-About-

Hey, I’m Joanna

Animal Lover, Gardener, Trekkie,

And quite possibly the most down to earth, grounded, intuitive animal communicator around.

Dear Intuitive One,

If you're an animal loving, sensitive type who is into grounded, personal growth and spiritual work, I have a feeling we are going to get along really well.

Everything I do around here is about supporting you in deepening your intuitive connection with your animals by supporting you in having in-depth, soulful conversations with them.

And if you’re here, I bet I know a few things about you (and not just because I’m intuitive). 

  • You’re really comfortable with soulful, big picture, intuitive and non-linear stuff. You might occasionally get stuck in your head, but you tend to feel more comfortable being guided by your heart.

  • Personal growth and inner work isn’t optional for you. Reflecting, journaling, or meditating about big soul stuff like what your purpose is and what you are here to learn, heal and overcome, is second nature to you.

  • Even when your fur-friends are at their worst - you’re all in.  They are your family, your kids, your soulmates, your wise animal familiars, and you are committed to making sure you understand the whole picture about what’s got their fur in a fluff so you can help them get back on the path to feeling their best. 

  • You’re not new to intuitive work. Maybe your counselor is a little witchy (and you love that!), or you are naturally intuitive yourself, or perhaps you’ve been wading in these deep waters for decades. You’re not here to test the waters or see if this work is really-real, you’ve got your intuitive goggles handy and you - are all in

  • You’re here to have soulful conversations with your animal friends and you’re okay if the session is a little about you too, because you two are a like two peas in the same intuitive pod.

  • You are not looking for someone to tell you your, or your pets future. You’re all about delving into the wonder and magic of the here and now!

  • You’re here to have soulful conversations with your animal friends and you’re okay if the session is a little about you too. You get that you and your animal friends are a team and for positive change and understanding to happen you are a vital piece of the equation and conversation.

  • And even though you’re fairly intuitive in most areas of your life, you’re struggling right now to understand what your own animals are trying to tell you…

    Maybe you’re struggling knowing what your pet is feeling and wanting regarding a new (and kinda scary) medical diagnosis, or you want to know how to best help your new rescued animal settle in to your family, or you’re normally strong intuition is paralyzed with grief and want to know how to best support your animal beloved at the end of their life. 

Dear Intuitive One, I’m glad you are here. I’d love to support you and your pets have heartfelt conversations so you can understand one another and create a life together that is rooted in love and trust.

A few fun facts about me….

I am a homebody who loves to listen to podcasts, garden, create art and hang out (and chat!) with the animals in my life.

I’m blissfully married to my animal loving, auto mechanic husband, Steve, of 28 years,

I’ve written two books about rebuilding your energy boundary after trauma - despite having dyslexia and dyscalculia,

I’m an animist and I genuinely believe in fairies, elves, and Devas.

My kryptonite? Bull dogs in PUFFY JACKETS.

My Story

I started my educational deep dive into all things witchy and intuitive at the wee age of 12 with classes in Reiki, channeling, automatic writing and animal communication.

I opened my healing practice wayyy back in 1996. (Eeek! I was SO YOUNG!!) Back then my focus was intuitive massage therapy and deeply embodied shamanic healing.

In 2008, after decades of study, and years of apprenticeships, I shifted gears to offering intuitive animal communication. And I love this work.

Animals make life better and I believe the best way to honor them is to listen to their wisdom about how they see the world, us and our life together.

Intuitive One, this is what I want for you…

- To UNDERSTAND your animals as the unique and wise individuals they are so you don’t have to rely on generic generalizations about what they might be feeling or needing to be happy

- To feel CONNECTED and deeply bonded with your animal friends so you’re free to enjoy every single precious moment you have together  

- To feel EMPOWERED in how to best move forward so you are at ease and your pets feel heard, understood and loved.

Here are my promises to YOU:

I honor you and your animals

I honor your story, path, and your own wisdom, and I will treat you and your pets with profound reverence. I am certain you and your animal friends deserve the very best I have to offer.

Your grief is welcome here

I witness daily the power that comes with finally hearing what your animal friends have to share with you and the profound nature this work has to open hearts and deepen bonds. You are safe here and your tears are welcome.

I believe in you

I believe in your intuitive gifts. Working with an animal communicator doesn’t mean you are not intuitive, it means you understand we all need support. My role is support you, your pets (and your own intuitive knowing).

I will tell you like it is

I will share what I hear from your animals as clearly as possible and I share it in a common language- with the perfect amount of swearing. I’ll deliver your pet’s insights with profound integrity, healthy boundaries, and heart-felt transparency.

Intuitive one, I am honored to begin with you.

Here are our options for connecting

Single Animal Communication Sessions

Let’s get to the heart of the matter

Single sessions are a great way to get started with me and to experience the bond enhancing, trust building and heart-opening aspects of this beautiful work.

During your session, I will translate for your animal friends and support you and your pets in having an intuitive conversation to help you understand one another and what they need from you at this time to feel happy and know they are loved.
