Our journey together has been a long and connected one! I have been working with Sarah-Jane for almost a decade, since my Oriental stud went missing and have consulted her on many occasions for my pets’ health and well-being. More recently, she has taught me how the “From Trauma to Trust” programme is crucial to releasing trauma for my furrbabies. Our highly strung Oriental and Peterbald cats, our anxious, traumatised Beagle and food-aggro rescue Basset have benefited immensely from her wisdom and skills. So much so that we refer her to our kittens’ owners as our #1 choice for anything trauma or behaviour-related. Our relationship evolved into a professional one when it became MY turn. During the months following the birth of my son, my anxiety and panic disorder at its peak. SJ coached me through the darkness to find a safe space to exist in mentally. A few years later, after being retrenched twice in 18 months, Sarah-Jane helped me to take the leap to build my dream business as a freelance designer and creator… an alchemist.  Thank you SJ. I am forever grateful!

One of our rhino females had managed to get herself onto the other side of the reserve fence and was so panicked by the collective fear of being killed for her horn that she would not come back into the reserve. We decided to contact Sarah-Jane to assist us in trying to get her back inside the reserve as we did not want to anethestise her. SJ said she explained to her why it was so important that she move back through the opening in the fence into the reserve, so that she could be protected. We watched her for some ten minutes, she twitched her ears, lifted up her head almost like she had an “aha” moment, stomped the ground and did a 180 turn and trotted back inside the fence within a matter of minutes. It was incredible to watch, so gentle and non-threatening. We will definitely change the way we do things on the farm in future. Her chronic diarrhea due to micro parasites resolved within 4 days when we found rhino droppings that looked like they should again and did not have to give her antibiotics thanks to SJ.
