Channeller I explore life from a place where living with another is about a relationship, a co-existence, a partnership. I explore life with a dog as a teaching, a lesson and experience of what it is like to live with another animal. My work, teachings, knowledge, experience and qualifications teach you how to live your best life with your dog. This is not from a place of expecting your dog to do what you want them to do or have been told how your dog should behave. This is from a place of understanding your dog, understanding yourself and how best to support your dog in all aspects. It's about how you nourish yourself in the same way. I have created this FREE e-book so you can explore seven ways to connect with your dog and understand what they are feeling. When you feel like you don't know what to do. When you feel like you have failed your dog or that your dog is not doing what you except go them, here you get to break free from the judgment, blame and frustration you place on your dog and yourself and explore what it truly means to co-exist with your dog and how to live your best life with them,

When your animal friend transitions, it can be one of the most powerful healing experiences for you.

Sounds impossible, right?

It is one of the most painful experiences - it is supposed to be. But, it can be one of the most powerful - it is supposed to be.

This is what I experienced when Tunkasila transitioned and the power of honouring her transition and my grief as both sacred and in ceremony.

Together, we created a ceremony for her, for myself and how I was to continue in this ceremony for my grief.

You see, their transition and our grief is both sacred and it is medicine.

The challenge is that sacred does not speak to our thinking mind, so we cannot think our way out of grief, but we can enter sacred with it.

Our animal friends do not care when they transition. They do not care about age, about being in a body or being out of it - they do not need to be in a body to be alive. They tell me this allll the time.

In fact, when they are out of a body they have so much more freedom to show up for us, support us, guide us and be with us through infinite consciousness.

Here they stand as both spirit guide and ancestor enticing us back to sacred ground, from which we once knew and lived from.

Beyond the body, the name and what out thinking minds see and limit our animal friends as, they are something much bigger, much greater that they come in to our life for - both in their physical life and even more so when they transition back to being non-physical form.

Our animal friends are expressions of source consciousness - pure love without limits and a being that does not live from limits of the thinking mind. They live from the unlimited place of soul span and of sacred.

What they ask is to be seen as sacred and the unlimited love that they hold as a message for us to love ourselves unconditionally. What they show in how they are is a message to our soul, of the hurts we carry, the sorrows we feel and the deep griefs we know - starting with the deep grief of our soul longing to be loved and connected with sacred again.

This is where their transition can be one of the most powerful healing experiences for you and the sacred medicine it offers.

To sit in ceremony and honour your animal as sacred, to know how to honour their transition and what they welcome to be honoured when they transition, to be in ceremony with your grief and enter sacred ground - the landscape in which grief resides - and enter soul work through the transition of your animal friend, is one of the most profound, intimate and powerful healing experiences your animal friend offers you.

Transition and grief require to be met at the margins of sacred and ceremony - it is the language that both know and the language that speaks to your soul.

Their transition is more than what the thinking mind can know, what we are told and what we hold on to.

I explore your animal friends transition and your grief with you.

If you are curious to understand of these ways and how I can support, I am giving a free live talk on Saturday 28th February.

Comment with a "🌟" and I will send you the link.

Your animal friend's transition is sacred medicine, it's just that it may not feel like it because we are no longer told how to honour, hold and be with their transition.

Their transition is to be honoured in ceremony and so is our grief.

Their transition is a sacred act for us so that we can enter a sacred space of our hurts from the heart break felt - we are heart broken so we can be heart open.

We cannot think our way out of their transition - it is sacred and the thinking mind does not know the landscape of sacred, but the body and soul do.

We can get trapped in the thinking mind that tells us about our animal friend's transition and here we can get trapped in the grief.

But their transition and our grief is the medicine - it is not just the grief we feel from their transition but an opportunity to simply feel and be with all the grief. Our animal friends know we are hurting, not just from their transition, but from all the hurts we carry that we have not given attention to but that we keep held within us.

Our animal friends do not want us to carry these hurts or the hurts we put on to ourselves. They see transition in a very different light knowing that they do not need to be in a body to be alive.

Yet, they know their transition can be deep sacred medicine for you when you know how to be with it in this way.

