If you’ve ever thought about booking an animal healing and communication session, you might be wondering exactly what happens. Maybe you’re curious, a little nervous, or just unsure what to expect. That’s completely normal! I want to take you through the process in a way that’s honest, easy to understand, and gives you a sense of what it’s like to work with me and your animal.

An animal healing and communication session is a safe, gentle, and supportive space where I connect with your animal to understand how they’re feeling, what they might need, and how we can help them feel more comfortable, happy, and balanced.

Step 1: Choosing the Right Session

The first step is deciding what type of session will work best for you and your animal. You can choose an in-person session, a remote video call, or a photo reading—whichever feels most comfortable and convenient.

Each option works beautifully, and distance doesn’t affect the connection. Once we’ve chosen the right type of session, we’ll have a short chat about what’s going on with your animal and what you hope to get from the session. This helps set the scene so your animal can communicate freely and the session flows as smoothly as possible.

Step 2: Connecting with Your Animal

Once we’ve chosen the session type and had our initial chat, I connect with your animal. This could be in person, via video call, or through a photo. During this connection, I tune into their thoughts, emotions, and energy.

Animals communicate in their own way—they may show me feelings, physical sensations, or images that describe what’s going on. Some animals are very expressive, while others are gentle and reserved. Either way, I follow their lead and allow them to guide the session.

Step 3: Listening and Understanding

As I connect, I let your animal share what they want to communicate. This might include:

  • Emotional states like stress, anxiety, or happiness
  • Physical sensations or discomfort
  • Behaviour patterns or changes you’ve noticed
  • Needs, preferences, or things they want you to understand

I never force anything. This is about creating a safe space where your animal feels heard and understood. Often, simply being listened to can bring a huge sense of relief—for them and for you.

Step 4: Supporting Through Healing

Alongside communication, I offer gentle healing to support your animal’s energy system. Animals, like humans, can carry tension, stress, or emotional blocks that affect their wellbeing. Healing helps them release what’s no longer serving them and restores a sense of calm and balance.

Healing is never a replacement for veterinary care, but it works beautifully alongside it. Many animals feel more relaxed, balanced, and themselves after just one session.

Step 5: Sharing What Comes Through

After connecting and offering healing, I share everything your animal communicated with you. This includes insights about their emotions, needs, and behaviours, as well as guidance for supporting them at home.

You might get suggestions for small changes in routine, ways to comfort them, or simple practices to strengthen your bond. The goal is to leave you feeling more connected to your animal and confident in supporting their wellbeing.

What You Might Notice After a Session

Every animal is unique, but here are some common changes people notice:

  • Calmer behaviour and reduced stress
  • Improved cooperation or a return to normal routines
  • Greater emotional balance and comfort
  • Clearer connection and understanding between you and your animal
  • A sense of peace and wellbeing—for them and for you

Sometimes the changes are immediate, and other times they unfold gradually over a few days. Either way, the shift is always led by your animal, at their own pace.

Why Book an Animal Healing and Communication Session

Booking an animal healing and communication session can help in many situations:

  • If your pet is anxious, stressed, or unsettled
  • If behaviour has changed unexpectedly
  • To support a rescue or traumatised animal
  • During major life changes like moving house or welcoming a new family member
  • At the end of life to ease transitions and provide comfort

It’s also a wonderful way to deepen the bond you have with your animal and understand their world more clearly.
