Holistic Care for All

Some pets need more than someone to fill their bowl and open the door.  They need calm, unhurried presence.   Someone who understands that anxiety isn't stubbornness, that a rescue dog's hesitation isn't a problem to fix, and that an elderly cat's routine is a form of medicine.

That's what Rowan's House is here for.

You're in the right place if...

        •  Your dog is anxious, reactive, or still finding their feet after rescue.

        •  Your pet needs medication, monitoring, or support through illness or recovery.

        •  You have a senior animal whose routine and comfort matter deeply to you.

        •  You have a multi-pet household with its own delicate balance.

        •  You want holistic care — not just someone to keep an eye on things.

        •  You'd like to understand your animal better and support their wellbeing at home.

        •  You've struggled to find someone you truly trust with a pet who needs more.

How I can help

Rowan's House works across three connected areas - each grounded in the same philosophy: that every animal deserves to be understood as a whole, and supported with knowledge, patience, and genuine care.

Holistic Therapies for Animals
 

I offer a range of gentle, non-invasive therapies for animals - including Animal Reiki, Rahanni healing, herbal and nutritional consultations, and holistic behaviour support. Sessions are tailored to the individual animal: their history, their nervous system, and their needs.

In-Home Pet Sitting

All Rowan's House pet care takes place in your pet's own home - not because it's convenient, but because for sensitive animals, familiar surroundings are genuinely therapeutic. Their scents, their routines, their safe corners: these things  matter, and I work with them rather than around them.

I offer specialist pet sitting for dogs, cats, and multi-pet households, with a particular focus on animals who need more than standard care - those who are elderly, medically complex, or emotionally sensitive.  In-home care is available across Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Sussex, and Kent.

Guides, Resources & Online Consultations

For pet owners who want to support their animals' wellbeing from home, I offer digital guides - including my ebook ‘Calm from the Inside Out: A Holistic Guide to Supporting Your Anxious or Rescue Dog’ - alongside online consultations and one-to-one guidance.  Whatever your situation, there’s a way for us to work together.

Qualified, experienced, and always learning

I’m Helen - holistic animal therapist, herbalist, and specialist pet carer, based in Rochford, Essex.  I hold diplomas in animal herbalism, canine behaviour, holistic animal health, and equine psychology.   I am a qualified Animal Reiki Master Teacher, which means I’m trained not only to practise, but to teach - and a Rahanni Angelic Healing Practitioner Teacher. 

I also hold human therapy qualifications, which means I can with people as well as their animals.

I am currently studying Zoopharmacognosy - the relationship between animals and plant medicine - and scent detection.   In this field, there is always more to learn, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
