Leah is a 2 year old Red Border Collie. When Leah was about 6 months old I realized she tired too easily and didn’t recover as quickly as expected after exercise. A visit to the vet resulted in her being diagnosed with a heart defect. There is no medication for her condition. The vet x-rayed her and gave her an ultrasound which seems to show a thickness in her chest. So we didn’t get a clear result. The latest diagnosis is ‘probably a leaking valve’.

A friend recommended natural therapies and took us to see Helen Anderson in  April 2009. Helen used Bowen Therapy and Photonic Therapy           (acupuncture using light) and did three treatments on her over a period of 6 weeks.       

She also suggested dietary changes and a number  of supplements  which we followed through with. Leah also needed to take homeopathic remedies as well, some before and after exercise, which Helen provided.

This has resulted in Leah having a better quality of life for the last year. She trains in Obedience, runs with our other dogs which we do limit.  At home she is a normal mischievous 2 year old. I am no longer worried that every time she has a run with other dogs she is going to collapse.

At New Year she even went swimming in the surf and showed no signs of distress. Leah’s condition has improved so much I no longer  feel she requires to be given any testing or treatment by the vet.

Thank you Helen for your great work. By working with Leah you have given her a greater chance to live a long and happy life with us. We know if we are sensible and diligent with her supplements, homeopathic drops and monitor her exercise she will have the great quality of life that she deserves.

I have 6 horses & 2 dogs all have their own different issues.

Helen has helped 3 of my horses & 1 of my dogs using Bowen Therapy & Homeopathic Remedies.

My dog Jedda & my Horse Josh have nervous and anxiety issues. They are  scared of thunder & fireworks and any  loud noises. Helen recommended giving them an essence remedy which has helped them deal with their issues.

Helen also used Bowen Therapy on my three horses, Josh, Chloe & Moscow.  Moscow has had recurring problems with stifle lock & chronic arthritis. He was having difficulties just walking from A to B and was very depressed.

Helen used Bowen & Homeopathic remedies on him and he is doing great now walking nicely once again.  Chloe had a pinched nerve down the back of her leg & always seemed to collapse. She also had Bowen Therapy and  after a couple of treatments she  improved and is also doing well now.  Josh had a few problems  both with his stifle and a  recurring sore back.  Helen worked on Josh 3 or 4 times and Josh has not had a problem since. We also looked at a proper saddle to enable me to ride him once again as he had improved so much. Keep up the good work Helen thanks for everything you have done. You have been my life saver for my animals. I was at the end of my rope  and didn't know what to do… then I found Helen thank you so much for all your help.

Bella was around 6 months old when she became part of the Rankin family.  A couple of months prior our Brown Burmese cat, Demi, passed away from lymphatic cancer leaving her 7 year old companion behind ( Damascus , also Brown Burmese).  After Demi passed away Damascus pined for her.  He became clingy, pummelling our clothes when we picked him up and cried for hours on end.  We finally decided to get him another companion to help with his grief.  Bella had been dumped on the street as a kitten and a breeder had taken her in and was looking for a home for her.  We were told that she had runny eyes and this may have been why she was dumped.  When we met Bella we were surprised at her sunny personality and playful ways.  It seemed she had never been mistreated as she was so trusting.  We gave her L-lysine supplements for her eyes but they continued to run and before long she was sneezing with green mucus coming out of her nose.  We were advised by our local vet to put Cortisone drops in her eyes as they were inflamed but after our experiences with Demi and her cat flu, we decided to try homeopathic medicine.  Helen advised us to try Euphrasia and Allicum Cepa drops for Bella.  After we worked out the correct dosage Bella's eyes improved with the redness reducing significantly and her nose was no longer infected.  Every few days we still need to clean her eyes (they run) but we redose her if they become inflamed again and they continue to improve.  Helen has also helped us with changing the cats' diet (eg at times we add parsley to their food as this helps the eyes and adds vitamin C to assist the immune system).  She has also explained the meaning of key ingredients that manufacturers use in pet food so we are more vigilent with the food we feed our cats.  We are grateful for all her help.

