Animal communication is spiritual and energetic in nature. It does NOT involve interpreting an animal's body language, projecting our feelings onto an animal, or “making guesses” or assumptions based on an animal's outward appearance or physical ailments.

It is possible to communicate with an animal just by knowing its name, age, and breed or by looking at its photo. In fact, the animal does not even have to be physically present during a session.

There are two basic methods of animal communication. I have been trained to use both.

Telepathic Animal Communication

Telepathic, "mind to mind" communication involves sensing—over a distance, whether far or nearby—an animal's feelings, perceptions, or thought patterns.

Communications can take on different forms. Some communicators receive direct messages from an animal, such as expressions of happiness or distress, in words or graphic images. Others receive information from an animal by actually experiencing an animal's emotions, or by receiving details about an animal’s lifestyle that they would otherwise have no way of knowing from the animal's physical appearance alone.

Shamanic Animal Communication

Shamanic animal communication involves connecting to an animal with the help of compassionate, loving beings (e.g., spirit guides, power animals, angels, and teachers).

As a steady, monotone drum beat is played, the animal communicator takes a “journey” to a dream-like world. The communicator meets with personal spirit guides, spiritual teachers, and the client’s animal. The guides and teachers assist with communications and healing work. Journeys are visual in nature and communicators typically receive information in a “video clip” format.

The drum pictured at the right is my 16" synthetic REMO(TM) Buffalo drum. It's my favorite drum. I decorated the outer face with running horses. I use this drum at workshops and at drumming or healing circles. For private sessions, I prefer to listen to a pre-recorded shamanic drumming track in the background so I can focus on the journey instead of trying to keep a steady beat.
