When I interview a new petsitter, I ask the animals if they have anything they want to ask. Felix asked the woman, “Are you a smoker?” She said no. I asked Felix why he wanted to know because no one I know has “smoked” around him. He replied, “Because I love the smells.” Then I realized he meant the essential oil diffuser! I love the smells too! #essentialoilsandpets
Easter just said to me, “I am getting comfortable knowing myself. I watch my thoughts and I’m figuring out how to think.” I ask her what is she thinking and she says, “I am thinking a lot about the world. It’s much more than sniffing the wonderful smells of the earth and loving everyone I meet. It’s also watching people learn how to raise up from sadness and live joyfully.”
I just took Hudson and Luca for an early morning run. When we got home the pack was super excited to be together again (Felix chillin on the couch). Hudson started barking, so I had to put him in a down stay to help him calm down. He said, “We ran fast. It’s a memory now.”
Earlier today while we were driving in the car, Hudson all of sudden shared, “Sometimes I don’t even know when I am being naughty. It really is confusing trying to keep it all straight. Should I really care?” #thatsmydog
Luca says, “Everyone should be real and do something that they love. We want to live with inner power fueling our days!”
Jubilee and her bestie Phoenix
A couple of years ago, Jubilee and I had some problems on the trail which resulted in her throwing me and her galloping a great distance away. Jubilee had some stress and bad coping mechanism after that. She can be an opinionated tough horse that needs a steady, patient, and calm rider. I was told by a trainer that Jubilee will never be safe on the trail again and that she will never be able to ride out alone. It was a frustrating time for me, because I was trying my best to find a trainer that could help Jubilee get over her issues and also make sure Jubilee had a herd life.
I grew up on a beautiful horse farm in NY where my horses always spent the days out in pastures with friends. I do not believe in keeping horses in small pipe corrals with out giving them room to roam and socialize. When I first drove by a California riding facility with horses standing in 12 x 24 pipe corrals and no turn out, I burst out into tears. Come to find out, it’s the norm.
Jubilee’s farm burned down in the Thomas Fire resulting in her having to spend a month in a pipe corral where she got sick and was hospitalized. Then I moved her to a farm where she had great care and dressage training, but only had a couple hours out alone in a field to move freely. There is where a trainer who I hired to get Jubilee over her trail issues, told me Jubilee would never change. He told me she was dangerous and other not nice things about my girl.
I have been around animals long enough to believe that in the right environment, with the right trainer, understanding, and support, any animal can change.
It is important to not label our animals anything negative. That doing so can make a behavior stick. This can be hard because we can be so emotionally attached to our animals’ behaviors.
I believed in Jubilee. That’s when I shipped Jubilee to Oregon so Jubilee could live in a herd, get the right care, the best diet, and be around people who believe that all horses can overcome themselves. I needed someone as sensitive as me, but who had a better skill set for training. That is Katie Dixon. She has been amazing for Jubilee!
One year later, Jubilee is now heading out on the trail very easily. Such a joy! And will even walk out alone (with no other horses).
I can not thank Katie enough for her patient, calm, instinctual powers to help horses over come their issues. I am incredibly blessed. As is every horse that comes into her program.
Yesterday, Jubilee said to Katie and I, “I am feeling rich. Rich with possibilities.”
How amazing is my horse?!
Jubilee also told me that the reason she has more spots this year is because, “I met with angels in my dreams and they painted me with stars!”
I love her! She is often the spokes-horse for the horses at the ranch and will often share her observations and insights on the other horses with Katie and me. Jubee has been very helpful that way.
If you have an animal that needs your help, believe that the universe will make that happen if you are committed. The Thomas Fire (which burned Jubilee’s farm on my birthday) changed our lives for the better! After chaos comes order.
Thank you Katie for helping Jubilee realize she is rich with possibilities!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To answer the question, “Could you not just speak to her and explain?”
* Yes, with a lot of animals that works. But when there is post traumatic stress involved, similar to people animals cortisol levels get elevated and they can have a hard time calming themselves down to think clearly. We see this with dog aggression as well. Jubilee is young and she can be very opinionated. In some situations she thinks she knows better than me 🙂! I don’t have a teenager, but I was one! She is a very large horse and when she gets frightened or thinks she knows best she would use her body to throw her weight around or think that throwing off her rider to save herself is ok. Which can be extremely dangerous. Think about a chihuahua’s issues vs a German shepherds issues. I have a good eye for animal behavior and body language, but not the finesse and impeccable timing as an experienced horsewoman who works with and rides horses everyday. I needed help. Have you ever had a fear, anger or an issue that you intellectually know how to act, but just cant do it when you are stressed? Its the same thing with animals. Animal communication and can be remarkable at times and it is always helpful but I would be doing a disservice to animals if I taught that animals do not need to learn and to be stimulated by training and that we as animal caretakers shouldn’t understand their language and teach them using their body language and communication skills. Every animal professional I admire, collaborates with other animal professionals. That is how we get better and help other animals that come to us. The more I learn about being a good horsewoman and the more Katie instills the foundation for success in Jubilee the more I can help Jubilee understand what is needed of her. She already has grown so much. If we work on our consciousness and learn to be confident, we all learn with age and experience.
We have been having so much fun with Young-living Essential Oils.
Luca my poodle loves them!
