What Is Animal Communication? My Journey to Understanding Animals

I have always wanted to work with animals in some capacity, but I could never pinpoint exactly how. Nothing felt right-until I discovered animal communication. That discovery kicked off a many-year journey that began with Reiki.

I found a teacher and began learning and practicing Reiki. I had no idea what a deep dive I would end up taking into my own energy and soul. Learning to tune into my intuition and understanding how energy works meant a deep internal healing and surrendering to anything that wanted to come up-old traumas, pre-programmed beliefs, all of it.

Understanding my energy was to understand others’ energy. It was a natural unfolding and an absolute prerequisite to animal communication. Everything is vibration-energy in motion. Animals are incredibly attuned to this subtle communication. They live in it naturally. I’m just learning to speak their language.

Why I Do This

Every animal has a voice. A unique perspective. A story that matters. And most of them are trying to tell us things all the time-we just don’t have the framework to listen.

When I help someone understand their animal, something opens. The relationship shifts. There’s less frustration, more compassion. The animal feels heard, and that changes everything.

That’s why I combine animal communication with Reiki. Communication brings understanding. Reiki brings healing. Together, they help animals find peace and help people find the connection they’ve always sensed was possible.

How a Session Works

When you reach out to book a session, here’s exactly what happens:

Step 1: You send me a photo and questions

Email me a clear picture of your animal, their name, and anything you’d like to know. Maybe your cat has been acting distant. Maybe your dog is anxious around other dogs. Or maybe you just want to know what your horse thinks about their daily routine. No question is too small.

Step 2: I sit with your animal

I find a quiet space, settle into a receptive state, and tune into your animal’s energy. I’m not calling them somewhere or forcing a connection-I’m simply opening myself to receive what they want to communicate. This usually takes 30-60 minutes depending on the depth of the session.

Step 3: I send you a summary

You receive an email with what came through during the session-what your animal shared about their feelings, needs, any insights about behavior or health concerns, and often things you wouldn’t have thought to ask about. Animals are often very clear about what matters to them.

Step 4: You use the insight

Most people use this information to deepen their relationship with their animal, understand behavioral issues better, or support their animal’s healing. Some people combine it with training or veterinary care. It’s not a replacement for either-it’s a different kind of understanding.

Most common results: behavioral shifts, emotional clarity, and a deeper connection with your animal.

A Real Example

A woman reached out because her dog had been acting differently-not as interested in food or play, acting a bit depressed. The vets had ruled out medical issues and didn’t know what could be causing it.

During our session, the dog revealed that he was grieving. Another cat in the household had passed away months earlier, and he was still processing that loss. He needed time, and when I offered some healing energy, he accepted it and acknowledged that it felt good.

After I shared this news with the woman, she became more compassionate and understanding with her dog. She engaged with him a little more. After a short period of time, he began to engage more and show more interest in life.

That’s what animal communication can do: illuminate what’s really going on so you can respond with what your animal actually needs.
