Intuitive Soul Work & Animal Communication for Sensitive Empaths

Hey, I’m Joanna

I’m an Intuitive practitioner and animal communicator who has been supporting energy-sensitive empaths deepen their embodied connection with their center, intuition, and their animal family for over 20 years.

Think of me like an Intuitive Fairy Godmother, who is here as a supportive intuitive ally to lovingly guide you home to yourself when the noise of the outside world is louder than your own inner knowing.

Everything I do here is about supporting you to deepen your connection with your center, intuition, and your pets, so you feel resourced from within and confident to move forward with love.

What clients say

  • Book resting on a mossy backdrop with smooth stones and flowers. Book cover reads, "When Spirit and Earth Meet"

    "Your book is a treasure.

    It’s completely flipped the way I walk through the day. I never realized how heavy and to me hurtful defensive protective boundaries were! I never got the chance to feel how my own energy works because I was so busy being afraid and feeling vulnerable.”

    ”Joanna made me see how my beautiful new pet mirrored me,

    and that we both had a similar journey of healing ahead of us. It opened up an opportunity that I hadn't anticipated. Thank you, Joanna!"

    “Receiving this reading helped to make the integration with our new puppy so much easier for everyone.

    I have received many different types of readings over the years and can honestly say that this animal communication session with Joanna was one of the best.”

    “Missing piece soul tracker Joanna has helped me, she’s helped my friends, and she can help you, too. 

    She is one sweet, healing, woman with a lot of magic in her medicine bag”

    "Joanna provided what I can only describe as a family counseling session with myself and my cat.

    "Joanna's gentleness and empathy helped me hear parts of my cat's experience with an open heart. The experience is trippy as all hell and in no way feels false or made-up. More so, it feels like a beautiful window of understanding is now open in me and tuned into the awareness that all sentient beings have something
    to say. I'm listening!"

    “You found me again, I don't think I had seen her since she was just a tiny child.

    My life doesn't look anything like it did before and to that I say FUCK YES! And THANK YOU, Joanna. Sincerely.”

    "Monks has been noticeably more confident, Sophie less fearful.

    We the humans too have a better understanding of how to communicate to the furry girls- all around a successful change! You are amazing!”

    -Rob, Keri, Ryan and the "furry girls

  • Pet medium, Joanna in a white sweater sitting next to a black and tan resting dog

    "Joanna's insight into my dog's anxiety was incredible.

    She found items in our household that were triggering her and was able to communicate to us for her why it was happening. I was skeptical prior to the session, but after - a true believer of Joanna's gifts! We followed her suggestions and saw a profound positive change in Nellie that lasted the rest of her life.

    I have worked with Joanna for years, using her for communication with my dogs (both living and those who have passed).

    Working with Joanna is magical, touching, wonderful ... the emotions! The stories our furry loved ones tell us via Joanna ... truly amazing. The opportunity to communicate back to them ... equally amazing. I treasure Joanna and her abilities. A very special woman.
