Message from Karen:

“To uncover and hone my ability to telepathically connect with animals, I’ve traveled from coast to coast to study with Penelope Smith, Sharon Callahan, and Dawn Hayman (at Spring Farm CARES in upstate New York), and the incredible Master Teachers in animal form who work with them. I have a “Dalai Llama” (my Lamas have two Ls and four legs!) in both New York state and California–teachers who have given me memorable advice and loving emotional support.

By way of my book, The Cosmic Purr, I view myself as cracking open human hearts and minds just enough to slip in the seeds that may blossom into a deeper understanding of our animal sisters and brothers, and promote reverent compassion for the Earth. I’m trained in several energy healing practices and incorporate these modalities in deepening my own connection with the animals and offering them healing support.

It’s my great honor to be entrusted as a mediator between the human guardians and their beloved animal companions.”

FAQ’s

Do you come to my house to talk with my pets?

To be most objective, I work by telephone. I get my connection via your love for your animals, so I don’t have to be physically with them. You phone me for our consultation.

Do I need to be with my animal during the reading?

You don’t love your animal friends any less when you’re away from them, so they don’t have to be in the same room with you for me to connect with them.

How should I prepare for a reading?

Have your questions written down to be sure we cover all your concerns. It helps me when you e-mail a photo of your animal, and it’s a requirement if you’d like to speak with more than one animal. Pictures that look into the animals’ eyes are the most helpful.

May a friend listen in?

Yes, as long as you can be on conference call or on separate lines. Speaker phone is distracting to me and interferes with my telepathic link.

Do you record the consultation?

I don’t offer recordings in order to keep my fees reasonable. As long as there’s no interference in the sound quality of our consult, you’re welcome to make your own recording.

How do I pay you?

I accept personal checks, payable after the consult. That way, we can talk as long as you need though most consults are a half hour. I can also take Visa or MasterCard payments by phone.