Luca says, “They make me feel calm and secure. They give me insightful dreams. Dreams where I am hanging out with groups of people talking telepathy and everyone understands me.”
Now that’s cool!
I have been using Young Living Essential Oils on a daily basis. When I am home they are always diffusing in the house.
Here are some of the reasons I use them:
They help me stay grounded and cleared of energy I may pick up from each psychic session.
They help me and the animals sleep! The dogs bark, itch, scratch and lick less!
I can rub them on the dogs’ tummies when they have belly aches or are panting at night.
I have rubbed them on my chest when I had a heart ache. They helped to transform my sadness faster.
I have more peaceful meditations.
I rub them on the dogs when we go for walks or to agility class. The dogs are calmer and more grounded.
My little house no longer smells like 7 animals! It smells fresh, inviting and soooo good!
They help me stay alert, clear and focused when I have long work days talking to the animals and people!
I rub them on myself when I know I am going to see a lot of people. (I am a hermit introvert by nature). They help me stay confident and present.
My cat Ella has stopped licking the hair off her belly. She is more confident and relaxed around loud noises.
I just love the ritual of choosing which oil I want to diffuse and filling the diffuser.
Its so much fun! I have never been huge into “smells” though I find it amazing how each scent creates a different feeling in me and the animals.
I have more vivid dreams. Even some premonition dreams!
I no longer have moths in house! I believe they help with fleas!
I am just more happy and peaceful.
I use them in my laundry too….
There are so many reasons to use them. The starter pack is sooooo much fun! I feel like I am 8 years old again.
My sister’s kids are obsessed! They are awesome for kids!
When I was back home in NY my sister Zoë Grave and I had some fun doing an Instagram story talking to her two dogs Leia and Obi about Essential Oils. (Yes, my sis is a Star Wars Fan!)
Obi and Leia were great to talk with! Leia had lots of tips on what oils to diffuse and what not to diffuse.
Watch the video to hear what they have to say!
Sorry about the choppiness of these videos they are taken from my sister’s Instagram story.

If you’re more of a visual learner, here Is my sister breaking it all down via video https://tinyurl.com/zgstudio-unboxing
From Zoë: Young Living has been super beneficial to me and Laura, my kids and our pets for so many reasons! It’s helped with our sleep, anxiety, getting over colds (and keeping them away!) as well as supporting our animals! Not to mention diffusing oils just smells really good 🙂
This is Ella. She often lies near the essential oil diffuser.
She says, “I love the oils because they make me feel more myself. It smells like outside while you’re inside. I don’t over-groom my belly anymore, because I’m less stressed about shadows (she doesn’t see well) and more peaceful about everything. I love to smell all the different smells. Stress away with lavender is my favorite. Also I love the oil Joy too. I don’t like frankincense with peppermint as much because it makes my nose tickle. It’s fun to smell the different smells.”
Zoë answers :
Diffusing is an easy and gentle way to get the smell and health benefits of essential oils into the air as opposed to ingesting
With cats and dogs the main thing is that they should always have the option to leave the room when the diffuser is running. They should be able to come and go as they please. You can tell pretty much instantaneously if the animal is bothered by the smell or not.
I would also suggest that you start off diffusing just a few drops and then build up as they get used to it. When introducing the oil to an animal you can begin by taking the top off the bottle and kind of wafting it in front of their face. Then watch their reaction and it will give you a good sense of what they think.
With regards to cats, if you google essential oils and cats there can be some scary warnings. But if you dig deeper and look particularly at young living (Young Living and Doterra are the only two companies I would ever get oils from for not only myself and my family, but also for my animals) there are actually a lot of misconceptions. The Animal Desk Reference, which is awesome, says “Diffusion is usually a method that is well tolerated by all cats, especially from water-based diffuser models” (like Young Living’s Desert Mist diffuser we recommend). The book covers basically every animal you can think of and how to best use essential oils to support them.
That being said most people suggest not using the following oils around cats :
Oregano
Wintergreen
Clove
Mountain savory
Thyme
Citrus oils
These are oils high in phenols. Again I think this warning is more for topically than diffusing, and every expert on the subject will have a different opinion.
I have dogs and horses and we have had wonderful experiences with oils and especially Young Living’s Animal Scents line. Their ointment is one of my favorites!
I could go on and on so please feel free to email me with any questions! zgstudioessentials@gmail.com

This is my late Stormy. Eight years ago today, he woke me up and said, “I had a dream I was flying in the stars. I asked myself ‘is this heaven?’ and I then heard ‘no this is the heart of the universe’” My book Stormy’s Words of Wisdom is coming out around Christmas!
Spending Sunday working. Book of pet psychic stories and articles will be out before Christmas! #happylife
I had a very hard time getting Easter to look at me for this picture. I just told her that her behavior is gross, so she was avoiding looking me in the eye. Easter loves to roll in poop! It makes her very proud. I asked her to please stop and to please tell me why.
She explained, “I love it. Smelling of poop makes me feel magical and like I am something bigger than myself.”
As you can imagine there are many things I could say to this, but for now I am just going to sit with that.
Seamora just said to me, “You haven’t known this, but I have lived a lot of lives as my best self.” Wow! Lucky her.
Tina, Stewart, Laura & Arthur and goat up above 🙂
