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,

Tonight is the first full moon of 2026.

She is the Wolf Moon.

She asks us to lean in and listen inward to remind ourselves that community is sacred; to remind us of sacred and this sacred life.

This Wolf Moon calls us back to ourselves and the parts that we learned to keep quiet and to now voice them in sacred community. This Wolf Moon is potent for those wanting to tend, lick, share and speak of the grief they walk.

This Wolf Moon and what she offers is perfect for me to share that something sacred is coming for sacred animal guardians - the village!

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.

A space where we give attention to transition and grief.
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 for you to hear your name be called to come and join the village.

You gave so much to your animal friend.
You are still connected with them.
But you don’t know how to reach out to them or who to reach out to.

You don't know where to go to feel supported in ceremony, connection, soul work, ritual, healing and more with your animal friend’s transition.

Without overwhelm. Without doing it all alone.

The village is welcoming you and calling your name…

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.

If your heart feels the pull to join this community and village, drop a ❤ in the comments and I’ll reach out privately with details about how to join the village!

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

22/12/2025

Our animal friends are source consciousness, or expressions of it - as are we. Yet, they have not been pulled off this terrain of communion with sacred and more than human - it is still familiar and usual to them - in fact, how we exist, operate and live life from is very alien and peculiar to them.

Our animal friends arrive to us as divine sources of light, of higher awareness that hold no conditions, consciously or unconsciously, as well as no attachments, identities or belief systems. They come as pure love without limits and without how things should be or want them to be.

Our animal friends in every way are emitting this love without limits to us - not only so that we feel and know of this level of love, but that we can give it to ourselves to enter our soul work for all the times we have been oppressed, controlled, persecuted, hurt, shamed and blamed. Our animal friends are leading us to our soul work, our movement to reunite with source consciousness and how our animal friends so cleverly are inviting us to do so by emitting to us what we carry in ourselves and project on to them.

This also includes how the transition of your animal friend is an extension of them offering you to enter your soul work. It is the transition of your animal friend and your grief that I also know I am here to teach in a medicine way.

Over this year I have observed an even bigger rise and almost panicked urgency in "how to get your animal to live longer" and, whilst we should always be striving to learn and better our understanding of longevity, I also see how this not only creates more panic and blame in an animal guardian but moves our attention even further away from the inevitable, which is our animal friend's transition.

Even though we may think we are in charge and control of our animal friend's life, we have no say when it is their time to transition and equally in saving their life. There is something much deeper going on.

I am also aware that so many animal guardians, who for many are already leading stressful lives and not feeling good enough about themselves, are adding extra torment and stress to themselves because of this sense of conditioned urgency, need, panic and focus to get their animal friend to live as long as possible. This is not the focus here. Besides, what is the real panic and need to make your dog live as long as possible? After all, to them they are living from a place of continued soul span that is infinite.

As we move our already negligent and minor attention further away from transition by putting all our focus on getting our animal friend to live as long as possible, we are then even more shell shocked and move further away from our soul work when their transition comes and we have no idea of how to be with it.

But, there is another way. A way to walk in gratitude and grace with the life of your animal friend and also their transition. This is the medicine way.

As I go deeper in to sacred, ceremony, soul consciousness, soul work and conversing with the unseen and as I connect more and more with the soul consciousness or spirit consciousness of an animal, I realise this is my life's path and dedication to you - an animal guardian.

As I deepen my own connection and ability to channel the consciousness of animals and other beings of source consciousness, converse with spirit and continue doing my own soul work I realise this is my soul calling for animal guardians - to lead you on to the medicine path with your animal friend.

The life of you and your animal friend is sacred. Through it, they are showing you in every way to love yourself without limits, explore your soul work and exist with them from source consciousness. Here you can truly understand and receive their wisdom and how very different life is for them by living from soul.

When their transition comes it is to be honoured, as is your grief, in a medicine way. Both are sacred.

This is why as I focus my teachings more on the medicine path of soul work with your animal friend, I will also be sharing more about the medicine path of sacred transition and sacred grief of your animal friend through ceremony.

This is a dance I am on, a weave, a spin that is my life long commitment as I go deeper in to this work and way of existing so that I can support you and your animal friend in living from soul consciousness with them in their life and transition.

