Cattitude

“From an early age, it was apparent that I was on the side of the animals. As a toddler I was brought to a butchers and immediately protested the smell and demanded to leave. This eventually led me to vegetarianism at age 12 which to my current plant based mind was twelve years too late!

As a teenager I opted to do work experience at a busy veterinary practice in Dublin, Ireland. My abilities to accept animals in all states of need I believe inspired the veterinary surgeons to hire me for 2 more years. As a result I got to experience firsthand the many facets of veterinary care in small animal practice including but not limited to, assisting in surgery at all stages of emergency.

I then went on to complete an honours degree in analytical chemistry and biology in Dublin City University which led me to a 7 year career in the pharmaceutical industry. Here I guided leading professors and consultants in the major London hospitals on how to prescribe specialised pharmaceutical drugs based on the scientific data of clinical trials. In retrospect this part of my journey I believe has enabled me to recognise both sides of the treatment coin in terms of allopathic and holistic care for our beloved animals.

My affinity for the animal kingdom then led me to Bolivia to work at a wildlife sanctuary. For one year I lived deep in the rainforest where my primary charge was Milly a young female ocelot – a beautiful jungle cat.

I know in my heart that this time of service, contemplation and communion was the spark that ignited my spiritual growth and journey toward animal communication. It was a total game changer to say the least, living with her moment by moment,  she showed me how to be in her wild & authentic world.

Not long after, I began a meditation practice which led me to India. Where I became immersed in the Tibetan community in exile over a period of four years, staying at monasteries, going on retreats & attending many public teachings & initiations by the Dalai Lama himself.

Through this profound meditation journey I discovered that my intuition was becoming a powerful force. After I had been practicing regular daily meditation for over ten years I could not only hear the guidance of my soul but the thoughts of animals as well. Something within had woken up. And I just knew that I had to follow that calling of the Animal Nation.

So I qualified as a professional animal communicator. And the person who help me get there is the incredible Madeleine Walker. She is has written many best selling books on this topic and I found her to be the right teacher for me after I had tried out many more. She has the grounded soul wisdom that I needed in order to flow deeply into this healing art and bring my full range of intuitive gifts to the fore for you & yours.
