About
Remembering Our Connection To Animals
Once, long ago, people and animals knew they were deeply connected. So much has been lost since then, and I am honored and so grateful to be among those who have chosen to restore that connection, to reintroduce you to your animal companions, so that your friendship
and love can be deepened, your communication improved, and your conflicts resolved.
This is what I’ve dedicated my life to, and what I’ve been doing since 2001. I assist animals and their loving caretakers to understand each other, so that us “two-legged” animal lovers become able to know how their companions think and feel, how they see themselves and their world.
My work is a loving, compassionate and respectful means to bring improved communication and healing to everyone involved. Once you begin to communicate with your animal friends, your life will never be the same. And neither will theirs.

Euphemisms for Euthanasia (“put down” is a put down.)
I had an interesting exchange the other day with a client regarding the words we animal caretakers use for euthanizing our beloved companions. She lamented the routine use of phrases such as "put him/her down," and she asked me if I had any alternatives that sounded...
