Dogs/Cats/Horses Online sessions / Mentoring online

€30.00 - €140.00

Are you or your animal unable to travel to our clinic in Sligo? Consider an online Applied Zoopharmacognosy session through zoom where Carly will guide you through the offering process.

Or are you new to Zoopharmacognosy and unsure of, or need more support on how to work with the 'offering and selecting' process?

Alternatively are you already familiar with the process but need further support on a specific issue with your animal?

Book an online one-to-one session where Carly will guide you (using Zoom platform or your preferred alternative) throughout the session or consider a half hour mentoring session to get you started! See below for varying packages available. Click here to email  if you wish to discuss this option further/make an appointment.

Achieving optimum results

• Purchase of relevant extracts for use during the session in a prerequisite from our sister shop www.whitethornherbals.com *see below
• The session is recorded for later viewing
• Selections and responses are recorded by Carly and a report sent out within 48hrs of the session
• The fee also include a follow up call at a mutually agreed time to assess progress and ongoing selections and answer any queries you may have

*Please note

Some clients may already have herbs and oils purchased from other sources that they may wish to use for a session. Regrettably we are unable to work with these unless they come from a recognised verifed Zoopharmacognosy specialist supplier. This is due to the fact that many products on the market commonly contain additives, fillers, preservatives and pesticide residue. When offering to your animal during a session it is imperative that the products used such as the ones we supply are of the highest standard and correct chemotype to ensure efficacy and more importantly safety. Thank you for your understanding.
