What would change if everyone knew animals have souls, just like we do? This week we explore beyond our domestic pets and learn about the unique approach to animal welfare at Viva Rescue, a 501(3)(c) nonprofit.

Maya Benperlas, cofounder of Viva, shares the origin of the animal sanctuary, her background with equine-assisted therapy and horse rescues, how volunteers support the work, and the innovative veterinary care and holistic modalities used to give rescue animals their best lives.

Nora Armbruster, a reiki master and animal communicator who offers services at the sanctuary every week, shares her discovery of her own psychic abilities, the variety of souls and personalities she encounters through client and Viva sessions, and how pet reiki and mediumship can be a powerful support through pet loss and transition.

At the end of the episode, we get to experience a live animal communication session as Nora tunes in to Bambi, who transitioned a few weeks ago, and eagerly shares messages with her person, Dani.

In this episode:

2:34 - Maya’s work at Viva Rescue

20:45 - Nora’s career change into animal communication, and collaborations with Viva

44:32 - Mini animal communication “in spirit” session with Bambi, Dani’s chihuahua who recently transitioned

Searching for a lost pet is up there among the most stressful and emotional situations a pet parent can face. If you take away one thing from this week’s episode, let it be that this doesn’t have to be the end.

In this roundtable episode, we talk to three individuals who have intuitively connected with their pets in vastly different ways: through a communicator to locate a lost cat, through plant medicine (exposing a past life connection!), and by learning to read body language via a talented dog trainer. It turns out, the way we listen to our pets also mirrors the way we listen to our own inner voice.

We’re close to wrapping up “Spirit Doggies,” our season on intuitive animal communication. My mind has been blown by stories of what’s possible when we learn to tune into our furry friends, whether they’re our pets, wild animals, or so-called household pests. Thanks for joining be and stay tuned for what’s coming next!

In this episode:

• How a pet psychic directed Allissa C. directly to her lost cat

• Grief and the past life connection that Alyssa L.’s dog came to heal

• The differences between working with an animal communicator and a pet trainer

• Intuition as an inner voice vs. a download

• How each of the guests reconnected with their intuition after shutting it down in childhood, and how it impacts parenting, relationships, and more

Dogs come into our lives at the right time, and for a reason. The true extent of that karmic bond might be more than we currently comprehend. The practical uses of animal communication include finding lost pets, learning a rescue dog’s backstory, context for trauma healing, and perhaps a way to deal with household pests (!), but on a more spiritual level, our dogs are actually guardians and partners on our soul journey.

Our guest Morgan Balavage is a business coach, yoga teacher, manifestation expert, fellow teacher on the Insight Timer app, one of the most highly trained and skilled individuals I've encountered in mindfulness and spirituality.

In this episode:

• How relationships with dogs can help us better relate to humans
• Using animal communication to find lost pets
• Morgan’s adoption story of Spike (this gave me chills!)
• Morgan and Spike go to Mexico, transmute karma, encounter scorpions, rattlesnakes, and more
• Highly practical use of animal communication as antidote to arachnophobia
• Morgan’s profound childhood experience with meditation, early intuitive skills, and past life memories
• How Spike interacts with Morgan’s clients in healing sessions