Before I started Primrose  on the essence remedies suggested by Helen , she was a very insecure dog.  Primrose competes in obedience and her heeling was not good and she appeared worried in the ring ,now since February 2011, after 6 months of using the remedies regularly at first but now more intermittment, she has gained her CCD and CD titles with 1 first and 2 2nd places and one score of 95. Her GWT has improved also with only one more pass to put her in open.

From a dog that struggled with simple CCD stays she is now getting the hang of out of sight stays and getting less worried all the time.

So we are now in open with the big guys and hopefully that title won't be too far away.

Ned as we call him was an ex race horse that did not have the speed at the track. When we got him, he was quite edgy and very sore through the back and hindquarters in particular. He had passed through a number of people before he arrived  with us, so we were never really sure what he may have experienced or what problems he really had.  

We asked Helen to assess him and see if there was a chance to improve his behaviour and health. Helen recommended essences to help with his adjustment to the change in his role and circumstances. She also identified key pain points and stress patterns in his body using Bowen and Kinesiology and after 3-4 treatments, Ned certainly improved.  Helen also suggested some Arnica, a homoeopathic remedy to help with recovery from muscle soreness and pain.  She also showed us some stretching and acupressure techniques to help with overall flexibility and wellbeing. With the reduction in soreness and the use of the essences, Ned’s anxiety reduced and he was much more trusting in our day to day handling of him.  

Today some months on, Ned is a different horse; he looks well, is more engaging and has a new interest in life! We have a new found appreciation for the use of natural and holistic therapies Thank you Helen.

Buffy was 15 weeks old when she first came home and was the second female King Charles Spaniel in the house.  Buffy was very quiet as a puppy and would only interact with me, she would not play with the other dog or my husband and daughter. She would sit in the corner of a room most of the time and would nod her head back and forth. We could not teach her to do anything at all, she wouldn’t even go for a walk on a lead and was too frightened to interact with people and dogs generally. 

After spending several hundreds of dollars with vets and numerous trainers, Buffy was still no better. Our vet recommended us to another vet who specialised in behavioural disorders. He diagnosed her with genetic anxiety and prescribed Prozac and Inderal for her. He also advised that if this did not work she would have to be put down. The medications helped slightly, but I felt it was not good for her long term and it was a constant worry.  I was reading my obedience newsletter and saw Helen’s add which gave me hope. I rang Helen and from the empathy she showed to our situation and her enthusiasm to help, I decided to make an appointment for her to see Buffy. When Helen came to see Buffy I knew that I had made the right decision, Helen genuinely wanted to help.  After a number of Bowen Therapy treatments, and with the use of Kinesiology and specifically tailored essences, Buffy showed significant improvement. Today Buffy is drug free, walks on lead, interacts with the family and other dogs and copes very well with normal life. On top of this we now have three King Charles Spaniels and Buffy has fully accepted and adjusted to the new pup. Helen, thank you for your commitment to giving Buffy a better life without you she would still only be living half a life!

Romy has been treated and managed by Helen for about a year now with Bowen Therapy. He previously suffered severe back and neck soreness even though the saddle had been fitted and he had regular chiropractic sessions. 

Bowen Therapy has meant that we have been able to continue to enjoy riding him , knowing that he is pain free thus allowing my 13yr old daughter to learn and compete at a high level in dressage. Before we started the Bowen Therapy we were about to retire him as we just could not get him right no matter what we tried. 

Helen’s intuitiveness with Romy allows her to understand what it is he requires in a treatment. Recently he has been on flower essence remedies to help with his anxious nature and within a couple of days my daughters and I had noticed a calmer sweeter horse.  We also have 4 other horses that we compete with in dressage and through the use of Bowen Therapy and  Homeopathy and even Kinesiology , we have been able to see sustained improvements in our horses health and performance. 

Thank you so much Helen.

My black whippet Tommy had been competing in Flyball for 10 months before I met Helen. Tommy was very enthusiastic about the sport; however he had issues with concentrating on the job at hand – often running over to the dog in the opposing lane and racing back on the wrong side of the course! Several methods for preventing this had proved unsuccessful and I seriously thought his Flyball career would be short-lived.

