For most of my life I’ve been caring and communicating with animals, especially dogs. At age 7, walking home with my first puppy snuggled under my chin, I fell in love and was forever bonded with dogs.

At age 9, dog training came naturally to me. My pup and I won the blue ribbon in dog obedience, competing against mostly adults in the county fair.  It came easily as my dog and I seemed to instinctively understand and trust each other.

Years later, I adopted a black Labrador puppy found in a box on the side of the freeway. I resumed dog training, we excelled as a team, and because of my previous traumatic injuries from a car accident I was inspired  to help others by becoming a certified Pet Partners Animal Assisted Therapy Team with my dog Sam. For years we worked in a traumatic injury rehab center, and regularly visited the Children’s Hospital in San Antonio, TX. 

After a long and happy life he passed away. I then fostered a dog named Teddy, adopted him, and due to a full house of dogs, started working as an animal and home evaluator for rescue groups.  Working with hundreds of dogs and families,  I further developed my skills at intuitively understanding a variety of types of dogs and their situations.

Getting certified as an Animal Communicator enables me to continue caring for dogs and helping people better understand what's going on with their dog. With a Masters in International Education and Communication from Teachers College, Columbia University, I am grateful to use my lifelong experiences as an educator to teach and support  those who love and work with dogs on how to better understand and maintain a happy, healthy relationship with their dog, in and out of the doghouse! 

I’m always excited to visit and chat with a dog or provide energy healing,  I promise our time together will enhance your care and relationship with your dog. Animal communications and working with dogs are very special gifts in my life. Contact me now to set an appointment to sit and chat!  You won't be disappointed!
