Further animal health and well-being testimonials

Sporty, the Irish sport horse:
On arrival at his new home, Sporty was very shut down.  His new owner assumed at first that he was very relaxed.  However, he was behaving as a captive animal and shutting the world out.  His hair was coming out in tufts, and small black and white spots were appearing on the hairless areas.
During a few sessions of Kinesiology, incorporating Zoopharmacognosy, it was discovered that he needed simpler food, lots or linseed oil, rosehips and wheatgrass, plus some emotional support from touch therapy and essential oils.
This process really brought Sporty out of him self.  He was almost smiling once he realised he was able to communicate his needs for natural choices.  His coat became glossy and healthy, the spots dissapeared, and he literally beamed wellness!  In addition, this process helped greatly with communication in training and performance.

After a recent operation due to injury, Kinesiology and massage were brought in to his routine, as continuing with Zoopharmacognosy, to speed up the re-habilitation process.

Kolya the Collie dog:
Kolya had always been fussy when it came to drinking water, and a change of home made her even more reluctant.  On top of this her eyes were clouding over, resulting in an opertion in one of them.  Her skin was so dry and flakey that her coat was literally falling out in lumps.
Jo provided some over the phone advice regarding oil and spirulina, which she took to with great enthusiasm.  This was followed up with a visit which included a meridian balance, some touch and colour therapy, and further Zoopharmacognosy with the aromatics.  Only two days after the vist, her owner called to tell me that she was much better; very happy in herself, she was drinking and seemed to have more energy.

Merlin the Norwegian tree cat:
Merlin, fine stud cat and Champion show cat to be had a very nervous diposition around the lady cats and at shows.  He couldn't control his bowels or bladder.  In fact, he wasn't particularly in control over these areas at the best of times!  However, Merlin was very confident with all of the natural choices around him.  Jo used Kinesiology and Zoopharmacognosy to help rebalance his system, help him deal with his fears and provide him with nutrients.  Only the next day his owner told Jo that he'd produced his first normal 'movement', and was very relaxed and confident in himself.  He went to become Chapion show cat soon after!

Eva the Daschund:
Eva's owner returned from holiday to find her little dog paralysed from the hips down.  The vet assumed a slipped disk, but with an X-ray could not confirm.  However, there was a possibility that the anaesthetic could have killed, so the owner decided against this. 
The little dog already had quite a bit to contend with. At age 13, she was almost blind, and had recently taken to eating her own faeces! 
Jo worked with Zoopharmacognosy and the aromatics, discovering that Eva was desperate for a variety of natural powders, including spirulina and seaweed, plus a few different macerate and essential oils.  The owner followed instructions for the following two weeks, offering her the powders and oils every day.  Eva soon stopped eating her faeces, and began to attempt to walk,  After only a few weeks she was able to go for a slow wander around the block!

Tilly the yearling:
Tilly had a tough start in life; taken from her mother at 3 months and put into the sales.  Luckily she was bought by a rescue centre, who turned her from a bony, worm ridden and scarred foal into a healthy and happy youngster.  Jo helped with the transformation by offering Reiki, which Tilly really warmed to, and aromatics.  At a year old, it was noticed that her pelvis had become quite a bit shorter and sloped on one side.  After a session of massage and a session of Reiki, she was amazingly level behind.

Cosmic the thoroughbred:
Cosmic, the 9 year old thoroughbred had baffled vets with his very unusual lameness pattern.  He was only lame in trot; not at all in canter or walk.  In trot he was very lame - in fact pretty much all over, but worse on his right fore. 
There was no reason that the owner could pinpoint for his lameness.  The vets had done as many tests locally as possible, and now were refering it on to specialists in diabetes in horses.  They were planning to put him through starvation tests and blood tests before they could diagnose further.  Cosmic's owner wanted to try an alternative avenue first, and with the permission of her vet, invited Jo to the yard to see if she could help.
Jo worked with Cosmic for a good hour and a half, throwing all of her tool kit at him: zoopharmacognosy, Reiki, massage and kinesiology.  Cosmic chose quite a number of oils and powders, and Jo recommended that his owner bought them all to offer every day.
Two weeks later, Jo had an e-mail form Cosmic's owner to say that he was completely sound, and was over the moon!
