Each animal is different but they are usually eager to talk. Most of the time I will allow the animal tell me what is on his/her mind at the time as sometimes that can be more significant than what their person wants to know. Most of the time they give their own viewpoint whether it be about their lives, the humans or other animals in their life or something that is happening at the time.

Animals have their own priorities which may or may not be the same as their people. This is difficult for many humans to understand. Humans want or expect their animals to feel the same way they do about an event, or person, or other animal or situation. This is simply not fair to the animal. They are animals and therefore have different instincts than humans. They use different sense organs and have different bodily functions which may strongly affect some types of behaviors or attitudes. They have a different sense of time and are more 'in the moment' than humans are. Animals cannot be expected to talk about certain types of human activities that are not applicable to them like the economy or shopping.

Animals can understand and pick up on our thoughts, feelings and certain words. The more clearly the message is sent to the animal, the easier it is for them to understand. This is how they know its 'time for a walk' or 'time to go to the vet.' They can pick up on our thought processes as we go about our lives. Humans form mental pictures in our minds as we process a thought. We also transmit feelings and energy when we are happy, sad, upset, frightened or angry. Animals are sensitive souls and very easily pick up on our messages.

Everyone has the ability to communicate with animals. Some people are more sensitive to sending and receiving telepathic messages than others and therefore are better communicators. First you need the desire to do so. Being open to the process and wanting to improve or enhance the relationship with your animal. It also important to have a deep love and respect for the animals and the best of intentions while communicating. While some people can learn very quickly on their own, others need the support and loving environment of a workshop to develop their confidence. Taking a workshop is the best way to refine your skills and meet some wonderful people in the process.

During your session it will be obvious in the first few messages that we are talking to your animal. The information that comes through will 'ring true' to you as your animal. I ask for very little information from you, sometimes only the animal's name. It will be clearly evident that the animal is providing me with messages that you can validate. If for some reason the messages are unclear, I will ask for clarification until we are certain we have your animal. I do not need to be near the animal for a session. I can work off of a description of the animal or a photo of the animal.

Energy, intention, love and willingness. The animals would not speak to me if they did not want to participate. I connect with them, I focus on their energy as a being, respect and honor them as a soul and send my intention and love to them. The animals have the willingness to want to communicate. Through telepathy, I am able to connect with them and interpret their messages. Animal Communicating is an art, not a science and it is difficult to explain matters that defy scientific explanations. I relate it to the wind. You cannot see the wind, but you can feel it, sense it and watch how things respond to its forces.

Telepathy is defined as 'mind to mind communication.' Anyone is capable of telepathy in fact, we are all born with this ability. As we age, we become programmed to use speech and our telepathic abilities fade. With a little guidance, practice and commitment, telepathy can be easily rekindled.

The word 'psychic' comes from the Greek "psyche," meaning soul or spirit. I communicate with animals who are spiritual beings, having a soul or spirit. I believe there are psychic abilities at use during a session.

Feelings, symbols, words or thoughts, seeing scenes acted out in my mind like a mini-movie playing out. An animal sends messages in many ways. For instance, they sometimes send loving feelings to their humans, when they do there is an overwhelming sense of love and warmth that will wash over me, or go through me almost electrifying in nature. The same applies for other feelings like sadness, insecurity, anger, humiliation, all of these kinds of feelings can come through from the animal. Generally, I hear their words as I speak to them. Their words are very clear and detailed. Sometimes they mention things that cannot be readily validated. When this happens I always ask the person to 'file that away' for later reference.

Many times a person will call me weeks or months after a session and tell me they finally figured out what the 'frog' reference was or the 'water in the grass' message. Animals have also been known to predict things that will act out in future events. Having patience and understanding during a session will enable the animals to speak freely and openly.

I can tell by the connection if the animal is paying attention to me during a session but the proof is the many clients report back to me that an animal's behavior becomes lighter, brighter, less stressed, more attentive or more relaxed. Behavior problems begin to fade or disappear completely. Some clients report gradual improvement while others report more immediate results. I will often ask the animal if they 'hear my words' just to be sure they are listening. They will usually respond positively, although some may be hesitant and require additional counseling.

Yes, animals In Spirit come through just as clear as those that are still living. Although their physical body has expired their energy is still with you. This explains why sometimes we 'see' brief glimpses of them after they have crossed into Spirit, or 'feel' them lying against us at night, or 'hear' their tags or footsteps. Animals that are In Spirit have many messages for us, mostly about love, lessons learned and forgiveness. Many people have positive, life changing experiences when they receive messages from their animals In Spirit. The bonds of love are eternal ~ they never die.

