Loving AnimALs:
CONVERSATIONS WITH AN ANIMAL COMMUNICATOR
Do you ever wonder what your animal is thinking and feeling? Are there behavior issues you’re trying to solve? Are there several animals in your household and would you like to understand their dynamics? Are you struggling with end of life decisions? Do you have questions about rescued and adopted animals?
I studied with the pioneer in animal communication, Penelope Smith. I love being a professional animal communicator, so I wrote a book called Loving Animals: Conversations with an Animal Communicator. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the book are donated to animal rescue organizations. Here are some excerpts from the book.
Q: How do you communicate with animals?
A: The connection is telepathic. Everything is energy. I am a channel. My body feel the sensations that your animal is feeling through images, words, taste, sensations, and feelings. Sometimes it’s just a “knowing.” I do consultations on the telephone. It’s important that I identify a quality or some qualities about the client’s animal, to make sure I’m talking to the right animal.
One client had a dog who was fourteen years old. I told the clients, “Your dog has a puppy personality, frisky and running around.” The client confirmed that this was exactly what her dog was like.
Sometimes my mouth becomes dry before I call a client. When I spoke to one client, I felt her cat was very dehydrated and knew it was urgent that she take her cat to the vet to be hydrated, which she did after our consultation. She emailed me later that day, that the vet agreed that her cat needed immediate hydration.
Q: What type of animals have you worked with?
A: I’ve worked with dogs, cats, horses, ferrets, hedgehogs, pigs, llamas, alpacas, bearded dragon lizards, donkeys, mules, mice, rats, parrots, rabbits, goldfish, birds (parakeets, pelicans, seagulls, cockatoos, owls, blue herons, cockatiels, loons, hens, chickens), a steer, and insects including Winter 2022 wasps, flies, spiders, and ants. There might be more, but I can’t remember then all.
Q: I would like to know more about end-of-life chats and how to know when my animal has had enough.
A: A clients will want to know if their animal is in pain. I do a body scan and let the person know if their animal is in pain. Many animals aren’t ready to transition and some are. Often the clients senses it’s time and wants me to ask the animal how they feel about it. I’m just the channel to let the client know how their animal is feeling and what they want.
Q: Do animals get excited when they are talking to you?
A: Yes. Sometimes the animal gets so excited to be asked what they want, that the animal talks so fast, that I hardly have time to tell the client everything the animal is saying. So I have to slow the animal down, which is sometimes challenging. I start laughing and say the client, “Hold on, your dog us just talking so fast. Let me tell you what he’s saying.”
Q: Do animals like to communicate with us?
A: Yes. They love it. Wouldn’t you love communicating what you want and need to someone and really have them listen to you?
