Yes — as long as you have a clear photo of your animal’s face where I can see their eyes, I am able to connect with them. We are all connected through energy, and in my experience, our animals who have crossed over are never truly as far away as we may think.

Try to remain open to whatever messages or insights come through during the session. Animals are incredibly intuitive and often mirror our energy, so if you are feeling closed off or guarded, your animal may respond similarly, which can sometimes make the connection more difficult. Staying relaxed, open, and receptive helps create the best environment for communication and connection.

Honestly, the best time is whenever you feel intuitively guided to book a session. If you have an upcoming trip and aren’t able to bring your animal with you, that can be a wonderful time for either an Animal Communication Session or a Reiki Healing Session to help provide comfort and support while you’re away.

Sessions can also be especially helpful during periods of major transition or emotional change — such as moves, breakups, grief, schedule changes, or other significant life events. Our animals are deeply connected to us and often feel what we feel, so offering them additional energetic and emotional support during these times can be incredibly beneficial for both of you.

Yes — this is an important part of the process. The intake form helps me better understand both your goals for the session and your animal’s background so I can approach the connection with greater care and intention.

For example, if your animal is a rescue who has only been with your family for a few months, that information can be very helpful in understanding their experiences, emotional state, and how I approach the initial connection during the session.
