Need to knows:
Single animal communication sessions are for empathic animal lovers who want the chance understand what their pets have to share with them about their life and wellbeing.
The details
What you’ll get Single animal communication sessions give your pet the chance to talk about what they are feeling and what they want you to know. During your session, you can ask your pet questions and I’ll translate what I hear from them.

You know how even though you’re fairly intuitive in most areas of your life, but when something big crops up, tuning-in with your own pets is a entirely different story?
Like when your cuddle monster of a cat no longer wants to be held,
Or despite how many times you tell them they are okay-they don’t seem to believe you,
Or when your faced with making end-of-life decisions for your Soul dog,
Or getting closure after they have passed…
It can feel impossible to get past your projections and understand what your animals are feeling and have to share with you.
Let’s make it easier for both of you by supporting you to have an intuitive conversation so you can get to the heart of the issue.
“Thank you! 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

“I was blown away by Joanna's ability.
Joanna very gently and lovingly guided me through the communication and helped me understand the relationship between my cat and me, why we've struggled in the past, what her deepest wish was.
I've always loved and cherished animals but my work with Joanna transformed my view of their wisdom, level of awareness and spiritual maturity. Joanna's intuition and caring nature make her a wonderful guide on this journey to your heart and connection with your beloved animal.”
-Monika H. (Via Google Review)
Specific issues I love to help with…
Making big transitions easier…
So your pup knows what to expect before you bring them to their new home, so your cat can let go of their worry and know your kids will be safe when going off to college, so your animal pack can integrate smoothly when your moving in with your partner, and so your animal family knows what to expect, and you know how to best support them as your life together evolves.
Intuitive support for your shared healing journey
So you and your pet can team up as you tackle some of life’s bigger personal growth opportunities together. Whether you and your pet have similar trauma history or not, being able to talk with each other about what you are both here to learn and heal this lifetime can help you support one another on your healing journey.
Navigating illness with presence and love…
So your animal friend can voice what they want and don’t want when it comes to healing treatments and surgeries, so your dog can tell you exactly what’s on his bucket list, and so your cat can tell you all about what she needs from you so medicine time can go wayyy more smoothly for both of you.
Making end-of-life transitions less hard…
So both you and your animal friend have a safe and sacred setting to process your grief and tears, so you can understand exactly what kind of support your animal friend would like at the end of their life, and so you both have the chance to talk about the beautiful life you’ve lived together.
“Joanna was of invaluable service in communicating with my beloved companion dog, Bruno.
She sees, tastes, and smells the juicy sensations of what it means to be an animal.”
- Patricia M
I’ve been helping animal lovers have genuine heart-to-heart conversations with their animals for over two decades.
I’m all about enhancing your intuitive connection with your pets so your bond is deeper and your daily conversations with them are clearer.
I would love to give you and your pets….
Freedom from the guesswork
Trying to figure out what your animals are trying to tell you is hard work! It’s hard on your animals too. I would love to give you both a rest from the guesswork. You’ll breathe easier, and your animals don’t have to work so hard doing all those things that drive you bonkers… like peeing on the floor, picking fights and those epic staredowns that leave us humans questioning our very existence.
The warm fuzzy feel-goods
When you are on the same page with your animals everything feels right and true in the world. Your bonds feel stronger and both you the human and your animals know you have been heard and understood. I’d love to help you and your animals get that warm, fuzzy feel-good feeling of truly knowing you understand one another.
Validation you’re on the right track
There is nothing like the feeling of bone deep knowing that you, the human and your animals are on the same page when it comes to medication time, walks, and what our purpose is in this life together…. It frees you to simply enjoy each other’s company and get the most from your life and time together.
”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!"

What animal communication sessions are like
Sessions are relaxed, conversational and deeply profound.
During your session you can ask your animal friend questions and share what you’d like to tell them. All along, I’ll sharing with you what I hear from them.
How animal communication works from a distance
Since I’m an animal communicator and not an animal behaviorist, I don’t rely on reading their body language to hear what they have to say. This means you and your animal bestie get to cozy up on the sofa while you and I meet on the phone or in a zoom meeting.
