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 I receive your animal friend’s sacred symbol, the whole practice from start to finish is held in sacred space, blessings and ceremony. I connect with the consciousness of your animal friend, whether they are in physical body or in spirit, journey with them in the form of an animal spirit they show themselves as to the “land of sacred symbols,” as I call it, receive their soul or spirit fragrance and their symbol reveal itself to me.

I enter a prayer, a meditation, a sacred presence whilst I draw out their symbol and then colour it in, either in black and white or colour, depending on what is asked for.

Every stroke, every dot, every line, every shape is made as a prayer, a breath, an arrow of intention that holds your animal friend and their symbol as sacred, that honours the sacred design of their symbol, the geometry, codes, frequency and power of what it symbolises, holds and offers you and the willingness for your animal friend to share their special, unique, personal and sacred symbol with you.

It’s an honour to be in the presence of your animal friend in this way and to honour their sacred symbol that they willingly share with me. It’s not to be taken for granted, rushed or not respected in the right way.

If you would like to receive your animal friend's sacred symbol and know it is held in a divine space of honour, gratitude and respect for how special it is, I would love to do this for you.

Imagine if you had a complete care package for your animal friend and yourself, not for only when they transition, but after their transition and your grief.

Not a step by step guide that feels impersonal, superficial or not specific to you and your animal friend, but one that is unique, sacred, special and personal to you and them.

This is exactly what I create for you in my 1-1 offerings for your animal friend’s transition and your grief.

BUT, even better than that, is my nine module teachings that take you through all you need to know to provide your animal friend with their own unique, special, sacred and personal transition that they ask for when their transition comes, after they have transitioned and your unique and personal grief journey.

I’ve put all this together for you in my “Creating a Sacred Space for your Animal Friend’s Transition and tending to your sacred Grief” nine module teachings.

There is so much that we can offer our animal friends when their transition comes and what they would like so that their transition is unique, special and personal for them and their honouring.

There is so much our animal friends have to share and say about their transition for us to know.

There is so much that our animal friends want us to know about the connection between their transition and our grief and how to be with it.

So, if we wanted a care package that explores how to honour and make your animal friend’s transition unique, special and personal to them, what to do once they have transitioned and how to be with your grief - I have created this for you!

Today I am teaching module 6 of this offering where we are exploring how and what to do once our animal friend has transitioned, hold space in their transition journey and how to honour them in this journey.

It’s always weird to say how much I love teaching and bringing this to animal guardians - I don’t love that your animal friend will transition, but I do love giving you the tools, the teachings and experiences of how to be with this, how to make it so personal for your animal friend and how to understand what their transition and your grief really is for.

I get it, no one (or hardly anyone) wants to talk about their animal friend’s transition or when they have transitioned.

But not talking about it means we are losing out on so of their life, their longevity and our connection with them.

We can know how to prepare them and ourselves for their transition.

We can know what they would like and how to support them when they are moving to the other side of life.

We can receive, check in and be with them once they have transitioned (even if that was a looooon time ago).

In so doing, we can be with our grief a little bit, or a lot more.

There is a glorious weave between our life with our animal friend, their transition and the grief it brings that they wish for us to dance and move in.

It’s just that no one is talking about it, or mostly no one, and not in the ways we should be having these conversations and what these conversations should lead to, which is ceremony and soul work.

But you can create and be in ceremony with your animal friend’s transition.

You can be in ceremony and soul work with your scared grief.

And you can be both deeply sad yet in awe of what your animal friend offers you as sacred medicine through their transition, which is an extension of what they were offering you in life.

You can beautify their transition and see the beauty that it is whilst also feeling the deep pain.

You can be in the mess of grief whilst working with it.

There is no manual, instructions or right way for transition and grief to go - it is all and each very unique and different, it is supposed to be.

But your animal friend asks you to honour their transition as the sacred being they are and to enter your grief as the sacred work that it is - the two are not separate.

If you would like to explore the sacred transition of your animal friend, what they offer if they have already transitioned or begin to explore your sacred grief, I’m here to share with you how you can do so and all that your animal friend brings to you in this sacred path of transition and grief.

