Sometimes our greatest teachers are not in human form, but are our companion animals. Showing us unconditional love and complete devotion they can teach us so much. My dog Sophie has been a constant source of unconditonal love and joy since we adopted her from the RSPCA at 8 months old. After the shock of her mate being put down in 2004, the last few years have seen her facing major health challenges including diabetes, cancer, severe digestive issues and arthritis. Constantly she has forced me out of my comfort zone to research natural ways of treating her and helping her to enjoy quality of life. These have included energy healing such as Reiki, homeopathics, flower essences, supplements, practising my animal communication and getting rid of all processed commercial dog food from her diet, Of course, the most potent healer of all is love and she certainly gets plenty of this! I am pleased to say Sophie is enjoying a good quality life and just loves her daily Reiki treatments.


With over 13 years professional experience in human energy healing, such as Reiki, I am now pleased to offer this to all my animal friends and their carers as well.


PETS LOVE RECEIVING REIKI
- safe, natural healing connecting to universal life-force energy
- extremely, calming, soothing hands-on healing
- speeds wound recovery time dramatically
- destresses animal after shock, trauma or surgery
- unblocks energetic imbalances in animal's body and energy field
- most animals will fall into a deep sleep while receiving Reiki and/or appear 'blissed out'
- benefits continue long after the session is over


PET REIKI CONSULTATION 30mins $30


ABSENT HEALING $20
Distance is no problem. If you cannot comfortably bring your pet to Box Hill South on a lead or in a carrier, then I am happy to do absent healing work instead by making a telepathic heart to heart connection with your animal and channelling love, light and healing energy and whatever else is needed for your pet. All I need are basic details of your pet and the presenting issue.


FLOWER ESSENCES $15 (up to 5 essence combination)
Flower essences are a form of vibrational medicine that treat the emotional roots of problems. Most are made by energetically imprinting the vibration of the flower into pure water through the action of the sun. These are then preserved with alcohol. As animals are so close to the nature kingdom, flower essences are probably the best tool for treating their emotional imbalances. Think flower essences for such things as stress when a new member comes into the family, for attention-seeking behaviour like excessive barking, for the emotional trauma of surgery, for nervous or timid animals and for resettling after moving house Many times our companion animals also pick up and absorb their human carers' emotional distress and flower essences are a great way to clear this.


Just add a few drops of the appropriate flower essence or essence combination to the drinking water each day as prescribed.


I am also happy to mail you dosage bottles of flower essences to support absent healings or just for use by themselves. Postage and handling an additional $4 within Australia. Contact me for exact details if you require postage outside of Australia.


PET NUTRITION
Get your dog or cat off all processed pet food NOW. It is probably the greatest gift you will ever give your companion animal. Commercial pet foods are packed with lots of 'nasties' that cause untold damage to your pet's health. Don't be fooled into buying the expensive brands either, as they are all based on cheap cereal fillers to maximise profits with very little actual meat and most likely lots of fat.


For most dogs and cats a diet close to what they would eat in their wild state is the best for a long, healthy life and reduces the chances of developing degenerative diseases later in life, such as arthritis, cancer and diabetes. This means mainly raw, lean meat. A small amount of finely grated or pureed vegetables is also beneficial. Check out your supermarket shelves for specials on home brand tinned fish for humans, like sardines and pink salmon, as these can be much cheaper than the pet brands of fish!


Don't use you pet as a mobile garbage bin or plate clearer! Remeber those breakfast cereal leftovers usually contain high amounts of both salt and sugar. Most processed foods contain preservatives, artifical colours and flavours and often high amounts of fat - none of which are healthy in your pet, or us.


For cats and dogs, such as Sophie, with severe digestive disorders, then I suggest the following home cooked food that was given to me by a homeopathic vet. With no 'nasties' in it and cooked with love, it is very healthy for an animal with a weak digestive system, tastes great to them and works out costing less than commercial pet foods.For a little investment of your time, you get a whole lot of good health back from your pet, not to mention love.


RECIPE FOR HOMECOOKED PET FOOD FOR ANIMALS WITH WEAK DIGESTION
Raw lean meat, chopped or minced eg. beef, kangaroo, chicken
Brown rice, organic if possible
Mixed vegies - no name frozen mixed vegies are ok
Small amount onion and garlic - avoid if causes flatulence


Boil the brown rice until fully cooked. Meanwhile in a separate pan brown chopped onion, add minced garlic and meat and brown. Drain excess fat. Add water to bring to the boil and simmer until fully cooked, say half an hour. You may also like to add things to make a variety of flavours, such as a spoonful of tomato paste, some herbs, or black cummin, which is good for the immune system. If you see a layer of fat forming on the meat surface, allow it to cool then skim off the fat. Boil or steam the mixed vegies then lightly mash them with some of the cooking liquid. Divide rice, meat mixture and vegies evenly into freezer safe containers and use as required.


I usually have about three different varieties of home-cooked food in the freezer for Sophie that I thaw out and use as required. Gone is the fussy eater of old - now she licks the bowl clean every time and keeps going back throughout the day just to make sure she didn't leave any tiny morsel!
