Intuitive support to help you hear what your pets are feeling and wanting so you can move forward with understanding and love.

Exquisitely Grounded Animal Communication

Release the stress of guessing and truly understand what your animal friends have to tell you.

Maybe you’re here because…

Something has been feeling off between you and your animal friends and no matter how hard you try you can’t seem to figure it out on your own,

Or perhaps you’ve been through a big life change that you and your pet are struggling to adjust to - and it’s leading to miss-communication and behavior issues,

Or maybe you are second guessing if it’s time to bring another pet into the home, or struggling to sense what your current pet wants (or do not want) for their life, health and well being.

And… you are ready to listen to your pets and understand what they are struggling with and why so you can do everything within your power to help them feel safe and loved.

You, Dear One, are in the right place.

Animal communication helps you and your beloved pets have intuitive conversations so you can truly understand one another and team up to tackle the big issues together with presence and love.

Animal Communication sessions can feel a little like snuggling in and having an intuitive chat with your animal beloved over a cup of your favorite tea.

It’s not about just waving a magic wand and fixing what ails them (that’s not how this works),

Rather it IS about helping you understand your pet’s feelings from their perspective and discovering what they need from you to feel safe, happy and loved.

“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.”

I’m Joanna,

I am a highly trained, trauma informed, intuitive animal communicator who has been supporting sensitive animal lovers and their pets talk through big decisions, navigate illness and create a life together built on kindness and trust for nearly 30 years.

I’m a little like an Intuitive Fairy Godmother, who’s here to help you and your pets have soulful conversations with one another about the big and little things, so you can truly understand one another.

This deeply healing work is about supporting you and your animal friends create a lasting intuitive connection that is rooted in understanding and grounded in love.

And Dear Intuitive One, I’d love to support you too, so you and your pets are empowered to co-create a beautiful and joyful life together.

Here’s how I can help you and your pets…

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 trust building, bond deepening, 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.

What clients say

  • ”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!"

    - Maria

  • “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.”

  • "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!"

  • "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.”

    — Cheyenne

  • "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

  • "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.

  • “I learned new ways to be more aware of my own energy, how to be more responsible with it...

    How to go from the mindset of protecting my energy to simply embodying it at all times. I was able to apply what I was learning in real time, and in real life situations as they unfolded. I’m grateful for Joanna’s guidance and knowledge during those times.”