The grief we feel that the thinking mind will make you believe is from your animal friend's transition, is not just grief from this. Yes, we are to grieve and grieve in a certain way with ceremony, but the grief the thinking mind assigns to an animal's transition is not just that - it is an opening to all the sorrows of the heart, of all the unresolved griefs we carry. Not just from the transition of other loved ones, but the griefs we carry from being excluded, shamed, denied, judged, abused, oppressed, unloved, feeling guilty...and...and...and.

It's from all the pains we have experienced in this life, all the pains carried from past lives, ancestors, land, the collective.

Then, the grief we feel from our animal friend's transition is more - the fear of not being in control, the shame or guilt we feel, the fear of the love we may never get again, the loss of ceremony that the grief asks for.

It sounds crazy to the thinking mind, but their transition is our healing. Our animal friends live from sacred and speak to our sacred mind, the soul, They do not speak to our thinking mind or care what we think. As sacred, they know what our soul is ready for and what they want us to explore when their transition comes.

They simply want us to live from sacred ground and be with them as pure expressions of source consciousness as unconditional love.

On Saturday February 28th at 7pm UK time I will be giving a free live talk about this, how you can tend to your sacred grief through your animal friend's transition and how they are leading you back to being sacred. You can register to attend here:

https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/TQXKda7VSQ60QCIzfQdnlA

I am also holding a ceremony where we can tend to our sacred grief and honour our animal friends in ceremony.

We are grief and death illiterate but our animal friends are not. They wish for us to stop hurting and to remember these ways of sacred, of ceremony and of consciousness. One way they do so is through the sacred medicine of their transition.

There are so many voices in the animal industry and so many desires to "do the right thing" for our animal friends.

The one thing that gets unnoticed most of the time is how we focus so intently on how a dog should behave, what a dog is doing, what we don't like, how we want them to be or how we are with them.

Our animal friends are very patient. They know we are hurting in ways that we know and do not know and that these hurts placed in to us we inadvertently place on to our animal friend.

The belief systems we carry about ourselves, our life, who we are. The guilt, shame, grief, embarrassment. The strict rules, oppression or fitting in to be liked and what is expected.

We can't help ourselves but alllllll these things we place on our animal friends.

All the while they are patiently waiting for the penny to drop and for us to realise how we can see, be with and witness the hurts we carry that we put on to them.

They are expressions of love unlimited. To them, they are perfect and so are you.

All they ask is that you love yourself unconditionally, drop the belief systems that limit and hurt you and that you place on them, and see yourself and your animal friend in your true existence of sacred soul consciousness.

This is a long walk and our animal friends know this. When we begin to really notice and be with our hurts, the turmoil of our belief systems and how we unknowingly place these on to them, we can then see how our animal friends are absolutely fine in who they are and how we can start to love ourselves in the same way to know that we are absolutely fine in who we are.

Here, the pressure we place on our animal friends, ourselves and the expectations, control and oppression to conform under a particular belief system are dissolved and you and your animal friend have a completely different existence - one of recognition, one of unconditional love, one of communion and connection at the highest level.

When you see your animal friend - see that they are unconditional love asking you to notice the hurts you carry from the belief systems you were given or made.

They do not carry these belief systems. They do not carry any belief systems, but in the control, frustration, expectation, impatience, what we want or what we do to get them to "behave" or conform, there within lies a hurt and belief system that happened to us.

They ask that we look at this, through how we are with them and what they are doing, and to do our best to come back to them with unconditional love for yourself.

This is where it begins.

They are sacred and so are we.

They are pure sources of unconditional love and can never not be. We once were and to truly know, exist, be and understand your animal friend and yourself, they are constantly sharing with you to simply love yourself without limits, hurts or belief systems.

What better gift to give yourself this Valentines Day than a symbol from the one you love and who loves you unconditionally - your animal friends!

If you would like to receive the sacred symbol of your animal friend, whether they are in body or have transitioned, and how you can be with their symbol, their consciousness and work with it then I am taking bookings for these.

You can choose black and white or colour.

I really value the sacred of these symbols so don’t share other symbols on socials, but I don’t mind sharing the sacred symbol of Manitou and the sacred symbol of Lelou so you can see what a sacred symbol may look like.