It's pinch, punch, first of the month and my next online group medicine circle for you and your animal friend will be on Friday 13th March at 7pm UK time!

You can book your place to join here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1982287985727?aff=oddtdtcreator

Expect toning, sound vibrations, channelled light language, vibrational aligning, singing and an intention of pure light and crystal frequency water consciousness being poured in to you and your animal friend for clearing, bathing and cleaning the crystal you and they are and sending this out to the grids we influence and are connected to. Our animal friends are doing their own great job at doing so, but we can support them by enhancing ourselves and giving them this space to be cleared and able to do what they need.

I look forward to being with you, with our animal friends, with the more than human and the unseen!

Would you like to receive your animal friend's sacred symbol?

The sacred symbol of your animal friend is exactly that - sacred. It is intimate, private and to be held in the deepest respect and honour.

It is why I don't usually share the sacred symbols that I receive for an animal, even though they would give animal guardians an idea of what a symbol may look like.

I am deeply grateful to Michelle Marett and her dog, Spirit, who has transitioned for giving me permission to share the sacred symbol of Spirit.

Michelle asked for a coloured version of Spirit's sacred symbol - you can also have them in black and white.

Your dog can be in their physical form or transitioned for me to receive their sacred symbol.

I open sacred space, call in the consciousness of your animal friend to welcome and be with them, then we journey to "the land of sacred symbols" where I receive the spirit fragrance of your animal friend and their sacred symbol.

If you would like to receive the sacred symbol of your animal friend, I have bookings available.

As we sit and view the sacred symbol of Spirit here, please do so with the utmost respect, honour and sacred that it is.

Grieving the transition of an animal friend isn’t tied to a timeline.

It can be recent, long ago, or something your heart already knows is coming.

The Sacred Grief Circle has been created as a gentle, supportive space for women to honour the love they shared, and still carry, for their animal friend.

I and Dr. Loudon will be there with you, holding space, offering compassionate guidance, and reminding you that your grief is valid and deeply welcome here. 🤍

These circles are co-led by Dr. Lynda Loudon - a veterinarian and end-of-life care specialist who brings both clinical understanding and heartfelt support and Dr. Isla Fishburn - a canine wellness intuitive, grief tender, soul worker, channeller, ceremonial leader and medicine teacher of sacred transition and grief who helps guardians connect with their dogs on a soul level through ceremony, spirit communication, and sacred healing.

Join me LIVE on Saturday 28th February at 7pm UK time where I will be sharing with you the sacred medicine that is your animal friend's transition and our sacred grief, what our animal friends have to share about their transition and the importance of ceremony in these turbulent spaces when transition and grief call.

When we recall how grief is an ally and the activation that your animal friend is gifting you from their transition, we can soften the edges and consider how these two challenges are also deeply sacred invitations for our soul work.

We cannot bypass grief and we cannot think ourselves out of it. The thinking mind does not know the landscape where grief resides nor the language it speaks. It is a language of soul and a landscape of sacred, that the soul knows well. To speak to both transition and grief and really meet it requires ceremony.

We know how to do ceremony. We are ceremonial beings by nature.

At the end of this live, there will be space for questions and I will also be sharing the various offerings I have for you when in this space with your animal friend, when with your grief work and when wanting to be in ceremony.

In it, I share the deep soul work our animal companions invite us into. We journey into the idea that our animal friends are not “just pets,” but sacred beings — living expressions of source consciousness — here to guide us back to ourselves.

Through stories of wolves, wildness, grief, ceremony, and the heartbreak of transition, I share how our deepest sorrow is actually our soul calling us home, the wild place that we know so well and that our animal friends are.

We talk about the layers of the human experience — the social masks, the painful shadow work, and the soul beneath it all — and how our animal companions lovingly hold up a mirror to our deepest wounds and greatest truth.

This conversation will gently challenge the way you see death, grief, love, and your own body.

It reframes the loss of a beloved animal not as something to “get over,” but as a sacred opening of the heart.

If you’ve ever felt seen by an animal in a way no human has seen you, if you’ve ever grieved a pet and wondered why it cut so deeply, if you feel a longing you can’t quite name then this episode is your invitation back to sacred ground.