No stressful travel time means happier animals.
AND… since I do my best work with the least amount of distraction, when we connect over the phone or zoom, sessions are clear and spot on.
“My dog of 14 years is at the end of her physical life and I had so many concerns for her. Joanna didn’t just put my concerns to rest, she validated the messages that I was already receiving from my dog. She gave me confidence in myself as well as the entire process and transition that my best friend is about to go thru. Everything that was discussed was solidly felt in my heart.
My concerns have diminished and I can focus on making my dog comfortable and enjoying these last couple days with her. Absolutely priceless.”
-C Ray (Via Google Review)
This is perfect for you if…
You’re all about being a part of the process, you want an animal communicator who will give you some DYI tips and invite you into the process
You’re here for your animals, but you’re okay if it’s a little about you too
You consider your animal friends family and will do just about anything to help them feel happy and loved
You have a good sense of what your animals feel about the little stuff, but struggle to sense what they feel and want about the big stuff
You’re all in for creating a strong collaboration with your animal friends, so you’re life together is healing and joyful for both of you. In fact you might even feel a little teary (in the best possible way) at the thought of being able to talk with your animal friend about what they want for your life together knowing you are giving them the chance to voice what they want for their life
Who this isn’t for…
If you believe animal communication is just a really cool parlor trick, and you’re here to have your mind “blown” with facts about your pet no one else would know. Yeah, that can be cool to experience, but it’s not why I offer this work. I’m much more interested in helping you and your pet have genuine and authentic conversations and do the big work needed to understand one another so you can create a happier, more balanced life together.
If you want someone to just tell your pets to “stop” a behavior, I’m not your gal. Sessions are about exploring why they are doing it and working with them to facilitate a healthy outcome for both of you.
If you are looking for a diagnosis of a medical issue or as a replacement for veterinary care or training again, I’m not the communicator for you. (Let’s leave that important work to those who are trained in those fields)
I AM here to help you to understand what your animals are feeling and needing, freeing you both team up and collaborate to create a more peaceful, loving life together.
“A worthy investment! We learned so much about the different needs and life experiences each of our dogs have, what we were already doing that was supportive, and some changes to make so that we can better meet their individual needs.
We appreciated Joanna's compassion, awareness, attentiveness, wit, sensitivity, bringing in consent, and her loving approach. We came away from the session with a deeper connection with our animal friends, full hearts, clarity, insight, a handful of action items, and resources.”

“We worked with Joanna with two different pets. The first time was a series of sessions when our previous dog was dying from cancer. It was so healing and comforting to be able to have conversations with him before he passed and once after he passed.
We then also worked with her when we got our next dog, a rescue. She helped us learn more about his previous life and preferences, and she also helped him be more comfortable with car rides. We noticed a significant difference in his anxiety in cars after she spoke with him. It’s truly such a gift to be able to have conversations with our animal friends and we are so grateful to have found Joanna.”

Have questions?
Check out these FAQs about my animal communication services
+What is an animal communication session like?
Once we start our call, we (the humans) will chat for a few minutes about what outcome you hope to receive from your session and go over what you’d like to talk with your animal friend(s) about. Then I’ll guide you through a short grounding meditation to tune to help us tune-in with your animal friend. I’ll be quiet for about a minute as I tune in and then I’ll start translating for your animal. From their the conversation will be conversational. With you asking your animal friend questions and follow up questions if needed while I translate. The whole process is relaxed and offers you space to connect deeply with your animals while learning about their feeling and needs and what they have to share with you.
+ How will I know you are actually talking with my pet?
If you are here checking out this work, I'm guessing you are already pretty intuitive. You most likely know what it feels like in your body when you are being lied to, scammed or when someone isn't telling you the whole story. All that ick produces a fairly distinct sense in the body too. You might feel it in your gut, your chest or throat. You might notice your breath freeze or your muscles tense up.
