Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem. — Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh
What is animal communication? Animal communication is just what it sounds like, communication between humans and animals. We all have the ability to communicate with other species but for the most part we’ve forgotten how.
How does it work? Communication is a bridge between all of life. And, as there are many different beings, there are many different ways of communicating: thoughts, words, pictures, feelings, sensations, and more. I connect with your animal companion through my heart and then relate to you what your animal friend is saying.
What is animal communication consultation like? At the beginning of a consultation, I’ll establish a connection with your animal friend. Then you’ll ask questions of your animal companion and I’ll translate their answers.
As a neutral party, I can help you and your animal friend come to an understanding so you can work together more effectively.
In the case of health concerns, I can also provide details about how your animal friend’s body feels.
Please note: While I can assist you and your veterinarian by sharing the information, including symptoms, your animal describes, I am not a veterinarian and do not diagnose, prescribe, or perform surgery.
What kinds of animals can you communicate with? It’s possible to communicate with any kind of animal. So far I have communicated with cats, rats, dogs, horses, birds, llamas, elephants, goats, fish, dolphins, wolves, lizards, tigers, tortoises, insects, and more!
How is an animal communication consultation helpful? My primary goal is always to help you and your animal companion come to a deeper place of understanding. It’s amazing how much more meaningful and peaceful our relationships are once we establish communication.
In addition, a consultation can help with a variety of situations: health, behavior challenges, emotional release, transition (death/dying), general misunderstandings, household changes and harmony, learning from your animal friends, and so forth.
Important note: If you or your animal companion are sick or injured, please consult a qualified physician or veterinarian, preferably a holistic one.
It looks like people have had some pretty amazing results with you. Will my animal turn into a perfect lady/gentleman after just one consultation? Short answer: It depends. Every human, every animal, and every situation is different. Longer answer: Some animals will change on a dime in no time flat. Others, especially when the behavior is longstanding, require time and patience. And then there is the rare animal who says, “Nope, that doesn’t make sense to me and I’m not going to do it.”
Most animals will make some change though, particularly if you follow through on your end. (Remember, you’re in a relationship with your animal and relationships are a two-way street.)
In my experience, the gentlest, most powerful way to begin the process of change is to find outwhat’s going on with your animal, from your animal’s perspective.
After all, you may think that A is going on with your animal friend and you may be following all the proper protocols to treat A. But that won’t get you anywhere if Z is really the issue. So find out – ask your animal!
How do you work with people who don’t live near you? Since I work with people and animals around the world, the majority of consultations I offer are by phone. No you don’t have to put the phone up to your animal friend’s ear. (People do ask!) I connect with animals through my heart, and hearts can reach anywhere (including heaven).
How long is a consultation? In general, initial consultations tend to last 45 to 75 minutes, depending upon the number of animals involved, the issues we're working with and whether/how much energywork the animal requests during the consultation.
If you’re an existing client and I’ve spoken with your animal friend in the past, we can schedule a shorter consultation, beginning at 15 minutes, if you only need to ask a few quick questions.
How many animals can I communicate with in one consultation? Every animal is different and some have more to say than others. If you only have a few questions for each animal, you can speak with four to five animals in an hour. But most people, especially if you’re calling to work through something with your animal, enjoy having the freedom to have a deep, connected conversation rather than a shorter, surface-level conversation. And that takes time!
How can I get the most out of our consultation? First and foremost, know that your animal companion is an intelligent, loving, spiritual being with a purpose and life path of her own. The sooner you understand this, the more you can learn from her.
Then, let your animal companion know the two (or more) of you will be speaking with someone and that it will be fun.
Prepare a list of any questions or topics you want to cover – just so you don’t forget.
Have paper and a pen available so you can take notes.
And, last but most important, be prepared to listen to and learn from your animal friend.
How much does an animal communication consultation cost? The fees for distance consultations (by phone) are as follows. The preparation time I invest prior to any telephone animal consultation and energywork is already built into the cost.