For now, I'm nestling down for a well earned rest and space away from all electrical equipment and technology! I'll be playing in the darkness with the unseen, conversing with spirit, connecting with soul consciousness and deepening my own return to source consciousness.

I wish you all a magical space of knowing the light you are, allowing this light to return to you and seeing your animal friends as the already fully illuminated light beings they are and how they are asking you to shine brightly with them.

The truth is, you never were or did anything wrong in the first place and neither are your animal friends. Neither of you do not need to be any different to have love and feel worth.

In love, light and medicine blessings to you and your animal friend on this medicine path we are on with them and because of them.

21/12/2025

Remember on this winter solstice and the returning of the light that your animal friend is a light being, a fully illuminated soul of source consciousness divine that is reminding you to return fully to your light - your source of consciousness divine.

Our animal friends walk with us as way showers and light bearers emitting to us the oppressive, persecuted, controlling griefs we carry and how we are to give light to these.

Our animal friends exist in the realms of source consciousness, which is a different state of existence and experience than the human realm. All that shows up for us through them is their message of light beaming in to our soul to illuminate us back to existing and experiencing from source, from more than human and more than physical.

This is the message they have for us is every way.

See their light.

Feel your light.

Know that you are both light.

As we turn to welcome the return of the light outside of us, turn within and welcome the light inside of you - fully.

See your animal friend as a fully illuminated being of source consciousness and, through them, see yourself as a fully illuminated being of source consciousness.

This is where to begin with co-existing with our animal friends and the soul work they are shining light on for us to see.

Join me online this Saturday 20th December for my last online journeying circle of 2025!

Come and explore the sacred and unseen world you live with and allllll that they hold for you to support you in this life's journey.

Our animal friends share that we need to believe in fairytales because we are one and this is the medicine place and path they are bringing us back on...but it also takes your commitment!

There are many ways to explore your soul work, some deep and intense spaces, and some more shallow and short but still a space to receive powerfully and get a sense of how, who and what sacred and unseen is, how and what it reveals to you.

My online journeying circle is one of those more shallow and short spaces for you to experience soul connection and entering sacred with the more than human world.

You don't have to know anything about journeying or have done it before to attend!

It is for you:

💚 If you simply want to try something new as a way to relax and rest your nervous system, your mind, your body and cellular health.

🧡 If you want to explore how shamanic drumming and journeying can support a physical challenge your body may be carrying.

🩷 If you wish to be in community and be in circle with others.

🌟 If you are wanting to deepen your connection and contact with soul, unseen and sacred.

Ultimately, journeying circle is a space to meet, explore, be with and connect to the unseen, more than physical and invisible realm we are a part of to receive guidance, advice, support, care, information, blessings, healings and more from our allies here.

If you want to explore and experience what journeying is, how you receive and how it is for you, then we look forward to welcoming you in to the circle.

If you’d like to attend you can book your space in the circle here:

Would you like to experience being in a sacred space and ceremony with your animal friend's transition at home?

Our animal friend is sacred and so is their transition.

One of the ways that I work with an animal guardian and their animal friend when it comes to transition and grief is through creating a scared ceremonial space before, during and after an animal friend has transitioned.

This is usually offered when the animal is in their home when transitioning, but they do not have to be. It also is usually when the vet is offering an at home service for end of life, but it does not have to be.

Before I come to your home, I will sit with the soul consciousness of your animal friend to explore a sacred transition ceremony and what they would like to welcome for this by way of the ceremony, their honouring, information for you and anything for them. I will then come to your home and create sacred space before entering a ceremony with you and your animal friend. We will be in this space until the vet arrives, I will hold space whilst the vet is there and we will continue once the vet has left.

To support you and your animal friend in their transition can be powerfully felt, softened and eased through ceremony and it is so often the very thing that is needed but not included.

I had the absolute honour and pleasure in being with Effie and her guardian on the day Effie was to transition and the beauty of holding that was felt, created and made to support Effie and her guardian in ceremony and sacred.

It was even more special for me that I had known Effie since a young dog and supported her and her guardian in the early days of their relationship.

