    How Animal Communication Works! w/ animal communicator Renée Vos de Wael

    Believe it or not, you’re already communicating with your pet. Every animal communicator I’ve met emphasizes that this is a skill everyone has, and can develop with practice. It might help to compare it to a language, but instead of just words, the elements include images, physical sensations, and emotions. This episode gives a peek behind-the-scenes.  

    Our guest Renée Vos de Wael is a deeply experienced animal communicator with international clientele, she's the founder of Sagittarius Way, a platform that helps animal owners develop profound connections with their pets, as well as 1:1 sessions she offers courses, guided meditations, a live session on the Insight Timer meditation app and a reiki animal circle every week. 

    In this episode: 


    Renee’s intuition backstory
    How a horse got a new name
    The language of animal communication—an insider look at how it works!
    The common questions people ask their animals, and what your pet wants for you
    How reiki can support animals with pain
    A quick definition of what reiki is
    Why we need to slow down to hear our pets
    Tips before your first animal communication session

    How to Telepathically Communicate With Your Dog w/ Olivia LaBarre, animal reiki practitioner

    “This is a thing?!” Sometimes, just knowing animal communication is possible is incentive enough to book a session for your pet. The reasons people seek out an animal communicator fall on a wide spectrum, and the information that comes through is even more wild and curious: relationship tips, pregnancy prophecies, and more. 

    Our guest, Olivia LaBarre, is a New York-based animal communicator and Reiki practitioner who also offers end-of-life support for pets, and pet loss bereavement for humans. She's also a writer, editor, artist, and uses she/her or they/them pronouns.

    What is Reiki, and how it works for animals vs. humans
