I offer professional animal communication sessions for people who want a deeper understanding of their animal companions. My sessions are available for dogs, cats, horses, farm animals, birds, exotic pets, and other animals—whether they are living or have passed into spirit.
During a session, I connect intuitively with your animal to help explore topics such as:
Behavior concerns
Emotional well-being
Changes in the home or family
Relationships with people or other animals
Health and wellness concerns (from an intuitive perspective and never as a substitute for veterinary care)
End-of-life support and hospice guidance
Communication with animals who have passed
Finding lost pets (when appropriate)
Understanding your animal's life purpose, personality, and unique perspective
Sessions are available by phone or Google Meet, with in-person appointments available by request for clients in the Port Townsend and the Olympic Peninsula area.
My goal is to help strengthen the bond between you and your animal through compassionate, respectful communication that offers insight, healing, and greater understanding.
-
Getting started is easy!
Schedule your session using my online booking calendar.
After booking, you'll receive a confirmation email with all the details for your appointment.
You don't need to tell me anything about your animal compaion.
Before we meet, take a few moments to think about any questions or topics you'd like to explore. You are welcome to write them down.
At your scheduled time, we'll connect by phone or Google Meet (or in person, if we've pre-arranged).
You don't need to prepare your animal in any special way. Animals choose how they would like to participate, and I approach every session with respect, compassion, and an open heart.
Whether you're seeking guidance, reassurance, healing, or simply a deeper connection with your animal companion, I look forward to sharing this experience with you.
-
Every session is unique because every animal has their own personality, perspective, and way of communicating.
We begin by talking briefly about what the session will look like. I then connect intuitively with your animal and share the thoughts, feelings, images, emotions, or messages I receive. Throughout the session, I encourage you to respond with "yes," "no," or "maybe" as we explore the information together.
Animals often share insights about their emotions, relationships, preferences, behaviors, life experiences, and the people they love. They may also offer their own wisdom, humor, or unique perspective on situations in their lives.
You are welcome to ask questions throughout the session. Common topics include behavior changes, emotional well-being, introducing new animals, end-of-life support, connecting with animals who have passed, or simply gaining a deeper understanding of your companion.
Sessions are conducted in a relaxed, respectful, and judgment-free environment. My intention is to help strengthen the bond between you and your animal by creating greater understanding, compassion, and connection.
Please note that animal communication is an intuitive practice and is not a substitute for veterinary care, medical treatment, diagnosis, or behavioral training. If your animal has a medical concern, I always recommend consulting a licensed veterinarian.
-
You can ask almost anything! Every session is guided by your questions, your animal's willingness to communicate, and what they feel is most important to share.
Some common topics include:
Why has my animal's behavior changed?
Is there something they're trying to tell me?
Are they happy?
How do they feel about another pet or family member?
What are they afraid of?
Why are they anxious or stressed?
Is there anything they need from me?
How can I better support them?
How are they adjusting to a move, new baby, or other life change?
What is their favorite activity or place?
How do they feel about training, travel, or daily routines?
Is now the right time to welcome another animal into our family?
What would they like me to know before they transition?
Sometimes your animal answers exactly what you've asked. Other times, they choose to share something entirely unexpected that turns out to be exactly what you needed to hear. I always honor your animal's free will and communicate the messages they choose to share with honesty, compassion, and respect.
There are no "perfect" questions. Come with curiosity, an open heart, and a desire to better understand your animal companion. Together, we'll explore whatever is most meaningful for both of you.

Every animal communicator has their own unique approach. My intention is to create an intuitive session that is grounded in integrity, compassion, and genuine connection.
I ask for very little information before we begin because I want the communication to unfold naturally, without being influenced by details about your animal or your situation. This allows me to share what I receive as authentically as possible.
Throughout the session, I encourage you to respond with "yes," "no," or "maybe." This creates a collaborative experience where we explore the messages together while allowing you to validate what resonates with you.
I believe animals have their own voice, wisdom, and free will. Rather than trying to control the conversation, I honor what your animal chooses to share. Sometimes they answer your questions directly, and other times they bring forward messages that become the most meaningful part of the session.
Whether your animal is living or has passed into spirit, my goal is always the same—to help deepen understanding, strengthen your relationship, and create a space where healing, compassion, and connection can naturally unfold.
Every session is conducted in a supportive, judgment-free environment and is recorded so you can revisit the messages and insights whenever you need them. description

Yes! I offer several options so you can choose the format that feels most comfortable for you.
Google Meet (Zoom-style video call): This is my most popular option and allows us to connect face-to-face from anywhere in the world.
Phone sessions: If you prefer not to use video, I'm happy to conduct your session over the phone.
In-person sessions: Available by request for clients on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, depending on location and scheduling.
No matter which format you choose, the quality of the animal communication is the same. I connect with your animal intuitively, so we do not need to be in the same physical location for a meaningful and insightful session.
If you're unsure which option is best, I'm happy to help you choose the one that best fits your needs.
-
I offer two session options:
30-Minute Animal Communication Session:$100
60-Minute Animal Communication Session:$150
Both session lengths include a compassionate, intuitive connection with your animal and time for your questions.
If you're unsure which session length is right for you, I generally recommend:
30 minutes for follow up sessions.
60 minutes if you'd like to explore multiple topics in greater depth, communicate with more than one animal, or allow extra time for discussion and follow-up questions.

