Stories From Clients

Django

“The first experience we had with Amy and her ability to communicate with and heal animals was after our long haired dachshund, Django, had extensive back surgery. He had become paralyzed in his back legs from a herniated disc. He was expected to have a full recovery, although not guaranteed and we knew that this would take time. So when we brought him home from the hospital he was not yet walking. Amy offered to come to our house and spend some time with Django. We weren’t sure what this meant exactly but it soon became clear that Django was responding. As the session progressed, he’d start to roll onto his back, becoming more loose and relaxed. Then his hind legs would start twitching and flexing. We could see that things were starting to wake up and that he was feeling good! Eventually he started walking again and now is back to his wiener dog self. We have no doubt that Amy helped Django heal, not only in his legs but in his spirit too and we are very grateful to her.”

Otis

“You are amazing and what you do is the raddest "job" in the world - what a gift!! So the reading you gave totally resonated with me and just confirms that I'm on the right path with all of that. I had no idea how much it was affecting Otis so that was an eye opener.”

Finn

“Our second working with Amy was after we brought a new puppy into the home, Finn. Django was very tolerant of baby dog Finn and Finn loved Django, grooming him, licking his ears, getting him to chase her around. But then the dynamic started to change. It seemed that one minute both dogs would just be hanging out or playing and then all of a sudden they’d be going at each other, barking, growling and snapping. The fear of our dogs hurting each other was compounded by the fact that we couldn’t get a read on what exactly was transpiring between Finn and Django that lead to these fights.

Amy suggested trying some animal communication. We will admit, we weren’t sure exactly how this would work or if it could even be beneficial! But being open to the process and having heard positive things about animal communication from other people, we decided to give it a try. Working with Amy is awesome. Not only because she has this amazing ability to reach our animals in a way that we can’t but also because she does a great job communicating with us! Amy listened to us and understood what our concerns were with Finn and Django and what we wanted to communicate to them. After the sessions, she provided us clear, concise feedback that was valuable and pertinent to our situation. What she was saying to us about Finn and Django made total sense! Talking with Amy about our pups also gave us some insight into ourselves and some of the fears and worries that we were placing, unnecessarily as it turned out, onto our dogs. We now understand more of what is transpiring between Finn and Django and are able to work with both dogs to “keep the peace” while not letting our own misconceptions about their feelings or behaviors get in the way.”

Gus (aka Bubba)

I will be telling the story about Gus with permission from his mom, Vicki.

Vicki and I met in Polly Klein’s animal communication class which took place on a small working farm. Over the course of the class, we were able to work remotely with classmates’ fur babies and in person with Polly’s dogs and cats as well as our host’s farm animals. At the time, Vicki had I think two dogs and four cats so I had my pick of many cute pictures to work from and I hadn’t worked with a cat yet so I chose handsome Gus. I started by asking him some standard questions like “do you like your food? Where is your favorite place to hang out?” Etc. One of the prompts was “do you have anything that you’d like to tell your mom?” Without hesitation he said “I pooped in the bathtub.” I was sort of in shock and trying not to keep it together! I was also in the habit of doubting information still since this was all so new so I was almost sure that I made this up somehow. I said “Excuse me, did you say that you pooped in the bathtub?” He replied “Yes and they blamed the other cat.” What??? In my mind, I’m thinking could I have made this up? and OMG, this cat is hilarious and awesome. I asked Gus more questions from the prompt list and circled back at least three more times about pooping in the bathtub just to make sure and every time I asked hi, he said yes.

On tho the reveal….Vicki confirmed all of the other answers from the questions that I had asked Gus, but I saved the bathtub confession for last. I started with “Your cats are indoor cats, right?” Vicki: Yes. “Do they ever poop somewhere else besides the litter box?” Vicki: Yeees? (Me: OK I’m not crazy, here it goes…) “I asked Gus if there was anything he wanted to tell you and he told me that he pooped in the bathtub and you blamed the other cat.” Without hesitation, Vicki’s eyes went wide and she threw her hand over her mouth laughing then said “OHMYGOD just last week we found poop in the bathtub and blamed the grey cat!! My husband is gonna lose it when I tell him!” We both lost it laughing to the point that we got a side eye from Polly. We told her what happened and she smiled and shook her head, knowing what we had both just experienced.

We shared this story at the end of the day with our classmates, because it was probably the biggest takeaway for me - Never doubt the information that you get from an animal client. Deliever the message to the human client as it happened. Literally be the mesenger for those who can’t communicate the same way that we humans can with each other. Knowing that there is a beautiful way to connect with animals to support them by giving a voice to their wants, needs and inner thoughts makes me smile and gives me hope.

Gus has taken the journey over the rainbow bridge and I feel so fortunate to have met him. Rest easy, big guy. 💚
