How long is a session, and what does it cost?

An initial session is one hour in length for a person or an animal, subsequent sessions for animals may take less time depending on the circumstances.
See Healing Sessions for current fees for sessions for people and animals. Packages also available.

Do you work with people, too?

Yes, I work with all species, humans not excluded. A session for a person at my home office has the additional benefit of therapy animal participation. It has been proven that animals help us lower our blood pressure, relieve depression, and motivate us in our lives in surprising ways. In my home office two cats voluntarily function as therapy cats and energy healers, and may get on the table with the client (clients with allergies can request a session without the cats present in the room). Working with the client is purely at the discretion of the cats (I have not trained them to do this) and clients report great benefit from their participation.

How do I schedule a phone session for my pet or companion animal?

1. You can now schedule a session online!
2. Or call 206-933-7877, and we will return your call as soon as possible, we may be with another client.
I will need a photo of your animal supplied either by email or snail mail. You should be available for one hour somewhere you can be comfortable and undisturbed, your companion does not have to be next to you. For the session I use a blend of animal communication and alternative healing according to the individual needs of the client and their situation; modalities designed to facilitate bridges of understanding and promote healing, calming, and rebalancing.

How long have you been doing this?

I have had an alternative healing and teaching practice for over since 1996, and I train every year to expand my skills in energy healing. To the best of my knowledge I was a early pioneer in actively promoting a dual practice for people and animals. I have studied extensively on both coasts of the U.S. as well as in Peru with my shamanic teachers. (See bio for more information.)

Where are you located?

Sessions are offered in the Alki district of West Seattle at my home office, very easily reached from either Hwy. 99 or I-5. When an appointment is scheduled I will email you directions.

Can I learn to do what you do?

I teach Reiki classes which are beneficial to both the person, and their human/animal families. One class can yield a lifetime of benefit, a small investment for a great return.

Can you change my pet's behavior?

In order to change an inappropriate or unpleasant behavior first it is necessary to understand why the animal is suddenly doing something you find difficult to live with such as inappropriate urination/defecation, aggressive/destructive behavior, nervousness, etc. That is where animal communication and many years of experience with animal behavior come in. Once the motivation is understood assistance can then be offered, whether in physical changes to environment or emotional/physical clearing and support for you and your pet. If the trigger is removed unwanted behaviors will cease.

I am under stress, could my animal benefit by a session?

If you are under stress your animal is under stress. An example might be divorce or depression. Animals pick up on our stress because they love us and because they rely on their instincts to tell them when something is not right. While they may not understand the complexities they do understand emotions such as fear, anger, grief and because they love us they will often try to shoulder those feelings for us which can create behavioral problems such as aggression, inappropriate urination/defecation, etc. And if you and your animal are under stress together sometimes the best solution is a dual session for both.

How can I be a better friend to my pet?

Dogs have been domesticated for more than 20,000 years, cats have not, and many other species such as birds, ferrets, snakes, etc. have never been. The miracle is that most of the time alien species (alien to our homes that is) cohabit with us quite well. Part of my job is teaching people how to understand what motivates their companion and what their needs really are. Power animal journeys are one way for a person to better understand what the animals have to teach us and how to gain greater happiness in our own personal lives. It is an opportunity to look at the world through their eyes while getting in touch with powerful aspects of ourselves that are untapped and hidden.

I am moving, how can I make this easier for my animal?

If you are stressed your animals are stressed, and actually in this case they are MORE stressed. Cats and dogs are territorial in different ways, suddenly the environment they have known is in major upheaval, things are being packed, going into storage, and the entire household routine is upset (cats especially hate that). A session not only helps to explain to them what is happening, and why, but aids in calming and relieving physical and emotional stress (and if you really want to relieve the situation a dual session for you and your animal can be arranged).

Do you work with lost animals?

I do not do lost animal communication sessions. I refer people to the Animal Communication Practitioners Resources for Lost Animals site where you can find individual practitioners as well as a wealth of other web and pet search related resources.
