I have been telepathically communicating with animals for the past 11 years.  Shortly before I learned how to talk to animals, I was a licensed Marriage, Family, and Child Counselor (MFCC) who only counseled human beings.

At about that time, my Siamese cat Chiyono suddenly began exhibiting symptoms similar to those of a depressed human.  I desperately wanted to help Chiyono, but was at a loss as to how to go about it.  I studied cat behavior books extensively, but nothing I learned from those books seemed to alleviate Chiyono's troubles.  Then I heard about someone who claimed she could talk to animals.  As soon as I discovered that animal communication could be learned, I was hooked on the idea!

I set out to learn about this fascinating field of communication, went on to study with some of the leading animal communicators—Penelope Smith, Carol Gurney, and Raphaela Pope—and have been practicing ever since.  I continue to be fascinated and touched by what animals have to say, how they feel, and what they have to teach us.  I have a great deal of reverence and love for every one of the animals with whom I communicate, and I consider it an honor to be able to help other humans get to know their animal friends on a deeper level.

A large component of my practice is communicating with animals who have "crossed over" into the afterlife.  I have always been fascinated with death and what happens to us after we die.  Thanks to the animals, I have learned a great deal about what death really is.  I have also trained in afterlife exploration with Bruce Moen, an extraordinary man whose mission is to make afterlife exploration easily accessible to everyone.

In the early part of 2002, I learned about the Yuen Method of Chinese Energetics—by far, the most comprehensive, simple, quick, and effective energetic healing method I have encountered.  I began studying with Dr. Kam Yuen, the creator of the Yuen Method.  In April 2003, I completed my training (in record time), and was honored to be invited to participate in the very first Master Practitioner Training Program.  I am now a Certified Practitioner of the Yuen Method, and it has been a joyful experience for me to utilize this powerful tool in helping both humans and animals overcome limitations brought on by physical, mental, emotional, or behavioral problems.

I share my home with five lovely animal companions:  Chiyono (who's no longer depressed), Benoji, Maio, Vinnie, and Louise.
