Horses/Dogs/Cats

Well, although I list those three I have worked on sheep, a bull, cows but they are the ones that I most get my hands on! Is your cat jealous of the new kitten? Has your horse lost a field companion or been separated from his mum too early? Is your dog feeling arthritic? Knots Elementals: Horses/Dogs/Cats

A kinesiology hair test works really well for animals as you don’t have to have them moving about while you work on their energetic field. Animals just as humans have an electrical field known as an aura that surrounds their bodies and just like us they suffer from a variety of ailments both physical and emotional but unlike us they cannot readily tell us what is wrong with them and how they are feeling.

A kinesiology test based on the chinese meridians helps identify their weak spots, gives an insight in to their emotional state, what stuff they are holding onto and often a clue as to what might have happened to them before we became their guardians. This can be really helpful and can offer real support to the animals themselves and the owners. The test will reveal which essential oil, aromatic waters, herbal preparations they respond to and from that they can have preparations made for them to help clear up physical and emotional problems.

Put a small bit of mane, tail, or coat into an envelope and I will test the hair and come back to you with my findings.

KNOTS ELEMENTALS BESPOKE SKINCARE WORKSHOP, TEDDINGTON


"As you sit arround her kitchen table, Barbara Sargent, founder of Knots Elementals, talks you through the properties of various base and essential oils. After an hour of concentrated note-talking, I attempted mixing a few drops of neroli, lemon and jojoba, and manage to create a divine-smelling shampoo. My fellow students are less smug: "Mine smells like stuffing", complains one, who has overdone the rosemary.

Indeed, home blends are fallible, but as each dose can be mixed individually, the cost of getting it wrong is tiny. Next, we are taught how to mix body moisturisers, along with all aspects of aromatherapy, such as how to create a mood or banish a skin problem. Sargent's enthusiasm is infectious, but as I trundle home with my exfoliating scrub, hand cream and few oils - all for about £21 - I wonder if I will still be mixing my own body scrub in a fortnight. However, it takes only 20 seconds to mix, so maybe I will manage.

A few weeks later, my main dilemma, apart from which oils to use, turns out to be what to do with the half-empty bottles of shop-bought products that still line my bathroom shelves.

Best bit: Sargent is a former operations director at Penhaligon's, so you are guaranteed good insider tips. And then there are the very cute glass mixing pots."
