Australians are mad about pets. We have one of the highest incidence of pet ownership in the world. With the growing trend towards holistic pet care, more and more people are turning to animal communication to help solve their pet problems.

But what exactly is animal communication? And why is it becoming so popular? Animal communication gives you a rare opportunity to ask your pets what you’ve always wanted to know.

Animal communication has many uses
A good animal communicator can help you get to the bottom of behavioural problems, health issues, mental anguish and emotional stresses. Communication can also be used to prevent problems in your animal by discussing upcoming changes with them (for example moving to a new home, a vacation or getting a second animal). Animal communication can be an indispensable support tool in grief and end of life decisions, including communication with animals in spirit.

How animal communication works
Animal communication is a sort of telepathy, the process of transferring thoughts and feelings directly from one mind to another. The word telepathy comes from the Greek “tele” meaning “distant” and “patheia” meaning “to be affected by”. The messages come in different forms including words, phrases, images, feelings, sounds and smells. As an animal communicator, my role is to translate these messages and act as a mediator between you and your animal, communicating messages back and forth.

Animal communication works regardless of distance
I have worked with countless cases where I have never met the animal. Telepathic communication occurs by distance, so whether I’m in the room with your animal or oceans apart the messages are equally clear. In fact, I find it more effective to work by distance in the quiet of my own environment to prevent any distractions to myself or your animal.

When to use an animal communicator
Most people don’t consider using an animal communicator until all conventional approaches have failed. When you have a problem with your animal which appears to be unresolvable, you may consider having an animal communicator discuss the issue directly with your animal. Of course, animal communication need not be the last resort. In fact, many people recognize the benefits and tend to use animal communication “pro-actively” rather than “re-actively”. Communicating directly with your pet can save time and money which may otherwise be wasted testing various treatments that your pet doesn’t respond well to.

What animal communication is not
Animal communication is never to be used as a substitute for professional veterinary care. I am not qualified to give a diagnosis or medical treatment, but I am able to convey to you where an animal is in pain, or their opinion on the usefulness of various medications. Animal communication can also help correct behavioural issues, but is not to be used as a substitute for proper behavioural training.
