Let's Have A Chat!

As you know by now, I am sharing animals' voices, opinions, insights, and needs. In each phone session or barn call, each podcast I record, and each article I write, I am expressing something the animals have taught us humans. Because of it, we get to understand our animals better and have a perspective on their life we wouldn’t know without them sharing it with us.
Experiencing a truth is one thing … standing in it and speaking it is a bigger task.
Listen in as I share how standing in our animal's truth can be challenging, and also rewarding.

If you are an adult and still love horses you probably have one. Or you work with horses, or you take care of horses. And, like so many of us, the moment we engage with horses as adults, we lose a little bit of the girl-like quality we brought to the barn when we were younger. 

In this episode, I invite you to go back to that feeling and the energy you brought to the barn when you were young. I share how you can connect with the horses the way you did when you were young!

I bet you are an animal communicator. You might not have a shingle out, but you speak with and speak up for your animals regularly. 
Listen as I describe what we think of as animal communication (telepathic communication) and what it means beyond that definition. You might recognize yourself and feel affirmed. And … you might also hear a few ideas that will spark you to explore more and go deeper into animal communication.

​In recent months, I have been driving up and down the highways quite a bit​ , and I would see five, six, seven, and sometimes eight hawks.

​
One day, I told one of the hawks," I love it that so many of you are making yourself visible. And I wonder if there is a reason behind it?"

The hawk answered, "We're friends along the way."
With the words came feelings of heartfelt energy and a visual that showed me that the birds were aware of my driving back and forth. I was not alone. I had friends along the way. And so do you!

I love to connect with animals in profound and magical ways. I love that my dog is not just a dog, my horse is not just a horse, and my cat is not just a cat. They are my soul partners who I have conversations with. Who I love to hang out with, and who are my best friends.

Your animals want the same for you.
This is not a cookie-cutter mentorship where I put together some pearls of wisdom I gathered along the forestry path. No, this is your animals mentoring you because they know you best, they want your best, and they are the best to teach you. And I, the guide by your side, will add my decades of coaching, animal communication, energy healing, and plant medicine knowledge to facilitate a unique and specially tailored experience for you.

As a pup, Scout and his siblings were found in a field in the South. Once, Scout showed me how he and his older brother caught mice to feed their mini family. It took an effort to get food.

Do you have an animal in your life because s/he didn't let you go? When we're open and curious and trust our intuition, even if the rest of the world thinks we're crazy about needing this particular animal in our life, we must trust those feelings. Because they lead us to profound connections. The ones that don't let us go are the ones that bring us home. Again and again.

I explained to my client that it is essential for Wiz, the cat, to experience the extent of the message, “NO! Do not touch the dog.”

When we interrupt the behavior so the cat moves off, we need to give him a chance to think about it. If we pick him up because we feel bad, he becomes unsure why we interrupted his actions with the dog in the first place. The message is mixed. 

Hey, don't do that.

Move off.

Hey, I am sorry. I didn’t mean to push you off.

It’s confusing.

But, if we allow our cat to go away so he can process the interactions, we give him a chance to learn. He will realize that you interrupted the behavior because you want him to mind his business. That's all you're doing. Like mama-cat would say, “Hey, enough with the shenanigans, I want peace in the house. Mind your own business."

Looking at the photos of the two cats, I immediately sensed that Maisie was the one I needed to focus on first. I sensed she was unhappy about the other cat Holly coming into her space. Holly felt like a foreign object in her life.

The floodgates opened when the woman said that Maisie’s brother had died. A wave of loss and grief washed over me. When it ebbed, I felt a tiny sense of hope. Maisie had not given up that her brother would come back. I explained to her that, unfortunately, he would not come back physically. I felt how my statement crushed Maisie’s heart.

This horse was not communicating.
While the other horses had stood by the door, eager to get the conversation going, this particular horse was mum.
After a few breaths, I asked the horse if he had anything to say about his situation. Another breath went by before he spoke up.
“I do not understand why she would hire someone to talk to me when she knows the answer herself.”

Getting your animal prepared for boarding while you're on vacation is critical. In addition, getting your animal ready for a herd of family and friends arriving at your house is equally important. I am providing a few tips to get you and your furry ready for it all.

My grey mare needed a melanoma removed. From the underside of her tail. Understanding what Shana was about to go through, anesthesia, cutting into her tail, recovering from the overall and local anesthetic, and then healing an open wound that did not allow for stitches, I wanted to set her up for success. So I brought my pendulum, essences, and oils into the yard to check in with the herd. Who between Shana and the boys needed a Chakra balance? We had to be a balanced bunch to set our girl up for success.

Following ease and what your body truly desires is such a delicious and rare occurrence.
The animals are directing us to experience the moment. To BE in the experience. To HOLD ourselves in the experience rather than letting our mind process everything immediately.
For example, taking a picture of a moment and immediately witnessing it, or posting it - rather than experiencing it - keeps you out of the now. And with that out of the conenction. Let’s connect!

While it takes most of us about 30 minutes on a massage table to calm our minds so we can receive and enjoy a treatment, most animals are already there. The moment the energy comes their way, they receive it. Sometimes, within minutes they received everything they needed.
What does that mean for professionals who are offering energy healing, body, or any kind of training to an animal?
Listen in to get the answer.