Helen was sensitive, caring and empathetic while she assessed Tommy. She proposed a program of massage and acupressure to help with Tommy’s focus. The program is simple - and very relaxing and pleasurable for both of us!

Since Helen’s recent visit, Tommy has competed in two competitions and has not put a paw wrong! He is relaxed and much more focused in the ring and has just achieved his “Australian Flyball Dog Champion” title!. Thank you Helen.

I have a very beloved pet Duck (known as Ducky) who was trampled by a 35kg dog in my backyard.         The next day I noticed some drastic changes in her stools so I took her to her specialist avian vet. She was put on medication for a serious bacterial infection, however I was concerned that the vet could not offer much to treat the internal bleeding we suspected from the trampling.              I work with a Reiki Master who assured me that Reiki could help stop the internal bleeding, so I contacted Helen who works solely with animals.  

Helen performed 4 sessions of distance Reiki for Ducky, which I feel kept her calmer and also gave us some clues as to where the bleeding might be coming from. Helen was also able to give me insight into how Ducky was feeling, and she even managed to describe Ducky’s personality even though all treatments were done by distance!
 
A blood test by the vet showed that Ducky’s red blood cells were improving, which suggested the internal bleeding had stopped.  However the vet was still very concerned about some other test results, so I agreed to have Ducky put under anaesthesia to investigate further. I rang Helen and asked her to do an emergency Reiki session for Ducky, and she gladly obliged.  Ducks don’t tolerate anaesthesia very well, and I believe the Reiki Helen performed for Ducky helped her through the procedure.
 
The exploratory biopsy and x-ray showed an egg that was stuck in the wrong area. This meant Ducky would require serious surgery 2 days later in order to save her life.  Helen agreed to do some more distance Reiki for Ducky prior to her surgery and again on a daily basis until we both felt she was recovered.  At the time Helen was very busy working but she made time to treat Ducky even if it was late at night, and I am very grateful for her dedication.  The vet gave Ducky a 50/50 chance of surviving the surgery, and then there would be risks associated with her post-operative recovery.  I’m pleased to say that Ducky did very well during her surgery, especially since as soon as the vet opened her up they found numerous large masses inside her abdomen.  The surgery went for 40 minutes and all the masses and the egg were removed (quite a procedure for a little duck!).  The vet seemed quite amazed at how well Ducky did with her surgery, and the fact that she was standing and walking around again only 20 minutes after major surgery!  I attribute this to Helen’s Reiki and lots of positive thinking and love.
 
I am very grateful to Helen for all her Reiki work with Ducky.  I believe it made a huge difference to Ducky’s ability to heal, cope with surgery, and make a full recovery.  I would gladly recommend Helen to anyone who wants a natural way to help their pet.

Molly was running around the paddock one day with my other 2 horses and had an accident where she damaged the muscles that hold the shoulder to the body as well as the nerve to that area. When it first happened Molly could not walk on all four legs she was hopping and dragging the front leg. It looked at first as if she had popped her shoulder out as the swelling had hidden the collapsed muscle.  I originally arranged for a chiropractor to see Molly. The chiropractor said that her shoulder was a little out, but the muscle tear and nerve paralysis was the worse he had ever seen and that I should be kind to her and put her down.

At the time I also had a vet examine Molly and he confirmed that she had "sweeny shoulder" and also believed it was best to put her down. He said that whilst she was not in pain she would never walk properly again let alone trot or canter.  I decided to look into what sweeny shoulder was and get a second opinion.  Sweeney shoulder is caused through a trauma to the suprascapular nerve that supplies the major muscles around the shoulder. When this nerve is damaged which was the case with Molly the muscles around the shoulder started to waste away, so much so that you could put the whole of your hand behind her shoulder blade! Her movement was greatly impaired.  In liaising with another vet he indicated the prognosis was varied, but if Molly was to improve she needed lots of rest and time and this may take a few years.  5 months had passed and Molly finally started to put pressure on the leg, which was a good sign however her whole body was aching because of having to compensate. She was sore and starting to get cranky, wanting to bit & kick. There was still major muscle wastage and I was concerned about what to do next to help Molly.

