 Where to start? Well, that’s a tough question, as I would much rather be talking about my animals than myself!

I have been brought up around animals and, for as long as I can remember, our family always had a variety of creatures ranging from stick insects, hamsters and rats, to dogs, cats, horses and even a monkey. So of course, living in this sort of environment, I couldn't help but love animals of all shapes and sizes.

I have always been able to feel how my animals were feeling: a kind of empathy ‘thing’. If they weren't quite right I could feel it. When I reached my late twenties I found that I could contact spirit and, with the help of Running Wolf, a medicine man and my dearest friend, I learnt how to use this gift I had been given.

It had never occurred to me to try and actually talk to animals. I simply went with the feelings I was accustomed to. When I met my friend's pony, Leggie, I was in for a big surprise! It was a hot evening and my friend, Heather, wasn't due to check up on Leggie for a while. So I gave him a quick squirt of fly spray to keep him going till his mum arrived. Out of the blue, I heard, "Thank you!" in my head. These words were not my own thoughts, nor were they just a gentle whisper. They were as loud as loud could be! After staring open-mouthed, it slowly dawned that, without a shadow of a doubt, it had been Leggie talking to me. (You know, as he watched me, I could hear him laughing: He found my sudden light bulb moment amusing!)

Once my initial shock subsided, I realised that this wasn't as silly as it sounded. After all, I usually connected with spirit in an almost telepathic way; so why hadn't I thought of doing this with animals before? Leggie was a godsend. He is very vocal and likes to make his feelings known, which made practising with him blissfully easy.  Then I started practising on my own animals. It was not long before I realised that I had begun my wonderful journey into animal communication.

Soon I was listening to the animals of friends and family. It was exciting to learn that the messages I was receiving from their pets were invariably spot on. How wonderful! I realised that this was my chance to help others - both human and animal. This goal is also what I have been travelling towards all these years. Yes, I have embarked on an incredible journey and I am enjoying every step along the way!

So this is me. I have a huge love for all animals and would welcome the opportunity to help them. I am willing to use my gifts to assist others in helping their beloved animals through animal communication.
