Animal Intuitive & Animal Reiki Master - Nationwide

Verified Member since May 2024 Verified checkmark

Hi! Thanks for visiting! As a former veterinary technician with years of hands-on experience in rescue, fostering, and TNR, I bring both clinical understanding and deep compassion to every session.

I specialize in animal communication and energy healing, helping you understand your pet’s thoughts, emotions, and needs—whether you’re navigating behavioral concerns, health questions, or simply wanting a deeper connection.

In a session, I connect directly with your animal and share clear, grounded insight about what they’re experiencing. I also work with the emotional and energetic dynamic between you and your pet, as many challenges are rooted in this relationship. By addressing both sides, we create lasting shifts in behavior, harmony, and trust.

I am a Certified Animal Reiki Master Teacher, and I gently incorporate energy healing to support your pet’s nervous system, emotional balance, and overall wellbeing.

For those open to it, I may also receive intuitive impressions or deeper guidance that supports your pet’s healing journey, including messages from pets who have crossed over.

My approach is compassionate, honest, and judgment-free. My goal is to help you feel more confident, connected, and at peace—knowing you truly understand your animal.

What you can expect from a session:

* Direct communication with your pet
* Insight into behaviors, emotions, or changes
* Support with anxiety, transitions, or health-related concerns
* Strengthening of your bond and mutual understanding
* Gentle energetic support through Reiki

My sessions are conducted remotely in my Florida home. I enter a state of meditation while I connect with your pet, and will not be on the phone or zoom with you during the session. I will either call you after the session or send a written summary, the choice is yours!

Love and Purrs,
Donna

My cat went missing. Donna told me exactly where he is and even convinced him to come out to me. Will be referring her to everyone I know.

My pleasure Alison! Dilly is such a cutie!

- Donna Balletta

It was great.

Donna was incredibly kind and supportive while I was navigating a difficult time with my sick cat. She communicated clearly and thoughtfully, and she continued to answer my follow-up questions with patience. Her insights were detailed and practical, and I believe her background as a vet tech helped her narrow down potential issues and offer meaningful recommendations. It was great experience and I'd recommend her.