These are great for gifts, to hang up and frame, to journey, dream and meditate with, to use as healing by drawing it over your animal friend or over their food or water…how you can be with their sacred symbol is endless.

When our animal friend transitions, not only are we grieving them, we are also grieving a deep memory that we feel from their transition. This is the deep soul grief we are reminded of and feel from having being separated from soul and sacred. It is what the grief feels like and is - a deep calling and ask from the grief itself to reconnect with soul and its knowing of its eternal connection with the more than human and more than physical realms.

The terrain of sacred and soul is the only place that truly and intimately knows the medicine and landscape of transition and grief in the way it truly is, and that our animals know and are trying lead us to through their transition.

To them, our animal friends exist from this place of soul, of soul span and the cosmological terrain of sacred - they have never left this terrain, only we have.

We cannot think our way out of grief for sacred does not speak to the thinking mind nor does the thinking mind understand it or know of its ways. We have to feel our way in to it, as if we were blind, and be guided by its contours, shapes, sounds and textures as it leads us through the darkness from our sacred body, adding light for us to see as we move through this terrain.

Here, we meet its medicine and all that is waiting for us there - over and over again. We are not supposed to enter this place just once and we are not supposed to enter it willingly. Yet, enter it we must, numerous times. Each time we do so, we receive clarity, wisdom, knowing, familiarity, medicine and gifts to reconnect more and more with soul, sacred and soften our grief all the while lead by the hand that transition and grief lovingly offer us to be our eyes and safely take us through the dark terrain.

As a medicine teacher of sacred transition and sacred grief, I feel, know and hear how our animal friends are sharing with us to return to this natural place of sacred by returning to our natural place of soul. This is what they so willingly invite in their transition and how they ask for their transition to be held in honour, in ceremony and in sacred.

We have forgotten the sacred medicine that is transition and grief, but our souls have not and neither have our animal friends, which is why their transition has to be explored as an initiation, soul work and deep honouring through ceremony. It is the ceremony they ask for and the ceremony our soul calls for.

I am able to share this with you through 1-1s, teachings and ceremonies that explore various offerings relating to sacred transition, grief, ceremony and soul work that are held within a strong space of connection, compassion and consciousness.

My focus is one of a non-judgemental, sacred holder who guides and supports the sacred transition of an animal friend (or human) in order to facilitate a sacred honouring, held in ceremony and support in to the unseen world as well as the soul work and ceremony a guardian is initiated in to from this transition.

Let’s hear and sing together the true voice that is transition and grief back on to our tongues and in to our hearts.

Lets welcome transition and grief as the sacred medicine path they invite us on to.

Let us meet, know of and remember the soul and sacred that we are and are part of, so that we can recognise what transition and grief offer us when they arrive at our door and how they are also part of sacred that we can welcome once again with open arms and hearts as the old friends that they have always been.

We have just forgotten our long lasting soul friendship with grief and transition, but it has not, and neither have our animal friends. Both want you, ask you and need you to keep venturing back to soul, collecting more and more of it each time they call upon you in this way.

Peek-a-boo!

Your animal friend is in your life as a guide to pull you back to sacred, to soul and explore your soul work.

They have nothing but unconditional love for you so can never and will never judge you, shame you or make you feel less than magnificent.

They are bringing you down from the thinking mind and in to the sacred mind, that of feeling, of body, of heart - the place where we can enter our soul work.

As Tunkasila shares, they are the elixir to our spiritual amnesia and medicine for our soul, leading us back to being rooted, connected and woven in to the landscapes of the cosmological ground we are part of and to source consciousness.

Their own consciousness is bigger, wider and deeper than what we think and tell ourselves they are capable of, but as expressions of source consciousness their wisdom is infinite and beyond the animal we give a name and label to (they do not live from labels).

They come not only so you can know of love without limits, but bring you back in to contact with who you and they truly are - bring you back to contact with soul and sacred, both in their life and in their transition, which is also a continuation of your soul work they lead you in to.

We have to do our soul work, we are being asked to do our soul work. Your animal friend is in your life so that you can feel safe and trust enough to do so.