Enjoy! ❤❤🐶🐶

In this profoundly moving episode, I sit down with Dr Isla Fishburn, spiritual ecologist, soul activist, and shamanic practitioner, to explore the deep soul ...

21/02/2026

Never mind Romancing the Stone, what about romancing your soul?

This is what our animal friends are leading us back to - romancing our wild soul and un-domesticating ourselves.

We are so busy trying to domesticate our animal friends, just like we have been domesticated and taught to behave, that we miss or can’t hear their message that is to un-domesticate ourselves and return to our wild soul, just like they live from and are leading us back to.

The soul can never be destroyed, controlled or tamed and it is this place of soul, of sacred that our animal friends live from. They have so much to show us and remind us of who we are and all we are connected to. It is this longing that we feel, a longing to romance our soul back to self and our connection with all that is sacred.

Our animal friends are aspects of nature consciousness, of source consciousness, and so are we. Our animal friends speak the language of our soul and what our soul recognises; one of consciousness, for they have not left this sacred ground where the soul resides and understands the language of sacred in the flight of an owl, the gust of the wind, the song of the water, the rhythm of the land and call of an ancestor. Our animal friends continue to live with the unseen landscapes of sacred whilst in the physical - to them they are not separate.

Your animal friend speaks the language that your soul recognises - that of nature, of colour, of sound, of unseen. Neither they nor your soul understand the language of your thinking mind - that of belief systems, labels, attachments, control and limitations.

Your animal friend is asking you to romance your soul and frequent this place of sacred you know so well - that of consciousness, more than human and more than physical.

They ask you to do so in the ways they show in your life and, even more powerfully so, when they transition out of physical form. Their transition and your grief is sacred medicine - a sacred act calling you back to this landscape of soul.

You cannot bypass grief. You cannot go around it but have to go through it, where we are romancing with grief, where we are romancing with soul and feeling the romance we are in of the sacred, unseen landscapes of consciousness. This is the place where grief resides. This is the place that your soul knows and where both speak the same language. Grief is an invitation for soul work and your animal friend knows and wants this for you - they want you to stop hurting and start loving at the level they feel - that of source consciousness.

To know grief, to be with grief, we have to romance it and allow it to lead us to dance with it in the landscape it resides. Grief does not speak or know the language or landscape of the thinking mind, so we cannot think our way out of grief. Grief knows the language of soul and soul knows the sacred landscape of grief - they are old friends and allies. In order to get there we have to romance our soul and allow our soul to romance our grief.

Your animal friend knows this. Whilst they have much to share about their transition, how to honour it and make it sacred, their transition is also a medicine bundle leading you to dance in the landscapes of soul, of sacred, of consciousness through your sacred grief.

Animals do speak our language and we speak theirs - the language of sacred soul and the soul work they invite us to explore so that we can un-domesticate ourselves and return to the terrain we know so well; of sacred, of soul and of infinite consciousness.

Our animal friends are messengers of consciousness speaking to our soul and asking us to step in to the sacred landscape of soul, of unseen and of more than human.

They are asking us to romance ourselves home, where love, transition and grief all sit at the same table, are given the same welcome, are held in the same light and are all seen as sacred.

Their transition is a sacred act to romance your soul home through dancing with your sacred grief and entering your soul work by visiting the landscapes of sacred - a place where they, your soul and grief reside.

Want to know more - I'm here to support you through this sacred landscape of your animal's sacred transition, your sacred grief and soul work.

I need your help!

In the ways I support you and your animal friend through their sacred transition and your sacred grief, I am deeply hearing the call to create Sacred Grief ceremonies.

Who'd be interested in attending and, if so, would it be most suitable for you for these to be held online or in person?

Whilst there is something extremely powerful about ceremonies happening in together in community in person, I realise this may not be possible given geographic location, time, finances etc.
I've held and been part of ceremonies online before and they still work in incredible ways!

So, let me know.

I will also be holding specific ceremonies to be with your sacred grief by way of sweat lodge, vision quest or fire ceremony and these will have to be in person only, but I am also curious to know who would like to attend other sacred grief ceremonies and in what form of online or in person.

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.

16/02/2026

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.
