I understand how stressful and painful it can feel to have pets with behavior issues. And if you’re a sensitive or empathic person like me, it can even hurt physically, especially when constant tension replaces the peace you once had at home. You feel like you’ve done everything you’re “supposed” to do to resolve the behavior, but nothing has worked.

How My Cats Became My Teachers

When I brought home the beautiful and magnificent Thumper, everyone instantly fell in love and he attained “foster-fail” status within seconds of crossing our threshold. Unfortunately, one family member wasn’t thrilled with the newcomer: our other male cat, Bentley. We figured if we followed all the standard protocols for introducing a new cat, things would eventually settle down. However, despite doing everything “right”, months passed and there were still daily acts of frightening aggression, forcing us to keep them separated 24 hours a day.

My Introduction to Soul Level Animal Communication

While all this was going on, my beautiful soul cat, Miss Kitty, passed away. During her final weeks, overwhelmed with grief, I came across one of Danielle MacKinnon’s videos on Soul Level Animal Communication. I immediately started using the intuitive communication techniques Danielle taught and was astounded by Miss Kitty’s responses. It became clear that she understood everything I was intuitively saying to her and I was accurately receiving her intuitive messages, as well. I had always felt that I was communicating telepathically with animals, but now I really knew I was.

Discovering the Soul Lesson Behind Their Behavior

With this new confidence in my intuitive abilities, I began working with my two boy kitties in a very different way and a clear and unexpected message came through. My cats told me that their fights were a way to show me how I blamed myself and braced for criticism when anyone was unhappy around me: I was taking responsibility for keeping the whole world happy, cats included!

Once I recognized this as my Soul Lesson, I began practicing compassion for myself instead of self-criticism. This was a deep lesson for me with multiple layers, but over time it led to huge shifts. After months of working through this Soul Lesson, I woke up one morning with a feeling of absolute security and a deep knowing that today was the day. I opened the gate that had kept the cats separated for over a year – and they’ve been peacefully coexisting ever since!

Now, while I continue to work with my own animals – both living and crossed over – as part of my ongoing healing and spiritual growth, I also guide others to discover the Soul Lessons their cherished pets are helping them with. After years of inner work, I’ve learned that healing doesn’t have to feel heavy or daunting. It can be playful, uplifting, and surprisingly joyful!

My Philosophy

I believe that we come into this world already connected to the animals who will share our lives. Animals arrive with a broader spiritual perspective, which allows them to love us unconditionally and to see our true selves without judgment. They can help guide us through deep emotional and spiritual growth, sometimes with profound words of wisdom and sometimes with pure, delightful silliness. Their purpose is not just to accompany us, but to help us heal and grow and return to a place of true self-acceptance and child-like joy.

Peace at last! Thumper and Bentley hanging out together after being separated for over a year due to behavior challenges.

How We Can Work Together

I know firsthand how overwhelming it can be when your pet’s behavior feels stressful or unfixable. But I’ve also experienced the incredible relief and liberation that comes when you finally discover what your pet has been trying to tell you all along. Because I approach animals as true equals, they open up to me easily and share their insights with a wonderful mix of wisdom and playfulness that can help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

If you’re ready to finally understand your pet’s deeper message, I’d be honored and delighted to work together!
