“Animals do speak; but only to those who know how to listen”

As far back as I can remember animals have been at the forefront of how I experience the world.  In fact, as someone who was bullied a lot as a young child; animals were truly my best friends.  They comforted me when I was upset, played when friends were scarce, and never left me feeling alone…ever.  Animals made me a better human.  It was this consistent, unconditional love that inspired me to forever make them part of my life’s work. I wanted (and needed) to give back to the creatures that were always by my side and asked nothing in return, but kindness.

If you had asked me years ago where life would lead, I never would have imagined that my greatest teachers would be the animals themselves.

Like so many meaningful journeys, mine wasn't something I planned—it unfolded through a series of extraordinary synchronicities, quiet nudges from the universe, and the unwavering guidance of the animals who have always walked beside me. Looking back now, I can see that every step, every experience, and every unexpected turn was preparing me for the work I do today.

My path began in a very different world. I studied Forensics and Forensic Psychology, driven by a desire to understand behavior, seek truth, and help those who could not speak for themselves. That passion eventually led me into animal welfare, where I spent more than 25 years working in animal shelters in a variety of roles including adoptions, animal behavior, veterinary medicine, humane law enforcement, and animal care.

Those years changed me forever.

I witnessed incredible resilience, heartbreaking loss, unconditional forgiveness, and a depth of love that only animals can teach. Every frightened dog, every neglected horse, every abandoned cat, and every joyful adoption reinforced what my heart had always known—that animals experience life with profound emotion, wisdom, and purpose. They have voices that deserve to be heard.

Then another unexpected door opened.

I met a Reiki Master who introduced me to energy healing, and together we began offering Reiki to shelter animals through the PHUR Program. Watching anxious, fearful animals soften and begin to heal through compassionate energy work awakened something deep within me. It reminded me that healing reaches far beyond what we can see.

That experience led me to explore my own intuitive abilities. I joined human mediumship practice circles, believing that was where my journey was taking me.

But the animals had other plans.

Again and again, they gently redirected me back to them.

The signs became impossible to ignore.

One of the greatest guides on this journey was my beloved dog, Johnny. Even after his passing, our soul-to-soul connection never ended. His love, guidance, and unmistakable presence became one of the greatest catalysts in my spiritual awakening. Johnny showed me that love truly transcends physical death and that our animal companions remain connected to us long after they leave this world.

It was through listening—to him, to the animals, and to my own intuition—that I finally embraced the path I was always meant to walk.

That calling led me to study with internationally respected animal communicator Danielle MacKinnon, where I graduated from her Animal Communication Program. Since then, I have been honored to serve as a professional Animal Intuitive and Medium for the past six years, helping people reconnect with their beloved companions, deepen their relationships with the animals in their lives, navigate difficult decisions, and receive healing messages from pets both living and in spirit.

Today, I have the privilege of doing what I believe my soul came here to do.

Home is a place where animals are family. I share my life with one full-sized horse, two miniature horses, more than 25 chickens, two parrots, a barn cat, and four wonderful dogs who continue to teach me something new every single day. Living alongside so many different species reminds me daily that every animal has a unique personality, perspective, and wisdom to share—if we simply learn to listen.

I believe every animal comes into our lives for a reason.

They heal us, challenge us, protect us, teach us, and love us in ways that often defy explanation. Whether they are by our side or watching over us from spirit, their souls continue to touch ours forever.

It would be my honor to help you deepen your connection with your own beloved animals. Whether you're seeking guidance, comfort, understanding, validation, or simply wish to hear what your companion has been trying to tell you, I am here to help bridge that conversation with compassion, integrity, and love.

Sometimes all it takes is listening.

And often, the animals have been speaking to us all along.
