I have also followed my passion of working with animals physically qualifying as a Guild Certified Tellington Touch Practitioner working with dogs, cats and small pets. Here at Truessence, I work with clients and run regular workshops to help people to build better bonds of trust, love and understanding with their pets. 

I have been following a spiritual path of learning and growth for most of my life. I began my career in the creative arts as a Graphic Designer in 1989. I loved working in the corporate world and gained a lot of experience in the field of design, art direction, photography, strategy and planning. In 1996 I choose to go freelance in order to expand my knowledge and gain more experience. I now freelance to a variety of clients and thoroughly enjoy the creativity of this exciting and ever-changing field.

The call to healing has always been strong though and I was pulled in the direction of Reflexology and Meridian Therapy. I studied further, completing my international diploma in 1999. I have a very successful practice today at Truessence. I love the interaction with my clients, looking at nutrition, lifestyle and meridians while aiding them towards a healthier, happier life. Good health is ones greatest wealth!

However animals and dolphins in particular, are my greatest love and passion! I was truly fortunate to be able to swim with wild dolphins for the first time in 1999. After that I was seriously hooked and returned yearly to swim with them, finding much healing, peace and inner solace from the experience of engaging with these incredible beings on their terms and in their natural environment. I have travelled to Bermuda and the Bahamas to work with the dolphins and study further. I now run holistic healing retreats to swim with wild dolphins in Mozambique. I thoroughly enjoy facilitating the meeting between dolphins and retreat participants. Everyone comes away with a special experience of their own and finds that they are changed in some way. Our retreats include swimming with wild dolphins (following a strict code of conduct) as well as holistic healing practices including meditations, energy work, educational talks and instruction in the Dolphin Breathing Technique pioneered by myself, with the help of the dolphins.

As a child I was always talking to animals and answering myself back by saying what I thought they would say if they could. The fascinating field of telepathic animal communication had interested me for many years, so in 2005 I completed a course with Wynter Worthsthorne. I absolutely loved chatting with the animals and found I had a natural ability, the one I had been using from childhood, to talk to the animals. I started off doing communications for friends and family and built up to getting clients as people referred me on. Slowly my professional communication business was born and is something I still do to this day. Its a talent and a gift I am so honoured to have.

Please contact me today to assist you using any one or more of the modailities I love to work with at Truessence.

Slowly my professional communication business was born and is something I still do to this day. It’s a talent and a gift I am so blessed to have.

In 2008 I still felt the pull to work more with animals so I decided to continue my studies in the field of animal training and Tellington TTouch. In 2009 I completed a COAPE course in dog behaviour and training. I followed this in 2010 by completing a puppy instructor course through Canine Culture, which was so enjoyable. Working with puppies and teaching new puppy owners how to work with their little fluffy bundles is such a joy! I continued my Tellington TTouch Practitioners course and completed it in 2012, qualifying as a Level 1 Practitioner. I have since worked with many dogs, cats and even a hamster to help address behavioural, illness, injury, fear and stress related problems with much success. It is this work that I really enjoy and find the most fulfilling.

In between this varied and rather busy career, I have a relatively normal life shared with a very tolerant husband, a fox terrier cross rescue and three cats who live by the motto that while dogs have owners, cats have slaves. So, if you’d like to have a chat with me about your needs please feel free to give me a call or drop me an email. You are also most welcome to subscribe to my newsletter to get regular updates, course information and other interesting news. I look forward to meeting you![/argenta_sc_text][/argenta_sc_tabs_inner][argenta_sc_tabs_inner title=”Services” tab_id=”1626098517581-de272de5-3549″][vc_column_text]

dolphin retreats

Truessence offers facilitated holistic tours within Mozambique from the Kosi Bay border to swim with the amazing dolphins of Ponta D’Ouro. Wild, free and on their terms. We work closely with the facility in Ponta D’Ouro and enjoy a close professional relationship enabling us to provide you with a life changing experience.

The dolphins swim with us because they want to, not because they have been trained or fed to do so. They are free and wild as it should be. There are no gimmicks here, you are in their domain and if they choose to, you could be close up with one of the most intelligent beings you’ll ever meet.

It is my greatest joy to experience the absolute delight of the people who have come away with us when they encounter dolphins for the first time. They are touched so deeply by the experience and it moves them in ways that are indescribable.

