About Me

How It All Began

My first encounter with Applied Zoopharmacognosy came when my beloved horse, Baldrick, was diagnosed with an aggressive, inoperable tumor in his respiratory tract. Vets told me there was no option but euthanasia, but Baldrick clearly had other plans. He was still galloping around his paddock, full of life, and I knew I had to find a way to support him.

That’s when I turned to Zoopharmacognosy—the practice of allowing animals to self-select botanicals for healing. With the help of an experienced practitioner, I was able to provide Baldrick with natural support, keeping him comfortable, content, and thriving for much longer than anyone expected. This experience changed everything for me. It opened my eyes to the power of nature and the incredible ability of animals to guide their own healing.

The Next Chapter

Sometime after Baldrick’s passing, I adopted my rescue dog, Bonnie. From day one, she was deeply attached to me, but also suffered from severe separation anxiety. As if that wasn’t enough, complications from her spay surgery led to five operations and months of antibiotics, leaving her immune system weakened and her body overwhelmed. When she later developed severe allergic reactions, I was determined to find another way to help her.

This led me to study under Nayana Morag (Essential Animals Academy), Neomi David (Traditional Chinese Medicine), and Rachel Knott (My Animal Matters). The knowledge I gained from these incredible teachers was life-changing, not only for Bonnie but for me as well. Through holistic nutrition, botanical self-selection, and natural therapies, I was able to restore Bonnie’s health and balance her emotional well-being.

My Mission

Today, through Hedgerow Healing, I offer a compassionate, holistic therapy service for animals of all species while supporting their guardians every step of the way.

I believe:
🌿 Animals are sentient beings who deserve respect, love, and care.
🌿 They have an innate ability to choose what they need for healing.
🌿 Holistic therapies—including botanical self-selection, acupressure, and natural nutrition—can help restore balance, release trauma, and enhance well-being.
🌿 Our emotions affect our animals. Understanding this connection is key to helping them heal.

With years of experience and a deep commitment to ongoing education, I am fully certified, insured, and dedicated to providing the highest standard of care. Whether your animal is struggling with physical discomfort, emotional distress, or simply needs support for optimal health, I am here to help.

If you’re ready to explore a natural, intuitive approach to animal well-being, I would love to work with you and your fur-family.
