Dear Friend,

Hello and welcome to my website. I offer hands-on and distant energy healing; Spiritual Healing (NFSH student member) Reiki and specialist Equine Reiki, Animal Communication, Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL), Animal Bereavement healing - for humans and animals, Flower Essence Therapy, Zoopharmacognosy and Horse Gentling. Over the past few years, my work with animals has grown and evolved into something that no longer fits any one existing label. Working with and caring for our own herd of 11 liberated horses as well as our resident goats, dogs and cats has given me extremely valuable insight into interspecies communication, emotions, health, behaviour and non-human communities. My work is my passion and my passion is my work.

'Alternative' or 'complimentary' therapies, including Reiki, Spiritual Healing and energy work are often turned to as 'the last resort' often when other orthodox or traditional medical treatments have failed. As healers we are often called in at the last moment or when almost all hope has been lost. Although healing can and does so often help at these times, it does not have to be this way - you don't have to wait until things get that serious to try healing. All physical and emotional problems manifest themselves after the problem or issue has existed within the energy-field of the human or animal for some time. Healing can work both preventatively and correctively. However, if we can clear, re-balance and re-charge that energy-field before problems get worse (become emotional and/or physical or increase in their severity) then we are working with healing in the most positive and potentially effective way.

If you are interested in healing for yourself, your horse or pet please contact me in confidence.

I look forward to hearing from you soon and wish you and your loved ones - two legged and four - the very best of health, peace and happiness!

With healing wishes,

Emma Dinnage, Equine Reiki Master, HEAL cert.

P.S. I'd like to invite you to watch the trailer below of The Path of the Horse. A beautiful and powerful documentary made by Stormy May which explores the future of horse-human relationships. The contributers and teachers include Linda Kohanov, Mark Rashid, Alexander Nevzorov, Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling, Caroline Resnick and Kim McElroy. This film has opened the gate to many who have always felt in their hearts that the horse-human bond is far deeper and more profound than we may have previously been led to believe...

The Path of the Horse

"...Horses and humans have been involved with each other for a very, very long time. The relationship between the two species stretches far back into the history books, works of art, film and literature, spiritual and religious texts, cave paintings, myth, legend and the mists of time.

Horses have courageously carried the human race into bloody battle and war, ploughed our fields and brought in the harvest, pulled heavy loads and carried us over hostile terrain in order that the we could settle in different parts of the world. They have selflessly shared with us their intelligence, bravery, stamina, beauty, strength and unconditional love. They have lived for us and they have died for us- and in many different ways still continue to do so today.

The time has come to re-visit our relationship with the Equine nation; to honour them, to hear them and to offer them healing. They return our offering ten-fold; bestowing upon us gifts of wisdom, healing and insight. The horses invite you into the heart of the herd- where truth, peace and love abide and where you are reminded that you already have all the wisdom and answers to your questions within your own heart, you just needed the horses to lead you there..."

  Emma Dinnage, Excerpt from Heart of the Herd's Diary 2008 

"Meeting Emma has been a life changing experience for me. Emma's wisdom, guidance and amazing ability to connect with horses and humans alike has enriched my relationship with my horse and my relationship with myself in a way I only dreamed possible. Thank you Emma and thank you to your wonderful horses."

Jackie, Hampshire.

"The first time I spoke to Emma about distance healing I was very sceptical. I believed in healing itself as I had great success with previous horses, but distance healing? How can someone's energy be so strong that distance does not play a role any more?"..."The improvement I saw in Nautica the next morning made my heart jump for joy!"

This healing for horses and other animals which obviously we must not leave out, is useful for the resolving of traumas that may have previously occurred especially in rescue or rescued animals and horses, goats, pony or ponies and dogs and cats as well as many other animals that we love and keep as pets in our homes. Also offered is the very important service of animal bereavement that many of us need after the loss of a loved animal whether this is a household pet such as a dog or cat or the loss of a horse that has in many cases been a virtually lifelong friend and teacher. All animal owners fear the loss of a pet or friend and sometimes it is the impending loss that is actually the worst aspect of having a loving relationship with an animal.
