The Falconry Business
I started a Falconry business, having clients who would buy experiences for themselves or their loved ones, and I found that they too would achieve a sense of peace by just being near myself and my birds. They would tell me their life stories and some of them were very traumatic.
One particular young lad came out to spend time with me and the birds, his mum bought him the experience and just told me he loved birds of prey, and at that time was not in a good place, it didn’t take him long to feel safe in my company and over a cup of coffee he told me his story, he was shy and had been bullied and so dropped out of university. Each day he came back, and I saw his confidence grow. Seeing these changes made my decision to train as a Counsellor, the easiest decision I’ve ever made.
Few Years Later…
A few years later, that same young man came back for a refresher day, and over lunch he told me that if it hadn’t been for me, my patience, and confidence in finding someone he felt safe to talk to, he wouldn’t be where he was at that time. He had gone back to university and qualified, got himself a good job and was now living in London He also travels all over the world with his job! This confirmed to me that I was most definitely on the right path.
