Meet the team

Alfie is a very special soul, he is intuitive, inquisitive and super affectionate. He started his life as a racehorse, then moved into eventing and now he’s happily living his best life at The Little Wellness Sanctuary amongst his mixed herd of furry friends.

Beautiful Buddy won an award in 2020 for being the longest serving pony club pony, having supported 4 families and countless children in learning to ride. He’s our trusty, best friend who loves a head rub and really loves Food!!!

Our gentle giant Roo is a big bouncy teddy bear, he’s always up for cuddles & company. His favourite things are chest and belly rubs! He also loves to sit alongside people, watching over them with his gentle, supportive presence.

Our sweet little fox red lab. Her gentle nature is always a calming presence, supporting people along their journey with kindness and love.

Our very beautiful fluff ball LOVES full body strokes, he does not like being picked up! He also loves to lay in the sunshine and will lay beside you all day for gentle affection.

Our sensitive little rescue cat Tink loves cuddles, he is wary of new faces but once he trusts you he won’t leave you alone!

Very food driven! Piglet will do anything for alfalfa pellets, she also loves a good head rub!

A little more reserved, Monty likes to offer support by watching over everyone.

Me! – Well, Where do I start? I feel like I’ve been practicing the beautiful modality of equine and animal-assisted healing my whole life. As a little girl, I was always surrounded by animals, finding peace nestled in nature and cuddling up with a fur baby. No words were needed—they listened, as long as I loved and cared for them, respecting them and ‘seeing’ them as unique beings not there ‘for me’ but ‘alongside me’.

I discovered yoga during my turbulent late teens and, after traveling the world as a scuba instructor, I undertook a one-year yoga teacher apprenticeship in 2002. Having battled anxiety and an eating disorder for many years, animals, the ocean, breathwork, and yoga became my medicine. Over the years, I have studied many modalities within the incredible art of Yoga—Yin, Vinyasa, Power Flow, Slow Flow, Breathwork, and Meditation. This knowledge and experience has shaped me both as a teacher and as a human.

In 2008, while pregnant with my fourth baby, I created Bliss from Within, a prenatal yoga DVD, followed by Baby Bliss, a baby yoga DVD. It was a privilege to offer this special resource to women all around the world to be able to access yoga, birth visualizations, and meditation in the comfort of their own homes.

As a mum to 4 wonderful humans, I have learnt a great deal from the roller-coaster of life, motherhood, and my partnership with my soul mate and life partner. Equine Assisted Learning, Breathwork, Meditation, Yin Yogassage and Yoga Therapy are all unique blends of my knowledge, training and life experience poured into nurturing practices. For the passion to share this with all who choose to seek it, I am incredibly grateful.

The Little Wellness Sanctuary is the home and heart of my offerings, a little piece of heaven in the tranquility of nature supported by the wisdom of my incredible animal team.
