I help you bridge the communication gap with your pet through Animal Communication and I offer Reiki to help them feel calm and relaxed.
I’ve helped animals and their people together—whether it’s through Animal Communication, Reiki, or Meditationfor over 25 years.
To me, animals aren’t just pets.
They’re teachers, healers, and guides on our life’s journey
They’re cherished family members
They deserve to have a say in their lives
As an Animal Communicator, I translate for your animal—whether they are physically with you or in spirit—so you can better understand what they’re thinking and feeling and receive answers to your questions.
Through Animal Reiki and Meditation, I create a peaceful space where you and your animal can relax, feel safe, and connect more deeply—whether they are physically with you, down at the barn, or in spirit.
I began calling myself an “Animal Muse” over 30 years ago, after rescuing Kitechaser—KC for short and accompanied me while I studied for my Master’s in Counseling and Education.
KC awakened my intuition and telepathic abilities.
He guided me to Penelope Smith, my animal communication mentor and supported me as I developed my animal communication abilities.
After earning my Masters, I continued to follow KC’s lead. He nudged me toward becoming an Animal Communicator and Humane Educator—a path I’ve followed ever since.
This amazing spirit changed my life and opened my heart.
I will always be grateful to KC for his wisdom, presence, and love continue to inspire everything I do.
“Cathy’s enthusiasm, warmth, intelligence, brightness and caring shine through in all her animal communication work, whether she is giving individual consultations or teaching a group.”
~ Penelope Smith
After receiving my M.A. in Counseling and Education in 1996, I studied and apprenticed with animal communication pioneer Penelope Smith for over five years learning her tools and techniques.
I offer Animal Communication sessions globally via phone and video, and I’m authorized to teach Penelope’s Basic and Advanced seminars, both online and in person.
“Cathy is truly a kindred spirit in her love and commitment to helping animals and people.”
~ Kathleen Prasad
I studied Animal Reiki with Kathleen Prasad and became an Animal Reiki Master Teacher and Practitioner in 2009.
I practice and teach the Let Animals Lead® method, where your animal is free to receive Reiki in their own way.
During a distant Animal Reiki session, I create a peaceful space where your animal can relax, feel safe, and simply be so they can heal and find balance.
Reiki supports both you and your animal, whether they are physically next to us, down at the barn, or in spirit.
Reiki sessions are offered remotely, allowing your animal to receive in the comfort of their own environment.
I teach all levels of Animal Reiki and work with all species including humans.
For 25+ years, with your pet’s input, I’ve worked with pets and their people to help overcome anxiety and find peace together. So your animal can feel more calm and secure and you can feel more confident in how to support them.
I translate for your animal—whether they are with you or in spirit—so you can receive answers to your questions directly from them.
I use Reiki to help calm your animal, reduce stress, and support their overall well-being so they can feel more relaxed and at ease.
I help you understand what your animal needs so you can make clear, confident decisions for their well-being.
With a Master’s in Counseling and Education, I support both you and your animal with insight, compassion, and practical guidance.
I connect with animals who have passed to share what they want you to know—bringing comfort, clarity, and a deep sense of peace.
Many people are surprised to learn that the bond you share with your animal doesn’t end. Your animal is still aware, still connected, and often has thoughts and feelings they want to share.
These sessions can bring reassurance, healing, and a sense of closeness that helps you move forward while still feeling connected.
I offer personalized guided meditations and a supportive Meditation Circle where you and your animal can relax, reset, and deepen your connection together.
Meditating with your animal helps reduce stress, ease anxiety, and create a sense of safety and trust—for both of you.
Whether your animal is physically next to you, down at the barn, or in spirit, they’re always welcome.
I co-wrote this groundbreaking book with my big sister, Stefani Malkin Cohen, to help children feel safe around dogs.
I write about how offering Reiki helped an Australian Shepherd suffering from lymphoma.
I share my experience about foreshadowing and preventing the death of my dog, KC the Keeshond in this special book about animal death.
I interpret for KC as he shares his wisdom and love of teaching children about being kind and responsible to all beings in the web of life.
I volunteer my time at the Connecticut Humane Society, supporting shelter and rescue animals with Animal Communication and Reiki to help them feel safe, calm, and understood.
