-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, embodied, inner spiritual work, we are going to get along really well.

Everything I do around here is about supporting you in doing the big inner work of deepening your connections with your animals, yourself and your intuition.

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

  • You are well tuned-in with the needs of animals and people you meet, sometimes a little too tuned-in

  • You know life is richer and balanced when you're connected with your inner knowing, even though it’s hard to sense what your own animals need when you’re stressed out or worried (who isn’t these days?)

  • You’ve heard about animal communication, maybe even have had a session or two, and you’re all in and ready to hear what your pet’s have to share with you

  • You’re here for to connect with your animal friends but you’re okay if the session is a little about you too

  • Maybe you even hold full-on conversations over breakfast with your Soul Mate dog friend who passed years ago…

And you want more of this. You want more magic in your everyday life. You want magic as a way of life. As a way to live more fully. This is exactly what I’m about too.

I am so glad you are here.

A few fun facts about me….

I am a homebody who loves to listen to podcasts, garden and be crafty,

I’ve written two books 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 woven in with heaping doses of dreamy energy work like Reiki, Polarity and Chakra Balancing.

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

I love this work. I believe in the power it has to help us heal our pasts and stay connected with our humanity, so we able to LOVE more deeply, live with more JOY. It’s such an honor to share it with you.

Intuitive One, this is what I want for you…

- To UNDERSTAND what your animals are feeling and need to be happy

-To feel resourced to learn what your animals are teaching you and empowered in what you have to teach them

- To feel intuitively CONNECTED with your animals in exceptionally grounded ways in daily life

- To be able to co-create a beautiful, joyful, loving, and magical life with the animals lucky enough to share this life with you

Here are my promises to YOU:

I get you.

I honor your story, path, and wisdom, and I will treat you 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 has to share with you and the ability of this work to open hearts and deepen bonds. Tears are safe and welcome here.

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.

 

I will tell you like it is.

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

Intuitive one, I am honored to begin with you.
