ISSEY / Elderly rescue cat
Issey is sixteen. She has navigated kidney failure, high blood pressure, arthritis, and a series of significant life changes after having lived most of her life alone with her guardian - a new home, new human family members (including a baby!) and new animal siblings... all of them absorbed with the quiet dignity of a cat who has always known her own mind. Her guardian, M*, came to the session not in crisis, but out of love. She wanted to be sure that she was doing everything

TED / Cavalier King Charles
Ted arrived at his session on a full moon evening with a persistent ear infection, a little selective hearing, and a guardian, M*, who already cared for him with great attentiveness. He selected a number of different nutritional 'boosters' and, after some gentle opening work, settled deeply into a remedy that is known to support an animal to cope with separation anxiety. He rested his head between his paws. He took a long, slow inhalation - taking a big dose of his chosen rem

KITO / Wirehaired Fox Terrier
For some time Kito's guardian, G*, had been dealing with allergic reactions that expressed themselves through irritation and discomfort in Kito's skin. Despite careful management and a thoughtfully refined diet, the issue remained - flaring, settling, and returning again. Alongside this, there were small behavioural patterns: occasional inappropriate urination, moments of tension in a multi-dog household, and subtle signs that something beneath the surface was asking for atte

MIA / Maltese x Terrier
Mia's selections were deliberate, layered, and deeply revealing. She selected a remedy for inflammatory pain choosing first to take it from the hand rather than the saucer, a gesture of both trust and intention. She followed with a remedy that speaks to comfort, security, and a digestive system quietly feeling the weight of her anxiety. She told a very real emotional story with striking clarity. She selected a flower remedy consistently chosen by animals feeling the impact of

COCO / Domestic cat
Coco's guardian, T*, came to the session curious but open - she did not know what to expect. Her elderly cat was living with cancer and she wanted to know how best to support Coco at this phase of her life. What unfolded over the course of the afternoon was a sequence of remedy selections that told a clear and coherent story: an animal carrying the weight of significant loss, of having been passed over, of not being chosen by anyone - until she was. Every oil Coco selected wa

ROCCO / Mixed breed rescue dog
Rocco came to his session with a history written in his behaviours - a fear of people who look a certain way, a noise sensitivity, a propensity to protect himself in ways that those who loved him were working hard to understand and redirect. He spent the first part of his session in a sustained nutritive phase - spirulina, rosehips, wheatgrass, hemp seed oil - snacking on top shelf ‘boosters’. Then he worked with Orange Blossom Water, St John's Wort, German Chamomile, and fin

TEDDY / Elderly Dachshund
S* reached out because Teddy was not himself. He had been diagnosed with canine cognitive dysfunction - a condition that accounts for disorientation, restlessness and confusion in older dogs -and was on a regime of several strong allopathic medications. He was struggling. Before the session began, Vonne looked closely at Teddy's medication list. What she noticed was that drugs with opposing effects were being given at overlapping times - stimulants alongside sedatives, compou