In a space that is one of the most hardest experiences an animal guardian has to face, I am honoured, blessed and excited to hold this space with you and for you and your animal friend to feel and be in ceremony for their transition.

If this speaks to you and you would like to know more, please reach out and I will look forward to sharing more with you.

Today I am teaching session 2 of Creating Ceremony & Sacred Space for Your Animal Friend’s Transition.

Your animal friend is sacred.

Their transition is sacred.

Your grief is sacred.

Their transition is a medicine path leading you to sacred, through their transition and your sacred grief - not just from their transition but from all the griefs your heart has experienced in ways you know and do not know.

Through their sacred transition your animal friend is opening your heart and is asking you to keep it open to enter your soul work and make contact with soul, with sacred.

This requires ceremony.

Your animal friend’s transition requires ceremony.

Their transition is to be honoured as sacred and be held in ceremony. To do so creates a shift in reality, what you know is real and to feel the medicine that a ceremony brings to you as you honour your animal friend.

Their transition is a medicine path for you that can only be felt and realised when you are with your animal friend’s transition in a medicine way. In a way that is sacred and ceremony.

It is the ceremony that carries you on to and along this medicine path.

It is the ceremony that allows you to meet sacred.

It is the ceremony that honours your animal friend, where you can make contact with soul, with spirit and with source consciousness of all that your animal friend is and your continuation with them in this way.

It is never an end but to feel this we must enter the medicine path that our animal friend is asking us to venture on to when their transition comes or has come.

All of this and more is what my Creating Ceremony & Sacred Space for Your Animal Friend’s Transition offers you.

Your animal friend does not fear their transition or need their life to be saved.

They continue to view themselves as alive when out of body and indeed welcome their transition when it has come.

What they wish for their transition to teach us is not only to not fear it, but see it in the beauty they see it and how, through it, they are leading us deeply in to our own soul work, fears and contact with sacred to bring us back in to source consciousness, both like them and with them.

Our animal friends are sacred and so is their transition. They ask for their transition to be held in a sacred way and for us to go on a journey with this to make contact with sacred, contact with our own soul and enter this sacred path their transition and our grief takes us on.

What would you ask or wish to know about your animal friend’s transition to beinf you in to ceremony, sacred and soul consciousness?

What’s soooo special about this wall?

One aspect of co-existing with our sacred animal friends that I love to explore, share and teach an animal guardian is how their animal friend’s transition is sacred, how our grief is sacred and how both require ceremony as an invitation to our deep soul work.

You see, our sacred animal friends are expressions of source consciousness, as are we by the way, that have not left the field of source consciousness and how they exist in life and their transition.

They have so much to share, not only about who they are and alllll they are connected to, but also about their transition, what they have to share about and how it is for them! They see their transition in a very different way to how most of us guardians do and it is this that I also love to teach, share and explore to the guardian.

One way I do so is through a more intimate 1-1 sacred transition ceremony.

So…back to the wall…

In a recent sacred transition ceremony for an animal that is moving towards coming out of their body (to our animal friends they do not need to be in a body to be alive) we explored what the consciousness of this animal wanted to share about thier transition, how to be honoured, what ceremony to have and what they wished to share to their guardian.

I never know what is to be shared in the session until I am in it and that is why I also never say I specialise in a particular area (such as past life, trauma etc) because I am lead by what is shared in the session, rather than going in with a particular focus.

I trust what I receive and in this way I don’t have a commonality of what I receive.

In this dog’s sacred transition ceremony they showed me a landscape that was a really long wall stretching far with rugged and moorland landscape. The dog shared that they did not need to be buried or have ashes scattered here but that this would be a place for the guardian to come to and connect, think of and call on their spirit.

The guardian shared this photo and asked if this was the wall!

It sure was!

It so happens to be one of their favourite walks together!

I don’t often get a request with a specific landscape in a sacred transition ceremony, I receive what the soul consciousness of the animal wishes to speak to the soul consciousness of their guardian.

Each one is different and each one always teaches me more about who our animal friends are and what they have to teach us about how life and their transition is, how they would like to be honoured as sacred in life and their transition and what they share to the guardian to support give support for when they are no longer in body.

Our animal friends are sacred, so is their transition and so is our grief.

