Equine & Rider Reviews

Emma McRae

“I contacted Sara after struggling with confidence when jumping. Sara has helped me so much to gain the confidence and trust to jump more! I would recommend her to anyone who is struggling and wanting to find the enjoyment in what is supposed to be fun!” 

Kathryn Anderson

“I contacted Sara to see if she could help my ponies, who have had a difficult time in the past. I was very cynical and asked lots of questions. What can I say — not in the least bit cynical now, having seen the change in not one, but both ponies.

My gelding especially has had a traumatic past and, after one session, for the first time ever he lay down and slept that night. He is now more relaxed, has stopped bad habits through stress, and is able to focus on his work and enjoy life. Cannot thank Sara enough for all she has done.” 

Linda Jeffrey

“After a traumatic fall off my horse over a year ago, I was finding it difficult to get back on her. Combined with some behavioural problems, including being nervous in the stable, I came across Sara on Facebook and started to follow her and read about all the horses and people she had helped.

I decided to take the plunge and invested in the package, initially focusing on Rose. Watching Rose during the first session was amazing and she really relaxed and settled in the stable.

Fast forward quite a few months and, after finding a fantastic instructor, it was time to get back on board. I contacted Sara and we arranged a session for me before my lesson. I was very nervous about getting back on Rose, but as soon as I was on I felt great and couldn’t stop smiling. I can honestly say that Sara’s sessions have changed both myself and Rose and given me my confidence back. I would definitely recommend her sessions.” 

Amanda Goldie

“I have worked with Sara for a few years now. I first contacted her for help with a very difficult Thoroughbred mare who had multiple issues. I was rather sceptical but had reached a point where I was willing to try anything! The difference after every session was noticeable and the mare’s whole attitude to life completely changed for the better.

I now use Sara for everything horse and human. She has been invaluable when competing for keeping both ponies and riders relaxed, stress-free and able to enjoy going to a show. I know we would not have had the success we have had without Sara’s help. Thank you.” 

Louisa Milne Home

“We are always looking for ways to get the best out of the horses, and Sara has been a great addition to the team.

We have worked with a real range of horses at different ages and stages, and they have all really benefited — whether helping new horses settle in and become easier to work with, or supporting partnership building and trust at home, in the school, hacking, or at shows and training.

If you would like help with your own confidence or your horse’s confidence, Sara is so helpful and positive — just what is needed.”

Julie Smith — Travel

“I recently used Sara for 4 remote sessions with my horse who had become difficult and anxious to travel. Within the 4 sessions my mare was a lot more relaxed and settled in the horsebox.

Sara puts you at ease the moment you speak to her and explained the whole process. It was great to work with someone who is so dedicated to her profession.

Thank you so much Sara.” 


Children & Families Reviews

Lucy Haggart

“Sara is working miracles with our 9-year-old daughter who suffers with separation anxiety. Sara has taken so much time talking and listening to me regarding her issues.

I have never had Reiki before, never mind remote Reiki, but omg it’s incredible and our daughter has already made so many positive changes.

I also love the fact that we are helping her and she doesn’t know anything about it, so all these positive changes she is making are helping her improve her confidence at the same time. Thanks so much Sara x” 

Vicky Reid

“Sara is amazing. She has done a block session with my teenage daughter who’d taken a confidence knock. The difference in her ability to cope in stressful situations since starting the sessions is incredible.

Sara is so kind and keeps in regular contact with me, which gives massive peace of mind.

Would highly recommend to anyone as she’s fantastic!” 

Pamela Fraser

“I was recommended Sara by a friend to help with my daughter’s confidence, which had been so up and down. In a short space of time I can see a huge difference. She is more relaxed and focused.

Highly recommend this for anyone sitting on the fence.” 

Jen Thain

“I was recommended Sara by a few friends to help with my 9-year-old daughter and pony. I was a bit sceptical but was willing to try anything. My daughter had lost a lot of confidence and her pony was very sharp and speedy.

I booked the block for both my daughter and pony… the difference in them both is unbelievable.

My daughter’s confidence and trust is back to where it was, and the pony seems a lot more settled. Everyone around us cannot believe the difference in them both. I would 100% recommend Sara”

Pamela Nicol

“After a nasty fall that knocked my 13-year-old daughter’s confidence on her pony, we were desperate to get them both back on track.

Sara was recommended to us by a friend and after a week of home, equine and rider sessions we are making great progress. My daughter was smiling again — happiest she has been in months.

Still a way to go, but looking forward to more sessions and working with Sara and getting them both back on track and seeing what the future holds x.

Rochelle Bucknell

“Having used Sara previously for my horses, I decided to give Reiki a try for my 6-year-old boy. He is a nightmare at bedtime, stays up to all hours and won’t sleep in his own bed. If he hears me leave the room, even when sleeping, he wakes up and runs after me.

He also hates leaving the house, and I knew the return to school was going to be an issue considering he cried every morning last year for the first 9 months.

