MatildaMatilda Dunkley-Brown would like to thank Isobel very much indeed for allowing
her to tell her owners what an important and hard working dog she is.
I have never met anyone like Isobel Johnstone. She is my answer to Dr Dolittle.
Isobel has an incredible gift and has generously shared that gift with me by
talking to a number of cats and dogs in my care.
Isobel has accurately pinpointed the location of lost cats, solved a mystery
about a house in disarray when we returned from a day trip home to find screens
destroyed, a missing cat and no obvious solution as to how it happened, helped
me communicate with a cat that had passed over, reassured 2 of my cats who were
having to remain behind whilst we went on an overseas journey and communicated
with 4 of my dogs who were joining us on that trip.
Isobel communicates with all the animals in my care via photographs. She has
never met any of them or knows anything about them, beyond the little I tell
her prior to the communication. A most incredible thing about the
communications that Isobel has had with all the animals is the uncanny accuracy
of each animals personality that shines through. Literally, if the animals were
human, the way they talk to isobel and the things they say, would be EXACTLY
how I would expect them to communicate if they WERE human.
Isobel's empathy, her compassion and her career as a vet, only add to her
amazing gift and her insight into the animal kingdom. She is the first person I
turn to when an animal has gone missing, is in distress or when I need to
communicate something important. I truthfully don't know what I would do
without her.
It is truly wonderful to know Isobel and to know that with Isobel in my life
and the lives of the animals in my care, that we can have the communication I
have wanted all my life. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Isobel
to any and all animal lovers.
With love,
Alex Hoare
TOP OF PAGE I had Isobel come to speak to a poodle that I had rescued from the RSPCA. We
had been working on him settling into our routine and home but after weeks of
attempting to achieve this we invited Isobel to speak to Mr B. She explained to
him our concern that our lifestyle did not meet his needs and the options we
had, one of which was he return to the RSPCA. Mr B expressed his happiness with
living with us but also his happiness to return to the RSPCA, assuring us that
he would be happy in any family he lived with. This assurance allowed us to
(with reduced guilt) return him to the RSPCA with recommendations about what
type of family would best suit Mr B.

We have a very timid cat which scares at the slightest noise and when she is
scared, she lets you know with both teeth and claws. So when it came to taking
her to the vet to get clippered (a task we were dreading). I sat down, and did
what Isobel had talked to me about, and talked to Daisy-Maid, telling her what
was going to happen, showing her the bag she was going to travel in and
explaining the whole process. She jumped in, head poking out and calmly went to
the vet, got clippered and came home, with no fuss, it was like another cat
completely.

The Hinwood Kids We had an unhappy challenge with one of our lovely Burmese cats for all of her
7 years. She ran away from us, wouldn't let us come near her yet called from a
distance, and hid from most strangers, especially children. We have had other
cat people in our lives for many years and know this is so very un-Burmese.
Thankfully, enter Isobel. This cat acts very differently now; in fact the
changes happened immediately. She is very affectionate and loving. It turns out
her hearing is very acute and people make loud noises so she has to retreat.
She knows exactly how we are to show her affection and she loves it when we do;
in fact, she insists on being stroked, and tossed around in a box often. The
calling was for play, her way. We are so very grateful Isobel.

Nip, Whisper & Bumbles
What an enjoyable and useful time we had with Isobel. During a couple of
sessions she spoke with both my established dogs, a newly acquired geriatric
terrier and my daughter's two fluffy whites that I was dog sitting.
The home dogs expressed themselves much as I expected except the one, a rescue
animal, was effusive in her pleasure at being in her new home, even after a
couple of years with us.
The elderly new arrival spoke of the problems in her previous home and
commented about the pleasures she now enjoyed. Her complaints were absolutely
valid.
The two fluffy whites surprised me. My daughter had recently moved under
difficult circumstance (hence my dog sitting). They revealed aspects of home
that I knew nothing about and which my daughter later confirmed as accurate.
Isobel was not familiar with the animals or their history. We reconnected
through a mutual friend, not having spoken to each other for a number of years.

Muffy
I asked Isobel to talk with my cat as I had two important problem issues with
Muffy. I wanted to stop her clawing at the flyscreen door to be let in; why
wouldn't a simple meow do? Muffy replied that she did not know that just a meow
would do but would try it, but if that did not work she would claw at the
screen. Since then she has only clawed once, when we were watching TV and did
not hear her meow. Another problem was she had taken to waking us very early in
the morning. Her reply was "well I am awake and they are family and so I think
they would enjoy being awake, I don't like being the only one awake" After
discussing with her how we really did not want to be woken up early and Isobel
's information on how to send her mental images of us sleeping we have been
"allowed" to keep sleeping. It is such a relief to have these issues sorted out
and I also have a much better relationship with Muffy now. Thank you so much
Isobel.

