Do you leave without saying something to your pet if they are not in the room? Know that the anxiety you are hoping to avoid by not letting them see you leave is still there. It is now shifted to anxiousness around where we have gone. We can help them through the process…

There are many tools including using oracle card decks, self-testing and observing our dreams to begin the process of honoring the intuitive and/or gut instincts that come through us. When I initially began my known journey with practicing with it, the oracle cards were the first. However, in looking back through my childhood and early adult life, I had many prophetic and/or ESP-type dreams…

Simple changes in our environments can shift the way we experience things. For instance, replacing the layout of a room or the placement of items on dressers or other tabletops can switch the energy in how we relate to a room.

We know that people can have emotional and physical responses to changes in their environments, so too can our pets. Imagine an area you consider your own space being torn up, a temporary fence being put up, a mechanical malfunction causing the temperature to rise inside

Whether animal or human, we each face certain challenges with walking a few legs of our journey solo. There are more similarities than differences. Recently in preparing for a trip alone to visit family, I was faced with anxious thoughts, energy and worry about the unknowns…

I do not know if you are like me, but there are times when I know I must be up early, and my mind just wants to keep going. Tonight, is one of those nights! I need to be on the road by 4:30am and…

When a series of dreams has you waking up thinking WTH! Who was I tapping into last night? Where was I traveling in my sleep! Then you stand up and your balance feels off – and no, there was not any partying involved the night before. You might want to do what I have learned over the years: stop, take a few deep breaths, and look at the dream snippets again to identify any emotions, structures or colors I am aware of within the scenes.

With many animals, just like people, touch and connection is very important. They want to know they are being heard and understood. This can go beyond acknowledgement of their presence to one-on-one connection.

In the past few weeks, I have been visiting with several canine and feline friends who have developed medical conditions that have changed what they can see and/or hear. With my canine friend who I last visited in 2019, experiencing how his diminishing sight and hearing affects his day-to-day activities and experience has been enlightening. His world is a lot quieter.

Often to reach the next step on our path, we need to openly share ourselves through the vulnerability. Whether we are sharing a new idea, working through something that is troubling us, walking through pain or illness, we often must experience elements of being vulnerable.

Awareness goes hand in hand with understanding the animal beings in our lives as well as ourselves. Conversations can occur via sight, emotions, sensitivities in the body and behaviors. Being present and learning to check in with yourself before hand will help you to open the door…

When it comes to multiple pets in a household, when one is sick or ailing -  one or more is in a caregiver role. When that role can be spread out amongst the pack members, it is less stressful than when there are just two in the home. 

Our animal friends are very connected with each other even when they do not always get along. They can feel, sense or smell when something is changing or off.

I have learned over the past five years that there are many different versions of what visiting and being with the animal beings means amongst pet professionals, pet parents and people in general. I have come to realize that the manner in which I connect is very unique - and some may even call it unusual.

Just as there are certain routines we as people get accustomed to, so too do our animal companions. For some people, the morning routine begins with the coffee brewing, the newspaper unfolded; for others it’s getting quickly dressed, feeding the pup, grabbing some coffee and heading out for a walk; for some it begins with stretching, turning on a tv or music station and then continuing on through the morning setup.

Catching up with friends and pets is very important.  Slight changes in the way they act, connect or the patterns they display can open the door to understanding the ways they are communicating their needs and shifts they are experiencing in their own bodies or picking up on our emotional, physical conditions or thoughts. Just as often the behavior changes can be about their health and how they are responding…

Sometimes the best choices for all involved are the hardest because we do not like the options before us. There are times when allowing time to pass works in our favor – that the dynamics of the situation shift for the better. However, there are just as many occurrences that time eliminates any available options. We see this happen with loved ones whether in people or our animal companions. It is not ever easy.

When we begin to allow our light to shine and embrace all that we can be, doors begin appearing and opening in ways we did not see coming. With that it is interesting to see when and the ways in which the butterflies and anxious energy appear.

Many shifts today occurring in a young kitten’s life. He found himself without his mama, on the asphalt and near traffic. My roommate found him and looked everywhere around the area for his mama to no avail.
