From a young age, I’ve had a special connection with animals. One of my earliest memories is following a dog to the end of the road near a busy highway. When my mother scolded me and asked why I followed the dog, I simply explained that he told me to. This was my first experience communicating with an animal, and it left a lasting impression on me. However, because my mother didn't believe in my ability, it hindered my willingness to communicate for most of my life. I related deeply to animals because, like me, they didn't have a voice and often went unheard.
As a quiet, shy, and timid child, I often struggled to make friends, finding solace in the companionship of animals. They seemed to understand and accept me in ways others could not, providing comfort and a sense of belonging that shaped my life.
As an adult, I pursued a career as a veterinary technician and dedicated ten years to caring for animals. While I found this work incredibly rewarding, it was also emotionally exhausting. The demands of the job led to health issues related to stress and compassion fatigue. During this challenging time, I turned to holistic health practices and discovered valuable tools to manage these challenges.
Through my holistic journey, I observed that many pets in the hospital developed conditions mirroring those of their owners. This insight underscored the profound energetic connection we share with our pets. I came to realize that our pets are sent to us as guides, helping us heal and grow together.
Today, as an Animal Connection Coach, I am committed to empowering animal caretakers to rediscover their purpose, prevent burnout, and build deep connections with the animals they care for. My goal is to create a supportive environment where both humans and animals can thrive.
In addition to my coaching practice, I run a pet-sitting business and have honed in on my ability to communicate with animals for the past three years. I hold certifications as an Animal Connection Coach, Reiki Level 2 practitioner, Sound Healer, Animal Massage Therapist, and Animal Communicator. These qualifications equip me with a diverse set of skills to support and guide you on your journey with your animal companions.