15 minutes: $30 USD
30 minutes: $50
45 minutes: $70
60 minutes: $90
75 minutes: $110
90 minutes: $125
105 minutes: $140
120 minutes: $155
I occasionally offer in-person consultations at select events and locations. These consults are priced higher to cover travel costs and vendor fees. How do I set up an animal communication consultation? Click to Schedule an Appointment. Once we’ve set an appointment, I’ll send out a PayPal invoice to be paid prior to the consultation and you’ll email a photo (suggested but not required) of your animal friend. Then, you’ll call me at the appointed time.
Do you have any upcoming classes or events? I teach classes from time to time and also offer presentations and animal communication consultations at events. For the most current information, click to Where’s Shannon.

It’s no surprise that humans and animals have survived for thousands of years. Our bodies were made to heal! Sometimes we just need to get out of the way and allow them to do their work. Energywork facilitates this process by optimizing your body’s healing abilities.
While I began my career in the healing arts by offering energywork to humans, my focus is now on animals and helping them come back into balance. Animals are much more conscious of energy than we humans are and, as a result, they seem to be able to accept and work with energy more effectively. In contrast to humans, animals can absorb all the healing energy they need in a very short period of time!
What is energywork? Energywork encompasses many modalities which are often used together to form a comprehensive technique. They may or may not involve physical touch, but they all facilitate the body’s own healing response.
How is energy involved? Energywork, also called energy medicine, vibrational medicine and spiritual healing, recognizes energy – which is within and around all beings – as a vital, living, moving force.
As an energy practitioner, I serve as a channel so that higher energy can come in and balance your energetic field.
What types of modalities do you offer? Rather than following a set protocol, I tune into the intelligence of each individual’s body and energy field and allow it to guide me. In addition to my own personal healing modality, I incorporate many different practices and techniques, some of which include:
Access Energy
Magnified Healing
Angel Therapy
Melchizedek Healing Method (Australia)
Coning Sessions (based on MAP, the Medical Assistance Program)
Order of Melchizedek Healing (U.S.)
Crystal Healing (Melody Crystalology)
Pilgrimage Process
Emotional Release Therapy
Quantum Touch
Essential Oils
Raindrop Technique
Flower Essences
Reconnective Healing
Healing Touch for Animals, Komitor Method
Reiki
What is a typical session like? Since sessions are based upon your individual energy field, they’re always different. Generally though, once your animal friend has indicated she would appreciate some energywork, I begin opening any blocked, compressed or congested areas in her body. Once these areas are open, I’ll facilitate the flow of energy into her body so it can begin to heal itself.
How can energywork help my animal companion? Energywork promotes deep relaxation, balances energy fields, increases blood and lymphatic circulation, realigns muscles and bones, reduces pain and stiffness, soothes injured muscles, and releases chronic patterns of muscular tension. It also addresses emotional and mental disorders.
Who can benefit from this? Anyone with a body – humans and animals alike – can benefit from energywork!
Important note: If you or your animal companion are sick or injured, you should always be examined by a qualified physician or veterinarian.
How long is an energywork session? Every body and every situation is different, so the duration of an energywork session varies. In addition, everyone responds differently to energywork. Some animals zip right through it and others ask me, “Oh, can you work on this area over here next? And this one too!”
I generally incorporate energywork into animal communication consultations, but you may also schedule energywork separately. Most animals can accomplish a great deal in 15 to 45 minutes. If you’re not certain of the amount of work you’d like to do, we may be able set an open-ended appointment time and can continue the session until your animal feels balanced.
How much does an energywork session cost? The rates for animal communication and energywork are the same. For more details about fees, scroll up the page to.
If your animal companion is sick or injured, you should always consult a qualified physician or veterinarian. While I can assist you and your veterinarian by sharing the information, including symptoms, your animal describes, I am not a veterinarian and do not diagnose, prescribe medication for, or perform surgery on your animal companion.
