WHAT INSPIRED ELIZABETH TO BECOME A HEALER? read testimonials

Elizabeth has a special interest in horses, and has been involved with them for twenty four years. She currently owns four, ranging from seven months to twenty two years of age. For many years Liz competed Wow, a Danish bred Grey gelding with The British Show Jumping Association. Wow was involved in a horrific 'near' death accident, breaking his neck in three places and a double arthroscopy in both fetlocks many years ago. With very little hope of him surviving and nothing to lose Elizabeth turned to complementary medicine.

Liz takes up the story, "Wow was involved in a horrific 'near' death accident ...

‘It was a balmy autumn evening and I decided to leave Wow out for the night rugged up in a secure paddock next to our house. In the middle of the night a freak autumn storm rose up. Frightened, Wow jumped the five-foot gate, and headed down the grassy lane and ended up in a neighbour’s swimming pool. Full of water and a canvas cover, Wow fought for his life, laden down with the weight of his own rug, saturated in water, he scrambled out of the pool and some how managed to make his way back to his field. I found him that morning in shock, his legs and throat cut and bruised. Wow had broken his neck in three places. My vets, at the time did everything they could for Wow, but he deteriorated over a period of eighteen months and seemed to lose the fight for life. It was at that point that I felt utterly helpless, and upset that I was about to lose my best friend. Wow was emotionally drained and depressed; the only comfort to him seemed to be when I instinctively placed my hands on certain areas of his body. At first he would swing his head round and guide me to areas he wanted me to work on. Gradually I began to sense for myself, feeling different sensations in my hands. Sometimes they became hot, tingling and throbbing in the most painful of areas. Sometimes cold, and if you can imagine listening to a low frequency hum, seemed to be vibrating from my hands. As I watched Wow, he would sigh and go would go into a deep-relaxed state, sometimes nod off, rest a back leg and allow his head and neck to drop slightly and relax even further. Some twenty minutes would pass, and it felt right to stop. Wow would sometimes walk away, or I intuitively felt we had done enough. It is always important to listen to your animals, and respect their wishes. At the end of a session Wow always looked me in the eye and I knew he was thanking me. I also sensed from Wow, we needed to move. He was emotionally, mentally and physically traumatised by his horrendous ordeal and I have never felt truly comfortable in that property, so we moved to Chealsfield.”

COMBINING ETHICAL TREATMENT WITH COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE

My new equine vet, Andrew Browning, also interested in holistic veterinary medicine suggested osteopathy. We arrived at the clinic for Wow’s consultation, which went superbly well and Wow cheered up enormously after his first treatment with Anthony Pusey. There, I bumped into a lady called Vanessa Leon, who was the catalyst in changing my life for ever and introduced me to healing and Linda Kay, healer, medium and my teacher from the London School of Psychic Studies. I will be forever indebted to these two wonderful women.

I took a massive leap of faith into the unknown and juggled a publishing job with years of courses, study, exams and monetary investment in zoopharmacognosy, Kinesiology and Healing, until I felt it was necessary to concentrate totally on my animal healing clinics.   Many animals required healing and it became very obvious that I wanted to study animals in greater detail to be able to help heal them.

AND WOW?

I give healing to Wow on a regular basis. He is an excellent healing recipient, and regularly enjoys our healing sessions together. Over a period of years he has made an excellent recovery. Andrew was astonished that Wow recovered from his ordeal at all, let alone jump again for one final season! Today Wow leads a full and interesting life. He loves to hack out, is a mentor to my young horse, Dancer and my filly foal Iris Moon and is a role model healing candidate when I am giving healing lectures and workshops. At twenty years of age Wow came third in a veteran showing class at Plumpton Agricultural college, and now acts as an ambassador for the Healing Animals Organisation to raise funds for animals in need. He is my greatest teacher and friend.
