Batman (me) and Robin (Andy) - the dynamic duo
Being sensitive
I’ve always loved animals.
As a child, I felt they were more consistent, tolerant, and kind. I would marvel that our animal family was willing to withstand human imbalances and kept coming back with love! Andy, our family dog, was my best friend, confidante, and Robin to my Batman.
I’ve always been aware of the energy in us and around us.
From an early age, I could see light glowing around my hands and around other people, and could feel others emotions so strongly I’d sometimes confuse them with my own. When I was young I had no idea what to do with what I was sensing so I covered it up, not sharing for fear of being dismissed or teased.
But as I grew older I realized other people were having these amazing experiences as well. And some were using their intuitive senses and working with these energies professionally in order to help people.
Yay! Finally I wasn’t alone. Excitement, curiosity and a sense of relief has fueled my journey for the past 20+ years.
As I learned to trust my intuition, it led me to a deeper understanding about how we are all connected—humans, animals, nature—with the universe.
My teachers -
Hockey Puck & Morris
Seeking knowledge
Seeking spiritual knowledge and a deeper understanding of the universe led me to my teachers, who continue to guide and challenge me.
In 1999 I met Paul Fraser, a renowned healer and medical qigong teacher, and he opened my eyes regarding how to heal myself and others. In 2001, Paul introduced me to his, and now my, beloved teacher Master Ou Wen Wei. I continue to study with Master Ou today, and became certified to teach both the moving and nonmoving qigong forms created by Master Ou called Pangu Shengong in 2003 and 2008. I apply his profound method of Qi energy healing when working with people and animals.
When our cat Morris passed away in 2011 I connected with Marcia Zais, who became my first animal communication mentor and teacher. She helped me understand that our animals are here to help us, and we are very deliberately in each others lives. Morris taught me that animals want a choice about their health and medical treatment, that they realize what is happening and if it is time for their soul to move out of the body.
When my soul cat, Hockey Puck, passed away in 2017 I was heartbroken. He was truly the animal love of my life. Hockey Puck taught me many lessons about how to conduct myself, handle my emotions, and to trust my growing intuition. I knew he was trying to communicate with me on another level but at the time, I couldn’t quite grasp the details. With his spiritual guidance I found my second mentor and teacher, Danielle MacKinnon, and through her school became certified as a Soul Level Animal Communicator® and Soul Level Intuitive Coach®. Now I help others to open up their own intuition as a teaching assistant for the school.
In my professional practice I use my innate ability to connect with animals and the Guides in order to share healing soul messages with people. And with that comes the added benefit of being able to connect with Hockey Puck, and all my beloved animals in spirit as they continue to guide me.
Animals are our partners and here to help us, we are very deliberately in each others lives.
Helping animals and their humans
This work has changed my life and has changed how I view life. It is a calling. The Guides and Animals led the way and I now do this work full time.
As an Animal Communicator, I help your animals share who they are, how they feel, why they chose you, and how their actions are part of the lessons they are teaching. I also have the sacred honor of supporting you as we gain an understanding about your animal’s transition, when it is time to pass, and how they are doing in spirit.
As a Soul Level Coach, I connect with the Spirit Guides to help you access a deeper understanding of yourself, your limiting patterns and how to feel empowered to make healthier decisions in your life.
As a Pangu Shengong Instructor and Energy Healer, I show you how to cultivate healing lifeforce for yourself and your animals. And I support you and your animals with energy treatments to continue to help foster healing and soul connection.
AND! The animals guided me to found a volunteer organization called The Animal Communication Collective®. A true collective of beautiful, like-minded professionally certified animal communicators who have all come together and volunteer their time. Together we raise funds for animal welfare organizations all over the world! Our mission is simple - help give animals a voice through online and in-person fundraising events, and help bring awareness to humans about animals.