At the start of every conversation, I'll remind you that this work is much more of an art than it is a science and that you are a vital part of process of assuring this work feels true and correct for you. If at any time during the session you get that "funny feeling " or icky sense like I'm missing the mark (it doesn't happen often, but it does sometimes, because I am human after all!) I ask that you tell me right away as soon as it comes up during the session, so I can check my work and re-tune my intuitive antenna to make sure what I am sharing is coming from your animal beloved.
+How much information do you want about my pet before a session?
I need enough information to know what you want from the session and what your goals for the session to make sure I can help you with what you are wanting, and where to focus my intuitive antenna.
You'll find I ask some fairly specific questions on my scheduling form for this reason. You'll also find some really helpful tips in your appointment confirmation on how to word questions to give me the right amount of information - without giving me so much that I have trouble staying neutral as I listen and translate for what your pet has to share with you.
What I can't do is know what to ask your pets, what to talk with or ask them about without any (or very limited) guidance from you. Going into a session with this assumption is a little like someone asking someone who doesn't know you, to do your weekly grocery shopping without telling them what you need or want. You'll end up with a shopping cart full of groceries but most of if may not fit your dietary restrictions or preferences and chances are you'll be very disappointed!
A major misconception about this work is that I see and know everything about you and your pet as soon as we start our call. That is not how this all works, I'm not a magic all-knowing wizard (I mean yikes! Who would want to know everything about someone!?!) Your questions (and your participation) help me to know where to focus my intuitive antenna, what specifically you'd like to ask your pet about, and if I'm on track to meet your goals for the session.
+ Can you give me specific details, like how old my pet is?
As a translator, I can only share with you what your pets know themselves. Like our pets, if we lived in a world without calendars, clocks or math, chances are we wouldn't keep track of how old we are either.
And yet, your pet may not know how old they are, with the right kinds of questions, they most likely will share what kinds of experiences have impacted them during their life so far, which in the end gives you so much more information about who they are and their unique view of the world and their life.
+I'd like to set up a session for all of my pets, but your session options only allow for three pets. Can we set up a session to talk with everyone?
We can, but my personal limit is talking with three pets in one session. After the third pet, my brain turns to mashed potatoes!
The best way to talk to a big group, be it a barn full of horse friends, or a giant home full of fur, fluff, feathers and scales, is to set up multiple sessions to give everyone the chance to share what is on their mind and in their hearts.
+Other Animal communicators offer email only sessions. Is this something you offer?
Every animal communicator works their magic in unique ways... My magic flows best when I’m meeting live on a zoom or phone call with the my human clients, so they have the chance to have a true conversation with their animals. I’ve found that email only sessions are able to create a one way conversation only - which is why I don’t offer this service.
+ Don't you need to meet my animal or be in the same room as them to be able to talk with them?
No, it is actually better if I don’t. In 15 years of offering animal communication, I have found that sessions are more detailed, focused and clear when animals are in the comfort of their own home, with their people, without the distractions of a visitor.
The subtle work of listening to what animals have to say intuitively requires a quiet, meditative space. Personally, I find the busyness from activity, even wonderful busyness like wiggly animals (and their humans!) actually makes it harder for clear animal communication to happen. It is just too much extra stimulation to focus in and hear animals clearly.
Plus, since I don’t read animals body language, but rather listen intuitively with quiet inward reflection, I don’t need to be in the same room with them. I also don’t need to be in the physical presence of their energy, I just need a photo of them to know where to focus my intuitive antenna, if you will. It’s all a pretty cool process! I love working at a distance and hope you’ll give it a try.
Once you book your session, all I will need is a photo of your pets and your permission during your session to talk with your animal friend. All you need to do is cozy up on the sofa with your beloved animal (or near them at the barn), while you're on the phone or zoom with me, and listen to what they have to share with you.
+ My Pet is lost. Can you help me?
I am sorry, no. I do not offer sessions for lost animals. Animals who are lost are often afraid and on the move making locating them using animal communication extremely difficult and cost prohibitive.