Animal communicators can help in various ways. Common behavior problems can be frustrating for everyone. Whether you are experiencing aggression problems, litter box use or some other issue, we all struggle from time to time. An animal communicator can help find out why the animal is behaving a certain way. Understanding an animal's perspective can give light to existing problems or dilemmas. Although an animal communicator cannot alter an animal's behavior, understanding why the behavior is happening is the first step to a peaceful, harmonious resolution.

Animal communicating should never be a substitute or alternative for regular veterinarian care, proper nutrition or healthy exercise. I do not diagnose illnesses or recommend treatments but I can ask where an animal feels pain, discomfort or if they are feeling better. This can be helpful to you and your veterinarian in certain situations.

There's probably no worse moment than the one when you realize your beloved friend is not answering your call and isn't coming home. The requests for help finding lost animals are some of the most heart-wrenching letters and calls that I receive.

The first thing you should do as difficult as it may seem is to calm yourself. Since your animals respond to you from your emotional centers all that fear and anxiety you're projecting can interfere with a communicator's ability to tune in for you - and with your pet's ability to "zone in" on you and find their way home.

Walk your neighborhood or the area where the animal was last seen, calling their name loudly - and in your mind. The vibration of the call seems be as important in communicating as your voice is. (If your pet is frightened, this calling often gives them the courage to come out of hiding and find their way home.)

Visualize your home as a huge light beacon and mentally send that image to your pet - often!

Consciously send images of love and your warm inviting home out to them can also help them to pick up on your 'etheric scent,' to find their way home.

Post signs throughout your neighborhood, at the local pet shops, and at the local vets.

Sadly, under certain circumstances, even the best professionals can have serious problems connecting with a lost animal. The longer the animal is away, the more difficult it is to pick up their vibration - and if someone has stolen the pet, or the pet has deliberately chosen a new owner for some reason, an animal communicator may be confronted by further difficulties - a type of smoke screen that can block messages.

The success stories keep me accepting the calls and doing my best to help find lost animals, but too often I have to explain to my clients that our animal companions come to teach us important lessons in life - and sometimes these lessons are about learning to accept our losses and move on.

Whatever the reason for an animal's disappearance, you can be assured it has purpose, that your animal companion was ultimately involved in making the decision to go at that time, and that the animal may have left a message for you. The circumstances of the disappearance and the timing are clues to the message.

Communicating with the missing animal can help you determine why they have left at this particular time and what their message is, but doesn't always guarantee that they'll come home.

When they return, celebrate with them, and if they don't - have courage, celebrate their life, let go with love, and move on.

I charge a higher fee for these calls due to the amount of time, effort, energy and repeat sessions involved.

If you contact me or any other animal communicator to assist you with your lost animal please remember to respect them by honoring their boundaries of working hours and the fees you agree to pay for your use of their time and energy.

Although some communicators do provide free services for certain situations, most make their living with the work they do, and cannot afford, energetically or financially, to be available 24 hours a day or to work at no charge. As much as they may be committed and dedicated to help you, they can only do so much.

Just as you are expected to pay your veterinarian, even when you don't like the news you receive or when you receive after hours emergency help, please be prepared to pay your animal communicator for his or her services.

I am not representing a guarantee that the session or interpretation is correct or that you will achieve particular results, or that the messages will work for your situation. I offer the session with the intention that it may be helpful based on what I believe the animal has relayed to me, as an animal communicator.

When I perform an animal communication, I am working with energies. What I receive during the communication is an energetic message from the animal, which I interpret for you. I will do so only at your request and my intentions are always of a higher purpose. I am here to assist both you and your animal companion without judgment or opinion of the session. I simply inquire with the animal about the questions or concerns you have asked me to inquire about and enable you to receive the message intended solely for you, in the hope that this is helpful to you both.

My role is that of an interpreter/translator, assisting your animals to convey their thoughts, feelings and emotions so you can better understand their perspective. It is a rare occurrence but sometimes a client is not happy with the session. This can occur when I cannot achieve the desired connection or when the clients are unable to open their minds to the animals' perspective and see things from a different point of view. I cannot control what the animals say or feel, but if I cannot achieve what I determine to be the desired results for any session I will not ask for payment. I want you to be completely satisfied with your session and the experience. The bottom line here is I want you to be happy. I will do my best to make sure that happens.
