Are you a highly sensitive person? Does your pet have the trait of high sensitivity?     Dr. Elaine Aron pioneered research into the survival trait of high sensitivity, a genetic trait people share in common with over 100 other animal species.  However, if you are a parent or guardian to a highly sensitive pet, you are most likely not aware that your pet has the trait. You may even think your pet is just overly anxious, reactive or poorly socialized due to past trauma, abuse or rehoming.   In today's episode, I talk with Jane-Marie, highly sensitive person and coach for h ..read more

Anxious dogs. Reactive dogs. Dogs bearing behavioral scars from past trauma, abuse or rehoming. Sometimes these canine quirks are easy to resolve. But sometimes our pets need more from us, their pet parents, to overcome quirks arising from selective breeding, high sensitivity, anxiety and other bumps in the road. When is one intervention, such as dog training or western veterinary care, enough? When is it time to look at other options such as holistic vet care or energy healing? What is the role of pet parent intuition in creating your dog's support team? How can animal communication be part ..read more

Traumatic pet death is much more common than most pet parents realize.  The truth is, the grief of pet death - even under the most idyllic and ideal circumstances - is still under-appreciated in most parts of the world.  And so resources for support and coping can feel few and far between.  And for suffering pet parents who feel lost and alone, it can feel hard to express the depth of the loss - even to close partners and friends. The loss can feel even harder to bear when your pet dies in a way that leaves lingering questions, guilt, shame, self-blame and feelings that it shoul ..read more

Pet reincarnation is a wondrous experience. But it can also bring up a lot inside us!  This is especially true if you go into the experience having certain assumptions or expectations about what it should be like to live with your reincarnated soul pet. And it's hard not to have expectations or assumptions since, if you are like most pet parents, this is probably going to be your first time consciously welcoming your pet back in a new body! Recently a pet parent client of mine asked me if I ever still feel grief about my soul bird Pearl, who passed away a year ago and then returned to ..read more

Pet death is the worst. In this episode, I give you actionable steps to take NOW to begin feeling supported, seen, connected, comforted, held and heard as you grieve and recover.

I want to share with you what helped me move through that time and into a space where I was quickly able to welcome in a new animal life companion, Pearl's reincarnation, Miss Petal.  ✨Listen to A Tale of Pet Reincarnat ..read more

I hope you enjoyed part 1 of our two-part kickoff to Season 5 of Let's Talk to Animals!  I have been known to joke that animal communication is the hands-down best life coaching program I have ever found. But I'm really not joking.  Learning this skill has been so profound that I now divide my life into two phases: BAC (before animal communication) and AAC (after animal communication). Intuition has been a major driver in my transformation and I want that for you too.  In part 1 two weeks ago, I shared 5 tips to begin to find, trust and follow your intuition. For part 2, I sha ..read more

Pet reincarnation is one of those terms that we as human animals often have strong opinions about. Sometimes those opinions stem from our upbringing, our social network, even our ability to dream bigger than the mind is willing to allow!
