Supporting the Wellbeing of Animals  Through Their Choice

A gentle, animal-led path of wellbeing guided by instinct, presence, and the quiet wisdom within all living beings. Through the Ingraham Method of Innate Medication (IMIM) Applied Zoopharmacognosy, WEBB massage, and energy healing, I create space for animals and their guardians to return to balance, connection, and calm. Each session is a meeting point between nature, touch, and energy—an invitation to listen more deeply, to trust what is felt, and to honour the unfolding relationship between you, your animal companion and nature.

My unique approach to animal well-being

What makes my work unique is that I create space for the animal's inner knowing to emerge. Recognising that every animal carries their own story, needs, and way of being, I listen to the quiet language each animal shares through behaviour, preference, and subtle response.

Rooted in the principles of the Ingraham Method of Innate Medication (IMIM) Applied Zoopharmacognosy,  Caroline Ingraham's pioneering approach to animal wellness, my work is complemented by massage, energy healing, flower essences, and wellbeing support for guardians. Together, these offerings create a gentle, sacred space where animals are free to choose, express their needs, and simply be as they are.

This intuitive, collaborative way of working honours the animal as a whole being and invites a deeper sense of trust, understanding, and connection between animal and guardian and where communication becomes something felt, not just seen.

IMIM (Ingraham Method of Innate Medication) Applied Zoopharmacognosy For Dogs

IMIM Applied Zoopharmacognosy is a gentle, animal-led wellbeing practice that honours each dog's natural instincts and individual needs.  Dogs are offered opportunities to engage with natural materials through voluntary self-selection, allowing choice, observation, and respect to guide every session.

 Energy Healing & Communication

Energy Healing and Communication sessions offer a gentle, heart-centred space for your animal to pause and reconnect. Through quiet presence, intuitive connection, and subtle energy work, each session invites greater awareness, understanding, and a sense of harmony, while honouring the animal's own pace and individuality.

Available for all animals, whether they share our homes or our fields. Sessions can be offered both in person and remotely.

 

Cat Herb Garden and Sensory Enrichments for Small Furries

Treat your cat or small furry to a unique sensory enrichment experience that awakens their natural curiosity and instincts. A carefully selected array of dried herbs, hydrosols, and essential oils is beautifully laid out, inviting your animal to explore, sniff, roll, stretch, rub, relax, and self-select at their own pace. Includes a soothing energy healing session, creating a truly enriching experience for body, mind, and spirit.

Energetics and Communication with Flower Essences

'Paws for Healing'

Working remotely from a photograph, I intuitively connect with the energy of your animal. Using pendulum guidance, I select three flower essences to support emotional balance, harmony, and connection, while nurturing the unique bond you share.

Suitable for all animals

Whole Energy Body Balance Bodywork

I help your animal unwind with this gentle, animal-led massage. Designed to promote relaxation, comfort, and overall well-being, each session supports the body's natural restorative processes while encouraging emotional calm and balance. Guardians can also request to be shown a couple of simple techniques that they can continue to use at home to support their animal between sessions.

Witnessing the difference...

"Esme is a gentle, knowledgeable and passionate carer to both animals and humans. Her gentle ways provide a sense of trust and ease when working with her. Esme has supported our family with our elderly cat; we have seen such positive changes to our cat through the gentle and natural healing Esme has provided. We have learnt so much from Esme and the holistic approach and how this translates to the well-being of the animal and human. We would recommend Esme to anyone who is looking for an experienced and wise healer with a wealth of wisdom".

"Esme is an incredible healer. She is intuitive, gentle and supportive. She has worked with two of my dogs and demonstrated how she can address very different needs. She has a natural affinity with animals, a depth of knowledge and a wide experience that supports her approach. It was fascinating to observe how the dogs responded. She is generous with her time and advice, and I learned a huge amount from her, which helped me to manage my dog’s wellbeing. My own experience of her healing and sensory enrichment was immensely helpful when I was going through a very stressful time".

Nicola and Goldie

"At first, when we met Esme, Willow wouldn't stop barking just loud angry barks, it was as if she was shouting, it was quite upsetting to see her so distressed. ... We had to coax her out from under my chair with the dog biscuits...

Then with gentle coaxing and a soothing voice, Esme did her magic, after a few minutes Willow settled right down, and allowed Esme to gently massage her, and the change in Willow's energy was clear to see. If I hadn't been there to see it for myself, I probably wouldn't have believed that the change was possible.

Willow stayed relaxing all evening, but the best bit... She fell fast asleep in the car on the way home, totally relaxed; incredible, she is the new Dog Whisperer in town
