Today’s distance Reiki session prompted me to reflect on something that feels really important to share.

When I work with an animal during Reiki, I never go into the session looking for a particular answer. I may have been invited into that space by their human, but once the session begins, the animal is my priority — their energy, their feelings, their experience and whatever they choose to communicate with me.
And sometimes, what they share isn’t what we expect to hear. Sometimes it isn’t what we want to hear either.

There may be messages that lead to difficult conversations, uncomfortable truths or decisions that need careful thought. That isn’t always easy for the person receiving the message — or for me delivering it.

But if an animal gives me something, I will give it to you as they gave it to me. With compassion, kindness and without judgement, but I won’t soften, change or sugarcoat their message simply because another answer might feel nicer.

This is also why I choose to communicate with animals during Reiki rather than offering animal communication as a standalone service. Reiki creates a gentle space where there is no pressure to answer our questions. They have free will to simply receive the Reiki, communicate, show me something physically or emotionally, or say very little at all.

It allows the session to be about them, rather than becoming a list of questions that we as humans want answered.
I may be acting on the instruction of their human, but my responsibility within that session is to honour the animal too.

Their feelings matter. Their boundaries matter. Their perspective matters. Their voice matters.

Sometimes their truth will reassure us. Sometimes it will make us smile or cry. And sometimes it may challenge what we thought we knew.

Whatever comes through, I will always do my best to ensure their voice is heard exactly as they have chosen to share it.

Because this work isn’t about protecting the human ego or giving the answer we hoped for.

It’s about giving our animals a voice — and being willing to truly listen when they use it. 💗🐴🐾

September is here 🍂✨ and I have to admit, autumn will always have a special place in my heart. There’s something about the changing colours, cooler evenings and slower pace that feels like nature reminding us to turn inward, release what we no longer need and make space for something new. 🌳🩷

My September Reiki availability is already going quickly, so if you’ve been thinking about booking a session for yourself or one of your animals, please get in touch sooner rather than later. 🐴🐾

I’m also so excited to share that September and October bring another chapter in my own journey as I’ll be completing my Reiki Master qualification across Human, Animal & Equine Reiki. ✨

Continuing to learn, grow and deepen my practice means so much to me, but ultimately it’s about being able to offer even more to every human, horse and animal who finds their way to me and needs a little healing, support or simply a safe space to just be. 🤍

Thank you, as always, for trusting me with yourselves and your animals. Every recommendation, message, booking and kind word allows The Higher Divine Self to continue growing in the most beautiful way. 🌸

Here’s to autumn, new beginnings and the next chapter. 🍁✨

🌈 Reiki & The Rainbow Bridge 🌈
Saying goodbye to an animal we love is one of the hardest things we ever have to face. 🤍
Reiki can offer a gentle, loving space for both us and our animals as that time approaches — helping to bring comfort, calm, reassurance and peace.
Sometimes our animals are ready before we are. Reiki can help us soften the fear, guilt and sadness, allowing us to be more present and, when the time is right, give them permission to let go surrounded by love. 🐾
It isn’t about encouraging them to pass — it’s about supporting both hearts to feel a little more ready for the journey.
Because the physical goodbye isn’t the end of the bond we share. 🌈✨
They may cross the bridge, but they never leave our hearts. 💗

I think this post is an important one for me to share with discussions I have been seeing surrounding the topic💗🌳
AI has become a really useful creative tool in this modern world. For me personally when it comes to creating illustrative images and helping me bring some of the ideas in my head to life visually.
But I also want to be completely transparent about where its involvement ends.
✨ AI does not create the content, knowledge or experiences that I share.
The words, information and guidance you read come from my own learning, training, knowledge and lived experience. My posts are based on what I have learnt throughout my life, my journey with Reiki, energy work, all types of animals and equines and the experiences that have shaped the way I practice.
When I talk about my experiences, my beliefs, the way I work or the things I have learnt along the way — those are mine.
AI simply helps me illustrate them. 🎨✨
For me, there is a big difference between using technology as a creative tool and allowing it to replace the human heart, knowledge and authenticity behind a business.
And when my work is so deeply centred around connection, intuition, animals, energy and trust, maintaining that authenticity is incredibly important to me. 🐴🐾💗
So while some of the beautiful, magical imagery you see here may have had a little technological help bringing my vision to life, the heart, knowledge, experience and meaning behind it will always come from me. 🌳✨
Thank you for continuing to follow and support my journey.