No. You do not need to believe in animal communication or intuition—or even fully understand it—to have a meaningful session.
Many of my clients come to their animal communication session with an open mind but plenty of questions. Some are curious, some are skeptical, and others simply love their animals and want to explore a different way of connecting with them. All are welcome.
My invitation is simply to approach the experience with curiosity rather than expectation. Listen to the messages, notice what resonates, and decide for yourself what feels meaningful. My role is to communicate what I receive with honesty, compassion, and integrity.
Whether you leave the session with confirmation, new insights, healing, or simply a deeper appreciation for your relationship with your animal, my hope is that you feel supported and more connected than when you arrived.
-
No. Your animal companion does not need to be physically with you for an animal communication session.
Animal communication is an intuitive form of communication that is not limited by distance. Whether your animal is at home, at a boarding facility, with a family member, at the veterinarian, or even living in another state or country, I am able to connect with them during our scheduled session.
Many of my clients book sessions while they are at work, traveling, or when their horse is at a boarding stable. Others schedule sessions with animals who have passed into spirit. Physical proximity is not necessary for me to establish an intuitive connection.
If your animal companion is available, you are welcome to have them nearby during our session, but it is not required. Some animals choose to stay close, while others continue their normal activities. Each animal participates in their own unique way.
My role is to respectfully connect with your animal, share the thoughts, emotions, images, and messages I receive, and help deepen the understanding and bond between you—no matter where your animal is physically located.
-
Yes. You are welcome to ask questions about your animal companion's health and well-being during our session.
Animals often share their thoughts, feelings, emotions, and experiences related to what they are going through. They may communicate how they are feeling, what brings them comfort, or what they would like you to understand about their experience. These insights can provide a deeper understanding of your animal companion and help strengthen the bond you share.
However, animal communication is an intuitive spiritual practice and is not a substitute for veterinary care. I do not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe treatments, or replace the advice of a licensed veterinarian.
If I receive information related to your animal companion's physical or emotional well-being, I will share it with honesty and compassion. I encourage you to use those insights as one piece of the larger picture and to discuss any medical concerns with your veterinarian.
My intention is always to support you and your animal companion by fostering greater understanding, connection, and informed care.
-
Yes. I believe that the bond we share with our animals continues beyond their physical lives, and I am honored to offer sessions with animals who have passed away.
Many people seek these sessions to find comfort, healing, closure, or simply to reconnect with a beloved companion. During a session, your animal may share memories, messages, their perspective on your time together, or simply the love they continue to hold for you.
Every experience is unique. Just as with living animals, I cannot predict what an animal will choose to communicate. I approach each session with respect, compassion, and an open heart, allowing your animal to share what they feel is most meaningful.
Whether you are grieving a recent loss or reconnecting with a cherished companion from years ago, my intention is to create a safe, supportive space where healing, understanding, and love can unfold.
-
This is one of the most common questions I receive, and it's a thoughtful one.
Animal communication is an intuitive spiritual practice, and each person's experience is unique. Rather than asking you to simply believe what I share, I encourage you to listen with an open mind and decide for yourself what feels meaningful and accurate.
Throughout the session, I invite you to respond with "yes," "no," or "maybe" as I share what I receive. Often, animal companions communicate details about their personalities, relationships, preferences, experiences, or behaviors that you recognize immediately. Other messages may not make sense until later, and occasionally an animal companion will share something that is meaningful to another member of the family.
My goal is never to convince you of anything. My role is to communicate what I receive with honesty, compassion, and integrity, while honoring your animal companion's unique perspective and free will.
Whether a session brings confirmation, comfort, healing, or a new way of understanding your relationship, I hope it helps deepen the bond you share with your animal companion. I encourage every client to trust their own heart, intuition, and experience when reflecting on the messages they receive.
-
That's perfectly okay. In fact, many of the most meaningful animal communication sessions begin without a list of questions.
Some people schedule a session simply because they want to deepen their relationship with their animal companion, better understand them, or hear whatever their animal wishes to share.
If you don't have specific questions, I will begin by connecting with your animal companion and inviting them to communicate what feels most important. Animals often share their thoughts, emotions, preferences, experiences, or messages that are meaningful to both of you.
As the session unfolds, questions naturally arise, and you're always welcome to ask them at any time.
Whether you come with a page full of questions or simply an open heart and a desire to connect, your session will unfold in the way that best serves you and your animal companion.