11/02/2026

When your animal friend transitions would you like to know how to honour them and what they would like as a sacred ceremony to support them in transitioning from the world of physical and seen to the world of non physical and unseen.

When your animal friend transitions, would you like to know how to recognise, honour and be with your grief in a sacred way and the medicine it offers you, guided by your animal friend?

What questions would you have about this or what soul stop you from exploring such deep, sacred and soul work?

Your animal friend is more than fine with their transition but asks to be honoured when this take comes. They invite you to step on to the path that is sacred medicine when their transition comes and what your sacred grief is trying to show you and lead you in to.

If you could explore the sacred medicine that is your animal friend's transition and your grief in a sacred way, in ceremony and connect with the consciousness of your animal friend to receive all they have to share and offer you about their transition, your soul work and the continuous existence of cosmological life, then what is stopping you?

Is it a fear of getting in "wrong?"

Is it a fear of hearing something from your animal friend that you don't want to hear?

Is it a fear of entering your soul work and ceremony?

Is it a fear of a sense of if you let go you are not sure if you will be able to get back up?

I'd love to understand and hear the interest you have in wanting to explore transition and grief as a sacred medicine path so that you can feel and have more comfort in knowing what the transition of our animal friend and our grief but what it is that stops you from taking this step?

❤🐶🐶❤

Your animal friend's transition is sacred and so is your grief - it is a medicine path leading you to sacred and back in to ceremony through a journey of soul.

These spaces of transition and grief can feel lonely and isolated, yet we are not supposed to journey on them on our own.

The transition of our animal friend and our grief requires ceremony. It requires that we enter a deep, intimate and uncomfortable space in to the darkness of light and meet those allies waiting for us and the wisdom they have to share.

Your animal friend's transition is sacred medicine for your soul, a continuation of your existence together in a deeper way, a sacred way, a way that pulls you in to these landscapes of soul, who you truly are and your place in in the fabric of cosmological existence with your animal friend.

Yet, we have forgotten these sacred teachings of transition and grief. We have forgotten the very medicine, invitation and initiation they offer for our moving in to deeper consciousness.

With that, we no longer have a village, a community that also knew of the medicine path of sacred transition and grief, how to recognise it and speak to it.

We no longer have these communal spaces of ceremony where we can speak with, be and enter sacred to receive, understand, purge and release all that transition and grief is.

This is why I have created The Village and you are invited to be part of it!

For those who wish to know and be in this space for when their animal friend transitions.
For those whose animal friend's have transitioned.
For those who are in their grief journey.
For those navigating the space of their animal friend transitioning.
For those who wish to speak, be heard, valued and welcomed in talking about this.
For those who wish to get to know the sacred medicine that is grief and transition.
For those who want to be in sacred and soul work.

It is a space where we give attention to transition and grief in a sacred way.
A space where we give ceremony, ritual and connection.
A space where we heal, cry, receive and share.
A space where your name, pain and presence is valued and welcomed.

It’s time that we sat with transition and grief in the way it has always been - sacred medicine - and remember the message it speaks to us. It's time to bring transition and grief in from the cold, where we can sit around the fire together and hear its wisdom.

If you would like to sit with transition and grief in a sacred way and hear your name called out and be witnessed then I invite you to join The Village!

This is not a course.
This is not a membership.
This is a growing village of support, healing, soul work, sharing, ceremony, community and sacred connection where we can feel safe in sharing and being with our animal friend's transition and our grief in a sacred way, in a way our soul knows, remembers and recognises. In a way it used to be and that we long for.

If you would like to join The Village, comment below and I will share with you.

This could be the very thing your heart, your grief and your longing for connection with sacred, unseen and more than human has been asking for.

07/02/2026

My heart is sad.

My soul is full of loss for all that it longs for.

And this is what our animal friends remind us of.

We have been domesticated and we have tried to domesticate them.

Our soul longs for the wild connection that it so deeply knows - connection to self, connection to nature, connection to land, connection to water, connection to the unseen and more than human.

Connection to what is sacred.

Whilst we have “domesticated” or tried to domesticate our animal friends, we have not and cannot remove the sacred from them.

And this is what they are always bringing us back to - to know of and be with the sacred that we are through our sacred soul.

