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 deepened my spiritual path.

How could I not do this work?

                         

As someone who was a hard-core skeptic, ridiculed and bullied as a child, and never experiencing a loving relationship with animals, I devoted my life to obsessive disciplines: rigorous ballet training, eating disorders, followed by decades as a prolific visual artist. Exploring consciousness and inspired by dreams and 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, Zen meditation, with an unexpected introduction into animal communication.       

 

Initially, when I was 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 rolled my eyes. I never imagined I'd turn into one of those.

                                                                                     Then, in my mid-forties, I had an awakening; my cats talked. Something as mundane as my pen running out of ink would shift my reality forever. As I was about to enter my partner’s music studio to find another pen, I was halted at the entrance.

​

Look out! I'm down here!

​

I looked down to my feet to find my cat Bubby lying at the doorway of the studio. He stopped me from stepping on him. My inner skeptic dismissed this as a coincidence. Two months passed, and Bubby sent an image of himself unable to pee. I ignored it again, and he had a urinary blockage two days later.

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 listened to Ku Ku. 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 well over a decade. 

When we have animals in our lives, we experience unconditional love and forgiveness, and our compassion naturally expands. ​​
