Do you ever feel like you’re struggling to connect with or understand your companion animals?

Maybe there’s a behaviour or health issue that's worrying you?

You are not alone. I hear you and I am here to help.

Caring for our furry friends can be tough, even when we love them to bits. No matter how experienced or inexperienced we are.

Most people I work with have been feeling a real sense of deep frustration, sometimes embarrasment and sadness that no matter what they do, it's not quite 'hitting the spot'.

When our companion animals are dealing with fears, anxieties, behaviours or health problems, we can feel alone, helpless and guilty that somehow we're failing them or messed up somewhere along the line.

It can be overwhelming when you just want to support your beloved companions as they navigate their challenges with ease, confidence and clarity

That’s where I come in.

Together, we can explore these feelings and find ways to nurture your bond, address your companion animals' needs, and help you grow and flourish together. As a TEAM!

Seekers of Knowledge, Wisdom, and Healing
Perhaps you have a thirst for learning and a love for animals?

Would you like to help others on their healing journeys with their companion animals?

When you work with me, you’ll gain insight that will open and expand both your mind and heart.

You’ll feel more confident, excited, and empowered to tap into the innate healing potential present in ALL beings.

The Services I Offer:

My learning journey with animals
My journey with animals

Hi, I’m Rachel, and I'm here to help you create a more harmonious, enjoyable, and nourishing journey with your companion animals.

Let me share a bit about my journey so far...

I’ve been working with animals, particularly dogs since 2001 at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in London, surrounded by dogs and cats, where I discovered my passion for helping animals.

After five years at Battersea, I moved to the Cotswolds and launched a dog daycare and home-boarding business that took off!

I encountered numerous dog behaviours that sparked my desire to learn and understand them better. Little did I know I was also on a quest to get to know myself.

I studied dog behaviour with Sheila Harper and learned about the stress that dogs often experience. Realising my own dogs and cats were unhappy with the visiting dogs was a real wake-up call for me. I knew it was time for a change.

That’s when I began exploring holistic therapies to support my dogs and discovered Caroline Ingraham, the pioneer of Applied Zoopharmacognosy. I immediately knew I’d found my calling.

After completing the course, I dove in headfirst, launched my business, My Animal Matters, and started offering workshops to help others learn how their companion animals can self-medicate with plant medicine.

They say if you want to master a subject, teach it!

Every dog, cat, horse, and person I’ve worked with has inspired me to ask more questions, get more creative, and open my mind to energy, animal communication, and plant communication.

Each animal I’ve cared for, loved and supported has played vital a role in my own self-healing and learning journey.

They’ve helped me understand the symbiotic relationship we share and the importance of listening to what is reflected back to us.

Working together with our companion animals and bringing them into the conversation allows us to grow and flourish together.

Times are changing, and more people are seeking new perspectives on how to relate to their companion animals.

I’m excited to help you create lasting and profound change in your relationship with your companion animals.

Whether you want to dip your toe in or dive in headfirst, I’m here to support you on this journey.

If you're ready to explore this path together or simply have questions, I’d love to hear from you.
