A journey we take
together
Kachina Canine is for people who are deeply committed to their own healing and their connection with their dogs on a soul level.
If you’re drawn to exploring beyond the physical, trusting in divine timing, and embracing the wisdom your dog has to share, we may be the right fit.
My approach isn’t for everyone, but for those who are ready to step into a deeper relationship with their dog, themselves, and the great mystery that connects us all.
I am Dr Isla Fishburn – a canine wellness intuitive, canine functional character advisor, grief tender, shamanic practitioner, ceremonial space holder and channeller of animal, plant and spirit consciousness. I welcome you.
I welcome
I welcome
Those who can trust the divine timing of circumstances, synchronicities and happenings and the nature and ways in which they unfold beyond our knowing, rather than wanting quick, immediate answers, results or solutions that are not for the highest and best outcomes for you and your dog.
I welcome
I welcome
I welcome
Those who, on some level, accept there is a great mystery, a creator and divine source that we are a part of and are connected to through infinite consciousness of all things.
I welcome
Those who consider their dog as a soul and higher being that has wisdom to share.
I welcome
Those who are ready to strip back from illusion, look within and desire to live in ceremony with their dog.
I welcome
Those who wish to co-exist with their dog from sovereignty and equality, at the highest level of soul consciousness, and be the highest and best versions of themselves so they can rise in to being the infinite, unlimited divine soul/creator that we all are and that this is welcomed for their dog also.
Live a life unlimited with your animal friend.
Live a life unlimited with your animal friend.
I’m here to raise the vibration of the planet, guided by my respect for all of life to bring more ceremony in to the world.
This begins by raising the consciousness of you with your animal friend and being in ceremony with them.
I’m here to bring you in to soul consciousness, ceremony and to heal with your canine friend and have conversations with consciousness; your canine friend is the elixir to your spiritual amnesia, that is what the consciousness of my wolfdog, Tunkasila once shared with me.
For as long as I can remember, I have always considered everything as alive.
I mean, I know when your dog is a dog they are alive, but I mean more than this.
What I mean is that I have always had a sense of everything being alive and having their own wisdom, their own intelligence, or, their own consciousness as I later came to know it as.
From the stars, the wind, the waters, the stones, the plants, the trees, the fugi, the animals, the earth, the universe…everything…everything is consciousness. This includes you and your dog.
of DR ISLA FISHBURN
From a young age, I felt a deep connection to the unseen. My wolf and bear spirit guides walked beside me, though I didn’t realize at the time that this was unique. Nature was my sanctuary—I spoke to the trees, the sky, the stones, and the animals, feeling their presence as alive and conscious as my own.
When I welcomed my first pet, a rabbit named Snowie, I instinctively gave him the freedom I believed he deserved—roaming the local nature reserve, existing as an equal, just as I saw all beings.
Later in life, when I finally got my first dog, Tunkasila, I was eager to build a relationship based on mutual understanding and respect. But instead of a world that honored a dog’s soul, I was met with rules, training methods, and control-based approaches that dismissed their wisdom and emotions.
It felt wrong, so I stepped away and chose a different path—one of listening, learning, and co-existing in harmony.
I wanted to know what my dog was feeling. I wanted to know who Tunkasila was and how life was for her. I wanted to know what she was telling me. I wanted to know what she came to teach me. I wanted to meet her soul and I wanted to know what her soul was asking, sharing and offering. I wanted to know how I could fulfil both our lives by not only meeting her needs but also listening to her soul wisdom. Here, “why” does not exist. Here, right or wrong does not exist. Here, real truth lies and is allowed. Here we access the wisdom of our own soul, the soul of our canine friends and all of consciousness.
Tunkasila became my greatest teacher. I had already completed my PhD in Conservation Biology after completing my Masters and Zoology degree and, at the time I was working with captive wolves. But, it wasn’t until having a near death experience and, not long after, hitting my absolute low where I considered taking my own life that I began to meet my dog and myself in a different way.
Through her, I began exploring the soul consciousness of animals, their emotional and spiritual needs, and the unseen guidance available to us.
She led me to channelling – her consciousness, to my channelling guides, The Canine People, and to channelling other forms of consciousness including that of other animals. I began to explore deeper spiritual practices that revealed how animals communicate, how to offer healing for their soul, emotions and body, and how they support us on our own healing journeys. I came to understand that dogs, like us, are infinite, divine sacred expressions of consciousness cleverly disguised as dogs that have wisdom to share—if we are willing to listen. I came to realise that our animal friends are inviting us to do one thing – return to ceremony and exist with them as the divine oneness of unconditional love.
Whether through ceremony, energy work, channelling, or intuitive connection, I guide people to meet their dogs in the realm of consciousness where all things are possible.
Our canine friends really are excited for us to co-exist with them again from this place of spirit and soul consciousness.
So, here I am. I am constantly learning, improving, deepening, exploring and shifting my own consciousness and clearing old patterns of conditions, traumas and labels placed on myself and my canine friends so that I can feel more and more clarity when in conversation with consciousness; whether that is for your dog’s soul journey, including their transition, or for your own soul journey.
This is a life long and lives long journey – consciousness is infinite.
This path isn’t about control; it’s about deep trust, presence, and allowing the wisdom of our dogs to unfold. When we open ourselves to this connection, we don’t just transform our relationship with them—we awaken to the infinite, divine nature within ourselves.
All of life, all of consciousness is here to support you and we all have our own allies that do so. I have my own allies that I work with by way of plant spirit allies, spirit animals, nature spirits, light codes, higher beings, soul guides, channelling guides and much more; I have all of consciousness available to me in whatever way it is to show in each moment and you do too.
I am also blessed that I now have the spirit of Tunkasila as an ally now that she has transitioned and becomes both a spirit guide and ancestor for me.
With love, light, and blessings.
