Due to the increasing volume of my writing and editorial work, in addition to my busy life coaching practice, I no longer offer animal communication sessions. In 2008, I scaled back my travel in order to make time for writing my first novel, “Schizandra and the Gates of Mu.” Having finished that, along with “The Lazy Raw Foodist’s Guide,” I’ve found that my writing pace has increased, not diminished. As a result, I realized something needed to go. Having trained many of my clients to communicate with their own animals, I have now stopped offering animal communication as a service.

People do ask me for referrals, so here are some names, websites and a list of trained animal communicators.

Sandy Rakowitz of One Heart Healing Center in Virginia offers in person and phone sessions, as well as animal communication classes, essential oils, and TTouch: http://www.onehearthealingcenter.com.

Nikki Cuthbertson of Petaluma, California offers animal communication in Sonoma County. I do not know Nikki Cuthbertson; however, she exudes a beautiful energy from her site.  See for yourself here: http://www.onewithnature.info/index.html.

I honor and support the Code of Ethics for Interspecies Telepathic Communications presented below as formulated in 1990 by Penelope Smith www.animaltalk.net. I recommend that you find an animal communicator who follows this code.

 CODE OF ETHICS for INTERSPECIES TELEPATHIC COMMUNICATORS

 Our motivation is compassion for all beings and a desire to help all species understand each other better, particularly to help restore the lost human ability to freely and directly communicate with other species.

We honor those that come to us for help, not judging, condemning, or invalidating them for their mistakes or misunderstanding but honoring their desire for change and harmony.

We know that to keep this work as pure and harmonious as possible requires that we continually grow spiritually. We realize that telepathic communication can be clouded or overlaid by our own unfulfilled emotions, critical judgments, or lack of love for self and others. We walk in humility, willing to recognize and clear up our own errors in understanding others’ communication (human and non-human alike).

We cultivate knowledge and understanding of the dynamics of human, non-human, and interspecies behavior and relationships, to increase the good results of our work. We get whatever education and/or personal help we need to do our work effectively, with compassion, respect, joy, and harmony.

We seek to draw out the best in everyone and increase understanding toward mutual resolution of problems. We go only where we are asked to help, so that others are receptive and we truly can help. We respect the feelings and ideas of others and work for interspecies understanding, not pitting one side against another but walking with compassion for all. We acknowledge the things that we cannot change and continue where our work can be most effective.

We respect the privacy of people and animal companions we work with, and honor their desire for confidentiality.

While doing our best to help, we allow others their own dignity and help them to help their animal companions. We cultivate understanding and ability in others, rather than dependence on our ability. We offer people ways to be involved in understanding and growth with their fellow beings of other species.

We acknowledge our limitations, seeking help from other professionals as needed. It is not our job to name and treat diseases, and we refer people to veterinarians for diagnosis of physical illness. We may relay animals’ ideas, feelings, pains, symptoms, as they describe them or as we feel or perceive them and this may be helpful to veterinary health professionals. We may also assist through handling of stresses, counseling, and other gentle healing methods. We let clients decide for themselves how to work with healing their animal companions’ distress, disease, or injury, given all the information available.

The goal of any consultation, lecture, workshop, or interspecies experience is more communication, balance, compassion, understanding, and communion among all beings. We follow our heart, honoring the spirit and life of all beings as One.
