WHAT ARE MY QUALIFICATIONS TO TALK WITH YOUR ANIMAL?

ANIMAL TALK SERVICES AND SUPPLIES - Walking together with our animal companions

WHO AM I AND WHAT ARE MY QUALIFICATIONS TO TALK WITH YOUR ANIMAL?

When I was a kid I was in love with all the animals I could see. There was never an animal I did not like. I would walk around singing the refrain from Dr. Doolittle all the time: "If we could talk with the animals, walk with the animals, grunt, squeak and squawk with the animals, and they could talk with us!" What a wonderful world that would be. But of course as I grew and matured and put away the things of childhood, the thought of really talking with animals was put away too. I began my career in people management, with a faithful cat or dog always at my side. They were my "pets", my friends, keeping me company on the road of life. Until the day that Megan came into my life. My brother's dog was having puppies and as I sat and watched them being born suddenly I knew: "that one is mine!" I told my brother. "That one" was my canine soulmate. And she led me the desire to learn again how to communicate with animals.

I first trained at a workshop with Jeri Ryan, founder of the Assisi International Animal Institute. This was an awakening for me and it is a deeply spiritual experience to converse with our animal friends. I have since attended a retreat with Penelope Smith.

I have a degree in Sociology and have spent over 30 years in people management. I am a “professional pack leader”. Animal-Interspecies Communication is my love and my spirituality. As a follower of St Francis, it is my goal to be of service to our animal brethren and through them to you, their people.

Helping people to understand their companion animals will enhance the quality of that relationship. You will find out what matters to your animal friends and why you have been drawn together in this life. If your animal is upset, suffering or scared you will want to know and I can help you do that.

Some interspecies communicators specialize in healing, finding lost animals, behavior issues etc. I do not engage in healing but:

I SPECIALIZE IN COMMUNICATING WITH DECEASED ANIMALS

· Solve behavior problems.

· Improve the quality of your animal-human bond; deepen your relationship with your animal friend.

· Help you help your animal when it is time for her/him to leave this life, and help you with your grief process.

· Find lost animals.

· Solve wild animal “pest” issues without harming the animal/insect etc.

I am not a veterinarian and I cannot diagnose illness nor heal your animal. At times however an animal will tell me of symptoms or something that they are experiencing that has not been noticeable to you.

If you need diagnostic advice or healing there are many qualified animal communicators who do engage in those practices. A good place to start is Penelope Smith’s web site (www.animaltalk.net) and check out her list of providers.
