Pausing to observe and explore with curiosity during a challenging time with your pet helps to gently open to what needs to be heard and acknowledged, and it’s one of the best gifts you can give to your pet, yourself, and your relationship. The insight gained during dedicated reflection helps you both to feel seen and to move forward with a new perspective that is alignment with each of your needs.
You and your pet are in a beautiful dance as you strengthen in your relationship together, while also learning to trust and deeply appreciate the relationship with your individual selves. This is when life flows organically and the dance is one in which your bond deepens in an extraordinary way and one that is filled with more peace and harmony.
I use oracle cards to tap into the energies of you and your animal friend and the current challenge/situation. During the reading I invite you to share what resonates and to also ask questions in order to bring more peace, clarity, and understanding to what you’ve sought guidance for. After your session, I take a photo of your cards and share these by email with a brief summary for your further reflection.

Lovely things people have said…
“What a wonderful and insightful experience it was to have an oracle card reading with Barb to help me better understand my relationship with my beautiful feline friend, Miss Kit, and what she needs from me. We are in a transitional time and the wisdom of the cards that came through for both of us has really helped me in navigating the right next steps and trust in how it unfolds. Thank you, Barb!” Linda, AZ
“I am so grateful for your gift of communicating with animals and for the insight you provide. I have felt much more relaxed about my relationship with my Finnigan and understand better about letting him be his own dog. Your guidance has helped me realize that I have probably made him feel anxious about taking care of me because I am anxious about taking care of him! Some separation is good for both of us and I know he will be ok.”
-Diana S.
“Barbara’s reading for my 14-year-old Lab Brownie and me had everything I needed to know at this point in time. The clarity and guidance she gave were very relevant to our situation and his message for me was bang on! The session was wonderful and it shows her compassion for pets and their parents. I’m deeply grateful! Much love from both of us 
“
– Ekta Jogani & Brownie
Barbara’s session for myself and my dog, Max, was absolutely wonderful. Max is an older dog and I’ve been struggling with some of the side effects of aging. In our session, Barbara helped me get a clear perspective on why I was struggling and then helped shift my mindset moving forward. The entire session made it not only easier to accept Max’s aging process but to celebrate his life and find joy in our everyday moments—no matter how they unfold.

Barb’s gentleness yet strength in wisdom and intuition helped me process what my horse Nattie, and the oracle cards had to share. I’m in awe of the journey we went on during my session. It helped me to reconnect with my own inner strength and wisdom, as well as receive insights that couldn’t have been more accurate and helpful at this time in my life. Words alone can’t capture how meaningful this experience has been. I’m so grateful to Barb and the power of animal wisdom.
~Rachel N. & Nattie
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! My heart is filled with gratitude from your wisdom and guidance! The reading was incredible and helped me gain some insight into Nellie’s behavior. As with people, our animals certainly reflect back to us that which needs to be healed within. YOU HAVE AN INCREDIBLE GIFT! So happy you are sharing it with the world!
~Sara Walsh & Nellie
My work is dedicated to my dachshund, Gidget
My sweet girl, who I often referred to as my “Buddha Dog” because she was truly a master teacher and healer. She came into my life in November 2014 and walked lovingly beside me serving as a reflection to help me heal emotional wounds that eventually led me to experience more freedom, clarity, and peace. As I did the necessary inner work, she in turn was also transformed and was able to heal different aspects of herself too—and together we were able to connect on a deeper level and thrive in a loving and harmonious relationship.
Her steadfast devotion to traveling with me during my healing quest was remarkable and will never be forgotten by me. Forever grateful to you dear Gidget. Her teaching lives on in my memoir, “I’m Fine Just the Way I Am.”
