Terri asks that you prepare by thinking through a variety of questions or issues you would like to discuss and write them down to use as a reference when you are on the call with her. This will help you stay on track during the conversation and get the most out of the session time. To connect with your animals, she will utilize your love, intentions to connect, and permission to talk with your animals. You must be open and honest with information to create an accurate conduit of messages from your animal to Terri. Remember this service is for you, so preparing in advance will create an optimum experience. (Please do not send questions ahead of time.)

No, but it is enjoyable for most people to have their animal companions nearby. What is essential is that you are in a quiet place and focused. Terri connects with your animal through your heart. It is important that you are not multi-tasking, driving, or otherwise distracted. Please be able to devote all your attention to the process. Also, it is possible for emotions to come up so you want to be where you feel safe.

No. You must schedule an appointment time in advance. It can sometimes take 2-3 weeks to get onto Terri’s schedule. So, don’t wait until the last minute if you wish to address concerns that have specific dates involved (for example—surgery, travel, new animal joining the family).

No, unfortunately, this does not facilitate the best communication with accurate information. It is essential that you schedule time with Terri even if you want a short appointment. She focuses on your animals through your energy and needs to have you asking the questions over the phone while she tunes into your animal companions. This process assures a quality result and Terri believes a conversation is the best way to respect your animal’s thoughts, feelings, and needs.

No—in fact many clients call to check in on their animal’s well-being. Often, it is good to learn about what your animals may want or need. They can also provide powerful words of wisdom for the benefit of the human family members.

Communication with animals provides information that can be helpful for you to tell your veterinarian. Terri does not diagnose illnesses or prescribe treatments. That is the role of the animal health professional. However, she can solicit details from your animal to determine where pain or discomfort exists in their body along with other important information. She is able to assist you and your veterinarian to improve your animal’s circumstances.

No, Terri never tells an animal what to do. Rather, she listens to them to learn from their perspective why they are doing a certain behavior. Often, what humans consider to be a bad or annoying behavior can indeed have good and loving intentions behind it from the animal’s reasoning. Once the details are uncovered, then solutions can be discussed, and compromises can be made on behalf of the animals as well as the people. This can lead to resolved behavior issues with beautiful harmony and balance in the home.

A common request is to tell cats to not spray in the house. Or, to tell small dogs to stop marking their turf in the house. These difficult situations can be explored in an appointment with the understanding that the purpose is to gain clarity on why your animal is marking/urinating. Suggestions will be provided that address your animals’ specific issues. Most importantly, both parties (human and animal) usually must make changes to improve the circumstances. A magic fix of simply telling the animal to stop is not realistic from any Animal Communicator.

This conversation is not a literal communication such as the manner which people usually talk. It involves connecting with the spiritual aspect of your animal or their higher self. The connection occurs through love and genuine intentions. Terri serves as a conduit by expressing your comments to the animal and providing you with replies from your animal. She will tell you what she sees, feels, hears, and senses during the communication. You can think of it as what our culture calls women’s intuition and know that everyone can do it. Terri has offered her skills for many years and, therefore, has enhanced her abilities to be quick and accurate.

It is best to allow them to do whatever is comfortable. Some animals stay nearby during the appointment, while others go on with their daily routines. Remember to be in a quiet place to facilitate the necessary focus and concentration. You may find that your animal friends notice the energy exchanging from your heart to theirs and will enjoy being with the process. Or, they may simply sleep right through it. Every situation is unique.

No, Terri does not work on an emergency basis. Her schedule is booked in advance so she cannot offer appointments within a short time frame. Based on availability, she will prioritize established clients if their animals are severely ill. For new people with urgent situations, Terri provides referrals to other Animal Communicators that she knows and trusts.
