My love for animals started when our family Beagle, Brittany, had puppies when I was 5 years old. I remember that I always wanted to be with animals, way more than people! No matter where I went, if there was an animal there, that is who I was hanging with. My favorite movies and shows were the ones with the animals. I’ve never been afraid of snakes or spiders or bugs. I was lucky that we always had dogs and cats as pets. My first love was my Golden Retriever, Kahn. He came to my family as a puppy when I was 7 years old and he crossed over the Rainbow bridge when I was 21. This was my first deep connection with an animal, our love was very special to me.
I got my first job at a kennel where I also learned Dog Grooming in 2003. I’ve worked at kennels and daycares, at Grooming Salons and at an Animal Hospital where I was a Veterinary Technician for six years. Everywhere I worked, I ended up in a leadership role. I knew I wanted to someday own a business where I could work with animals. Although I excelled in each position, I always felt there was a missing link in my connection. I struggled with the fact that the animals seemed to not have a voice. I felt they deserve to be heard. I always saw Psychic Animal Communicators as having the most awesome gift in the world! I had no idea that even I can do that! I now see that I have been doing it in my own way all this time!
It was during my time as a Veterinary Technician when I began to notice that I felt most like myself when I was at work, helping animals. I noticed it was much easier for me to connect with people when we were talking about how to help their beloved pets. I felt more comfortable doing this than I did hanging out with my friends and even some family! I have struggled with social anxiety my whole life. I’ve used some not-so-healthy ways to cope with this. There was a point in my life where I realized I was using animals as a bridge to my relationship with humans. If I was at a social event and my anxiety was getting the best of me, I learned to find the nicest looking person and strike a conversation by asking “Do you have any pets?”. Most of the time they did have a pet! This would launch us into a fun and meaningful conversation which I enjoyed. People love talking about their pets and I love hearing about them! It has never been a question that helping animals is my life’s work. I am grateful that the animals helped me to find a healthy way to cope with my social anxiety.
In 2017 I decided it was time to open my own business! At the time I was enjoying Dog Grooming. I knew that it was the one business where I could be with dogs all day and I didn’t need a team of people to help me! So, I opened a small salon called Head to Tail Dog Grooming in Vermont. This has been very fulfilling for me! It has given me a solid foundation in my life. I'm proud of and grateful for the success of my grooming salon.
This is Earnie. I started grooming him in 2016. I loved him so much and even called him My Boyfriend! In 2019 he crossed over the Rainbow Bridge and now he helps me with my Animal Communication readings! I love that I still get to hang with Earnie sometimes!
In the summer of 2018, something amazing happened. One night when I was sitting on the couch next to my husband, one of my dogs who had crossed over the rainbow bridge came to me! I was so surprised at what was happening. I was talking to Chloe! I could see her, hear her and feel her energy! My husband had no idea that it was even happening. The loss of Chloe was too tragic and I shoved it out of my mind whenever I would think of her. I never dealt with my grief of losing her. I would wake up in the middle of the night thinking of her. She would randomly pop into my awareness, but I always pushed it away because of the pain it brought me. Well, this time she was not going to let me push her away. She had a message and she was determined to get that message to me! Since that night, I am able to think about Chloe without pushing her out of my mind. I can hold her in my awareness, knowing that she is right here. She is always here. Thats Chloe on the left and my boy Alvie on the right.
Once I knew that it was possible for me to psychically connect with animals, I set the intention to learn more! In October 2019 I got married to a very sweet man and became a Stepmom to two girls. Although my family brings me a lot of joy, we have faced and overcome many challenges. I was going through rapid changes and was evolving rather fast. In January 2020 I realized I was going through a Spiritual Awakening. One day when I was reading about Crystals, I heard in my ear the words "Animal Reiki and Animal Communication". I lit up with joy knowing that this was my new path! I became attuned to Reiki and started learning the Let Animals Lead Method of Reiki. That spring, my beloved 17 year old Miniature Poodle, Brilyn began her process of transitioning to the other side. I was searching for support online and I found Danielle Mackinnon! She made me believe that even I can communicate with animals psychically and well lucky me, she was right!! When practicing Animal Communication and Animal Reiki, I am able to help animals on a Spiritual Level. I can now return the favor and be the bridge for the animals to their humans. I can help them by being the voice for their message. I am finding out that when I help animals in their journey, I am also helping their people. Until now, I had no idea how good that would feel.
