Companion Animal Communicator and Death Doula - Nationwide

Verified Member since Jun 2026 Verified checkmark

I draw on my extensive training and experience with pet body language and behavior as a pet professional of 21 years. I am the Founder and Owner of Pawsitivity Pet Spa in Asheville, NC, where pets are honored as sentient beings and their comfort comes first. My pet professional experience combined with my lifelong Intuitive and Divination practice provide me with a deep understanding and connection with pets. I use a combination of modalities including Clairvoyance, Tarot and Runes to help facilitate conversations between pets and their owners. I was certified through the University of Vermont as a Certified Companion Animal Death Doula spring of 2025.

As a Companion Animal Death Doula, I hold compassionate support for both the pet and their owner to ease anticipatory grief and facilitate peaceful and meaningful time together. I provide loving support and guidance through end of life planning, including assisting the pet parent with identifying quality of life markers.

I provide animal communication sessions if desired to assist in collaborative end of life planning. I honor death as an important life passage and respect the pet and the pet parents choices and feelings about quality of life decisions. It is a great honor to provide emotional support for both the owner and pet for connection, conversation, and planning through honoring the bond of their relationship.

As a Sacred Space Holder I support my animal and human clients in connection, including with pets who have already crossed rainbow bridge. I’m honored to hold grief space for processing old wounds related to lost pet loved ones, and to assist with memorial alters and rituals that help my human clients have spaces to heal in. This can look like a memorial service, alter or grief garden planning, or talisman objects of remembrance.
