Past and present experiences
Animals find certain situations difficult to cope with, leaving them feeling mentally, emotionally as well as physically out of balance. Adapting to a new home, losing a companion or recovering from an injury or illness are typical examples of when an animal will feel confused and often frightened. Traumatic experiences from the past may leave painful memories that continue to influence the animal throughout its life.
Alternatively there could be something in the animal's immediate environment that it finds disturbing and unable to deal with. Whatever the reason, animals deal with stress in a variety of ways.

Our responsibility to watch for signs of stress
We all want our animals to be healthy and enjoy life. As humans, we can make choices as to how we deal with the stresses and strains in our lives. However, this isn't so easy for animals and therefore it becomes our responsibility to watch for the signs of stress and help them overcome it in the best way possible.
How can Lindsy help you and your animals?
Drawing on her understanding of animal behavioural science and the physiological responses to stress, Lindsy helps her clients understand the reasons why their animal is going through a difficult time. From here, she offers advice on how to deal with this stress in a positive and compassionate way.
Although she is happy to consult as a behaviourist alone, Lindsy knows, through 20 years of experience, the benefit that 'healing' has on the animals she works with. Healing is known to support animals through times of stress and increases the recovery rate of sickness and injury. You can see from the testimonials written by her clients that animals clearly gain from it.
Lindsy also teaches her clients additional relaxation techniques in particular, The Springer Technique, which she originally developed to help her own animals. She now offers the basic relaxation technique to her clients so they can work with their animals at home, this is a simple and non invasive way of working and most animals love it
