Pet Loss and Grief Counseling and Coaching - Nationwide
When an animal transitions out of the body, or is preparing to do so, many questions arise. Talking to someone who communicates with animals who have crossed over, or who are preparing to cross over, gives you clarity and ease in a troubled time.
Talking to a trained counselor to help you with your grief, allows you to find peace in a time of heart ache.
Because of my background as an LMFT/PhD grief counselor, my coaching can help soothe your heart. As an animal intuitive and human intuitive, I let you know the experience your animal is having so you can navigate without fear.
Dr Laurie Moore, author, key note speaker and Satsang- seminar leader for over two decades has appeared in over a hundred venues including CNN.com, Fox New, CBS top radio, Beyond the Ordinary, BatGap, Alara Canfield, Species Link, BatGap and many more. She values all people and animals with heart to heart listening.

Customer Reviews
She gave me clarity about the questions I had about my life and I felt at peace. Her healing energy is soothing and high vibrational.
- Anne HLaurie is a truly amazing light being! Her kindness, love, and humor she brings to the table are unlike anyone else I have ever encountered! Her readings are spot on and so insightful! I would recommend her to every single person needing a guiding light! Thank you for all your love, grace, and guidance! Sending you so much love in return!
- Caitlyn PI'm the only cowboy I know who consults an animal communicator. But when I need one, I turn to only Dr. Laurie Moore. My good ranch horse Sandy died unexpectedly. My excellent horse vet couldn't figure out what her problem was but her blood labs showed she was a dying animal. Laurie was able to communicate with her and my other horses who Sandy left behind, including her colt, Pumpkin. Through the understanding we received from Laurie, my kids and I were able to replace loss with love and a great deal of understanding. To me, everything is energy and consciousness. Thought is energy and consciousness, and that never dies. So it's not that much of a stretch to appreciate that some people like Laurie are gifted with multi-sensory perceptive abilities to be able to reach and understand animals, even if they have transitioned, as my horse Sandy did. Laurie has not physically met my horses, dogs or my daughter's cat. But she perceived their individual personalities precisely as we know them. She described my senior mare, Lady, my gelding Dodger, and Sandy's colt (who is Lady's grandson) exactly as we know them and what their experiences were with Sandy's death. Laurie was able to help us all transform a very sad experience into something beautiful and touching. Although I don't really look forward to going through this again, with the ages of my horses it won't be long before I have to. When that happens, to ease through it, I'll no doubt be talking to Laurie again. I recorded my phone session with her and I'm so happy to share it with my kids and friends. Thank you, Laurie! We all really appreciate you and your gentle way.
- George HDr. Laurie Moore truly is a miracle. Her guidance for both animals and humans is extraordinary as she is able to precisely and clearly perceive many streams of information from multiple realities. She is the real deal, functioning from a heart space fully centered in love and unity. She can move quickly with you, offering so much insight in a short amount of time, and also very gently, as she knows the landscape of the heart. I'm so grateful for her and her work!
- Christine LDr. Laurie is a deeply intuitive and highly skilled facilitator for anyone hoping to break through their own internal patterns or perceived external barriers. Resolutions can come very quickly with her and in such a loving and supportive way! She can also help immensely with understanding and clarifying relationships and dynamics between people, animals and/or organizations. Working with Laurie is an investment and a tool for change.
- Elyse PI can't say enough about Laurie. As I told her recently, I just don't need to worry that there will be anything she won't pick up on, not corners or unspoken assumptions/worries she will leave out. I can just trust her to notice and address the things that need healing.
- Zoe KReviews are difficult in that I can't shout as loudly as I'd often like to about the honesty, integrity, fun and truth that comes from my talks with Laurie Moore. She's deeply tuned-in due to her years of paying attention and practice, combined with her soul's purpose and her passion. Her ability to listen and respond on the highest level and yet on a mundane level as well, makes each chat significant and vitally important to my life's journey and that of any animal companions that I might have. She is a treasure.
- JD DWe love you Laurie! Thanks for everything you do. You are always a great help spiritually and always available when needed. In fact, you seem to sense when you are needed! Bless you.
- David RMy experience with Dr. Laurie left me happy and inspired. She is such a kind and sweet person. She let me know how my pets are doing and how they experience our family dynamics. She let me know that they’re needs are being met and answered questions I had. It was very illuminating and so nice to be able get direct info for my sweet cat and dog.
