About Me

My name is Sharon, and I am the person behind Flora helping Fauna, I have always had an affinity with animals which started when I was much younger. I’m originally from a veterinary nursing background (many moons ago) where I worked in both small animal practice and large animal and equine practice. Due to a growing family, I changed careers to allow for more time at home with my son. Re-training and entering the world of science where I studied for a degree in Biomedical Science and going on to do a Post-Grad Diploma has led to a career in science for 20 plus years both in the NHS and research.

In my search to help my own animals especially my horse Nyx, I undertook training on the practitioner route for Equine Touch completing all 4 levels of training, but the Universe had different plans and led me in a different direction, looking for answers to help my horse, I learned as much as I could about the correct forage for horses. I stumbled across the emerging science of gut biome in animals, the research Carol Hughes and her research team at Bangor University regarding the gut biome and its role in animals is ground breaking, they are able to advise how to correct the imbalance with the use of plants and allowing for natural foraging to help rebalance the gut biome. Sadly, I lost Nyx in 2016, she is still my inspiration in my journey.

A new horse would continue guiding me on my journey, they say if you allow it the universe will provide. Around this time, I had a new horse but was feeling despondent, I had this beautiful young horse who had started to display similar symptoms to Nyx, could I really be this unlucky? By chance a friend mentioned the Animal Energy World Conference, where speakers from all fields and all over the world came together, respected scientists in their fields, holistic healers and holistic vets, maybe here I’d get some answers, so I signed up and never looked back, so many experts all with one goal in common to help animals heal in a holistic way, respecting them as sentient beings. During this conference Nayana presented her five-element theory and I was hooked, it explained so much and made total sense. I signed up the next week to her on-line community and dived into learning by signing up to the practitioner Animal PsychAromatica course qualifying as an APA practitioner earlier this year.
