My Story
Dax and Honey Bear. My teachers. My heart.
Enriching the bond through connection and conversation
Who I Am
I've been talking to animals my whole life. Not metaphorically. I mean I have always known there was more happening between humans and animals than most people give language to, and I've spent decades learning to bring that more into words.
I'm an animal communicator and intuitive, and I work at a level that goes beyond behavior, beyond the surface, beyond what's visible in the 3D world. I go deep. I connect with what's actually present in your animal, their inner life, their awareness, their experience of you and of this life they're living.
I also have my own animals. A pittie mix named Dax who has taught me more about loyalty, anxiety, and fierce love than I could have anticipated. A soulful hound mix named Honey Bear who models quiet dignity daily. They are my practice, my teachers, and my companions. I understand what it is to be in a bond with an animal that changes you.
My connection to animals doesn't stop at my door. I tend a backyard wildlife sanctuary I call Drewperch Village, home to a crow family, cardinals, squirrels, and a cast of named regulars who have their own personalities, rivalries, and stories. If you follow me on Instagram you've probably already met them. This work isn't something I do. It's something I am.
Animal Communication
The Soul Lens
Your animal didn't end up with you by accident.
Animals are teachers and companions. They mirror and model what we need to see, sometimes gently, sometimes with great persistence. The patterns you notice in your animal, the behaviors that confuse or exhaust or move you, often have something to say about both of you.
When I connect with your animal, what comes back serves the relationship, not just the animal. These sessions are as much about you as they are about them. That's not a side effect. That's the work.
What Comes Through
Every animal communicates in the way they believe you will understand.
That might be a color. A story. A symbol. An image or a feeling or a specific memory. Animals are intelligent, precise, and often surprisingly direct. They choose the form that will land.
My job is to receive what comes and share it with you, without filtering it, without interpreting it, without making it mean something it didn't say. What your animal brings through is theirs. I'm the bridge, not the translator.
Sometimes that includes color. When an animal offers a color, I share it along with whatever they communicate about how it wants to be used. That guidance belongs to you.
Animals in Spirit
When an animal crosses, the connection doesn't end. It changes form.
Animals in spirit are still present, still aware, and they often have things they want you to know. The way they left the physical world doesn't define what's available now. Whether their crossing was sudden or slow, expected or devastating, they are not defined by that moment.
What I hear most consistently from animals in spirit is this: they want you to be happy. They are not waiting for you to stop living. They are not troubled by the new animal in the house. In fact, they often work alongside them, supporting the bond you're building now.
If you're carrying grief, or guilt, or wondering if they're okay, that conversation is still available to you.
Tarot is its own offering, and it's for you.
I've worked with tarot for over thirty years. My readings are intuitive, which means I'm not reading from a fixed system or a memorized set of meanings. I'm reading what's present for you in this moment, what the cards are saying in the context of your actual life.
If you're curious whether your animal has something to add, we can open that door. A combined session begins with your reading and then invites your animal in if there's more to bring through. It's a natural extension, and sometimes the most illuminating part of the session comes from that second layer.
