The 3 types of ANIMAL-RELATED reading & healing that I currently offer

No. If possible, it is actually best if they are not brought with you to an in-person reading. Unless of course they are a service animal. For live online sessions, please use your discretion as to whether their presence in the same room will be a distraction or not during the session. Many pets will want to be in the same space with you. Some won't. Regardless of where your pet happens to be during their session, they are still receiving the same benefits of the healing.

Initiating physical contact with your pet during their session is up to you. Either way, it will not impact the reading & healing in a negative way. Some pets may invite physical contact and others may not. And sometimes they may invite physical contact during a part of the session and then decide enough is enough at another point during the same session. Do not be discouraged if your pet does seem to want to be touched. Animals are keenly in tune with these energies and will sometimes present a particular body part closer to you that they want to receive healing on. And just as often, will change position or get up and walk away when they've received enough healing for that part of their body. It is important to be mindful of this. It is also important to remember that energy frequencies can be felt simply by being in your presence without physical contact.

As noted in question 2 - some pets may actually invite physical contact and will sometimes present a particular body part closer to you that they want to receive healing on. If this happens during the session, this is one way you can tell that the healing is having a positive impact. And this is clearly immediate. The duration of time that your pet remains in that position - presenting a specific body part - that is an indication of how long the healing on that body part took for what your pet needed at that time.

What if they were never in the same space as you during their session? You know your pet best. Before and after your pet's reading & healing session, I encourage you to pay particular attention to your pet in more detail than perhaps you might do otherwise. If there is a specific concern or question we are addressing in the session - what have you been noticing that inspired the question or concern? Take notes. Then, be just as observant after their session. Are you noticing anything different. Try not to qualify this process by saying things are better or worse. Notice what may or may not be different. Humans tend to qualify things in ways that animals do not. There may be acute differences and you may not notice any difference. No observable changes does not by default mean the healing didn't work or isn't working. So keep an eye out. Depending on what information comes up during your pet's session, addition session(s) and/or collaboration with a veterinary professional may be suggested, recommended or advised.

Often healing needs time to integrate - days, weeks, months or sometimes longer. The length of time that it may take for full integration of the healing provided during your pet's session depends on what the concern is that we are addressing. There is no standard formula for determining this. Just as healing times vary for humans, they also vary for pets, for the same reasons.

The short answer for this one is yes. I am absolutely communicating with your pet's spirit, energy, higher consciousness during their reading and healing.

Now, keep in mind that for ethical reasons, I do not read or heal anyone (or anything... that's another conversation) without expressed permission - human or otherwise. How do I get the permission of your pet since animals do speak like humans do? I have developed my ability to communicate with souls without spoken words. The information I get comes through as imagery, feelings, knowing, sound, and sometimes smells. Once I have connected with/tuned into to your pet's energy/spirit, I can sense their soul's body language (which is often in that moment different than what their actual physical 3D body may be presenting) and can pick up facial expressions even though I'm not actually looking at them. These things shift and change accordingly when the answer is yes or no to being read and receiving healing. I know how to interpret this information. I am in effect translating the expressions of the soul. And, believe it or not, on rare occasions, a soul does not want to be read or healed. I will always honor that and will let you know if that is what I am picking up on. In those cases, I am more than happy to refund your investment or shift to a different type of reading.

What about deceased pets? This would be a form of Mediumship - creating energetic space with the intention of inviting a specific soul to come forward. Though this is not one of my main offerings, I can do this as well - we can discuss during a consult call. With Mediumship readings it is very important to keep in mind that just because a specific soul is being invited does not by default mean they will show up. Please do not be discouraged if that is the case. Everything happens for a reason and souls are sometimes busy on the other side. We can always invite in an open ended way, so to speak, and see who is aligned to come through for you at that time.
