ABOUT ME - Helen - healer, animal lover and the person behind Rowan's House

I have been healing for as long as I can remember.  

Long before I trained in anything, I was drawn 

instinctively to people and animals who were 

unwell. sitting with them, placing my hands near 

them, and knowing, without quite knowing 

how that this was something I could help with.  

It was not something I learned.  It was simply 

what I was.

As a child, that meant family members on 

difficult days and animals in distress.  As I 

grew older, I sought out the formal training 

that gave shape and language to what I had 

always done naturally, from Reiki to Rahanni, and then holistic therapies for 

people.  I built a practice working with people and loved it.  But animals kept calling me 

back.  Eventually, I stopped resisting, and Rowan's House is the result.

How I work

My role in a healing session is not to decide what you or your animal needs, but to be open 

to whatever arrives.  I work as a channel, calling in the healing energy and trusting it to flow 

where it is most needed.  What comes through is not something I plan or direct.  It arrives, 

and I follow it.  I trained in both Usui Reiki and Rahanni Angelic Healing, and over years of 

practice have developed an approach that draws from both modalities, reading what is needed 

in each moment and allowing the right energy to come forward.  Reiki brings a grounding, 

steady presence, whilst Rahanni works more gently at the level of the heart.  In practice, the 

two complement each other, and I rarely draw on one without the other finding its way in.

Animals

Animals hold a particular place in my work and in my heart.  They receive healing with 

an honesty and openness that is genuinely humbling; no preconceptions, no 

performance.  They either settle into it or they move away, and both responses are real 

and valuable.  I have always been most drawn to the animals that other people find 

difficult: the anxious dog, the rescue animal carrying a history no one fully knows, the 

cat that trusts no one quickly.  I do not find these animals challenging.  I find them honest.  

They show you exactly where they are, and they respond  - often more clearly than any 

other animal - when something shifts.

Alongside energy healing, I offer specialist in-home pet sitting, with a particular focus 

on elderly, anxious, medically complex, and sensitive animals.  That side of the work 

keeps me close to animals in a practical, day-to-day way/

A few things I hold to be true

        *  Every animal is communicating, all of the time. Our job is to listen better.

        *  Healing should be offered, never imposed.  An animal who moves away from a 

              session has not failed - they have simply told us what they needed.

        *  Conventional veterinary care and complementary healing are not opposites.  They work 

             best when they work together.

        *  The connection between body, mind, and energy is real - in animals just as much as in 

              people.

        *  You do not need to understand how this energy healing works for it to work. Curiosity 

             is enough to begin.
