I am certified in Animal Communication and trained in Energy Therapies. As a graduate of the Animal Mastery Program with Communication With All Life University (CWALU), founded by Joan Ranquet who is a celebrated, renown Animal Communicator, Energy Healer, TEDx speaker, Author, and Educator, I received my Animal Communication certification after three years of schooling and working with over 300 animals.

Through the university I learned animal communication and completed courses in EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Scalar Wave, Subtle Energies (taught by Marie-Christine Lochot and based on Donna Eden’s Energy Medicine techniques), and Energetic Anatomy (taught by Jill Todd, DVM, a study on the structure of physical anatomy and how it intertwines with the system of energetic centers and pathways).

With a background of grooming dogs for AKC show competitions since the mid 80’s, I decided to choose grooming as my career path in the 2000’s. I became a Certified Pet Groomer through JKL Grooming Academy where I was a graduate with honors , and have been the pet groomer/pet stylist in my privately owned and operated pet salon since 2009, with a regular clientele of over 1,000.

I am a member of the Pet Professional Guild (PPG), an international organization who’s members are bound by “ethical principles (that) emphasizes “a holistic, force-free approach to pet training and pet care by attending to the physical, emotional and environmental well-being of pets in our care.”  https://www.petprofessionalguild.com/

I have been involved with fostering for local rescue organizations since the early 1980’s, with a special interest in feline rescue and rehabilitation. In 2023, I co-founded a local, 501c3 feline-focused, foster based rescue organization that is very active in TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) within my region. For those cats and kittens living in these colonies who are sick or injured and unable to be returned to their colonies, they are medically treated and placed in foster homes that specialize in medical cases. And, when needed, they are placed in hospice care foster homes to provide them a loving place to live out their lives in comfort and security.

My life has been wonderfully filled with animals of many species and varieties.  I grew up in a family of devoted, avid animal lovers and both my brother and I were raised to embrace the animal kingdom with open hearts, recognizing them as beautiful and wonderous beings who deserve our love, respect and protection.  This cultivated my deep, intrinsic connection with them and, although unknown to me at the time, it set me on my journey to become an animal energy therapist and animal communicator.

Every day I am grateful for the journey I am on and for the privilege to have a share in the lives of animals and their people. 

I am forever in love with and in awe of the animal kingdom.  Each animal is unique, complex and fascinating, and I can’t imagine  a life without them.  

Each day with animals brings something new and insightful and deepens my appreciation for the wondrous beauty in the beast.
