Why I Do This Work
           Animals have opened my heart, taught me about impermanence, shown me patience, acceptance, forgiveness, and deep compassion. My cat family taught me animal communication and drastically changed my entire life: my career direction and spiritual path. How could I not do this work?

I was a sensitive child, felt ridiculed and bullied, and never had a deep connection with animals. Ballet, loss, and eating disorders were followed by decades as a visual artist, exploring consciousness and dreams inspired by Jung. My art and life became a lifelong self-inquiry after the early death of my mom, which later evolved into a life of spiritual practice, with an unexpected introduction into animal communication.       

Initially, I was a hardcore skeptic, fairly young and eagerly open-minded. I worked in a metaphysical bookstore, read everything I could get my hands on, but when animal communicators walked into the store, I thought they were ridiculous.

                                                                                     Then, in my mid-forties, something as mundane as my pen running out of ink changed my reality forever. I had been writing with four cats on my desktop when I got up to find another pen. As I was about to enter my partner’s music studio, my cat Bubby's thoughts halted me at the entrance.

​

Look out! I'm down here!

​

Bubby was lying at the doorway of the studio and stopped me before I stepped on him. My inner skeptic dismissed this as a coincidence. Two months passed, and Bubby sent an image of himself not able to pee. I ignored it, and he blocked. A third attempt from my cat Yudli Boo, who alerted me telepathically to help my other cat, Baba Looie, finally convinced me that my cats were talking.

​

However, it was several years later that my cat Ku Ku's tragically sudden death catapulted me into communicating with animals for a living. I wanted to deepen human and animal understanding and awareness. Mostly, I wanted to listen to animals and express their feelings, because I hadn't heard Ku Ku's. His death woke me up to the life I was meant to live, drastically changed me, and placed my self-absorbed artist’s life aside.

I wanted to make a difference for animals, and have dedicated my life to helping them for over twenty years.​ When we have them in our lives, we experience unconditional love and forgiveness, and our compassion naturally expands. ​​