For the best possible outcome, if your pet has gone missing, I highly recommend locating an animal tracker in your area within 24 hours of when your pet has gone missing.
+ Can you tell me what is medically going on with my animal?
Medical diagnosis and medical care is outside of the scope of animal communicators and offering medical diagnosis or treatment without a medical license is actually against the law. In your session, your pet can share what they are feeling and what they feel they need, but we will have to leave the diagnosis and treatment up to trained medical professionals.
+ I only have one or two quick questions. Can we book a session that is just a few minutes?
I work holistically with animals, meaning I look at the whole picture, listen to the whole story, this process takes time and can not be rushed. We will make good use of every minute of the hour we spend together giving you SO much to work with and implement.
+ Can you communicate with an animal that does not belong to me, such as my mom’s dog or my neighbor's cat?
I only offer sessions with clear permission from the animal's owner. Once we have permission set up a session. If they would like, the animal’s owner is also welcome on our call.
+ I want to meet with you in person. Is this possible?
I only offer sessions over the phone and via Zoom video. As this gives you the clearest best results So… as amazing and awesome as I know you are, please know I am not making exceptions.
+ I have questions for you before booking a session. How can I connect with you?
Once you’ve looked over my FAQs and my fee structure you’re welcome to contact me using my contact form. Please be as specific in your question as possible when reaching out. Please note: I don’t offer sessions for missing animals and I am unable to offer emergency or after hour sessions.

Client Reviews
We found Joanna to be incredibly skilled and accurate.
Our cats have very different personalities, and she totally represented each one so accurately! We feel an even deeper connection with each of them. It was a wonderful and helpful experience!
- Cathy A - via Google Reviews
“Joanna has a true gift. Our call with her was deeply moving and left us with a different dimension of understanding and appreciation of the energy and environment we create for our dog. It was profoundly useful for us as we learn how to give our dog a spectacular life.”
- Kate - Via Google Reviews
“I want you to know how much the information you relayed to us helped “Whiskey” in her last months on this earth.
It was invaluable and for that I thank you.”
~ Lisa and Jen - past clients
“Joanna gave us wonderful, insightful information about our Border Collie boy Jesse, and helped us find ways to deal with a couple of challenging issues.
She is the perfect conduit if you want to communicate with your animal friends and find out what they’re thinking/feeling/needing. The session was also very reaffirming for us in terms of our own intuitions about Jesse. I highly recommend Joanna!”
-Ingeborg -Via Google Reviews
“We lost our fur baby traumatically and were looking to communicate with her in hopes of some closure around the event. In our session we not only found what we were looking for, but we learned more about our sweet girl.
Joanna was accurate and descriptive on many levels. She helped heal our hearts and made us more at peace. We now know how to move forward with keeping our dogs spirit close and more importantly knowing what our dog needs in this process of the after life.
I hope more owners like ourselves choose to seek out help like this. It certainly has made us want to communicate better with our living pets and future pets as well. Thank you Joanna :)”
-Jordan - Via Google Review
“The help you gave me with Rex and our agility training is unbelievable! I have implemented a few of the suggested exercises and training methods and see great progress.
In fact, last Friday, out of 5 courses, he never dropped one bar or missed any contacts!! We hardly ever go off course anymore but if we do, it's clearly my fault- not an issue with uncertainty caused by my hesitation. I am VERY pleased with the results and I think Rex is less frustrated with me!"
~Tammy - Past client
“There is such a positive change with Jack today. On our walk this morning it was obvious that he looked unburdened and lighter. We have a much deeper understanding of Jack which makes us love him even more. Thank you so much. ”
~ Geoffrey, Maria and Jack -Past client
“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.
She helped me to see things about our 2-year old dog that I kinda knew but couldn't quite put into words. She also provided such accurate information about the needs of the puppy we were about to adopt, that I still quote her to this day. Receiving this reading helped to make the integration with our new puppy so much easier for everyone.
Joanna is such a treasured healer. I proudly drop her name anytime a friend is looking for help with their pet.”