It was at this stage I heard about Helen and her work with Bowen Therapy and decided to try this modality with Molly. Helen worked with Molly over a period of 10months, treatments were fortnightly in the early stages but as Molly started to improve the treatments were less frequent. Molly was starting to do her own rehabilitation, she was keener to move around and engaging with the other horses, she was also in less pain.  Now 18months after the initial injury, Molly is walking so much better and she is even trotting and cantering, which is so pleasing to see. Her condition has greatly improved, her muscle bulk and strength has improved, her demeanour and outlook on life and interaction with the other horses back to normal. She is now only recovering from a contracted heel. The vet also believes that I may be able to ride Molly within the next 12months; her improvement has been so amazing.

What I have realised is that natural therapies certainly have something to offer our beloved horses. I am so glad that I found Helen and tried Bowen Therapy and that Molly is an active part of my life once again.

On the 10^th December 2010 , my dog Riley all of a sudden was very wobbly on his hind legs and then very quickly he had no movement at all, it was if he was completely paralysed from the waist down. I rushed to my vet and then to the specialist hospital to have Riley diagnosed with Invertebral Disc Disease –he was hospitalised and on morphine & cortisone with the surgical team recommending spinal surgery at a cost of $8,000 plus $2000for MRI and other scans. 

The only way Riley could walk was to put a towel under him and lift his back legs off the ground to allow him to move around on his front legs. He would not eat and was depressed. I could not afford the surgery therefore the only option was to proceed with complete rest and cortisone treatment. 

After a week, Riley was no better. My vet suggested continued care at home but believed his prognosis was not good. Riley cold not use his back legs to walk and was also incontinent. I was desperate to help my dog and my cousin told me to try Bowen Therapy and after some phone calls came across Helen.  Helen first saw Riley on the 17^th December, one week after his injury and his first day at home from the vets. Helen recommended a course of three  homeopathic remedies and Schleussler biochemic mineral tissues salts  that I needed to give to Riley regularly.  By the third day ( 20^th Dec) , I could not believe it as that  morning , Riley was standing on all 4 legs, wobbly, but standing! ..my early Christmas present.  From then on, I knew that things would improve. Helen visited us weekly, over a period of a month and Riley received Bowen Therapy along with homeopathic, mineral tissue salts  and essence remedies remedies and some stretching and strengthening exercises. 

Riley kept improving , even my vet could not believe the rate of recovery. The Bowen treatments were further apart and by the 8^th week post injury, Riley was moving around much better and was starting to trot and run around the backyard. His incontinence had improved greatly, his mood and expression much better and now some months on , he is very much back to his normal self with no incontinence , except he has not got full function of his tail when wagging as he used to. But for a dog whose life looked like ending, where he is now is simply amazing. I thank Helen for giving Riley the opportunity to walk again and would recommend homeopathy and Bowen Therapy .

I just wanted to thank you for all your help and advise regards my Mums old Shetland Sheepdog, Desi.  As you will recall Desi is 10 years old and has bad Arthritis in her hind legs, she lives in Brisbane with my mother and is her constant companion.  Mum had tried all sorts of things to help her, but was having no luck with conventional drugs etc., I suggested we give you a call and the results have been wonderful.  Along with the Kinesiology ( which I admit I was very sceptical about given that you were not working on Desi but via a person surrogate), and the subsequent change in diet and homeopathic remedies, Desi is a much happier dog.  The arthritis has not gone, but she is managing better, and once she is up and going, she skips along quite well, considering all she did was hobble before!  One amazing thing you picked up with the Kinesiology was the fact she was very melancholy, something I remarked to Mum about as she always looked so sad, yet you never saw or meet Desi in person.  The other interesting thing was when you told me the day and time you had done the Kinesiology balance this was the same day  that we noticed the change in her both physically and emotionally , yet we did not know this at the time …. I cannot account for the change in Desi to any other intervention on that day or around that time.  Desi is much happier and the melancholy gone …..maybe its because she is in less pain, I don’t know, but she certainly is a happier and more physically able dog and it is now some months since the Kinesiology treatment and changes to her diet and use of homeopathics, yet the improvements have been maintained.  Again many many thanks for your help, Desi will be around for a few more years yet, of that I am sure.

