From the Field:
What Nature, Animals, and the Unseen Have to Teach
Something is always trying to get through. In the quiet between things, in the animals we live alongside, in the moments of loss that open us whether we are ready or not. This is where I write from. Find what's calling to you.

What to Look For, and Why More Than One Perspective Is Okay
I wasn't the first person to sit with this one cat. I wouldn't be the last, either. Here's what that taught me about choosing — and trusting — an animal communicator.
On Presence, Pet Loss, and the Conversations We Almost Miss
Your animal has a perspective on what's happening — on life, on death, on what comes next. An animal communicator shares what she learned when she finally stopped managing and started listening.
WHAT THE DOGS KNOW
A series from a shelter volunteer and animal communicator: Every week I show up at a shelter with a leash and a list of dogs. Nobody there knows what I do beyond the poo bags. But something else happens in the middle of it. These are the stories from those walks — what the dogs are carrying, what they want, and what they are quietly teaching me about presence, listening, and showing up without knowing what you'll find.
What the Dogs Know — Stories from a shelter volunteer and animal communicator
My last walk of the day was a new arrival. In the isolation kennel — the place I would want to be if I were scared. No name, no notes.
What the Dogs Know — Stories from a shelter volunteer and animal communicator
When I arrived, Bella was gone. Nobody at the shelter knows what I do beyond the leash and the poo bags. But something else happens in the middle of it. As an animal communicator, this is how I've come to know who they are.
What the Dogs Know — Stories from a shelter volunteer and animal communicator
A painted dog named Pinto was going home the next day. He just needed someone to be here with him first.
What the Dogs Know — Stories from a shelter volunteer and animal communicator.
Every week when I walk into the room of kennels, I notice the names on each individual door. Does the name match the dog I see? Who decides, and I wondered if anyone asks them.
What the Dogs Know — Stories from a shelter volunteer and animal communicator
She jumped up to greet me the moment I came in. Both paws on my chest, tail going, face close to mine. Not aggressive — just certain. You're here. Good. Let's go. That's Bella. A big lumbering white lab pit bull mix, strong as an ox, with a warmth that hits you before she does.
What the Dogs Know — Stories from a shelter volunteer and animal communicator
Nobody at the shelter knows what I do beyond the leash and the poo bags. But in the middle of that ordinary work, something else is also happening — a quieter kind of listening. This is what one dog had to say.
QUIETLY TRUE
On pet loss, grief, and what remains: Losing an animal is its own kind of grief — one that doesn't always get the room it deserves. For the ones wondering if their animal is okay, if the love is still somewhere.
What I witness in pet loss sessions — and what becomes possible on the other side of grief
When I open a session with someone grieving a pet, the animal is usually already there. Not restless. Not demanding. Just — present. The question I'm asked most is simply: are they okay. And what I witness, over and over, is that the answer is yes.
An animal communicator’s journey to the whales — and the message that found her there.
Three years in the making, this trip to swim with humpback whales in Tonga was supposed to be a new adventure. What it became was something else entirely — and the message arrived only when I finally stopped reaching for it.
ESSENTIALS
On staying open, releasing fear, and what your animal has been waiting to tell you.
I'll admit something I haven't written about before. The real version of this work — not the tidy version, not the version that's easy to explain at a dinner party. Specific. Surprising. Arriving on its own terms, and asking something of you.
Some places ask you to receive differently. Seattle is one of them.
I grew up knowing this landscape. What the forests, a small lake, and the animals I've worked with in Seattle have taught me about presence — and what that has to do with animal communication.
Why remote sessions are often the most effective way to hear what your pet is trying to tell you.
Whether you're in a remote rural area or a bustling city across the ocean, animal communication isn't limited by geography. Learn why presence is about connection, not proximity, and how a remote session can provide the clarity you and your animal need—from anywhere in the world.
The question isn't whether animal communication is real. It's whether you're willing to be present to what's already there.
On skepticism, discernment, and what becomes possible when you stay curious.
On animal communication sessions, what comes through, and how to prepare
Some animals come into our lives not to be managed — but to teach us something. A client sensed this about her young Malinois mix. The resistance on walks, the push and pull between them — she already knew it was about more than training. What came through in our session confirmed it.
What surprised me most about my first pet psychic session was that it related to me. My miniature schnauzer Stanley had been chewing his paws for years. One phone call with an animal communicator changed everything.
