Meet Monique ...
and the extraordinary humans, animals and unseen guides who help bring Animalchemy to life.
Monique
Founder
Vision
International Sacred Pet Doula Trainer · Multisensory Animal Intuitive .
Shift Network Faculty
Creator of Walk Your Pet Home
Monique left behind the glamorous world of working as a personal assistant to a prince to follow a rather different calling —
one led by animals, consciousness, and the mysteries that connect the visible and unseen worlds.
Today, she is an international teacher, and creator of Walk Your Pet Home, a pioneering approach that is reshaping how animals and their people experience end-of-life, grief and the continuation of love. She has trained pet doulas across 11 countries, and her students often describe her trainings as life-changing.
At the heart of Monique’s work is a mission to transform the current end-of-life paradigm: from one dominated by fear, urgency and disconnection into a sacred and conscious journey that honours the animal, restores trust in our intuition and supports grief’s innate movement toward healing. Her approach transforms moments of crisis into opportunities for healing and awakening.
Yet the transformation rarely ends there. Through the relationships we share with animals, Monique helps people uncover and shift the deeper patterns that influence how they meet loss, uncertainty and change. What begins with their precious animal friends can reshape how they trust themselves, receive guidance and move through every challenge in life.
Whether she is supporting an animal guardian, initiating a new generation of pet doulas or leading people into the wild, her work invites a deeper relationship with animals, consciousness and who we truly are. It is spiritual but grounded, profound without becoming painfully serious and always leaves room for laughter, particularly when the animals clearly have other plans.
Monique’s greater vision is a world in which our relationships with animals awaken us to live, love and let go with greater consciousness.
Because on their journey beside us and on their journey home our animals so often walk us home to ourselves.

Trixie
The Human Who Keeps the Magic Organised
Social Media Manager · Administrative Assistant
Trixie helps bring Animalchemy's mission to life behind the scenes through thoughtful communication, organization, and creative support.
From managing social media and updating the website to coordinating launches and assisting with day-to-day operations, she helps ensure every detail reflects the compassion, beauty, and heart at the core of Animalchemy.
She believes that even the smallest acts of service can make a meaningful difference, and feels honored to support a community that is helping people and their beloved animals navigate life's most sacred journeys with greater love, presence, and understanding.
Our Feline Advisory Board
They ensure the Animalchemy team remembers that rest, presence, and staring mysteriously into the distance are essential business practices.
They are nevertheless consulted on all major decisions.
Hoshi
Keeper of the Portal
Hoshi oversees the unseen dimensions of Animalchemy, guards the energetic field, and reminds the team that the most important work is not always visible.
She also appears precisely when someone needs to stop working.
Chichay
Head of Client Vibration Assessment
With an uncanny ability to sense energy, Chichay determines who may enter the sacred circle. From supervising Zoom calls to reviewing important documents by sitting directly on them, Chichay ensures every project meets the highest feline standards. Approval is communicated through purring, slow blinks, or simply choosing not to walk away.
One Great Dane & Seven Cats
Animalchemy may have been founded by Monique, but the path itself was shaped by a rather unconventional faculty: one gloriously happy Great Dane and seven extraordinary cats.
Each arrived with a different teaching. Some opened doorways into love, grief and the unseen realms. Others taught courage, sacred presence, unity, receiving, protection or the importance of maintaining extremely high standards regarding who was permitted to enter the house.
Together, they offered the fragmented pieces of wisdom and experience that would eventually become a conscious path for animals and their people.
Today they may no longer attend meetings in physical form, but their wisdom, love and unmistakable personalities remain woven into everything we do.
They continue to inspire the teachings, influence important decisions and offer guidance from their considerably more spacious offices beyond the visible world.
They may now work from the unseen realms, but their pawprints remain unmistakably present in everything Animalchemy has become.
Daya
Path Weaver · Chief Happiness Officer
Daya arrived as a gentle giant with an apparently inexhaustible capacity for happiness.
Through her, everything Monique had studied, experienced and learned from the animals before her began to come together. Daya helped transform separate teachings and intuitive understandings into an embodied, conscious path, one that could finally be shared with others.
She did not simply inspire another part of the work. She helped Monique live it, trust it and weave it into what would become Walk Your Pet Home.
And, true to Daya, she did it all while reminding everyone that profound transformation and wholehearted happiness are perfectly capable of living side by side.
Amàra
Keeper of the Original Flame
Although Rami first opened the doorway to this journey, Amàra became one of the deepest spiritual foundations beneath Animalchemy.
Through her life, her journey home and the bond that continues beyond her physical presence, she revealed lessons that now live inside so much of Monique’s work. Her wisdom helped shape a deeper understanding of consciousness, healing, surrender and the sacred purpose held within the relationships we share with animals.
Amàra may no longer be visible, but her presence continues to move through every teaching, every transformation and every animal-human journey held within Animalchemy.
Ramses alias Rami
Director of Unconditional Love
Rami opened the first doorway.
Through loving him and losing his physical presence, Monique began the journey that would eventually become Animalchemy.
He taught what true unconditional love looks like in a fur coat and that the bonds that transform us most deeply never truly leave us.
Kuma
Director of Love’s New Pathways
Kuma helped reveal that there is a way to heal grief. When the end of life journey is walked consciously, love can begin creating new pathways through the heart, the mind and even the way we experience life itself.
Tao
Chief Officer of Radical Aliveness
Kuma helped reveal that there is a way to heal grief. When the end of life journey is walked consciously, love can begin creating new pathways through the heart, the mind and even the way we experience life itself.
Shen
Ambassador of Unity Consciousness
Through Shen, Monique was given a profound experience of the place where separation dissolves and consciousness is shared.
He helped her understand not only intellectually, but through embodied experience what he was really feeling as his life was changing form and the physical boundaries between them began to soften.
Queen Sheba
Director of Sacred Receivership
Queen Sheba did not chase, persuade or overexert herself. She embodied her value and allowed life to come to her...
as every true queen knows it should.
She taught the art of receiving: inhabiting our full presence so completely that we no longer need to push and struggle for what is already seeking us.
