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…… 🐴🐇💛

The primatologist was a "tireless advocate" for species protection, her institute says.

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! ☀️ 🌿🐇

Abbie, was an 18 year old 3/4 Welsh, 1/4 riding pony who had been at her new home just over 2 years. Prior to that she had been re-homed every couple of years and with a career as a competitive show jumper behind her, she was showing some signs of arthritis. I was told Abbie was an absolute angel who deserved to feel her best, so she was booked in for a treatment to give her some TLC and see what came up for her.

Abbie was very gentle and kind. I offered her essential oils to help transmute some unhelpful emotions she was carrying from her past. These feelings were ‘unhappiness’ from when she was 1-2 years old and ‘distress’ from when she was twelve. Both of these emotions were held in her liver and affecting her digestive and immune systems.

After clearing this stagnant energy from her liver, I recommended Abbie be given a couple of supplements to further support her digestion.

Clearing these emotions and changing the energy of the liver would also support her immune system, as the liver is a major immunological organ, containing a high concentration of various immune cells.

I muscle tested using kinesiology to check the emotions had cleared and confirmed Abbie’s immune system was no longer showing signs of stress.

During Abbie’s session whilst standing beside her and tuning in, I was shown a very vivid image in my mind’s eye of an immaculate, dark shiny horse with a white star being ridden by a petite young woman. This horse communicated that he was always around in spirit and had come through now to support Abbie with her treatment. He was a very proud horse and happy to still be overlooking the welfare of his friends since his passing. 🖤

When I let my client know of the image that came through, she knew immediately it was Arthur, and confirmed he had passed away a couple of years prior. She pulled out her phone to show me a photo Arthur, and it was the exact image he had communicated to me…. A beautifully presented, shiny dark horse with a star, being ridden by his petite young human! 🖤🤍

What an incredible insight, to know Arthur is still so close and looking after his loved ones. It was definitely a memorable treatment and I’m grateful to receive such clear and accurate communication. 🙏🩷🐴
Sending you love and cuddles in horsey heaven Arthur. Thank you🖤

I recently treated Snickers, one of the gorgeous ponies at Riding for the Disabled in Christchurch. The RDA helps people with physical, intellectual, emotional, and social challenges through their therapeutic horse riding programmes.

Snickers had been holding a lot of pain and tension in her body and wasn’t enjoying her job at all, so was having a break from work. She had been having osteopathic treatments and in addition, I was asked to see if I could find anything else which may be coming up for her.

When I began treating her, I could feel there was a large emotional component needing to be addressed. Emotional trauma tends to lock in physical pain, discomfort and eventually disease so if the emotional aspect of healing isn’t addressed, it’s unlikely physical issues will resolve completely. I gave Snickers some Bach flowers to lift her heavy feelings of apathy, gloom, helplessness, feeling resigned to suffering and existing without pleasure in life. These remedies would begin to gently shift her energy to allow a more positive state of mind. She also needed several homeopathic remedies to give her a boost and some trauma release work to support her in letting go of the trauma she was carrying from the past.

Snickers was an angel to treat. It was important to her that she be listened to going forward, as she mostly likely didn’t have that in the past. She had some beautiful big yawns to release the trauma around feeling unsafe in her body and to allow her to trust her own intuition around people and touch.

It’s not an easy job as a therapy horse, taking on the emotional struggles of those around them, whilst dutifully carrying out their work and often these horses already come from difficult backgrounds.

Christchurch RDA have 13 more of these beautiful selfless beings in their care who would all dearly love and benefit hugely from their own treatments. Enabling these horses to release their own trauma and pain so they’re able to relax and enjoy their job would make the world of difference and allow them to continue their work with a spring in their step and a twinkle in their eye!

If you’re in a position to help by sponsoring a RDA horse’s treatment or a follow up treatment for Snickers please let me know! 💫🙏💕 Any help you could offer would be gratefully accepted, even sharing this post to help get the word out would be amazing! 🙏✨

With love and gratitude on behalf of Snickers and her cute mates xx 👱🏻‍♀️🐴 🐴
