Calming Sprays for
Cats & Dogs

Personally hand-poured with a blend of 6 different essential oils, the Calming Spray has been developed from my own experience & research of working with over 750 animals with trauma, stress and anxiety.

Great for:

Anxious cats & dogs

Over-grooming issues

Multi-pet household stress

New visitors to the home

Fireworks & noise disturbances

Car journeys & Vet visits

Nighttime stress & anxiety

On dog walks

This essential oil-based spray helps reduce the fight-or-flight response in your animal's nervous system, giving them a sense of calm & control. Many owners have found this to be the solution to their pets' long-standing anxieties.

Can be sprayed onto blankets & bedding, & into the air during times of great stress, to calm the situation.

Leone, owner of Alfie, says:

Thank you so much for recommending the Calming Spray for Alfie's bedtime anxieties. He has stopped crying in the middle of the night, and now we can all get a good night's sleep!

Valerian Herb Pots
 

This versatile valerian pot is exclusive to Reiki & Herb and is ideal for every household with an anxious pet.

Valerian is the number one herb for helping animals with stress.

Following my own research with hundreds of Sanctuary animals.

It is recommended & safe to use daily during times of stress & perfectly safe for your animal to eat daily as & when they select.

The pot has 3 different options to choose from:

Top Off Fully Open, Fully Vented

& Semi-Vented

Known as the 'little pot of magic'

as it always delivers calm.

Animals love to roll about in a sprinkling of Valerian on their beds, which can help to reduce their anxious behaviours.

Julie Baber says:

This is a fantastic product!

My nervous dog used to bark at everything that moved, and after using the pot in the home, he is fine.

He's even good with Fireworks now & actually walked into the garden when I was watching them to be with me!

I love that it's portable too, as I can take it away with me, and would recommend anyone with an anxious animal to give

it a go.

Herbal Cat Kicker Toys &

Dog Cushions can help reduce your pet's stress & anxiety.

Cats love to grab & back kick at Catnip toys, which entice play & can help counteract boredom.

The alternative Valerian-filled toys can help your Cat relax and relieve their anxiety. 

Dog Cushions are commonly used to settle a dog's anxiety & can help with the anxious behaviour that bedtime can often bring.

 

Great for your dog's basket and can help with separation anxiety.

New designs & fabric choices for different seasons. A great choice as a gift for those special pets, or for a special occasion.

and takes it to her basket when

She wants to take a nap.

What is Applied Animal Zoopharmacognosy?

The term is a composite of the Ancient Greek words
'ZOO' = Animal  'PHARMA' = Remedy  'COGNOSY' = Knowing
 
Applied Animal Zoopharmacognosy is the study of how animals self-medicate by foraging for plants and minerals to maintain health, manage stress, or to treat or prevent disease. When extracts of herbs, aromatic waters, Aromatic Waters, Essential Oils, Clays or Macerates are offered to a stressed or sick animal, it will, in turn, self-select what it needs to heal itself. It's a technique pioneered over a 40-year period of research by its founder, Caroline Ingraham, and I have been lucky enough to train with Caroline and have now helped and treated over 750 animals, with both private clients' animals and at Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary, where I have volunteered as a Holistic Therapist and Fundraiser for the last 7 Years.

INTUITIVE REIKI HEALING FOR YOU & YOUR ANIMALS

Reiki (pronounced as ray-key) is a Japanese word which translated means ‘universal lifeforce energy’.

This energy is known as 'Chi' and is present and acts in all created matter.

 

Reiki is a healing system that is a safe, natural, and holistic way of treating many conditions, bringing about spiritual, mental and emotional wellbeing.

 

As a reiki practitioner, I have received 'reiki attunement's' from a reiki master of direct lineage, which means I have had my body's energy channels opened in a way that connects me to the universe's unlimited source of chi. In turn, I can use this unlimited access to the life force energy for my own healing, or a channel for transmitting this healing energy to others.

There are a total of 35 meridians in our systems conducting 'Chi' throughout our body. The meridians are considered to be our control system, operating at a higher level than the physical, but directly affecting it. They are used to effect changes in our chakras and energy systems.

 

As a Practitioner, I channel this life force energy through my hands to you, or your animal, to activate the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

I am an Intuitive Reiki practitioner, so I am also guided to areas that will benefit the participant the most during each session. I do this through observation, visions, colours and feelings, these can help me to see a clearer picture of what needs to be addressed.   

Following a treatment, the Reiki energy continues to work where it is needed most, releasing blocked meridians and chakras, cleansing the body of toxins and working towards a state of balance.

During this time, you, or your animal may feel emotional, or need to sleep more than usual, this is all totally normal, and I always tell my clients to be gentle with themselves,

and similarly with their animals.

Reiki as a energy healing modality is now recognised worldwide and is currently used within hospitals, health care providers and veterinary practices.

I have seen many healing outcomes using Reiki with humans and animals and it remains a constant in the work I do.
