About Me

Over the years I have supported over 200 pet owners in saying goodbye to their loved ones, providing sensitive, compassionate, and dignified services to those whose pets have passed or are soon to do so.

I have always had pets since before I can remember, so I understand first hand how hard losing an animal companion can be, whatever the circumstances or whatever age you may be.

After my beloved cat, Midnight, passed away unexpectedly one night, my aim is to provide care and support to those experiencing the grief of losing a pet. And over the years I have worked with a whole range of animals including cats, dogs, guinea-pigs, rats, fish, lizards, goats, sheep, and horses – to name but a few.

I currently have two cats, Sephi and Micah, who provide me with all the joy and comfort of treasured family members, as well as lovely warm feet on cold evenings.

I am a certified End of Life Companion with End of Life Doula UK (having completed their Foundation Training Course, a registered Crossfields Institute Quality Mark qualification) and am currently undertaking their further Diploma Course. I am also a Bereavement Volunteer at Wigan & Leigh Hospice in Hindley.
I am certified to provide Pet Loss Support by the Blue Cross, and have several years of experience of operating a Pet Bereavement Service – providing both practical and bereavement support to over 200 pet owners.
I hold a BA in Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic from the University of Cambridge, and an MA in Cultural Heritage from the University of York - with a focus on historical funerary practises and repatriation of human remains.

"Emily has been there for me through the death of two pets–one expected at the end of a long life and one a surprise and much too soon. She was an enormous comfort through both, a much needed sympathetic ear who understands the depth of companionship and love that our pets give us. At every moment she affirmed and validated just how impacted I was by their loss, while encouraging reflection on the joys we’d shared together. The keepsake she provided hangs above my desk and every day is a beautiful reminder that while we only may share our lives with our pets for a short time, it is one worth every moment of the grief that follows."
