I was born with the ability to communicate with animals but it wasn't something that was encouraged in my family. It wasn't until I adopted a severely abused dog that I began tuning back into those long buried skills. In order to help this precious dog, I studied energy healing (reiki and other modalities), the mind/body connection, and explored a whole host of alternative treatments, such as herbs, supplements, flower essences, etc. I did everything I could to help her recover from the trauma she had experienced and live the life she was meant to live. Through that process, I began sharing what I learned with others and ended up starting my Animal Communication and Energy healing business. Given how hard it was to stumble my way through our final chapters together (trying to figure out the "what to do" "when to do it?" and the "how do I do this?") plus how gut-wrenching it was for me to say goodbye to her, I knew I wanted this to be a focus of my business. There was a lack of information available, which made it even more challenging to find my way. Therefore, I knew I wanted to help other animal guardians through this very tender and often confusing and overwhelming time.

What makes me a bit different is that when I connect with an animal's energy, I literally feel what they are feeling in my own body. If they are anxious I feel that in my body, as if it is my own anxiety. If they have pain in a certain place in their body, I feel that too.

While I am connected with their energy, I can speak to them. Their "replies" come in a variety of forms. Sometimes they send me pictures telepathically, sometimes they give me words or phrases, and I also receive intuitive information. I put all of that together, along with what I am picking up (physically and emotionally) and it forms an "answer" to a question or provides an in-depth view of what is going on with your animal. My clients often refer to their sessions with me as a "reading" because they get so much information. (The "answers" I get are usually quite complex, as there often isn't just one component to their response.)

I work remotely and my connection with your pet is through a picture. We are not "on line" at the time of the session. I connect with your pet at a time when you know they will be in a quiet environment and work with the questions and/or concerns the guardian during the session.

After the session, I type of the notes and send them to you via email. That way you can refer back to them and not have to keep track of everything that was shared. (I find this is especially helpful when navigating the challenges of an aging pet - it is such an emotional time and it helps to have notes to go back and refer to).

I offer both Animal Communication and Energy healing. Here is a blog I wrote that gives more detail about how I work. https://healinganimaltruths.blogspot.com/2026/08/animal-communication-and-energy.html

I am also a certified coach and provide coaching to people who are at this emotional and pivotal stage of their journey. Whether it is while their pet is still here and they are having to make difficult decisions or after a pet has crossed over and the guardian is looking for emotional support. I am known for being deeply compassionate and understanding, no matter where you are in your process. I am a soft and supportive place for people to talk and be heard. I don't tell people what to do and if information comes through intuitively, I ask if you would like to hear it before I share. Respecting and honoring guardians (and their pets) are my utmost priority.
