Introduction to Working Together: Start By Building Trust

In our work together, you’ll explore a holistic and mindful approach to animal caregiving rooted in mutual respect, mindful observation, animal communication and genuine connection. My goal is to help you develop a deep understanding of your animal’s needs, behaviours, and unique nature without the pressures of traditional expectations or training to get behaviours you want from them at their expense.


My Start By Building Trust program is a five-week journey designed to establish a solid foundation for trust and partnership with your animal. Through mindfulness practices and self-awareness exercises, you’ll gain insight into your own reactions, learn to release agendas, and understand how these subtle shifts can profoundly impact your relationship.


Together, we’ll focus on:


  • Mindfulness: Learning to observe your animal with a calm and open mind, noticing their natural responses and expressions, while learning skills to help you be present with them.

  • Self-Awareness: Reflecting on the expectations and reactions that may arise in caregiving moments, and understanding how these influence the trust between you and your animal.

  • Non-Reactive Communication: Practicing ways to hold space for your animal’s natural instincts and expressions, nurturing an environment where they feel truly safe, understood, and respected.


Each session is spaced a week apart, giving you the time and support needed to integrate new skills, observe changes in your animal, and grow in self-awareness. By the end of the program, you’ll have a deeper partnership with your animal, free from expectations and built on respect, understanding, and genuine trust.


This introduction sets the stage for all our work together. If required, you can continue with additional support sessions or specific areas of focus. This foundation will allow you to approach challenges with a calm, mindful presence and a newfound perspective on your animal’s true nature and needs.


Are you ready to start building trust and connection from the ground up? I look forward to guiding you through this journey.
