Meet Leia
Animal Communicator, Intuitive, Medium, and lifelong animal lover dedicated to helping people deepen their relationship with their animal companions.
For as long as I can remember, animals have been my greatest teachers. They have shown me the power of quiet listening, unconditional love, and the remarkable ways they communicate when we are willing to slow down and truly pay attention. Today, I have the privilege of helping people from around the world better understand and deepen the relationships they share with their animal companions through compassionate animal communication.
My Story
Animals had been speaking to my heart for as long as I can remember. Over time, that quiet calling became impossible to ignore. I began studying animal communication, developing my intuitive abilities, and deepening my connection with the animals who have been some of my greatest teachers.
Having left a 30+ year career that had been such a significant part of my life wasn't easy. But following my heart led me exactly where I was meant to be. Looking back, I realize I wasn't leaving something behind—I was finally stepping into the work I was always meant to do.
Today, I have the privilege of helping people from around the world better understand the thoughts, emotions, and experiences of their animal companions. While every session begins with listening to what an animal companion wants to share, it often unfolds into something much deeper. I believe every animal companion comes into our lives for a reason, and together we explore not only their messages, but also the soul-level connection you share, the purpose of your relationship, and the lessons you are here to discover together. Every session is a reminder that animals have their own wisdom, their own perspectives, and an extraordinary capacity to teach us about love, trust, forgiveness, and living fully in the present moment.

My greatest hope is that you leave each animal communication session feeling more connected, more peaceful, and with a deeper appreciation for the remarkable relationship you share with your animal companion.
What It's Like to Work With Me
When you schedule an animal communication session with me, my hope is that you'll feel comfortable, supported, and completely yourself. This is a space where curiosity is welcomed, emotions are honored, and there is no pressure to have all the answers.
This work is incredibly meaningful to me, but that doesn't mean our sessions are always serious.
Each animal has a unique personality, their own perspective, and sometimes a delightful sense of humor. They can be playful, opinionated, wise, and incredibly loving. Some sessions are deeply emotional, while others leave us laughing together. Many include both.
It isn't uncommon for tears to be part of a session—sometimes yours, and sometimes mine. I believe those moments reflect the depth of the connection we share with our animal companions and the love that exists between us. Whether we are celebrating, grieving, finding clarity, or simply appreciating the remarkable beings who share our lives, I honor every emotion that arises with compassion and respect.
My role is simply to listen with an open heart, communicate honestly what I receive, and help create a deeper understanding between you and your animal companion. Whether we explore questions about behavior, relationships, life transitions, or an animal companion in spirit, I approach every session with compassion, respect, and genuine curiosity.
The animals, plants, and the living world are not separate from us or here for us—they are fellow beings walking beside us, gently inviting us to remember who we truly are and how to live with love, curiosity, presence, and trust.

My Journey, Training & Experience
Every animal companion I meet deserves my very best, which is why I have dedicated myself to ongoing study, practice, and personal growth. I believe learning is a lifelong journey, and I continue to deepen both my intuitive abilities and my understanding of animal communication.
My journey has included training with many of the most respected teachers in the field, including Penelope Smith, Danielle MacKinnon, and Suzanne Giesemann. I am also a certified Usui Reiki Level II Practitioner, Animal Reiki Level II Practitioner, and Shamanic Reiki Master.
Today, I have the privilege of working with clients from around the world, helping people better understand and deepen the relationships they share with their animal companions. Every session continues to teach me something new, and every animal companion reminds me that there is always more to learn.
While my education has provided a strong foundation, I believe my greatest teachers have always been the animals themselves. Their honesty, wisdom, humor, and unconditional love continue to inspire both my work and my life.

Life on the Farm
When I'm not connecting with clients, you'll usually find me outside caring for the animals who share my life. My days are spent with sheep, alpacas, chickens, livestock guardian dogs, and the countless wild birds and animals that also call our farm home.
Living so closely with animals has taught me that every species communicates in its own unique way. Each day brings new opportunities to observe, listen, and learn. Whether I'm caring for the guardian dog, sitting quietly with an alpaca, or simply watching the interactions within the flock, I'm continually reminded that animals have so much to teach us when we're willing to pay attention.
The farm isn't just where I live—it's where I continue learning from my greatest teachers every single day. The experiences I have here naturally become part of every animal communication session, helping me understand each animal companion with greater compassion, curiosity, and respect.
I feel incredibly grateful to share my life with these remarkable beings, and I believe they have shaped not only the work I do, but the person I have become.

I'd Love to Meet You and Your Animal Companion
Whether you're hoping to better understand your companion animal, navigate a difficult decision, reconnect with an animal in spirit, or simply deepen the bond you already share, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
Every session begins with curiosity, compassion, and an open heart. I look forward to meeting you and your animal companions.
You May be Wondering
Why did you become an animal communicator?
After spending more than 30 years in a corporate career, I felt called to follow a very different path—one centered on animals, intuition, and helping people deepen the relationships they share with their animal companions. Today, I consider it an honor to help others discover the wisdom, love, and purpose within those extraordinary bonds.
