I honestly found it hard to express in words on here how beautiful Simba’s energy and messages were. But I know that anyone reading this will also see what I saw and felt. A brilliant being who was sooo loved and gave so much love. I know you feel it in your body, in your heart. That’s Simba. That’s animal communication at its purest.
Living. In spirit. The connection is the same.
As an animal communicator I deeply feel and see the information coming to me from the animal I’m connected to. And it’s often very emotional. Not in a bad way. In a way that brings new wisdom and healing into my own soul too. I’m a different person after every animal I connect with.
It’s a privilege to be able to hold the space between you and your animals. No matter how young or old.
Simba’s mums honoured every moment together with their best boy. Presence. That’s it. Together. Love.
Comment with a ❤️and a 🌟 if you also feel this beautiful boy in your heart.

It’s a milestone day for me today as the My Animal Matters botanicals shop has been supporting our animal companions for a decade!!!!!

So wild! And not random timing that right at this moment I am having a new shop website built to make it more user friendly and a space to learn about the botanicals and the offerings.

Thankyou for sharing in my journey and I’m excited to see what happens next.

You’re always welcome to message me personally for recommendations.

Love, Rachel and Darcy (my pointer co-pilot)

Darcy also wants to add to enjoy the process. This isn’t always about BIG dramatic changes. It’s the soft, subtle often quieter shifts that happen beneath the surface when we create that space to offer and witness that matters the most.

How does your dance style match your dogs? Is there a natural and effortless rhythm you both dance to, or does it feel like you’re being hauled around the dance floor? Or vice versa?

A dog attack at a dog show and how rose hydrosol helped that dog release the shock/trauma with such ease.
This is a clip from episode 20 of unruly by nature.
Do you carry aromatics around with you and if not, maybe you’re now wondering if you could?

Rose is such a powerful aromatic ally especially for reducing adrenaline, helping release shock and trauma. I’d never be without it.

I can still feel her today. I can still connect with her and sense her energy. Even though she died 16 years ago. The love, the emotions, the memories, the stories, they’re part of me and her. I see her when I look at my current girl Darcy. As everything I do now is because of Sophie. I didn’t do things wrong then. I just was where I was in my journey. The guilt I carried for years has gone. It’s healed. Because of all the conversations I’ve had with her since. All the mind expanding and mind blowing messages I’ve passed on from animals in spirit to their grieving people, from living animals about how they’re experiencing life, the love, the messy painful feelings they’ve shared together. It’s the glue. All of it is part of life with these beings. These intelligent sovereign honest funny kind strong beings we get to share life with.
Every session I hold carries something of sophie in it. Because she was the first one who told me the most important skill is to listen.
So I’m here. Listening. Witnessing with you. Sharing for you.
If you’d like me to be that bridge for you and your best friend, save this, share it, dm me when you’re ready.

Last night I grabbed a bubble bath from the corner shop. In the bath I thought “this smells so familiar” but couldn’t quite place it.
Went to sleep then in the early hours I dreamt of my grandparents who are both in spirit. My gran used to bathe me as a kid using the exact same scent. All those emotions and memories came flooding through while my thinking mind was resting.
Our sense of smell is a POWERFUL bridge. It’s the only sense that bypasses the thalamus and travels directly to the amygdala, the emotional centre of the brain. No filter. Straight into memory. Straight into feeling.
I messaged my mum in the morning and told her I’d been dreaming of her parents.
She said, “ I was just thinking of you when your message arrived.” Of course she was.
Because we’re ALWAYS connected. To everything. To our loved ones, living and in spirit, our ancestors, our animals, the rest of nature, the stars…I could go on. But our mad busy lives distract us away from being in that grounded deep connected centre and it can take work, practice to remember how to be there.
Scent is one of the best ways to get there. Like in a time machine. Boom, right there. No thinking needed. And this is where we meet our animals. In that space. And this is exactly why I bring scent in my 1:1 Intuitive Mentorship. Because before we can truly hear our animals, before we can access that quieter, deeper way of listening, we need to come home to our own body first.
Scent does is effortlessly by bypassing the thinking mind completely and drops you straight into your senses. Into presence. Into the exact state where intuitive communication becomes possible.
If you’re curious about developing your own intuitive connection with your animal, that’s exactly what we explore together in my mentorship.

We’re excellent at doubting ourselves and second guessing with our big old human brains.
But the conversation that’s happening between us and our animals doesn’t require more analysis, it requires an open curious mind and heart.
Sidney’s experience of what they were witnessing was both enlightening and freeing for all parties. Some of it they just needed confirmation from him on what they’d been feeling and other pieces were surprising and enlightening.
But the biggest and best bit is that feeling heard, the sense of relief and pressure release in that relationship is huge. It’s like a very painful tight pair of shoes have been taken off and everything can relax and love more naturally and freely. Often behaviours will change after a communication session because we have learnt something new and might do something we’ve not done before and the relationship has changed. There is more flexibility, more connection and more understanding. Both ways! And that is felt! Less pressure, more peace and a new way of seeing.
Life isn’t always easy navigating through the ebbs and flows. But know that it is a partnership. Teamwork. They have opinions. Perspectives and ideas that we’ve not come to yet that can help us in our way.
A true best friend.

We think we take our dogs for a walk. But this gorgeous dog I communicated with had a completely different story.
When her mum came to me saying her girl had separation anxiety, her dog rejected that label immediately. She wasn’t anxious. She had a job to do and that job was getting her mum out of the house, to get her into nature, into playtime, into connecting with each other.
So many animals are doing this deliberately. They’re not just passengers in our lives. They’re partners who are also invested in helping us live a good life
Does your dog do this?
