• What is Animal Communication? Animal Communication is the art of communicating with animals, plants or any living form through an exchange of energy. It is the natural, universal language of all living forms. Animals use it all the time to communicate and to pick up information from their environment, but it is possible to communicate with plants or any living form in that way too
Long regarded as a mystical practice, "telepathy" is now recognised to be the most natural language of all species: an innate ability shared by all that lives to connect and communicate with one another from heart to heart. Any message can be exchanged: emotions, thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, spiritual etc. The communicator can hear, see, feel or experience the messages. Animal Communication can help resolve an issue with your animal or understand a behaviour.
Animal Communication can be done in person or remotely. Everyone can do it although it requires work to gain clarity and accuracy. Marie is a trained and experienced Animal Communicator and instructor, and offers consultations as well as training in Animal Communication.
* What is Shamanic Healing? The healing that Marie practices is a marriage of 2 natural forms of healing practiced in ancient civilisations:
Reiki comes from Japan and is passed on through the attunement of the practitioner to a universal healing energy, while shamanic practices involve the aid of spiritual guides. Marie is a L2 Reiki practitioner and works with Native American traditions of spiritual healing, marrying both into a unique healing art. Just like in Animal Communication, energy healing works by tuning into the natural energetic field of the patient, but in this case healing energy is channelled in.
Sessions can be given in person or remotely, to people or animals of any age or background, or to the land, or a situation. A healing session can act on the emotional, mental and spiritual planes. Its purpose is to re-harmonise one's flow of energy towards better health and clarity.
• What is Holistic Horsemanship?
Holistic Horsemanship is a natural way of interacting with horses based on the science of ethology and the mastering of the skills of the horse whisperers. It means approaching the horse from her point of view and playing / working with her in her language, ensuring a partnership rather than submission. It is a skill that leads to a high (and rare) level of competence in horsemanship and along the way also develops skills such as emotional intelligence, social savvy, team building and authentic leadership. It builds one's confidence and creativity, promoting balance in the body and better motricity as well as developing the mind and the brain for wider perspectives and empathy. Finally, working with the horses also gives us an understanding of sustainability and harmony – within oneself and with the world. It works for people because it is about being authentic. Getting in touch with and letting shine our true selves, who know how to love what is and dance in the storms. Horses help us do that through their unique ability to connect, see our truth, then hold the space and challenge us to grow in a totally non-judgemental way, wherever we're at. It works for horses because horses relate best to authentic intentions and because we meet them as who they are. When we can accept to "just be", so can they – and the predator/prey dynamics dissolve to make space for who we just are, as people and as horses. It works as a training approach because it is based on understanding and psychology, transcending "techniques" to reveal and let grow the core beings we really are. It works because the progress is visible, and each step of the way is clearly marked, encouraging us – people and horses – to carry on walking the path. It has made and will keep on making happier, fulfilled and inspired people and horses all around the world. Marie is a qualified and experienced Holistic Horsemanship instructor and trainer offering the best quality training for people and horses.
