I would like to share my new tattoo. It’s based on a beautiful portrait of my kids Merlin & Gracie Belle by Nicole Piar. I love it so much! It is a visual reminder that they are always with me even when I’m away from home. It makes me happy to look at it.

I also have (an older) one of my first 2 sons Juneau and Jarvis on the back of my neck. Not everyone is into tattoos but I love the concept of having something tangible that serves as a reminder that our companions are always connected to our hearts and souls. It could also be a piece of art or jewelry that reminds us of them or a special stone we carry. 

When our companions are in spirit it becomes especially meaningful to have visual tangible connections, like photos and portraits around the home as well as on our phones. 

I have been thinking about titles. How we choose them (or sometimes fit into them if they are chosen for us.) They can be lofty or plain, descriptive or deliberately obscure, whimsical or practical. ​

When I began formally doing this work I struggled with whether to refer to myself as a medium for animals, animal communicator, reiki/energy healing practitioner, or a provider of interspecies family guidance. (sure there were a few even more wordy options) I chose animal intuitive because I felt like it is able to encompass all the things. Reiki for animals and communication and medium work connecting with animals in spirit and their inter dimensional guides.

Part of me wants the title to be clear but also broad enough to encompass how sessions continue to evolve over the years - each single one is unique. Sometimes there is a focus on physical ailments and other times it’s all about the emotion and spiritual connection between animal and human companion. Mostly it’s both. It can be hard to describe because there really is no “typical” session. I help people understand their animal companions better. I assist animals in expressing themselves. I send them energy healing and love.✨I communicate with animals who have crossed the rainbow bridge. My priority has always been to help animals and the people who love them. When I learned to clearly communicate with spirit (shout out to my amazing teacher Jamie Butler) it was so exciting -especially because developing these abilities led to reiki and to using those same skills to fully focus on animal intuitive work. 

Ultimately I’m not sure if titles really matter to me. I think they can be helpful in a general way but the specifics and the true magic of it all occurs when I’m tuning in to an animal. I am only capable of feeling big love for animals which then expands as I get to know them. In the most plain words I can think of: I talk to animals. And in order to help them share what they want/need to - I also talk to spirit guides and all kinds of inter dimensional beings. I send reiki healing with the assistance of many of the aforementioned guides & beings. I love what I do.❤️
