Animals respond so well to energy work! For stress, emotional imbalance, and when your beloved furry friend isn't feeling well....the gentle healing of Reiki, coupled with flower essence therapy, can make a huge difference. As a 30 year energy healer and intuitive, I can sense your animal's energy and offer what's needed, and as a communicator I can also ask the animal to tell me or show me what is going on. If you are working with a veterinarian, the energy work will help your furry friend to relax, to heal and to receive the most benefit from whatever you are doing for him or her.

I also will encourage, empower and teach you how to hear your animal's messages intuitively (telepathically) and interpret their body language.

I invite you to take the first step by scheduling an initial consultation with me. During this session, we will explore how my services can best support your needs and those of your furry family member.

Let's work together to bring peace, healing and understanding to your beloved pet and your household. Ready to get started? Book me through Petworks today!

Communication & Healing Complete Package
$ 180.00 Per Package book

Includes the following: 1) Initial consultation 2) The session itself of animal communication and/or energy healing. 3) Conversaton after the session, to review what was covered in the session, plus other follow up recommendations. May include suggested flower essence if called for. 4) The package fee is based on up to 2 hours of my time.
Note: This work is effective! Usually a single package is all that is needed. Once in a while, if the animal has had a lot of trauma or difficult situations, or the situation is complex (eg multiple animals, a move, change in the household) one or two more sessions may be needed.

Initial Consultation (20-30 minutes)
$ 50.00 Per 30 minutes book

We explore your reason for wanting healing or communication services--what is going on with the animal. I will make recommendations, and explain how I do my work. I also let you know how we will proceed, if you decide to work with me. If you hire me, the initial consultation fee is counted towards your first session.
