Back when I worked in theatre as a stage manager, I adopted my first dog, Morgan, and in the first weeks I felt he was sad. Having always lived with cats, I’d no idea why he was sad or whether I was doing something wrong.

I attended an animal communication workshop because of the promise it could help me to better understand him. I was skeptical. I thought it was to learn how to read your dog’s body language. It wasn’t. I nearly walked out. But then, in the afternoon, we were paired up and a complete stranger communicated with my cat, Texas, and received correct answers that she couldn’t possibly have known.

I went home feeling curious and eager to practice.

I communicated with Morgan and got to the route of his sadness. He released it, and the change in him and my cat, Texas, was instant; where Texas had been scared of Morgan, he relaxed and appeared to accept that Morgan was now part of the family.

Realizing I could communicate with animals was my lightbulb moment: This is why I’m here. I had already been planning on leaving theatre and going back to my first love…animals…but I had no idea what the job description was, it wasn’t something that was on my radar – until Morgan arrived and became my dog-alyst.

I don’t just communicate with your animal for you; I also teach you how.

My soul’s purpose is to empower the animal kingdom, helping people like you truly connect to animals and awaken to their teachings. We all have this ability in us, but we shut it down as we grow older. I reconnect you to this power, whether you want to do it for your own animal or help friends with theirs.

And, many of my students and clients add this skill on to work they’re already doing with animals: Animal healers, dog walkers, animal rescue organizations, animal therapists, catteries, kennels, you name it. Being able to communicate with the animals takes any work like this to another, more effective level.
