About
I’ve been receiving messages from animals for what feels like my entire life. And, I’ve always felt a strong pull to listen to them and advocate for them! Their pure souls have always filled me with such love, awe, laughter, comfort, and joy. I also always found them to be my greatest teachers. I would notice how they would teach me everything from persistence and courage, to lightening up and not taking myself so seriously! I always found it very hard to ignore the information I was receiving from them, before I knew cognitively that they were sending me psychic messages. I didn’t know “how” I knew, I just did! I could always feel what an animal needed, being a highly empathic, and sensitive human growing up. Although my intuition wasn’t limited to animals, I always felt safe receiving their messages. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and serving them is my greatest purpose. Helping their humans, is one way I get joy from doing so!
When I was in my teens, I wrote in my journal that my mission was, “to be a voice for animals”. At the time, I didn’t know being an animal communicator was a thing! I would speak to my beloved dog, and animals that crossed my path, but my idea of how I could help didn’t include being a pet psychic just yet. However, I started to notice that animals gave me courage! Not only did they ground me and get me out of my head and into the present moment. But, they would also get me out of my shell. If I ever saw an animal in need, I had zero hesitation to speak up and be seen.
Throughout my life, if I was speaking on behalf of an animal or helping them, I could step into my voice and wouldn’t be afraid to have attention of me. I was too focused on my desire! That was magnified even more when my dog Charlie came into my life. There wasn’t anything I wouldn’t do for him. He was not only my best friend, but he was my greatest teacher, greatest joy, and he is now my greatest guide! He also was the one who gave me the confidence that I was telepathically communicating with him.
A defining moment with Spirit was when I was driving to work one day in my twenties, and I passed a truck transporting pigs. I felt so sad and helpless in that moment seeing them squished together in transport the way they were that I cried and said to Spirit “please use me!”
I begged Spirit to use me in a way that I could immediately help animals in any way. That same day, I went to my favourite lunch spot, a conservation area, to go for a walk. At the end of my break I spotted a white cat in the bushes. This area wasn’t close to any homes, and she looked like he was disoriented and struggling. There was also a heat advisory out that day, and animal services would only come help him if I could secure her.
This sweet cat taught me so much that day! One lesson was persistence, as it took a great effort to get her in my car without her escaping because silly me, I left the windows down due to the heat that day when I parked the car. She also encouraged me to move past my fears, as I had no experience with cats at this time and was scared how she’d react. Moreover, in a very big way, she validated my relationship with Spirit. Animal Services suspected this cat had been dumped as she was very sick. However, she received treatment and was later adopted by a kind lady, who named her Angel. How fitting! After that experience, I had no doubt Spirit would always be working with me to help animals and to teach me so much through animals!
From the day we got my soul pet Charlie, he had some health issues. As the years went on, and Charlie got older, his health issues grew more complicated and the thought of him potentially passing on was more on the forefront of my mind. I truly felt like I wouldn’t know how to live without him, and that the pain would be too unbearable. Charlie and I had such a strong bond, with an incredibly deep level of trust. He was truly the best, and brought out the best in all who knew him. Dogs who weren’t usually friendly with other dogs I was told, were good with him. He was sensitive, joyful, calm, and knew how to communicate what he wanted!
In an equine assisted psychotherapy session with a mentor of mine, I shared the heaviness on my heart that despite doing all we possibly could medically, I knew he would be passing on in the near future.
My mentor shared with me her experience with working with an animal communicator when her horse passed and the experience she had resonated with every fibre of my soul. She also encouraged me to ask Charlie to tell me when it’s his time to transition. As I cuddled him after giving him some energy healing, I told him if it’s his time to pass, I would understand and listen.
Charlie’s passing was the most devastating loss I had ever experienced, and upon arriving home without him I wanted to continue to do anything I could to honour him. I lit a candle for him that night as I visualized light around his spirit and sent my love for his transition. Immediately, I felt his huge presence. It was unlike anything I had experienced before. It was his Spirit. I kept receiving signs from him from then on, and a new portal opened up. My psychic abilities expanded in a way I didn’t expect, to receive the abundance of messages and love he was sending from the other side. As hard as his passing was, and the intense grief I was going through, his uplifting messages provided me much comfort and I started to become aware of how I still had a relationship with him, in a new form.
The signs Charlie was sending me, and his messages, left me in awe and deep gratitude as he was making himself and his love so known. Charlie then led me to world renowned, Soul Level Animal Communicator®, Danielle MacKinnon, and her Animal Communication certification program! As I honed in on using my psychic abilities to give animal communication readings, I was sharing the joy this gave me to my mentor who replied with “ya, you’re being a voice for animals!”. I was in awe as I was reminded of what I wrote as my dream in my journal years ago, which was “to be a voice for animals” and realized that my dream has come true.
The relationship I have with Charlie now that he is in Spirit motivates me even more to helps others with their connection to their pets both alive and in Spirit. Charlie has surprised me in so many ways, and I want others to know how they can still have a relationship with their pet that has crossed over, it just takes on a different form. Charlie’s message to those grieving is to not be afraid to ask. Our animals love us beyond words, and want us to be our most joyful selves. They want us to ask them for signs, because they send us signs, we just need to be open to them and their spirit.
Our animal companions will always love us unconditionally and encourage our authenticity!
Our animals are wells of wisdom. Listening to them will expand your joy in infinite ways!
