Animal Communication ~ Frequently Asked Questions
How does this work?
That's a common question! Since animals don't have spoken language, they use body language, vocalizations and telepathic communication. Like a mother's sixth sense to go check her child in the next room .. how does she know?
Neuro physiologists tell us some 90% of human-human communication is non-verbal. We are all born with the hard wiring to communicate with each other without words, and can re-develop the skill with practice.

How does a consultation work, by telephone? It works very well! Since we're working with quantum physics energy - non-locality - we do not have to be where our ears can hear or our eyes able to see one another. Goals and results are the same, no matter where we do the talking.
Do you make house calls? I do barn calls in the Saratoga Springs NY region and places I travel to for worksops, visiting multiple animals at a discount rate. This is a great choice for riding, training and private stables. All other consultations are by telephone ... especially since gas has gone so high Prince Charles just outfitted one of his cars to run on (surplus) wine instead of gasoline!
Can I bring my animals to you? We don't have a space to accommodate visiting animals. Animals do best relaxing in their regular place while we connect on the telephone, instead of traveling to a strange environment.
Do you always work with a photo? A photo is helpful but not necessary. Many people enjoy sending them. We can work with a name, age, gender and physical description, too.

Can we work with my animal if he isn't in the room with me? Should I walk out to the barn? We can communicate with your animal wherever he is. He does not even have to be awake for this to "work" though most people enjoy being with their animals during a consultation.
How can I get the most out of our consultation? That's a great question! Listening. Experiencing your animal in a new way. Letting her know you are going to do this and why. For more suggestions please visit our "Tips for getting the most out of your consultation" page.

Is animal communication a religion? No. My work is a practice of compassion that has spiritual roots, that all life is connected by a common Source. We all benefit from the compassionate treatment of our neighbors of the land, sea and air.
Do you do energy work? I am a Reiki Master Teacher (Usui) and am avaiable for classes in Reiki.
What can I expect from my consultation? People report a deeper, more confident, balanced relationship with their animals. People often say they notice a difference right away and that their animals are "looking at them differently" or that issues simply "fell away." Some folks report they see their animals in a whole new light. Some feel an inner peace about difficult decisions. For animals who've passed on, we may receive information that helps resolve unfinished business and offers comfort.
Can you tell my animal to stop doing something? I wish it were that easy ... Animals are about as receptive to being told what to do as teen-agers! We'll listen for triggers behind the behavior and negotiate change. Often, training, gear and environmental changes will need to be part of the solution, too.
My animal passed on. Can you help? I am so sorry for your loss.
Part of my work is assisting families at this time, and helping them before hand. These sessions can be immensely healing and reassuring. Please see our Transitions page for more resources to help you and your family cope with the loss of your friend.
Can you find my missing animal? I am no longer taking lost animal cases because of time limitations. Please visit our lost animal page for resources that may help you. Slan abhaile (Irish for "safe home") for your animal friend!
How can we prove this is "real?" That's an excellent question! For me, it's not a matter of belief, it's seeing the changes and receiving information we could not have gotten any other way. People often find validation during a session or shortly after when they realize how the information "fits." When people take an animal communication workshop and make the connection directly, they experience validation first hand. I highly recommend it!
That's OK, but I still want to test if this is real. Maybe hold back some information to see if the communicator "gets" it right away.
I'm not interested in being tested. If we let the consultation unfold naturally, animals naturally give us information that validates our connection. Withholding
important information - such as if the animal is alive - wastes apppointment time and focuses attention on the human's needs instead of the animal's.
Do you call yourself a Pet Psychic? No. Modern animal communication is intespecies telepathic communication, a heart-centered, respectful two-way conversation that animals participate in with free will.
Thank you for everything you did, our appointment made such a difference! Thank you for your kind words .... but you and your animal did all the work. I just try to hold the door open so you can hear each other better, and maybe turn a few light switches on along the way.
