How Two Animals Shaped My Healing Path

My path as an animal communicator and energy healer wasn’t something I planned. It was something I lived through, guided by two of my animals who carried more pain and challenges than they could express, yet who trusted me to help them find peace and comfort.

Red, my horse, was the first to bring focus to my direction. He developed some injuries, including a broken scapula and a torn suspensory ligament which left him in visible discomfort. The severity was unexpected. No matter how many treatments we tried, he struggled. Watching him suffer pushed me to look for answers beyond the physical. I spoke to him energetically and learned that I could help him while furthering my own skills with energy medicine. He became one of my first clients.

My final experience with Red will remain with me forever. One day while riding him, I noticed he felt severely bloated and sluggish. He’d begun to colic, which is very serious for a horse. Two hawks circled overhead which sent me a message from Red’s voice. I felt his fear, his exhaustion, his discomfort, and his readiness to let go. Listening to him on a Soul Level was painful because he knew it was his time, but I was not ready to say goodbye. Ultimately, I felt honored to share this experience with him. Red’s final gift was clarity which allowed me to overcome my shock at his sudden transition. He lovingly showed me my calling as a healer and communicator.

Kodak arrived years later, carrying trauma of a different kind. His foster parent said she had never seen him respond so positively to a new person. I mentioned I had talked to him energetically before meeting him at the park. However, when we brought him home after adopting him, it felt like living with a storm in a small body. During his first nights with us he paced endlessly, panicked at every sound, and cried whenever he thought he might lose us. His fear was raw, his past trauma evident. This stirred old feelings in me: that same helplessness, that same wondering if I could truly help him.

But I had learned from Red. I knew that what looked like “bad behavior” was emotional pain and old traumas he didn’t know how to release. So, I connected with Kodak energetically. I helped him clear and release the fear, the confusion, the expectation of abandonment he still carried from his past. And when I explained to him, soul to soul, that he was safe now, something inside him shifted. The next day, the pacing stopped. The howling quieted. Kodak curled up beside me and finally slept without fear. Watching him soften, knowing he trusted us at last, was profoundly healing for both of us.

Both Red and Kodak changed me in ways I never expected. Their pain and acceptance of my help opened my heart. Their healing shaped my purpose. Their journeys taught me that animals, especially the ones carrying emotional scars, are often the most powerful teachers we will ever have.

Today, I help pet parents understand what their animals are trying to communicate, plus trapped emotions and past traumatic experiences that shape their pet’s behavior.

I guide you in connecting with your pet at a deeper Soul Level, so both of you can grow, heal, and feel more balanced together. Your animal loves you more than you know. And they may be trying to help you heal too.

Let me be your guide on your journey with your animal to uncover the lessons and messages they’re here to share with you.
