About Karen

Karen Bailey

Since retiring from the corporate world in 2006, I have explored the world of energy connections, meditation, shamanic journeying and healing, both with myself and my animals, including completing various courses, reading many books, and following the works of interesting and amazing people from around the world.

I have been working with my animal family of five horses, a variety of cats over the years, and a dog, to develop a completely different focus regarding the relationship and connection between us, working to re-find that very basic of things, communication through the senses – Feeling it All.

I qualified as a Trust Technique Practitioner for large animals (horses, donkeys, llamas, etc) in July 2023, enabling me to teach the Trust Technique as a basis for starting your own journey of sharing peace of mind with your own animal family. As I do this I also share, and develop further, my own learning and understanding about our connection with our animals and our planet, and support you on your own journey towards finding peace of mind for yourself.

Previous to that I completed a two part course “Awakening your energetic connection”, an online course in equine nutrition developed by the school of veterinary studies at Edinburgh university, and an online course in How Animals Heal Themselves, developed by Caroline Ingraham.

I have taken part in a seven week course in Shamanic Journeying. I also have done a short course in animal communication, and most recently a Reiki Course, obtaining Reiki 1 certification. Reiki 2 certification will be my next challenge very soon.

The work I am doing now has many facets.

I work with creating an understanding of the human/domestic animal relationship and how we can start to rewild that through awareness and understanding, giving the animals that have chosen to live with us as much freedom as our own domestication allows.

I work with the deepening of our human connection to our animals, and the earth. This can start with learning to be present with our domestic animals, and then develops into working on our own domestication, and re-finding our ability to listen to our senses.

I share my experiences and findings with you as I explore and deepen my understanding of our own domestication as humans, and how we can empower change through understanding peace, unconditional love, trust, boundaries, vulnerability, and communication with awareness.

I work with Faugere Equine refuge /rescue centre regularly, working with bringing peace of mind to troubled equines, who have become imbalanced emotionally through their connection to humans.

In 2025 I developed a community group of Self Awareness Explorers, a group of people locally who get together every two weeks and explore different elements of our own self awareness, from plants and herbs and how they keep our immune system maintained and healthy, essential oils and their benefits, meditation and journeying practice, and talks on yoga, reiki, sound healing, shamanism, witchcraft, and enabling reconnection to the elements of who we are. My aim is to develop a book to help others set up these type of community groups bringing people together to explore ancient practices and balance them with modern living.
