It's my turn to be interviewed this time! Rebecca Hanlon from The Dog Witch: Whole Health for Healthy Behaviour and Co-founder of Atticus Academy of Animals, invited me in to have a chat about Reiki Therapy and how we can use it to benefit our pets.

She has very kindly sent me a copy of the recording and given permission for me to share it with all of you on this Podcast.

As well as being a certified animal behaviourist and trainer, I am also a L2 qualified Sekhem Reiki Therapist, working with both people and animals.

I have worked with a wide variety of animals using Reiki, including zoo animals such as Tigers, Lions and Elephants, however most commonly see horses, dog and cats.

I am joined by Rebecca Hanlon to have a chat about how you can only help someone to the level that they are wanting to be helped at.

This episode looks at how as pet guardians/ carers/ owners, we can sometimes block the path to success through our own self limiting beliefs, guilt and anxieties, and how as pet professionals we can provide help to pet owners to the best of our ability whilst recognising that we can only help someone as much as they will allow us to.

Rebecca worked in human mental health for 20 years before undertaking her qualifications in the animal industry. She is a certified, qualified and experienced canine behaviourist and is also a canine nutritional expert.

Rebecca is the co-founder of the Atticus Academy of Animals.

Her business name is The Dog Witch: Whole Health for Healthy Behaviour

Season 4! I kick off 2026 with a fresh new season of my podcast for you.

Episode 1: Fur babies vs Human Babies

I am joined by my beautiful friend Cassi to compare notes and chat about how having human babies and fur babies can be so similar and each have their own challenges.

Cassi has 2 beautiful kids aged 3 & 1 years old and I have 3 cats ages 13 and 2 years old (twins).

Throughout our regular catch ups Cassi and I often share and joke with each other about the shenanigans our babies have been up to and the challenges faced. We always find it so funny how despite us being parents to different species, how similar our stories are! And so we thought we'd get together, have a laugh and share them with you! Enjoy!

How to have a stress free Christmas with your pets, whether you have people coming to you or you are going to visit them!

some tips, advice and reminders for everyone to have an enjoyable time, especially your pets.

I love cats they are incredible little creatures!

In this episode we explore and learn more about our furry little friends from what they eat and why they need to eat meat, to their social habits, incredible sense of smell - which could actually be more accurate than a dogs in some cases, cat communication, the powers of the purr and cats in culture around the world.

There are a few behavioural/ science words that are a challenge to pronounce and so I will pop them for you here:

Facultatively social - can show both solitary and social behaviours.

Arachidonic acid - fatty acid needed to maintain skin, coat and kidney health - found in animal fat.

Vomernasal organ - Jacobson's organ.

Have you ever been embarrassed to discover that your beloved pet has fleas?

Well you are far from alone with the majority of pet owners reporting to having felt ashamed, horrified or embarrassed with the presence of fleas.

In this episode we throw this old stigma out and discuss how easy it is for our pets to come into contact with fleas. Don't panic I don't just leave you with the how - we also look at the treatments for fleas and how working with your vet can put your mind at ease.
