MY STORY
I have been involved with animals most of my life particularly dogs and horses. I bought my first show Basset Hound in 1982 and hence the beginning of my love affair with showing, breeding, trialing and simply having fun with my dogs. Currently I have three kelpies and enjoy bushwalks, social dog activities and do the odd bit of training for canine enrichment and the sheer joy of being in the presence of my dogs.

I also along with my husband have been involved with horses in harness work for some 15years, but these days, just enjoy the pleasure of my retired horses on our property.

My work in holistic animal therapies began in 2006 following on from a career in allied health therapies and in people development across health and environmental sectors. Such experiences have been valuable in appreciating the healing connection of animals and people alike.

My journey since 2006 has extended to embrace a range of modalities that I use in an integrated way. My work has encompassed domestic and farmyard animals, and wildlife in both refuges and Zoos.

​Over a period of 15years, I was a longstanding instructor/teacher with Smart Bowen International College in the professional equine and small animal programs. These days, my efforts are predominantly in empowering animal guardians with the knowledge and skills to foster a holistic approach to the health and wellbeing of those animals in their care. Exploring ways to integrate what I have learnt and found to be powerful in facilitating healing and connection with other practitioners that wish to embrace these holistic approaches is a continual work in progress with workshops evolving as needed.
In my work  I use a combination of modalities based on a physical, emotional and mental assessment of the animal and the presenting issues.  My philosophy is to work for the wellbeing of the animal and to engage in a team approach with the owner/handler, your veterinarian, other heath care provider or animal trainer.

Animal Equilibrium does not dispense veterinary advice, diagnosis or prescriptions. Whenever a person feels that they require veterinary advice, I encourage the person to seek such advice from their veterinarian as soon as practical. There may also be  situations where I require the owner to seek veterinary attention and advice  in the first instance before a consultation with myself.

​With all of my services /consultations you as your animals caretaker , are encouraged to be an active partner by assisting in the wellness program and by learning, practicing and keeping records of your animal’s behaviour, physical responses and progress.
