I am a certified Animal Reiki Practitioner. I am an animal intuitive and have had them around my whole life. I am currently studying Animal Communication and I love it all. I grew up in Colorado with dogs, cats, chickens, a goat, horses, a pony and goldfish! My childhood cat lived to be 20, my brother's 19, and they passed after I had moved to Seattle for college and my brother had been gone 5 years ahead of me. I love all kinds of animals and have experience with many kinds, from old to young, hyper to calm, caged to free, at shelters or homes, for friends or strangers, trained to not, ones with special needs to those specially trained, and from puppy raised to rescues! I have worked with and stayed multiple nights with rescues of both friends and clients, mainly big dogs. I've worked for companies and on my own. I noticed through random occurrences throughout my life, I tend to bond quickly with animals who have suffered trauma. I call it the "trauma bond", which has been unique enough to have parents always comment upon witnessing it. It is very heart warming to be able to make them comfortable and feel understood in a special way. This "trauma bond" is nothing to the bond of Pet Parent and Pet though, I assure you! I have volunteered at a shelter before to help and I have lots of experience giving walks, feedings, meds, potty breaks, full daytime care, transporting and pet+house sitting overnights, all for multiple animals at a time, holiday and otherwise, city and country, apartments and houses, big and small. I also have and do provide care for those needing special care like bladder expressions and handicap hook-ups. I learn quickly how to harmonize with a pet's specific needs and preferences, learn their different personalities and try to find optimal harmony for all involved. I understand separation anxiety and usually know how to help ease the pet's mind about their missing people. I have been in Seattle for 15+ years now and met animals all over, stayed in many various neighborhoods and provided care through all kinds of weather situations. I just absolutely love animals and everything they are and entail. My favorite animals growing up were dolphins, unicorns and wolves. Though I chose to pursue the arts after high school, it's apparent to me now that animals are a big part of my calling. I know the right ones will find me and I am always ready to learn what they have to teach, as well as shower them with the unconditional love they so easily exude for us. I hope I get to meet your companions and formulate new and long lasting friendships, while helping you feel as at ease as possible when you just aren't able to be there to give them all they need at all times. Trust me, they understand they can't go everywhere always with you and their main desire is for you to have happiness as much and often as possible, no matter what. I hope I can be a helpful soul in facilitating loving ease for both parties, by providing top notch care on all levels and a deeper understanding than most average caretakers out there. I look forward to our future together! Thanks so much for your time and consideration!
