Hi, I'm Fran Bush, the therapist at Jembush and I thought you might like to know a bit about me and how I came into the wonderful world of Natural Healing, so here goes;
As you will have seen from the welcome page, I have been blessed to have the most amazing teacher in Jemma. Since then, my learning curve has been vertical and I have followed where the trail has led me with my enquiring mind and insatiable thirst for learning and knowledge. All the dogs, other animals and people who have entered my life have taught me something and the more I learn, the more I realise how little I know and how much is available for us to learn in this amazing world we live in, if only we can open our minds to other possibilities.
As a novice in natural healing, I completed my training in kinesiology and took my Reiki initiations in levels Fran and 2. These trainings served to open the virtual doors onto a whole new world for me, a world of energies, new concepts and infinite possibilities, it was truly amazing for me, like an awakening and a homecoming as all I learned made perfect sense to me, that I could not understand why I had not realised or known before. But of course I had already known, I just needed someone to remind me!
My kinesiology training introduced me to the Bach Flower Remedies and I continued to explore these and their uses and applications in subsequent years, later moving onto the Australian Bush Flower Essences, where I completed the levels Fran and 2 trainings with Ian White the founder. This served to fuel my interest further and led me to the Alaskan Flower Essence Project (AFEP) and to eventually complete their Certified Practitioner training with the founder, Steve Johnson, consisting of a number of courses plus in depth case studies and more in depth study of the essences.
I also discovered a course run by the Society for Animal Flower Essence Research (S.A.F.E.R) and I went on to study and complete their Diploma course for using essences for animals, awarding me the title of Dip.FEA ( Diploma in Flower Essences for Animals). This course taught me a huge amount about using essences for the behavioural side of animal therapy and encouraged me to read and learn more about behavioural work, which I combined with my knowledge of positive, motivational training from my work in competitive obedience. I also learned about the work of Linda Tellington-Jones with her Ttouch work and the huge impact of focus and intention combined with specific touch and massage and how to incorporate all I was learning in a cohesive way and how to use my intuition as to what to use for a specific individual.
Intertwined with the above, I discovered the magic of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and completed one of the first trainings in the UK with the Association for Meridian Therapies, which is now the major organisation for EFT and a host of other energy based therapies. I learned how EFT could be used for animals too and I experimented in using EFT and essences with amazing results and I continue to use my intuition to combine my various skills and knowledge as appropriate for the individual.
Jemma also led me to Canine Health Concern and the work of Catherine O’Driscoll and her vast research and knowledge on the adverse reactions of vaccines. From this I was led to natural nutrition in the form of raw feeding for dogs and I have now spent over 8 years enhancing my knowledge in this area by reading, researching and attending lectures and trainings and combined it with my knowledge of supplements and nutrition from my kinesiology training and love to educate new converts and pass on what I have learned to spread the word and improve the health of dogs and pets everywhere.
From EFT, I was introduced to the joys of EmoTrance, by taking a practitioner training and I continue to find both therapies incredibly easy to use and useful for a phenomenal range of problems and issues.
Somewhere along the line the angels entered my life and as I explored this avenue, I was drawn to the work of Dr Doreen Virtue. I devoured her books and philosophies and began to practice her ideas and ideals with very interesting results. I learned a whole new concept; that I could have the life of my dreams just by asking the angels ! It took me some considerable time to translate the theory into practice and the ride sometimes resembled a rollercoaster, but I had essences, EFT and EmoTrance to help me along !
As someone who had never left the fair shores of England and did not even have a passport, let along go on an aeroplane, it is unclear exactly what led me to sign up for Doreen’s Angel Therapy Practitioner course in California ! But I did and having actually got there, I loved the course and the new skills and knowledge I learned, giving me the qualification of ATP® and led me to the joy of giving reading and sharing the loving messages and the guidance of the Angels. I also made an amazing network of new like-minded friends all over the world. Talking to, listening and following the advice of the Angels, enriched my life beyond belief and encouraged me to share my discoveries with others.
So here I am, ready to share all my various learnings and to help you and your pets.
With love and blessings to you all,