We have been breeding and showing the beautiful and rare Korats cats under the Doklao prefix since 1994.  Our Korat household comprises of three breeding queens (Lilyput, BB and Tia) a stud male (Yindee) a retired spay (Bella) and a vesectomised British Blue boy  Micky.

We sought Helen’s help in particular to improve show behaviour, the management of reproductive problems and in maintaining a more harmonious multi cat household. BB is outgoing and playful but in a cat show situation she tends to be very shy and timid. 

In a show situation Lilyput would hide and grumble and would refuse to show herself when  placed on the judging table where as Tia would lap up all the accolades and attention but would quickly get bored and become fidgety and more vocal. 

Helen used Bowen, Kinesiology and specific individual essences that she made up for each of the girls. We noticed that there was a marked improvement in their show behaviour and we had some excellent successes in the show ring including a Best in Show for Lilyput at the   “No Frills Show” in September 2008. We also approached Helen to seek advice on supporting remedies to treat Lilyput’s pyometra and BB’s aversion to mating. BB is now a confident mother of five healthy kittens born November 2008 and is happily sharing the mothering role with Tia. Lilyput has made a good recovery from the pyometra and we are hopeful that she will also soon also be a mother again.

Helen has worked on a number of my horses and I think the work she does is amazing.

I live in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, north of Brisbane ; Helen lives in Sydney ; yet my horses have improved as a result of her kinesiology work being done at a distance. My older horse Dallas is now much better in his gait since Helen worked on him—so much so that I have invested in some boots for him so that I can get him out doing more trail rides. Up until then, I felt that he was too sore in the sacrum area to do more than very short walks. But now that I see him galloping around the paddocks again I’ve decided he can get back into some more extended trail rides.

My younger horse Finnegan has been traumatised by an incident in the forest which affected him physically, emotionally and mentally.  Helen did lots of kinesiology work on him and recommended homeopathic and flower remedies.  His knee returned to its normal size and he gradually let go of many of his new found fears.  Helen’s work also balanced him physically and I was amazed at how much she picked up that was going on for him physically.  A stifle problem has considerably improved.

It’s amazing but it works!

Helen treated my dog Cindy, a 12 yr old miniature schnauzer who had a back problem with pain in the left leg. Cindy would often be grumpy, withdrawn and was increasingly reluctant to go for walks. I had been to the vet to try and look at ways to alleviate the pain and improve mobility. Cindy had been on anti-inflammatories, with little improvement.  After this initial improvement there was then further deterioration and I had to make the decision as to whether I would consider some complementary approaches.  

Helen came to see Cindy in our home. She assessed her gait, muscle tone and movement. She also asked me about her lifestyle and her role in the family. Helen discussed Cindy’s diet and the significance of Cindy’s routines in terms of general wellbeing and coping with the ageing process. Following on from the initial assessment and discussion about Cindy, Helen then used both Bowen Therapy and Kinesiology to help with the physical and emotional problems. Within 24-48hrs after the treatment, Cindy was brighter and more willing to engage with the family and Casey, our other miniature schnauzer.  She was also able to go for a brisk walk which she really enjoyed. It is now three months since Helen treated Cindy and she has maintained the improvement and is no longer on anti-inflammatories. Friends of the family have been amazed at Cindy’s improvement.  

Helens depth of knowledge, her ability to relate to animals and understand them and to pinpoint the key problems and issues that need to be addressed has been invaluable. I would highly recommend Helen and her services to anyone whose pet is a priority in their lives.

Thanks so much for the Bowen and Kinesiology Balance  you gave Jake, my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, he is much more agile and active and flowing with his movements , even after one treatment . This is especially noticeable  when I take him to the park,  he just runs for his life. I have changed his diet as you suggested and he is much healthier and starting to loose weight. The essences have also helped greatly. Thanks for giving my doggie a new lease of life, he is much more agile, and is a lot happier in himself.

I live with 3 Border Collies, one show and 2 working.

Helen has helped me with all 3 dogs for the past 12 months.

Fly is 10 and has always had issues with noises/thunderstorms and travelling in the car.

After one treatment of homeopathic medication, Fly was not as sensitive to storms and is not getting as worried when travelling either.