After a couple of sessions the results were amazing, and in no way is it a coincidence considering how long we’ve had issues. I honestly am shocked!

Within no time at all he’s in his own bed all night, the anxiety has massively reduced, we even made it to Asda for the first time in well over a year. The icing on the cake for me is watching him go to school with no issues. He is just like a different kid.

If you are considering Reiki for yourself, your kids, or can think of someone it would help, my advice is DO IT. You will be amazed at the results, and I couldn’t recommend anyone other than Sara who is exceptional at what she does.

Thanks Sara! On behalf of me and Ellis x” 



Dog & Cat Reviews

Danut Lucaciu

“A true miracle for my dogs! I reached out to Sara for my dogs who had severe behavioural issues: some were extremely food-aggressive, while others were so traumatised and scared that they wouldn’t let anyone touch them.

Even though the Reiki sessions were done from a distance, the results were absolutely amazing. Sara is an extraordinarily warm, empathetic person, completely dedicated heart and soul to healing animals.

After just a few sessions, my dogs’ behaviour completely changed. They became calm, gentle and gained incredible trust.

Sara has an absolutely remarkable gift and a unique connection with animals. I recommend her from the bottom of my heart. A perfect 10/10 is not enough for what she manages to do!” 

Katie Anne

“My dog has severe travel anxiety and always has had. We have tried many behavioural methods to help, several times going back to the very beginning, and numerous calmers, but never with any significant improvement.

After a course of sessions, she has definitely improved. The panting is less, she isn’t getting colitis through stress and we are currently travelling for up to 50 minutes, whereas before she was panicking after just 5 minutes.

I never believed in Reiki and I still have no idea how it works, but it is definitely doing something! Thank you Sara!” 

Hannah Lawson

“I have been working with Sara for a while now with myself and my animals. I first came across her to help with my Labrador, who was struggling with a lot of change, a new house, dementia and deteriorating sight.

She really was a lot better with Sara’s help. Sara also suggested helping my younger dog to take the lead for her, which was a great step forward for them both.

I sadly lost my Labrador, but right until the end Sara was wonderful.

I look forward to the future knowing Sara is with us.” 

Kerry Campbell

“Absolutely amazing! I contacted Sara because my lovely black Labrador, Oscar, had started having panic attacks both in my truck and at the yard. Poor boy, he would be beside himself and completely stressed out.

Sara worked on him remotely. Oscar needed around 3 sessions and now he is happy to hop in the truck and go to the yard again.

If your horse or dog is having behaviour problems, don’t hesitate to contact Sara. You won’t regret it!” 

James Shields Dog Training at Rowan Sands

“Sara has helped us with a dog, Norma, who came to us with a wound to her face and was very wary of people in general.

Sara recommended a few sessions of Reiki for Norma. I was very sceptical and was thinking there was no way Reiki was going to help her. However, after just one session I could see a change in Norma. She was more trusting of people and was happy to learn some new skills.

After a few sessions, Norma’s wound on her face began to heal. I have been blown away by the power of Reiki after being so sceptical of it.

Sara has been amazing and very accommodating, explaining how Reiki is helping Norma and helping me understand how Reiki works.

I would HIGHLY recommend Sara. Thank you again Sara.” 

Paul Bonsey

“I’ve been taking advantage of Sara and her awesome skills within the Reiki world for some time now, and I see all you people making use of her gift with equestrian issues, all with great results, but Sara also deals with those of us with canine issues, something I’d like to highlight.

Raine, our Hungarian Vizsla, came to us as a 10-month-old rescue boy with some issues, which developed into much bigger issues.

After working with Sara, she has brought Raine into a dog that has, as weird as it sounds, learnt to learn.

After a block of sessions, we started to notice a change in our ASBO. A few more weekly one-offs and we had a somewhat normal dog.

What Sara does totally astounds me. I don’t know how she does it. All I know is whatever she does, does good for our boy.

Can’t recommend this girl highly enough. Friendly, awesome service, and it’s not just an equine skill — this girl knows her stuff with canines too.

Thank you Sara for all you do for our Raine Dog.” 

Joanne Curran

“Sara was amazing the night my little dog collapsed at 10pm.

She helped settle her and she was in a deep sleep all night, thanks to Sara keeping her comfortable along with extra medication until we made the decision to let her go.” 

Jan Williams

“Sara cares so much and helps you, especially when it’s unexpected. Remote healing sent to my precious dog Zac today.” 

Sheree Elizabeth Hunter

“I initially contacted Sara as she has worked wonders with my cats and horses over the years, so wanted to try her for myself.

All I can say is thank you Sara. I can’t recommend you enough and won’t hesitate to contact you for help again”.

Heather Atkinson

“Sara did a wonderful job helping to settle our dog Brodie after our other dog sadly passed away. Thank you again Sara.” 

Ann Russell

“Helped my little dog Lola with stress after her operation, and she loves a Reiki session with Sara xx”
