Maisie’s Story: Calm, Comfort, and Two Extra Years

Maisie was 11 when her family got the kind of news that knocks the air right out of your chest.

A suspected brain tumour.
No scans. No surgery. Just palliative care.
She was too old, they were told, the risks weren’t worth it.

Maisie was struggling.
Agitated. Restless. Seizures.
Sleep was rare. Peace was rarer.

Her humans were doing everything they could, but they knew she needed more than just waiting it out.

So they reached out to The Dog Witch.

A Gentle, Holistic Approach

Instead of focusing on what couldn’t be done, we focused on what could.

We supported Maisie’s body with tools that honoured her age, her spirit, and her unique needs.

Golden Paste was added to her meals – an anti-inflammatory powerhouse to help calm her nervous system, support her immune function, and give her body the tools to fight.

A bespoke essential oil blend was created and diffused in her space, carefully chosen to help reduce agitation, soothe her mind, and invite rest.

Regular massage was introduced, not only to support her physically, but to help her settle emotionally, and offer moments of true peace and connection.

The Outcome

It didn’t happen overnight. But slowly, gently…
Maisie began to settle.
She slept better. Her eyes softened. Her seizures became less frequent.
She wasn’t just surviving, she was coping, then she was thriving.

Maisie lived for another two full years – full of love, stability, and peace.
At home, in comfort, surrounded by the people who loved her most.

There’s always something we can do, to ease pain, to support the body and bring calm into the chaos.
