Description
Hi, I’m Birdy. It is lovely to meet you! I'm a coach, dognerd and a clinical psychologist. Our specialty is that we focus on dog owners and use their dog as a vital part in the coaching process. Curious? Check us out: www.pawsinlife.com.au.
"Hi, we are Birdy & Luna, founders of Paws In Life Coaching."
You are probably checking this site to get a bit more information about who we are, and why Paws In Life exists.
First, let me introduce the Chief Canine Officer of Paws In Life, Luna. Luna is a whirlwind of life and is always up for some fun and shenanigans. She is a world expert in chasing air raisins (aka "flies"), her middle name is "fart blossom" as she can clear a room in a second, and overall gives the best cuddles in the world. Luna is an old soul and has experienced a lot in her life, some of it quite challenging. Luna taught me a lot about myself, and showed me how challenging, but also how fun dog training can be. Seh is my dream dog. Having paws in your life is a real asset and thus, I want to use dogs in my coaching and therapy sessions. So your dog becomes a coaching tool.
My name is Birdy (Birgit) O'Sheedy and I'm a clinical psychologist, dog-nerd and life coach based in Sydney. I'm currently completing my NDTF (National Dog Trainers Federation) course with a focus on companion animals. My strength as a coach and dog trainer is to help you deepen your bond with your dog, and consequently boost your overall well-being and mind space. Paws In Life Coaching is using your dog as a co-therapist in your sessions. I'm a big fan of evidence-based methods and have trained in quite a few methods world-wide (e.g. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Compassion Focused Therapy, and Schema Therapy). I have always been fascinated with behaviour and how to change behaviour to gain more quality of life, despite tricky life circumstances. Especially if we can incorporate your own personal dog as as co-therapist. I've also held international workshops and presentations about burnout prevention, and how to be resilient when life is very different to what you have expected it to be.
Our mission is to offer workshops, individual coaching sessions and seminars to help people live the life they want. And we are specialising in dog owners and if possible, use their dog as a co-therapist.
Feel free to message us if you have any questions or check our homepage out: www.pawsinlife.com.au
Love, Birdy & Luna

The road to resilience
I'm currently a little bit obsessed in reading articles about how to create resilience in people. We always tend to focus on fixing things or things that are not great. But how do you create a resilient person in this crazy thing called life? I enjoyed reading this article today as it has practical advice: http://www.apa.org/helpcenter/road-resilience.aspx
The Paws In Life crew had an amazing weekend dognerding at the "Art of Engagement" workshop by Tammy from Precise K9 and Sharonika from Clear Canine. It is just such an awesome feeling when you surround yourself with people that are fearless in the pursuit on what sets their soul on fire. Pure magic. Thank you everybody who made this weekend so much fun! xo