Sprite is 6 and has jealousy issues with one of my other dogs, and with Helen’s help this has lessoned and Sprite is more relaxed and a happier and more loving dog.

Jaidee is 2 and is not a confident fella, he has had a lot trouble with our tiled flooring at home and also eating.  Again with Helens help, Jaidee is much more confident getting around our house and he is eating all his food. Jaidee has been able to maintain this confidence after the 2 initial treatments for some months now. This new confidence is also reflected in his approach to everyday life, including agility and herding.

My dogs also get regular Bowen therapy from Helen to help maintain their very active life styles. It is always a pleasure to have Helen treat my dogs in such a professional and caring way, and the dogs always greet her with enthusiasm.

Leanne Davis, Glenorie. NSW

I have two rescue dogs, Maddie and Rupert, both cross Maltese Terriers.

Each came to me with their own special needs!!!  

Helen has helped both of them.

Maddie  -  was about 3 when she came to me and she had just had one of her back legs amputated.  It was clear from the outset that she had been badly abused because she was frightened of my feet, my hands, loud noises and lots of other day to day things.  Over four years, she had improved dramatically but has always licked a bit obsessively. About six months ago, I had a major career and lifestyle change.  Not long after, I noticed that Maddie was almost constantly licking anything that was in reach of her tongue. I contacted Helen who, with the help of Kinesiology, prepared a flower essence remedy.  Some of the essences within the remedy were for issues that had not occurred to me to mention to Helen.  After two bottles of the remedy, Maddie has improved significantly.  She is now better than she has ever been since living with me.

Rupert  -  was about 4 when he joined my household.  On his first visit to the vet, she warned me I would have problems with him because he loves dancing on his back legs.  Within a year, she was treating him for back pain.  It got so bad, he had to be hospitalised for a few days which upset him (and my bank balance). After he was released from hospital, I was given analgesics to treat his pain but they made him sick and the nausea made his back problem worse. He was soon in a cycle of almost constant pain. I was told I would have to gaol him in a small dog cage for a week at a time but this seemed an awful punishment for a dog who loves to dance, run and play as much as possible. Helen treated Rupert with Bowen Therapy with significant improvement.  Since then, he has only had one minor flare up ..... What can he expect when he eats something found deep in the undergrowth of the local park!!

My 10yr old Golden Retriever, Topaz after two broken toe injuries suffers from arthritis in her feet complicated by a bone spur on one toe. She started to limp now and again and this would get worse under different situations.  

For pain management and to assist with her overall mobility, I opted for alternative therapy rather than continual use of anti-inflammatory medication. Helen assessed and treated Topaz with Bowen. 

Before long there was a notable improvement, once again Topaz was eager to go for her daily walks. Today we continue with a maintenance program of Bowen Therapy and this continues to sustain improvements that have been gained with her mobility.

  Kym Hogan, Douglas Park NSW 

I have two Aussie Shepherds with totally different issues. My male is a worrier, if I was around he had to be with me. If I went through a gate he had to come too. He was okay left in his Kennel run when I went to work. My bitch was a butterfly with very little concentration levels, a little anxiety.  I contacted Helen at Animal Equilibrium and through the application of her therapies she has certainly helped my special companions. The behavioural issues with both dogs have certainly improved.

Jasper is a 10yr old Maltese Terrier cross who suffered a soft tissue injury after an active game of ball.  Jasper was not keen to bear weight through his left front leg and clearly was experiencing some pain in the shoulder region.  Helen assessed Jasper and commenced Bowen Therapy and Reiki. 

Helen worked over Jaspers body with small movements.  Improvement was evident after the first treatment with more willingness to take weight on his left leg. After the third treatment, Jasper was moving freely. Not only was he weight bearing on all four legs but his overall movement and muscle tone seemed improved. 

Jasper has returned to being an active member of the family.

