JANE YOUNG

(Personal Assistant to Dr Sue Armstrong)

On my journey for a life of finding the answer to what seemed to be confusing and difficult questions in the quest for understanding Animals led me to meet Sue Armstrong. The words and treatments connected with everything I believe in. My introduction to our Four Legged canine friends was through family dogs throughout, I found solace and comfort being around them at a very early age it was a true connection but one thing that was still a huge question mark was the sharing of the planet with All Animals. I began my early Career with Horses, Training with the likes of Monty Roberts, Kelly Marks, Leslie Desmond, Mark Rashid travelling to the United States on regular occasions but always seeking a connection and finding it more and more difficult to find a flow and not bringing Human stuff into that space when I was with them - leaving that behind which led me to work on myself for some time.

I realised the Horse as a Herd Animal - needed space, time and consistency and also to be with their own. It is what became apparent to me that all animals needed the same thing and to begin to understand this was a lightbulb moment - a Horse in a world full of confusion but a Horse just wanting to be a Horse with the instincts and body they were born with, likewise a Dog, A Cat, A Lizard, A Bird and the the list continues………………..

So with a balance of sound grounded knowledge and a change of patterning slowly it drips through however we still have our lives to lead in this world and we are forever asking our Animals for a Compromise. Good Medicine for me is to find the answer, what Sue is teaching me at the moment especially is ask the Questions and form the story then it will start to make sense.

Thank you to all my Teachers and Thank You especially Dr Sue Armstrong.
