Animal Communication ~ Frequently Asked Questions
How does this work?
That's a common question! Interspecies telepathic communication is sensing the energy all
beings send to one another to get their point across. It's quantum physics ... matter to energy and back
again. You and I, as people, send energy messages all the time like a radio broadcast.
Since animals don't have spoken language, they listen to us directly, mind to mind, heart to heart.
All we're doing is rejoining our natural abilities by doing it too!

What is an animal communication consultation like?
It's a conversation between you and your animal. I am your translator and guide,
shepherding questions and answers back and forth between you and your animal, offering guidance
and tuning in to the deeper messages of your animal's higher self. Together we'll help you
create positive change in a safe, private counseling style session.
How does a consultation work, by telephone? It works very well! Since we're working with a natural energy wave language, we do not have to be where our ears can hear or be able to see one another. Our goals and wishes are the same, no matter where we do the talking, and it's our intention that powers the session.
Do you always work with a photo? A photo is helpful but not necessary. We can work with a name and a 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! Being open to thinking outside the box and see your animal in a new way is a great start. For more suggestions please visit our "Tips for getting the most out of your consultation" page.

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, rescue and training stables. All other consultations are by telephone ... especially since gas has gone so high Prince Charles just rigged one of his cars to run on (surplus) wine!
Can I bring my animals to you? No ... we don't have a space to accommodate visiting animals. I've found animals do best relaxing in their regular place while we connect on the telephone, instead of traveling to an unfamiliar environment.
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 messages that help resolve unfinished business and offer 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. What we'll do is try to discover the triggers behind the behavior and negotiate change. Animal communication is not a substitute for a commitment to training and setting a positive tone.
Is animal communication a religion? No. It's a compassionate practice of illumination that has spiritual roots, that all beings are connected by a common Source. Like ripples in a stream, we all benefit from the compassionate treatment of our brothers and sisters of the land, sea and air.
My animal passed on. Can we find out if he's OK? I am sorry for your loss. Animals often stay connected with their people for a period of time after they leave their bodies, and they are in our hearts forever. Many of the consultations I do are about connecting with animals in spirit - either shortly after they passed or years later.
Animals are generous about giving messages to people and animals they love. These sessions can be immensely healing for everyone. Please see our Transitions page for more resources to help you and your family.

Can you find my missing animal? I am sorry you are going through this. Unfortunately 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 after a session. Clients usually find validation during a session or shortly after. When people take an animal communication workshop and make the connection themselves, they can 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.
Please call somebody else! Seriously, consultations don't work that way. It's natural to want to be sure we have a real connection with your animal, but withholding
important information to play "stump the psychic" shifts the focus from the animal to the person's needs. Animal communication is about enhancing the human animal bond. Animals will give us information that validates our connection if we let them have a chance.

Do you call yourself a Pet Psychic? No, I don't wear a turban. : ) Most of us don't use that name because it doesn't describe what we do ... intespecies communication, a heart-centered respectful two-way conversation where the animals participate with free will. The goal of my work is to be an agent of change and enhance the human-animal connnection.