Over the last few weeks I’ve had a huge increase in requests for animal communication sessions, which I’m incredibly grateful for. ❤️
It made me realise that I should explain why I don’t usually offer animal communication in isolation.
For me, Reiki and animal communication work beautifully together.
Reiki creates a calm, loving and safe energetic space where your animal can simply relax. As they feel surrounded by unconditional love, they often become more open to sharing what they want you to know. There is never any pressure, expectation or force. Every animal has complete free will and always chooses whether they wish to communicate with me or not.
The Reiki itself is always the priority. Whether your animal chooses to communicate, quietly enjoys the healing, or simply rests in the energy, they receive exactly what they need in that moment.
Throughout the session, if your animal does choose to communicate, I gently pass on any thoughts, feelings, images or messages that come through. I don’t try to make them answer specific questions, and I always respect their boundaries.
I truly believe this approach creates a deeper level of trust and often leads to more authentic, meaningful communication because it comes from a place of love rather than expectation.
Every session is unique, every animal is different, and I feel incredibly privileged whenever they choose to share a little piece of their world with me. ✨💗

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported and trusted me with their Reiki healing journey. Recently I’ve had an increase in requests from much further afield, which is absolutely amazing and something I’m incredibly grateful for. However, being a working mum alongside a full-time day job, travelling longer distances can sometimes create timing and logistical challenges, especially when requests are understandably urgent because a beloved person or animal is unwell. As much as I would love to be everywhere at once, sometimes life simply gets in the way.
This is one of the reasons I offer Distance Reiki. It is just as gentle, loving and powerful, allowing me to support you wherever you are. Included with every Distance Reiki session is a personalised write-up of everything I feel, sense and receive throughout the session, along with a little video showing my Reiki setup so you can feel part of the experience. The only thing I ask for before the session is a clear photo and the name of the person or animal—whatever the species—and I will connect from there with love and intention.

A beautiful piece written by my mentor,
teacher and someone who has done some powerful and accurate readings for my own animals. Richard is an incredible soul and such a heroic voice for our animal world

Tuning into the Animals
“Frequency & Energy”

I thought it would be useful to explain in a little more detail how connections are made with your animals passed over and to some extent alive on Earth .🌎

To start with it’s all about connecting to the animals frequency and through this with energy .

All animals even us, we all have our own frequency, it’s about tuning into that frequency like a radio through energy ..

We are all energy alive or passed over and energy with those you love and have loved is always connected, there is always and will always be a connection ..

It may be subtle or strong it may be in emotions you feel, even signs that appear around you,

Meditation is always the starting point clearing out clutter and putting one’s own thoughts aside, this includes letting go of outcome and expectations.. This can be a massive block for people starting out and learning to connect..

I talk about it all the time grounding yourself and letting go of worry and baggage is so important to connecting work .. your mind has to be clear and open to receiving…

Meditation is key here. So is acceptance and self love ❤️

Once your mind is clear it’s about centring to the specific animal . Through visualisation, through a place of love without any expectation, calling out to them, connections through happy memories and moments not sad traumatic ones .. this is key too ..

Speaking out loud to them calling them close .. words carry energy, this is so important this is your energy tuning into the frequency of that particular animal, that is your intention and there is huge power in this … It,s a manifestation you are creating in a way.

The more positive your words you use the closer they come, the more traumatised and emotional your words, feelings, the more it can feel blocked the frequency can feel in and out somewhat ..

Energy is energy.. tuning in connects your energy to theirs and thus your frequencies start to blend to the same one ..

It’s like a magnet .. 🧲 it draws you together ..

When you speak without intention or outcome and simply with love your animals feel this not as words but as a vibration that moves towards them and attracts.. it send out signals to their energy field, their blue print..

This energetic blue print between you and them that started even before you met on earth that expanded through your journeys together on earth through memories and experiences and love ..

We all have the capability to connect with our animals on a much deeper level on earth alive and passed over ..

It takes time and hard work, the hardest part for any of us is letting go of baggage and clearing our mind, life can be chaotic and busy .. I get that ..

That is why people like me who work with your animal from a grounded place where we are emotionally unconnected to your animal can often help in many situations more productively as there are no blocks and we can become the translator between you both .

For you personally, take your time, you don’t have to rush it, take your time to balance and ground yourself, find a meditation that helps you let go, don’t allow your head to be filled with the sadness of their loss or situation, invite in the positive memories and centre on how that love always felt between you ..

Understand grieving is a process and it will get easier x

They are always around you, so keep acknowledging this and when the time is right for you emotionally , they will come even closer 🌻🙏🏻❤️
