What I offer you:
I have spent more than 5,000 hours in private sessions helping animals who are sick from diseases, old age, injuries, or suffering from trauma. In addition to the private sessions I offer, I have pre-recorded healings that have healed thousands of animals. I teach international online courses where guardians learn how to be more involved in their beloved best friend's health whic

h can prevent disease, extend life spans, and increase the quality of life. I love that I have clients all over the world feeling held and supported in the way I wanted when my beloved Holly got sick. I’m also a hardcore science nerd who is madly in love with all things mystical. I LOVE HELPing people with their sick animals and I yearn to offer rays of hope when it seems there aren't any.

This sweet boy has already been surrendered twice because of trauma and PTSD. His fear ran so deep, his foster mom had to set up his space in the garage—and wasn’t even allowed to be in there with him. The rescue reached out to see if I could help him emotionally heal so that, just maybe, he could have another shot at finding a forever home.

✨Just four hours after his healing session, I got a text:
She had gone into the garage…
sat down…
and he climbed onto her lap.

Not even 24 hours later and he’s making strides!

I’m tearing up just writing this.

Being passed around is devastating for these souls. It makes it even harder for them to trust again. But this boy is ready to feel safe. Ready to heal. Ready to be loved.

Do me a favor—close your eyes for a moment and imagine him curled up in a warm home, surrounded by love. Imagine his forever family—patient, kind, and already falling in love with him.
Let’s help call them in. 🐾💛

Hi friends — I haven’t been active on Facebook for over 6 months. A hacker locked me out, and I couldn’t access messages, comments, or posts. If it looked like I was still posting, those were coming from Instagram — I didn’t realize they were showing up here. If you messaged me here or tagged me and didn’t hear back, I wasn’t ignoring you — I simply couldn’t access anything.

That said, if you’ve been paying attention to what’s happening in the world, you’ll know that Meta has become deeply dangerous—actively fueling AND FUNDING oppression here and genocide abroad. Just by being on these platforms, we’re lining the pockets of someone whose values I do not share. I’d love to fully step away from Zuckerberg’s empire—and I hope you’ll come with me when I do.

I don’t know exactly where I’ll land (maybe email? maybe Mastadon? maybe something more human-centered?), but I want to stay connected with you in a space that feels more aligned, less harmful, and more heart-forward.

Will you follow me somewhere new? Somewhere less evil?
Please say yes. 💛

Dear love warriors,

I’m writing with something really special to share…Holly (my soul companion cat) and I have been featured on the front cover of Lavender Magazine!!💜🐾

More than just a photo, this moment gave me the chance to speak to something that matters deeply to so many of us:

The soul-deep bonds we share with our animal companions — and the grief that comes when they’re gone.

When we’ve loved that deeply…When their presence shaped us, healed us, or made us feel more ourselves…
💜 Then grieving them isn’t weakness — It’s respectful.

💜 Grieving them isn’t a burden — It’s sacred.

💜 Grieving them isn’t falling apart — It’s falling in love across worlds.
💜 Grief is not a weakness — it’s a final act of devotion.

As I shared with the magazine’s readers:

If they changed our lives while they were alive, and we truly saw them as family members the least we can do is honor that friendship in grief.

So many people still feel like they have to grieve quietly or quickly — especially when it’s "just an animal.” But you and I know better.These relationships are sacred. And their loss is real loss.

I hope this moment reminds you that your grief is valid, your love is honored, and you're not alone.Thank you for being part of this community that dares to feel deeply, love fiercely, and honor what matters.If you’re local to the twin cities, please go grab a hard copy from various locations around townAnd if you’re not local, you can read the online version

P.S. If you’re currently walking through loss, please remember — there’s no timeline for grief. You’re allowed to take all the time you need.

If you’re ever unsure how to love or be loved, look to the animals- they will teach you.
For the better part of a month I’ve been working with Franz, a magical cat from Michigan, Franz has been very sick and his brother, Pyodi, has been by his side- always giving him exactly what he needs.
I know a lot about love and I’m continuously learning more from the people and their animal companions that I work with. The bonds we create with our companions and the love bonds they have with each other should never be taken for granted. These are the biggest moments of love and lessons in love you’ll ever receive.
Spend some time today thinking about the lessons in love your companions have shared with you- and SHARE this with them in gratitude. ❤️

A storm (injury/disease/illness) can can cause a power outage that leaves the home (body) without any electricity.

When the power shuts of your fridge, that doesn’t mean the fridge is broken but it does mean that the food inside will rot if the power isn’t turned back on. Imagine the bread is your liver, the strawberry is your heart, and the orange is your pancreas. the energy becomes stagnant. 

Stagnation makes the body sick—just like stagnant water becomes a breeding ground for illness.

Healing begins when we find the blown fuse, reconnect the power, clear out the energetic buildup, and recalibrate the system— in ways traditional care can’t touch.

Reiki can power the house, but it’s just a generator. If the wiring’s fried or the breaker hasn’t been flipped, nothing truly changes. Does it give you some immediate relief? Yes! does it repair the system? No. You need someone who can find the fault and restore the flow. That’s where I come in. My work goes beyond surface-level energy boosts—I trace the blown fuse, reset the system, and help the body remember how to run on its own power again.

Power outages in the energetic system can quietly drain health, joy, and vitality and more serious symptoms will eventually show up.

I’m offering 20 FREE energetic x-rays in June (you can start booking today!) to help you or your animal find blown fuses and flip the healing switch back on.

Use code JUNE25 at checkout and book yours before they disappear. Link in bio.
When the vet’s stumped and the animal’s still suffering, it might be time for an energetic x-ray. Share this post + code with someone who needs it.

Surgery is no fun! Especially unexpected surgeries that came out of no where. This lil girl had to have an eye surgery last week and her meowmy brought me in afterwards to clean up the energetic mess because surgery always creates chaos in the field. But when we clean it up, the body can heal more quickly!