How to be with these in a sacred way requires ceremony and that is what our animal friends are asking us to do, both for them and also our own soul work leading us to source consciousness with our animal friends - in this life and in their transition.

Did you know that one of my published books, How the Canine People Helped the Humans Return to Ceremony won a silver award for the 2025 Nautilus Book Awards!

It is one of my two books that make great gifts the whole year round, the other one called Tunkasila's Teachings: Wisdom from the Canine Soul, Medicine for the Human Heart.

It would mean so much to me to have your support and consider either or both of these books as Christmas Gifts for loved ones that enjoy all things canine, animal, magical, mystery and soul.

Manitou and Lelou love story time in our house, especially the one that is about the canine people helping the humans return to ceremony.

It is a medicine story, one for you to enjoy and connect to the imaginal, but one that is also very real and with a message and meaning behind it!

02/12/2025

Your animal friend is source consciousness and they are excited to remind you of this and to remind you that you are also source consciousness.

They know you are bigger than your mind, bigger than what you think, believe, expect or would like to hear. They do not wish to, want to or speak to your mind, the desires it has or the oppressed, biased and prejudiced projections it has and tells you.

Your animal friend is not here to say or share what you wish to hear so that it makes you feel nice, good, pleased or accepted - you already are these things.

Your animal friend does not define itself, we do that. Your animal friend does not confine itself to the animal we say it is. They continue to exist in the expansion of infinite existence with all that exists, in the more than human and more than physical world; they remember all they have been, they are connected with spirit and all the beings in the invisible, imaginable and unseen realms and have conversations with them.

They ARE these things - from intergalactic beings, star nations, mythological beings, spirit animals and more they are in your life as a spirit ancestor that invites you to remember all that you are beyond your human skin and to rejoin this place of soul existence and source consciousness whilst in your body so that you can experience life from your soul and how your animal friend is speaking to your soul.

It is to your soul they speak to as they continue to see all that you are beyond the identities you are given or give yourself, beyond the identity you give your animal friend. They do not care about your identity and they wish for you to go deeper and access all that you are, they are and all that life is.

They see life in a very different and come to teach us this, including their transition, and how it is an exciting experience for all of us. They come to teach us all their wisdom that speaks to our soul so that we can remind ourselves of the source consciousness we also are and how to strip everything else away and live from this place.

Our animal friends hold this wisdom of soul and source consciousness and they never left it - they ask you to return to this space of source too.

Are you curious to know more from your animal friend and their consciousness?

I am so excited to be teaching my first session of a nine session offering all about your sacred animal friend, their sacred transition and your sacred grief.

It’s called Creating Ceremony and Sacred Space for your Animal Friend’s Transition and is a shamanic initiation in itself, which is what transition and grief invite us to step in to.

Our animal friends are perfect expressions of a shaman. They have not left their connection with soul, with ceremony, with source consciousness, with spirit and with transition. This is the path they are also leading you on in who they are and how they show up for you in life and also their transition.

They, too, are leading you on a shamanic path of initiation back to soul, sacred and ceremony. One powerful way they offer this is through their transition, what they share about their transition and how they ask for it to be honoured and held in a ceremony.

Transition and grief is an initiation. It is an invitation to step in to sacred and be in ceremony with it all - to be in ceremony with the transition of your animal friend, your grief and the initiation that they invite you on.

Your animal friend is your own personal shamanic mentor that knows exactly what you need and when, speaking directly to your soul. They do not care what your mind thinks, wants to know, expects or believes.

This path has nothing to do with the mind but everything to do with the soul - it is a personal sacred soul journey that your animal friend wants for you and knows excatly when and how to activate it through this initiation that comes from their transition.

Their transition IS a shamanic initiation, a shamanic death for you and all that you thought to be possible, real and allowed.

Their transition and your initiation invites you on to the path of the unknown, of sacred, of soul and source consciousness, beyond anything and everything you thought possible or what your mind tells you is true or real.

To offer this wisdom to you, their wisdom of your animal friend, I too am called, have deeply explored and continue to deeply be committed to this shamanic path of initiation in every way I am supposed to that allows me to lead you to your own shamanic path of initiation through transition and grief in to sacred, ceremony and soul with your animal friend.
