selections very clear, and difficulty ‘giving in’ achieved by the end of the session. Lots of flags for her nervous system, the gut-brain axis and cranio-sacral healing, but a couple of weeks and lots of homework later, Roxy knew exactly what to do for her follow-up session and ‘dropped in’ significantly more easily. Despite having already reaped the benefits as onlooker, Kermit’s initial apparent apathy turned into fierce, directed selections too! Both dogs self-medicated hugely appropriate aromatics and on evenings when Sandra is offering them their top selections, they can’t wait! 🌱🐾

🙌 Sandra also decided to have a pair of energy sessions with me herself. I love it when guardians make time to care for themselves! This was where she learned the truth of my favourite mantra “bodies never lie”; seeking help initially for a physical problem, Sandra soon discovered the powerful nature of clearing blocked energies and freeing emotions that no longer serve us, as well ✨

♥️ When I asked Sandra recently if she’d like to bring the dogs along for my Interspecies Communication course participants to practise their communication skills with, she agreed - and all three excelled themselves. I feel incredibly fortunate to engage with so many animal guardians who are prepared to work not only with their animals but also to listen to and work on themselves, and then share the benefits with others too; it’s a win-win for everyone. (The well-earned pint at the pub afterwards wasn’t bad either! 🍻)

Another astonishingly beautiful weekend spent immersed in wild, windswept Exmoor surroundings with three fabulous new Interspecies Communicators 🍃🍂🍁🐷🐮🐴🌿🐝

This course feels incredible every time I teach it 🙌 We met with Mangalitsas, Longhorns and Exmoors, journeyed with Hawthorn and Oak Moss, and dove deep into the magic of our inner and outer landscapes. They’ve even asked for an Advanced version! ♥️ Mead Meadowcroft Bradshaw you were a joy to work with, thank you 🙏 Special thanks also go to Lamosa, Roxy and Kermit for being such super energetic Case Studies on Day 1 🙌

I’m so incredibly blessed and so very proud of every single one of you who has embarked upon this path with me 😊 What the world needs is more peace, more love and more connectivity 🙏♥️🫶 Humans be-ing the change in alignment with the natural world 🌱🐾🌍

🫶 It’s said that, in Ireland, someone who possesses psychic or intuitive ability is simply referred to as having ‘The Gift’. It took me a long while to recognise that that included me and the feelings of wonder and humility - every time I commune with a plant, animal or human - never fade. In fact, the pull to step fully into and honour my ancestral lineage has become stronger than ever in recent years.

🙌 Something that I maybe don’t talk about enough, then, is the energetic work or healing that I facilitate, across all species. I’m absolutely passionate about the trio of core modalities I engage with - something auric, something structural and something holistically medicinal - and very often treatments / consultations will seamlessly combine elements of them all. But what moves me every time, no matter what I offer up, is that our bodies never lie. We each carry our pain as individually as we all exist in this lifetime. And that potentially starts in the womb - the birth experience becoming our first, and our blueprint, of how our own particular version of the world might unfold. For years I mourned the traumatic birth experiences of both my children - for them and for me - until one day I realised that without them I would not be nearly as readily equipped to recognise and facilitate healing around this, in others.

🫶 How many women visit their GP with a presenting skin condition and come away having received not only healing but pelvic guidance for releasing energetically stored trauma? And yet this is normal for the clients I treat. Our energetic imprints are more than loud in the relational field; they tell the stories that sometimes we are too afraid to tell ourselves. In spite of our ‘invisibility cloaks’, heartbreak, digestive issues, lost and unborn children, these all show up for release without my hands even touching someone’s body and without need for taking a detailed medical history. The real skill, then, lies in how we offer up this information to our client so that they remain ‘held’ in the ‘safe space’ we have created together.

🙌 The same is equally true of animals too. I recently witnessed a mare with a history of kissing spines and sarcoids rub herself along the entire length of her stable wall as a means of release, and then reverse into the doorway and proceed to engage in systematic pelvic rocking for same. On this occasion, this was induced by the use of Zoopharmacognosy - the energetics of the oils themselves being a force to be reckoned with.

🫶 It’s no coincidence when practitioners attract to themselves the kinds of client (human or animal) that they are most able to help; and vice versa when a client naturally seeks them out. The work we are drawn together for illustrates beautifully the adage that “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts”; I have been party to this often. So the message in all of this? It’s to listen. With every part of you. And most of all, to honour the heartfelt wisdom that your body is sharing - you are worth it!

🙌 The Autumn Equinox brought us the second harvest; a reminder to show gratitude for the fruits of our labours, as well as a time for introspection as the wheel of the year gently turns; the hues of Autumn bringing their signature comfort and warmth. In recent days, the veil has lifted for the passing over of one of my two childhood heroines, the inimitable Dr Jane Goodall, as well as the esteemed Irish author, Manchán Magan; their shared love of the natural world and messages of hope for the generations to come, an inspiration. As this month’s Hunter’s Moon reaches fullness in the night sky, it’s the perfect time for us to reflect on our relationship with the landscape within us, of us and around us - the all important interconnectedness of all things - and to shed what no longer serves us, moving forwards with even greater purpose and integrity.

🫶 May your days be blessed always 🍃🍂🍁✨