It is my honour and privilege to be able to offer you the chance to see and swim with wild dolphins, on their terms, in an enchanting environment. We offer holistic healing practices, such as meditations and the awesome Dolphin Breathing Technique inspired by the dolphins. We also educate and inspire people to look after our precious environment and the ocean so we can all enjoy the gifts she yields for years to come.

Come along and join us, you may even find that part of your essence is dolphin too.

therapeutic reflexology

I qualified in 1999 and am registered with both The South Africa Reflexology Society and The Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa. I have continued my studies, which include Reflexology on the face and hands, Language of the Feet and Pet Reflexology as well as various continued professional development courses run by the International Academy of Reflexology and Meridian Therapy. I am also qualified in Auricular (Ear) Reflexology and Dien Chan Facial Reflexology, which originates from Vietnam and is the most wonderful modality.

What is Therapeutic Reflexology?

Reflexology is believed to originate from China over 5000 years ago. Pressure therapies were used to balance energy in the body and aid in self-healing.  Egyptian tombs show paintings of reflexology being practiced on individuals over 5000 years ago.

Channels of energy, called meridians, run through the body like mini highways. When these channels become congested or blocked, dis-ease and discomfort are often experienced.

Reflexology involves applying firm pressure on specific reflex points on the feet. This assists in unblocking the meridians and corresponding organs, allowing the energy to flow freely and toxins to be removed easily. This enhances both the physical and emotional functions of the body and assists in self healing and boosting of the immune system.

tellington ttouch

I am a Guild Certified Tellington TTouch Practitioner for Companion Animals – Level 2 – working with dogs and cats.

What is TTouch?

Tellington TTouch is a non-invasive “all systems” approach using bodywork and various groundwork exercises to re-educate an animal’s body at a cellular level. This positively influences behaviour, well-being, mobility and confidence. TTouch is also very effective when addressing fears, anxiety, pain and injuries. As a result, animals relax, begin thinking and learn to make better choices.

Developed by Linda Tellington-Jones, TTouch is used widely in many countries across the world by shelter assistants, dog trainers, zoos, veterinarians and pet owners. With its roots in the Feldenkrais method of Awareness Through Movement, TTouch techniques gently guide the animal through non-habitual exercises that can alter existing habitual patterns. As posture affects behaviour, many owners note that unwanted behaviour diminishes as posture improves. TTouch blends well with other modalities and training methods.


dog
 training

I have always loved animals. I grew up in a house filled with every kind of domestic animal imaginable from dogs and cats to hamsters, birds and rabbits. I was invariably the one finding and rescuing unwanted kittens and puppies.

My interest in dog training started as a child while assisting my father in training our three Dobermans. I found the relationship that was built between us and the dogs truly inspiring and something that came naturally to me. We worked with respect and trust, building a solid foundation for learning to occur.

I keep up to date with the latest training methodology and techniques by attending courses and trainings as well as through extensive reading and research. I believe that you can never know it all. I have assisted at a number of puppy schools and thoroughly enjoy seeing owners and their puppies develop a bond while learning and having fun together.

animal communication

Have you ever looked at your cat or horse and wondered what on earth they were thinking? Have you ever noticed your dog looking at you with great intensity and wishing that just for a moment you spoke dog? We’ve all these moments, especially when our furry friend is sick, afraid or exhibiting some kind of undesirable behaviour.

This is where animal communication can be so valuable.

How does it work?

By sitting quietly I enter into a place of silence and peace, I then connect telepathically to the soul, the energy or essence of your pet and ask for permission to engage with them. All communications are done with the greatest respect for the animal, their soul choice and with their blessing. Nothing is forced and if they don’t want to communicate just then, I will try again at another time.

In this space of pure unconditional love and acceptance a number of questions can be asked to address the problems or concerns the owner is having. The answers come in the form of pictures, feelings, smells and tastes. Whatever is communicated to me I will send to you unedited, so you can get a true understanding of what is going on with your best friend in order to find solutions. This can increase trust and bonding between an owner and their precious animal friend.

If you wish to have a communication done please email me.

A big thank you to Michelle, Arnie and all the staff for the memorable days spent with you all. Thanks too for all the “little extras” that took so much thought, time and care; and made the stay something special. The work you are all doing there is so worthwhile and Ill definitely be telling my friends to put your trip on their “reach for a break” agendas!
– Les Ambler

By the time I left, I knew that something in my life had changed irrevocably. I havent quite figured out exactly what has changed but I do know that I will never be able to do my life in quite the same way as I did before I arrived. I left with my heart wide open, filled with love and gratitude. Thank you!