We love our animal friends so much because they remind us of ourselves, before we were domesticated, told what to do, what is right or wrong and rewarded for being “good” and reprimanded for being “bad.”

We love our animal friends so much because, through them, we recognise the sorrow our soul feels and how we so much want to be like them; free from the belief systems we live from.

Our animal friends do not live from the thinking mind, no matter how hard we try to make them fit in to our belief system, way, expectation or what we feel they should or should not be doing.

In this way our animal friends make us see the oppressive systems, control and belief systems placed in to us that make our soul sad, that make us long for our connection with sacred.

In this beautiful paradox, where we are trying to remove our dog from sacred, which we cannot do, all the while our animal friends know of our hurts and are asking us to return to what we know - the place of the soul and all that is sacred.

Our soul knows and longs to be with land, water, stars, butterfly and moss again. Our soul longs to hear the soothing voice of river, rock, earth and starling. Our soul wants us to remember all that is sacred and our connection within this landscape that we are a part of.

Our animal friends have not left this place and invite us to it. In all the ways they show up for us, and leave their body when that time comes, it is an ask for us to look at ourselves, feel the sorrows our soul carries and return to the scared landscapes with the more than human and unseen.

Your soul knows this.

Your animal friend knows this.

Your soul longs for us and it is what you are seeking, searching, looking for.

Your animal friend can and is leading the way - in their life and their transition; all of it circumvents back to you as a message to be soul, be sacred and simply be with all of life and your animal friend in this space of knowing.

It requires us to explore our soul work.

It requires us to love without limits.

It requires us to see our animal friends beyond what the thinking mind tells us or wants to know.

It requires us to not seek answers that make sense or make the mind content.

It requires us to sit with these sacred landscapes, be in ceremony and feel who we are and all that we are a part of.

It requires us to know the source consciousness that all of life is and, ultimately, the absolute love unlimited we carry, are and receive from all that is as source consciousness.

This is what our animal friends and this is what they lead us to, in their life and their transition.

They know our souls are hurting, are longing, are wanting to be with and know of sacred again. We can never take this from them, even though it was taken from us.

And so they lead us back to remembering the sacred landscapes we are a part of, the ecology and ecosystem of life, of nature, of land, of cosmos.

They lead us back to sacred and back to soul.

They show us how we were removed from this in how we try to remove it from them.

But we cannot.

And that is what we love and long for in ourselves - to feel soul and sacred again.

And we can, we will and we are.

Allow your animal friend to show you in ther life and their transition - it is part of the same landscape of soul and sacred.

I have been in the canine wellness industry for many years.

My focus within it has always been about the dog as an individual ecosystem and the involvement a dog has within the ecosystem as a whole.

This has always led me to the soul work that our animal friends are leading us to because they do not live from the thinking mind or carry the charges, attachments, belief systems and wounds that we can and do carry.

Our animal friends continue to live from sacred, as we once knew how to, and are constantly pulling us back to living with them from this space - where we are also part of the ecological landscape and know of our bigger connection with the more than human and unseen worlds.

Our animal friends are doing fine, usually it is us who are not and they hold such wisdom, such teaching, such medicine for us to enter our soul work as we co-exist with them.

One way they powerfully do so, and a subject that is a part of their wellness that is not popularly discussed, is when they transition and how to honour their transition.

The transition of our animal friend is a continuation of their wellness as well as our soul work - both are sacred and medicine for us. Their transition blows our heart open, leading to a heart that is awake, connected and knowing. Not from a place of thinking, but a place of feeling and pulling us in to the sacred landscape of life, of transition and infinite connection with our animal friend.

Their transition and our grief is a sacred medicine path leading us to soul work and ceremony for our animal friend.

Their transition is part of their wellness as they can share with us how they wish to be honoured, held as sacred and what they would like to receive when their transition comes.

Their transition pulls us in to the landscapes of sacred, of unseen, of more than human as these are the spaces we have to venture in to so that we can continue our co-existence with them.

These subjects and are not being discussed widely when it comes to animal wellness but it is part of it.

If you would like to explore the sacred transition of your animal friend, your sacred grief and the medicine path it invites you on, then that is what I am here explore with you.
