Mum is whisperer

- By Antonia Paget

A MUM who took up alternativ­e therapies to relieve her agony after a car crash is now using the idea to help sick k animals.

Lynette Blackwell says she he has discovered she can “speak” k” to animals to identify their eir problems and help point owners ners in the right direction.

And she insists: “If an animal nimal becomes sick or is badly behaved haved and the vet can’t do anything ng for them, someone like me can help.”

Mum-of-one Lynette has worked with animals ranging from horses, rses, dogs and donkeys to iguanas and tortoises, using reiki and other techniques. ques.

She adds: “It’s amazing, we find out how they really feel to get to the bottom of health and behavioura­l issues.” She discovered her skill after a car crash ten years ago left her with agony in her hip.

Lynette, now 48, had to give up work as a loans banker and went through six ops. But doctors could not end the pain. Instead she turned to an energy healer for help. She says: “There had to be an answer. She gave me shamanist healing – it was the first time I’d had pain relief in so long.

“It sounds bizarre but she brushed away my pain with a feather.”

Lynette, of Hadleigh, Essex, decided to learn reiki, a form of energy healing, to help with her own relaxation.

When her teacher suggested working with animals, she visited an OUR vet Brian Faulkner, from Petplan, has 16 years of experience and is a freelance working all over the country.

She says: “I cleared my mind, activated the reiki and laid my hands on Ben. A voice in my head said, ‘Please don’t do that I don’t like it.’

“Ben then told how he had previously been driven in a trap.”

Ben’s owner confirmed the horse’s story. Lynette said: “I was dubious at first. When I connect to the animals I feel and see things – a word, a picture, a feeling. I translate that to the owner.”

Lynette now has a successful career as an animal healer, charging £40 for a two-hour session. She adds: “I’m like an interprete­r. Owners ask their questions and I do my best to answer by speaking to the animal.”
