Since a young age, I have been on a spiritual and healing quest, wanting to discover the mystery of life and after-life through my meditations, the reading of sacred texts, and the messages of enlightened beings who have shared their wisdom and knowledge. Through my years of dedication towards my spiritual awakening, I was blessed with some experiences that took me through the veil of ordinary reality and revealed within myself the other realms of existence. These moments of grace made me realize the perfection of source energy, love, and infinite intelligence, leaving me feeling humble and filled with love and compassion for all beings.

 

Moving forward a few decades later around 2011, with the help of my mentor and my dog, Moka, I realized that I have an aptitude for healing and communicating with animals. My dog started awakening this memory within me when I got him in 1999 but I was oblivious to what was truly happening. Moka was so very patient, truly an angel in disguise. Many years later I rescued my two cats Vayu and Sufi, and they have taken me further into my journey. A friend got me interested in learning the healing modality Kolaimni, this teaching resonated and felt effortless and natural to me. Kolaimni, an ancient Atlantis healing modality given to Mechi Garza, means “connecting with the light”. It became clear that my passion was working with animals as an animal intuitive, so I started to study with well-renowned professional animal communicators to further my knowledge, training, and abilities. My greatest teachers though have been the animals that I have had the privilege to work with over the years. They taught me a great deal and continue to do so with patience and grace.

 

As my passion and experience with animals grew, I saw the benefit of natural remedies and I learned how to use essential oils and flower essences to enhance their health and well-being. I took online classes with Melissa Shelton, a holistic veterinarian, who basically only uses essential oils in her practice. I study on my own and quickly found that my intuition and dowsing guided me to the right remedies for the animals I was working with.

 

I have always been active at animal shelters in my community in Iowa, playing, healing, and comforting the cats and dogs that came through. I had the opportunity to work and assist with classes on basic animal training with a dog trainer, easydingo.com. The knowledge and experience I have acquired are helpful with issues related to lack of training or education of the pet parents.

 

Since I enjoy riding horses and was concerned with their physical pains I was inspired to train in the Masterson Method, a hands-on healing process for horses, intuited by Jim Masterson a well renowned equine trainer. As fate will have it, Jim happens to be living in my town and introduced me to his program. After moving to Salt Spring Island a few years ago, I continued my inquiry with horses and started assisting in therapeutic riding lessons with children with disabilities. Working and learning about horses in this way established a new level of development and broadened my experiences; learning about leadership, confidence, and cooperation. This new venture got me interested in conscious equine connections. I am working with a facilitator, learning the power of non-verbal communication, body language, setting boundaries through mental focus, and how to approach the horses in mutual respect and cooperation.

​

In 2022 I got my certification as a shamanic practitioner so I can have more tools in my healing work. As an animal intuitive, It is with great joy that I facilitate a conversation between human and animal in order to develop a relationship of mutual understanding and cooperation. I open my heart with a great deal of respect, humility, and a willingness to listen. This heart-to-heart love connection will usually result in the animal opening up and trusting me enough to share their messages telepathically through feelings, mental pictures, concepts, and words.

 

Our animal companions deserve our deepest gratitude and appreciation for the unconditional love and loyalty they bless us with as our teachers, guides, healers, and angels in disguise. In honour of all my animal teachers that have helped me grow on my journey, I will continue to serve you, connect with you, and heal you as much as you have done so for me. Thank you.