Isobel and I had been business acquaintances some years ago and when we caught
up recently through mutual friends I invited her to lunch. Isobel had never
met my Afghan Hounds and she was keen to communicate with them. She asked each
of them separately to tell her something that they and I would know but that
she would not know.
Prophet said "I like licorice, you know those nice lollies. If she wants me to
do my best then licorice will do it to give me as a reward". Isobel looked
most confused at this afterwards but I laughed and brought out Prophet's no.1
treat (he has many different treats as he does a lot of agility training and
competition) but the dark dried lamb chunks look just like licorice!
Folly said "Well I am lazy really, I don't like to run and run like you know
who. I have to work at it and give up as soon as I get the chance". This is
classically Folly who now that she is older is retired from agility competition
as she really doesn't want to put herself out on a challenging course and runs
straight to the finish line stops and waits for me to get the message!
Everything else Isobel quoted back to me was 100% accurate on both dogs and I
was amazed during the session when Prophet stood up and walked over and just
stared at Isobel who was sitting quietly away from him with her eyes closed.

The Chantal Kids
What a treat it was to be able to talk to my cats through Isabel. The
behavioural issues I was having with them have certainly much improved and on
the odd occasion when they lapse, I just remind them how inappropriate it is
using techniques Isobel showed me. The change has been great - even my
housemates have commented. Thank you so much Isobel.

MischaAfter Isobel had talked to my cat Mischa our relationship changed, I mean with
the cat of course. Instead of Mischa being my pet, she became my companion. We
had a much better understanding of how we wanted to live together. Thank you
Isobel, life is much easier now.

Jessica & Lyssie
I am one of the 'true' skeptics. While skeptics dismiss anything that does not
comply with their concepts as rubbish the TRUE Skeptic requires convincing
proof of an incident and once such proof is received will accept it as genuine.
Let me state I believe that the events of Sunday afternoon were very real
indeed. A skeptic would dismiss it all as emanating from your subconscious and
elaborating what we told you beforehand. As for me...
| 1. | We in fact told you very little of what came up in your "interviews".
|
| 2. | Tonkinese are very active beasts that seldom stay still for long. In both cases
ours sat quite still throughout although it was hilarious when Lyssie decided
enough was enough and stomped off.
|
| 3. | Jessica informed you when asked to tell you something you did not know that
they loved chasing round our second living room; you even got a picture of that
room spinning round. No way could you have inferred this game, after all there
is our long corridor perfect for wild chases and I did warn you on arrival to
beware and freeze if you hear a herd of elephants charging along that corridor.
While they do have such long chases they always end up in that one room, which
you hardly saw until after the interviews.
|
| 4. | Lyssie's surprise answer to that one was her love of food containing fish.
Early in your visit I told you I fed them Roo mince last thing each night. No
mention of the fact that I keep a few small packs of gourmet tuna in crab jelly
in the fridge for times when I forget to put the Roo stuff out to thaw. As a
result of your interview I recalled I had not given the cats any of this for
weeks. I opened my last pack and Lyssie did come over excited. I never realised
just how much she loved the stuff.
|
| 5. | Toy mice ? They have gone off them for a long time now. I gave them one of the
last of my remaining stock after you left and it vanished. Three days later
right now I look down and it's at my feet and still unscathed.

WE ARE CONVINCED; THANKS !

I have known Isobel Johnstone for more than twenty years as a well respected
veterinarian and PhD in science. Isobel visited my two beautiful Burmese male
cats, Zandi and Tuya, after Zandi was discharged from hospital to receive
intensive home treatment for diabetes and hepatic lipidosis. I could not
understand why Zandi had become so ill and therefore asked Isobel to speak to
"the boys" and ask them the reasons. Isobel was able to obtain information
from Zandi about situations whose impact on Zandi I had not appreciated and
which I realised I would have to correct. She also talked to Tuya to find out
how he felt about his beloved brother and the results were equally
enlightening.
Following weeks of intensive nursing, Zandi is happy and healthy and Tuya has
stopped spraying. I now live in a home with two exceptionally contented and
peaceful cats, all thanks to Isobel and the messages that she relayed to me
from "the boys". I can only wish that all animal lovers appreciate the value
of this form of mental communication with their adored animals so that we can
help them and ourselves lead truly happy, full lives.
