Kathy’s work, world and life is all about energy and connection. She comes from a scientific background gaining a BSc (Hons) degree in Zoology and her outlook was always from the scientific point of view. That was until in 2003 when with her horse Midnight she went to a horsemanship clinic. For her this clinic was the moment of transformation, a spiritual experience that changed her life.
Now over 20 years on, after extensive study into energy, quantum physics, healing, spirituality and training in several energetic modalities, Kathy is well-established in her work which she calls Point of Balance. Through this purely energetic work she acts as a facilitator to the person or animal she is working with to help them move back into balance at all levels – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. This act of balancing not only helps them to heal
themselves, but also helps them realise their unique power and potential. Kathy knows categorically that is the horse that has not only led her to the wonderful people around her today, but also continues to lead her into deeper and deeper insights of the fundamental aspects of this World and indeed The Universe …… namely everything is energy, and everything is connected. Kathy’s work includes carrying out sessions in person and at distance with both people and animals, and she feels blessed and grateful to have clients both people and animals, all over the world.a
Jane’s work explores how it is we access and bring forward our innate vitality, through our relationship to ourselves, each other and the natural world. She draws constant inspiration from the creative arts and poetry, her relationships with the animals in her life, and the many allies she finds on her daily walks and rides through the forest on her farm.
She currently calls the South Island of New Zealand/ Aotearoa home, finding solace and support from raw beauty of the landscape that surrounds her.
Jane has travelled extensively, including working as an aid worker throughout the middle east and Indian subcontinent in her 20’s, and combines her personal experiences in the world with her creative interests and expertise in movement, biomechanics and the nervous system to create experiences that are moving, enriching and transformational.
