I became a Reiki Master Teacher in 2006 and completed my Merisha Canine Massage certification in 2014.
Combining these gives the best of both worlds when it comes to holistic offerings.
Crystal Healing is something I added later as my love and knowledge of crystals and their benefits grew. Canine Dental Cleans are a new addition but make perfect sense. Looking after our gundogs teeth is so important and this is a stress free way to ensure they can enjoy retrieves for many years to come!
Holistic Support for your gundog
Confident Canine offers Holistic support for you and your gundog, balancing both ends of the lead!
Do you have a sensitive gundog who would benefit from balance? Reiki would be a great benefit!
Do you have an energetic gundog who can’t switch off? Both Reiki & Massage offer huge benefits.
Are you working your gundog or are they just really active? Massage will help keep them fit for function.
Want to help ensure your gundog can enjoy retrieves well into old age? Ultrasonic dental cleans keep their teeth and gums healthy which also helps support general health.
Canine Reiki & Massage
Canine Massage will help keep your gundog fit for function for many years to come. No matter if you are training for field work or just for fun ensure their body is well supported!
Merisha Massage uses deep tissue mobilisation techniques; releases muscle and soft tissue tension and enhances joint movement. Merisha Massage can be used to aid sports performance, support rehabilitation, and improve well-being. Merisha Massage is also a wonderful way to reduce the risk of injury by keeping your dog well-conditioned.
Gundogs can reap huge benefits from Reiki sessions.
Ideal for gundogs who struggle to stop/settle, who are anxious &/or reactive, are really sensitive to surroundings, people, dogs &/or being left alone. If you are unsure if it might be something for your gundog, get in touch for a chat.
Reiki benefits dogs by promoting overall well-being—calming emotions, enhancing confidence, and supporting physical healing.
Recognised by the NHS for its positive impact on humans, Reiki serves as a great tool for keeping your dog in top shape, mentally and physically.

More about Dental Cleans
Does it hurt?
Absolutely not, your dog will not even feel the ultrasonic waves during the session.
What if my dog wont settle?
If I am unable to settle your dog to comfortably and calmly accept the treatment within a few sessions, I will discuss this fully with you and if unable to continue, any payments made on account for future treatments will be refunded.
How quickly will I see a difference?
It depends on the current state of your dogs teeth when they start. A heavy plaque build up can take 10 or more treatments to see a difference. If your dog has light build up then you should notice the difference immediately.
Can any dogs teeth be done?
No. Whilst most dogs teeth can be cleaned, initially I will need to see your dogs teeth to assess their suitability for an Ultrasonic Dental Clean.
Excessive build up, swollen or sore gums etc would need referral to a veterinarian to ensure they are happy with your dogs teeth first.
Canine Pregnancy Scanning
I have been running Essex Canine Pregnancy Scanning and scanning myself for many years now so have a wealth of experience.
I have also had images of my scans featured in the book – Ultrasound for Canine Pregnancy Scanning by Catherine Stowell.
Scans are offered at our Holistic Haven venue in Purleigh.
You can also visit our Facebook Page Essex Canine Pregnancy Scanning, for more information, videos and images of scans, photos of puppies born after my scans and some good old honest reviews and extra information.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions that you might have.
- Holistic Haven venue scans are £55
More about Pregnancy Scans
When is the best time to scan?
The optimum time to scan is between 28-35 days from mating if you wish to have an idea of numbers, however any time after day 28 is fine if you just wish to have pregnancy confirmed.
Does it matter if I feed my bitch before I bring them for their scan?
No, but I’d avoid any big meals just for their comfort.
Do I need to prevent them/make them go to the toilet before their scan?
No, they may be more comfortable during the scan if they have had a wee but if they haven’t this will not affect the quality of their scan.
Can I video the scan?
No. But I do take clips throughout the scan and replay those afterwards so that can you record them on your mobile phone or tablet to keep them.
