I have been communicating with animals for as long as I can remember. But it wasn't until I began needle felting animals, a few years ago, that I realized just how deep the communication goes. As an artist, I created sculptures of animals, beginning with dogs. I was commissioned to do several deceased pets, while the pictures that I was receiving to work with, were not clear. I finally decided to connect with those deceased animals, so that I could create the best sculpture of them, that I possibly could. It was at that time, I realized I had a special gift, to be able to communicate with deceased animals, as well as those here on Earth. I continued to only use this gift in my art, and I was informed by clients that the art pieces were encompassed with healing energy. I knew that creating this form of art, was healing me, but I had no clue that my clients would feel it, as well. I continued on this path with the art, moving on to creating other pets and wildlife. When I would attach the heads of these animals, I would feel a jolt of energy go right through my body, and would be in tears. I would feel as though the animals were coming alive in my hands. I was amazed at what was happening to me, but not quite ready to admit this, only to few close friends. I now understand, this was bringing me closer to the gift that I had always known that I possessed, but never acknowledged, to myself.

Communicating with animals is always wonderful, but they do not always want to talk about what you want them to. They share whatever information that they are comfortable sharing, and sometimes it is not what you would expect.
If you have a certain difficulty with your animal, they may very well not be interested in talking about it, so it is best not to go into this expecting a certain outcome.
I recently talked with a deceased pet that decided all she wanted to tell me was that her mom needed to make a scarf! It did turn out that the mother did need to make that scarf, but it was a surprise for me to get that information! She did want her mom to know that she would be back though~

I recently sent Reiki energy to my puppy during her surgery to become spayed. I am always amazed at the wonderful results that I get from sending that energy, even from a distance! I offer that service as well as the animal communication~
I found an interesting touch therapy, Eden Energy Medicine, that dogs absolutely LOVE. I draw figure 8's over my dogs every day. Their energy becomes misaligned, just as our does, and this method of drawing the figure 8 over them, unscrambles their energy. Mine roll right over and welcome it!

I have had so many sweet experiences, since accepting this gift of communicating with animals. One day, as I was driving to an appointment for accupuncture,  I saw a woman walking her Yorkie on the bike trail. As I drove by her, I heard the little dog humming a little song, she was just so happy to be walking! I smiled, as it warmed my heart to hear that.
Dog are so easy to please, all they really need is our companionship, and they want us to be happy. I have always felt that each dog that has come into my life, has enriched me Spiritually, as the lessons they teach are not anything that I have ever learned from any human connection.

I had a beautiful reading with this rescue mare. Here is the testimonial that I received~


  Karen offered to do a communication session with a little mare that we just got not too long ago and I agreed, she said she would have my information to me by the next day.  I opened my email the next day and found a very very interesting letter from Karen about her session with our mare.  As I read it I had chills run up my spine with all of the things that she told me about this mare.  How the mare communicated that she had been beaten about the head and that she had been called stupid and that made her sad.  She told me so many things that were amazing and made a lot of sense from what I had been seeing with her.  She also explained to Karen that she, the horse, herself was a gifted healer and I can see that in her with her desire to love and the ever so warm look in her eye even if she is afraid.  I went out to see our mare after the session and she nickered to me as if she were excited to see me, this was the first time she had ever done that.  We made amazing progress in trust today too, I wonder if it is because Karen told her she was going to be ok.   I love having this information and am stunned about all that she told me that fell right into place with what we have been noticing.

We look forward to trying to communicate again with our mare to see what we can do.

I have communicated many times, with the two gorgeous Husky dogs pictured here on my blog. They are very beautiful souls, and love to talk with me. Animals love when we talk to them, they do understand, not through our words, but through the pictures in our minds. That is why our pets know what we are thinking, they "see" the pictures, to them, that is like our words.
Here is something I do with my own dogs,  I hold them in my arms, outside, under the moon and stars, and ask Creator to Bless them. I ask my pet to bring me clear signs, when they are no longer with me, so that I can always connect with them. They love getting blessed under the moon, and I almost always see shooting stars when I do it!
When my beloved pet crossed over after 16 years, he sent a sign to me one night very late. It was after 1AM, one morning, I was outside and a beautiful Dove came out of the sky and flew right down to me, looked me right in my eyes, with so much love, then disappeared in the darkness. I knew it was the clear sign that I had ask him to send me. It was a warm and beautiful moment, one that I will treasure always.

This pair of beautiful kitties were clients of mine for many years, with Reiki and most recently with communication. They are both on the other side now, but continue to joyfully talk with me, communicating their words of wisdom, to their mom~
Communicating with animals is definitely my passion! However, there are times when I am hired to send them healing energy. I offer a service, as a Reiki Master, of sending Reiki energy to animals. One day, I was working on a beautiful Alpaca, and I felt the need to communicate with her. The combination was an awesome mix, as the Alpaca found it easier to accept the energy, when she knew who was sending it. She held quite a conversation with me, and we had many other sessions, that were just as enlightening. One day, while I was sending energy to her, one of the other Alpacas decided he wanted to talk. She was in Kentucky, he was in NY! It was so sweet how he knew I was connecting with his "family" and wanted to have his say~

I would have to say one of the most unique animal communications I have ever been asked to do, was a pack of Coyotes. It was to my great surprise, however, a very Spiritual experience! These animals all love that we want to communicate with them, and what they shared with me, rang true for the owners of the land, in which they decided to frequently visit~



This is one of my 3-Dimensional portraits of a horse that lives in Oregon. I used a beautiful picture that is owned and copyrighted by Maggie J Rothauge, from Oregon's Wild Side on Facebook, as my model. But during the making of the portrait, I connected and communicated with this wild horse, and it was just an amazing feeling!
