From broken hearts to bunged-up ears, crystal healer Kaye Thomas is using the mystical power of gemstones to help cure our furry and feathered friends.
Crystal healing is the latest new-age craze among pet owners and Kaye (46) has already clocked up lots of success.
one of her recent satisfied customers is spaniel Chelsea, who suffered a bad case of grief when her owner Carey Lineham died. Carey was a tetraplegic and Chelsea (8) was his constant companion.
Carey’s wife Janette (50) says Chelsea refused to sleep after he died at home of skin cancer recently, and even chased the undertakers down the road when they took Carey (50) away.
“She wouldn’t settle and went round and round on his bed, howling,” says Janette.
The vet offered to sedate her but Janette wanted to try a gentler option and contacted Nelson-based Kaye.
Kaye had already made her name treating horses with crystals, and prescribed an amethyst to be worn around Chelsea’s neck at night. The results left Janette amazed and relieved.
“She went out like a light on the first night,” she says.
Kaye has worked as a crystal healer for both people and animals for five years. She also works part-time as an orthopedic secretary at Nelson Hospital, but turned to alternative healing herself when doctors failed to cure her chronic asthma, migraines and arthritis.
“I’d tried all the medications, but then I used crystals on myself and suddenly I felt great,” she says. “I had always been fascinated by them but didn’t know their capabilities until I researched them.”
Kaye then opened Nelson’s Hawke Valley Healing Centre to treat people and animals. She says many pet owners were sceptical – until they saw the results.
“Animals are very open to the energies of all that sort of thing. They are fantastic to work with and are so loving,” she explains.
As well as horses and dogs, Kaye has treated cows, birds, and rabbits.
She uses amethysts to treat insomnia and fear, bloodstone and citrine for fatigue and exhaustion, and clear quartz for injuries. She believes crystals can be programmed for any task, even healing broken hearts.
“Animals grieve as we do, and also get anxious and depressed, like Chelsea did,” she says. “of course, you still need the vet and the doctor. It’s not a total alternative. For example, a vet needs to treat a broken bone but crystals speed up the healing.”
