Client Reviews
Mary's expertise in animal aromatherapy has been a lifesaver for my anxious pup, Max. After Mary working with her, Max's stress levels have significantly decreased and she is a much happier and calmer dog. I highly recommend Mary for her compassionate approach and effective use of essential oils.

My dog Barney who is nearly 13 was given an oil blend to help hasten the healing process after an operation to his knee. Given his age, we expected healing time to be lengthy however it was amazing to witness how quickly the surgical wound repaired itself by just applying this oil just outside the stitches twice daily for a week. The outcome definitely exceeded our expectations. We have also used a calming essential oil, and this has had the desired outcome for Barney.

It has been wonderful to work with Mary in the recovery and ongoing maintenance of my very anxious dog's health after he was diagnosed with hypothyroidism earlier this year. I particularly liked that Mary tailored the treatment to my dog during our consultation to ensure his comfort with all oils involved and explained the purpose of each. Using aromatherapy to support his medication has meant his treatment has progressed faster than expected and his anxiety is under control for regular vet trips and daily exercise which had previously been challenging. Thanks Mary!

We are new to the dog world - so when we worked with Mary, along with her training partner, Billie - it changed our world for the better. What a winning combination. Mary's gentle holistic approach with aromatherapy saw our over-hyped Springer Spaniel Alfie - calm down in a very short timeframe. Billie's training and work with Alfie (along with training us) is second to none. Just book time with them if you need help sorting behavioral problems or want improvement with your dog's wellbeing. Your life will be a lot easier I promise. We go back for sessions every now & then as Alfie develops. So worth it.
