I live on a small life style block 'Waikawa Sanctuary' with my horses, ducks, dog, chickens & cats. Waikawa Sanctuary. It provides a health base where my animals can live out natural lives with in nature. I embody a holistic/naturalistic approach to animal & human health.
I grew up in a household with cats & dogs. I got my first horse at eleven. I'm a trained primary and kindergarten teacher. I enjoy Beaches, rivers and parks.
I have been walking dogs for many years, I enjoy walking long distances & find dogs good company, their antics make me smile and laugh. Animals and children generally seem to be attracted to me, not because I'm all over them, but because I'm attentive to their needs and body language. I set firm boundaries and expectations that are easy to follow, rewarding good behaviour. Allowing a positive relationship to develop built on mutual trust & respect.
