I specialize in cats - they're part of my mission in life, but I also work with any & all animals, domestic or wild. I am an animal communicator, behavioral problem specialist, teacher, & healer. I also specialize in end-of-life assistance for animals. One of my tools is Reiki & you can read previous blogs on the subject to know just what that is, or ask me. S.D. in Pittsburgh had a cat with recurring urinary tract problems & credits me with helping him heal quickly through Reiki. I was also able to communicate with him after he healed, to tell him to start using the litter box again. He was afraid of the box because he associated the pain from urinating during his illness with the box. One session was all it took. S.B. in Pittsburgh had a cat with advanced stage cancer when I started doing Reiki on her. I didn't heal her with the Reiki, but between times she seemed on death's door. He told me he could always tell when I'd done Reiki on her because she perked up & showed some life & energy for awhile afterwards. When the time came, I did Reiki & told her what was about to happen, while the vet was on the way. Then I did Reiki on her again during her appointment to be put to sleep. That eases their discomfort & distaste of being handled, which gets worse when they're sick. They are also able to say their goodbyes through me, messages I pass on afterwards. S.D. called me an "end of life midwife." I like that. My beloved grandmother was a country midwife for awhile, & it's the end of earth life in this incarnation but a rebirth into the spirit world.
I will be teaching animal communication, how to understand your pets, & how to solve behavior problems. I will also continue working with pets & their people one-on-one on these things. I'd like to do more Reiki for animals, especially as an "end of life midwife" because it's the most profound connection & experience I've ever had with animals. It's not easy on me, because I pick up on all the thoughts & emotions of the animal at the time, & pick up some of the emotions from the people. But in many cases the animal is entirely grateful to be put out of his/her misery & totally ready to go. In cases where more time with the person is desired, it's harder for me. But I am able to assist their passage with grace & love, & it's the biggest honor I've ever experienced. At that time they open their entire hearts & souls to me, & I am always so touched by the experience. They share with me so that they are fully known & so I can fully pass the messages on to their people. They share with me because of what I'm doing for them, & allow me in completely. In their final moments, they want their people to know of their love for them, that they don't wish to leave them but wish to move beyond the pain. Animals have the sweetest, purest souls I've ever known & each time I get to experience them in this way, I'm changed. I too grow in love & purity, as hopefully their people were also able to do in the pet's lifetime. Which brings me to the subject of my credentials for what I do. This certainly is one of them.
I've had a wide variety of life training & experience for everything I do, including my work with animals. By all standards, I've had a very tough life, & have overcome a lot of pain & trouble. I call myself a triumphant survivor. It has purified my heart & given me compassion for all suffering & struggles. I've always had a huge heart for animals - can remember being abnormally loving & sensitive to them from early childhood. In my teens my animal magnetism, as I call it, began to become apparent to me. I would "talk" with squirrels - chattering back & forth with them even though I didn't know what we were saying. We both had fun with it. I gently caught a trapped bird with my bare hands & released her. She somehow got into the basement, fortunately in a small room with an inner door & a door to the outside. She was too confused to simply fly out the outer door I opened, so I had to calm her & catch her. I used to transport animals & birds for a wildlife & rehabilitation sanctuary. One time I had to catch wild ducks so they could be transferred away from contaminated waters. Now I attract groundhogs to wherever I live - they gravitate toward living near me. I attract cats that have been dumped. And many wild animals, birds, butterflies, moths, & lightning bugs come near me or lite on me, check me out when I sit outside. Wild things & domestic animals are attracted to my energy.
As far as domestic pets, I've litter trained a house rabbit & thus came to know them inside & out. I've had mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, dogs, & cats. I grew up with dogs, then had cats start happening to me as an adult because cats are part of my life mission. I will not rest until all cats obtain the status they deserve. They are not throw aways, or toys to be abused or neglected. They can't fend for themselves if you dump them some place because they're no longer little kittens. They are highly sensitive, feeling, caring individuals. Most are not anti-social. If you encounter one, it's because people have done them wrong. Cats willfully chose to be domesticated many years ago, from African Wildcats, if I recall the name correctly. They chose to share their lives with us & subject themselves to us entirely for our benefit, not theirs. They chose to give up their independence to live in service to humans, just as I have chosen to serve God by serving mankind, cats, other animals. Good analogy - with both retain our inner independence & sense of self but have chosen to live in service, & therefore some dependency. Cats are much more dependent on us as a result than I am on others. They have made the biggest sacrifice because they are nearly totally helpless without us. For example, if you declaw a cat you take away his ability to defend himself. If you keep a cat indoors exclusively, you take away all his ability to feed himself. (This one I do, for their protection & safety.) By putting themselves under our care they've also opened themselves up to all kinds of abuse & neglect.
My biggest teachers, who have equipped me for what I do, are the animals themselves, especially cats. I learn from every animal I encounter because I'm able to read them, understand them, feel them, & communicate with them. I understand how animals think, what makes them "tick." I live with cats who teach me regularly & share themselves with me, so I get daily lessons. I also got specific training from my Bonnie back in the 1990s. Bonnie is my heart, was born in my home & with me for 7 short years. She's been in spirit for 11 years now but is one of my guides, with me always. Bonnie spent time telepathically teaching me what it's like to be a cat - values, how they think, Cat 101-103 from the cat herself. So I learn from the best. During those years I was also learning a lot from "Cat Fancy" magazine, had a subscription for about 20 years. A word about fees - I mentioned my dependency earlier. I do this work & my work in service for people full time so need income from it. I work by donation or exchange of goods or services. I find that if you don't respect my work enough to at least make it an exchange, it doesn't work as well as it can, any of it. People simply don't value such services given entirely freely. I've tried exchanges like: change your behaviors & work with me or pray for me or whatever. What happens is that the people get lazy & caught up in their own dramas & forget to be grateful in some way for my efforts on their behalf. You need the gratitude - not me. It's an attitude that allows good things to flow to you. All I absolutely need from you is occasional feedback & participation. So I will tell you that I will not give away my services freely but I also will not charge you for them. If you decide to make a donation of money, I leave the amount entirely up to you - what you feel you can & what you feel my service is worth to you. Exchanges are worked out on an individual basis, & again, are at your discretion. I won't turn anyone away, but as I said, there's got to be some exchange for optimal power.