Lydia Roberts, Penrith NSW  

I want to say thanks for all your assistance with Grace. As you understand she is a nervous, noise phobic border collie. I have to say that the essences that you have given have helped very much indeed. After the first lot I noticed a big difference in her, such as kids playing cricket where we were training. Normally this would drive her to sit under the pedals in the car. But now she can sit out and watch the other dogs working. On another occasion there were some boys playing soccer and shouting, again, usually she would be back in the car under the pedals. I took my eyes off her and when I looked for her she was over playing with the boys- the noise and activity had not deterred her in any way.   For her this was a hugh step forward, how good is that? She started a second lot of essence, but has not needed them. So many thanks again.

Judy Rogers, Nowra NSW

I needed 2 dogs to travel by aeroplane, both were competing in Agility trials  – Cricket is very noise phobic and Jak gets anxious when left by me and is also storm phobic. People suggested all sorts of drugs but I wanted something more natural, particularly as they were competing within 24 hrs of the flight. This was a good testing time as it was during the storms of early 2008. I approached Helen for her help.  She met my dogs and suggested the use of essences, homeopathics and use of acupressure. Cricket upon taking the essences showed an improvement with noises and with the repeated use displayed not much reaction to storms. Jak showed instant response and whilst he acknowledged the storm, he was not distressed. I was ecstatic. Helen showed me some acupressure points that I used on both dogs and continue to use. My dogs and I travelled happily to Adelaide and competed successfully.  Happy to talk to anyone who requires more information.

Jasper is an 18month old cross poodle. 

When I first saw Helen he was 12 months old and had chronic skin problems with red blotches and blisters along his tummy and legs. This starting occurring when he was an   8 week old puppy and whilst cortisone and antibiotics would help for a while, the itching and skin rashes always came back and worse each time. I had blood tests to try and find out what the problem was, but the vet could not provide any clear answers and other than histamine injections and cortisone to help manage the condition there were no other options. I was not happy with long term cortisone use so looked for natural therapy approaches to help my puppy.

When I met Helen she took a full inventory of Jasper’s lifestyle, his routines, what he ate, what was in his environment and other medications that he had. Using kinesiology Helen tested for allergens and the right foods for Jasper to eat and helped balance his immune system. She recommended particular diets and foods in addition to herbal remedies and vitamin supplements to help with Jaspers immune system and ridding the toxins in his body. Jasper also received Bowen Therapy and specifically lymphatic treatments again to help stimulate his immune system.   Overall Jasper had three Bowen therapy and Kinesiology treatments over a course of 6 weeks and during that time,  I followed through on the dietary and lifestyle changes in addition to the herbal and homeopathic remedies that Helen recommended. Improvement was noticeable within a month and after 3 months, Jasper skin and coat was back to normal and his itching was under control. Now 7 months on, Jasper has continued to maintain this improvement.

Noah is a 3 year old Curly Coated Retriever. When I first got Noah, he was a very out going dog who would not hesitate to approach people for a pat. Unfortunately he started to be plagued with diarrhoea. With each examination, he progressively started to withdraw from anyone who approached him with their hand held out.

2 years of consistent work resulted in him completing stand for examinations as long as the person approached him without any hesitation. 

That is anyone except his regular vet. He eventually attained his CCD obedience title in December last year. The week after he came down with gastro.

After being treated by the vet we were back to square one. This time he was a lot wiser to all of our past methods. He only trusted my immediate family and he would not let anyone else near him, even with their hands concealed. Food was not an option as this was what the vet tried to use. He would lean on me every time he saw someone approaching. If they tried to pat him, he would leap away from them. I was ready to give up when someone suggested animal equilibrium.

Helen treated him at my house and was very patient with him on her first visit. She treated him with energy coils, bowen therapy and kinesiology. She left me with some essences and massage techniques to use on him. There was improvement but not enough for him to allow a stand for examination.

Helen then tried homeopathics and a different essence and I continued with the home massage program. This was the turning point. He actually started wagging his tailing as people approached and instead of jumping away, he started jumping at the people wanting to play. With a little more training he started to stay still for stand for examinations.

He is still wary of people approaching slowly with their hands out but he is a lot easier to win over. Now all I have to do is stop him running out of the ring to get his dumbell back after the stewards take it from me and playing with the judge during the heeling pattern. He is certainly a much happier dog. Everyone is commenting as well on how well he looks and he is finally starting to fill out. His coat is also better.
