Our cat Syd
About 15 months ago, our cat Syd started having some sinus issues. She “snorted” when she breathed but she seemed otherwise good. Over time her face started to become deformed and her nose pushed out until she had no profile. When we took her to the vet, we were told that she had a brain tumor – nothing could be done. She lost weight and at one point was down to about 4 pounds. Syd was never a large cat but 4 pounds was way too small. She was frail, she had a swollen head, her eye had been pushed back in its socket and she was in very rough shape.
At about that time I was taking an animal communications class with Andrea. Andrea mentioned that she had sent healing energy to some animals, so I asked her if she would be willing to work with Syd. She was. After several sessions with Syd, she mentioned some stomach upset possibly having to do with her food. We switched the food. Syd has gained considerable weight, she has a nose and a profile again, her eye is better and she has recently started sleeping with us again. It is so good to have her back.
Andrea’s ability to heal is amazing, and I am thankful she worked with Syd.

Our horse Mystic
Andrea was a life saver for our horse Mystic. Mystic came to live with us 5 years ago and was very skittish and quite lame. While he was an easy horse to work around when you could catch him, he was not trusting of people. Through Andrea’s communication skills with him he has become not only a more trusting horse but also quite sound. He no longer runs off when people approach him but whinnies and comes up to visit. I would recommend Andrea to everyone who has an animal who needs help. Thank you again Andrea for giving Mystic a second chance at feeling good about himself!

My Super Stallion Kitoko
Andrea, I wanted you to know that your intervention to help Kitoko and me had—to say nothing of the physical aspect—brought a real charm, in the magical sense of the word, into our life together. There was more confidence, more cheerfulness, more lightness in our relationship.
But I was a little late and, little by little, it seemed to me that this magic was fading away. I could feel Kitoko becoming like extinct, half absent, weary perhaps, or resigned. So I didn't write because this shared joy was no longer there. And all of a sudden Kitoko was really tired, really sad, and he showed signs of colic.
I told you all this, your response came in the moment, indeed, you had been less present to him because you had had several other animals to take care of, but you immediately visited him in thought and energy and... threat of colic disappeared, profusion of dung, cheerfulness and good humor returned. Super Stallion was back, is back. Thank you for your real "charm," Andrea. I can't put into words how much I trust you and how grateful I am to you.

My cat Vanilla
Almost 2 years ago our cat, Vanilla, was hospitalized for several days because of an acute episode of a chronic kidney condition. When he came home he was so thin and weak that we weren’t sure he was going to make it. My sister had heard of Andrea through a friend and suggested I contact her; I was very skeptical that anyone could connect with—and send healing energy to—my cat from afar, but I contacted her anyway.
I found that Andrea was able to connect with Vanilla at once and send him healing energy that seemed to make him feel better. Since then whenever Vanilla Bean (as she calls him) has low energy or seems off and I reach out for feedback, she responds quickly to tell us what she thinks is going on. She has always been honest about what she is or isn’t able to do, and has always encouraged us to continue to give him good veterinary care as needed.
Andrea is so caring and generous with her time, and has been a tremendous ally throughout this process. Everything she has done has been value added to his quality of life.
PS. Vanilla had his annual check up last week and his kidney disease blood levels went from stage 4 to stage2! Even his anemia has improved. That’s without a kidney food diet, because he wouldn’t eat anything but fancy feast. The vet said if he continued at this rate he could live for years.

My horse Shana
A few months earlier Andrea had helped my QH, Cutter, and so it was no question that I called Andrea when my Arabian mare choked. Shana had just finished her small hay pellets when suddenly she coughed repeatedly trying to dislodge a few hay pellets that had gotten stuck in her airway. Green snot came running out her nostril, her neck was stretched forward, and she continuously shook her head, trying to free her airway. With me on the phone, Andrea began her magic... there is no other way to describe it. I watched Shana transform in front of my eyes as soon as Andrea had connected with her. A few more coughs, a shake of the head, a blow through the nose, and within a few moments Shana began to breathe normally. After a few more breaths Shana walked into the pasture as if nothing had happened. I am so grateful for Andrea's help and the gift she offers.

Our pony Pat
When our elderly pony was ailing, it was wonderful to have Andrea's help with healing support for him. I was feeling overwhelmed with the physical care (and worry) so just couldn't do the reiki or energy healing work that his system needed. Plus the vet couldn't do much to help in this situation either. Having Andrea's skills was a huge support and just what pony Patrick needed. Horses can often respond quickly to the energy healing work which Andrea offers.

My horse Hamilton
“It’s interesting how horses respond to the labels that are applied to them,” Andrea observed after connecting with my horse, Hamilton.
While he was fabulous under saddle, he had become bad-tempered and sometimes downright nasty in the stall during grooming or tacking up, as well as unpredictable in the field, food aggressive, and a proven danger to the other horses he was turned out with. Our relationship had deteriorated to the point that I had decided he was no longer the horse for me.
During her work with Hamilton, Andrea conveyed to him a vision of the beautiful and vibrant horse he could become—an accepted and valuable individual with a solid place in the herd. Soon after this I saw the physical and emotional changes begin to take shape—he had a softer eye, pricked his ears with a new sense of curiosity, and had the desire to connect with me and his herd.
Andrea’s intuitive gifts, her gentle guidance and praise are helping to create a new, confident, secure horse, and one I am proud to count as my partner. A horse that can be, as Andrea puts it: “An ambassador for other troubled horses with the potential to save others like him.”

My kitty Angus
I worked with Andrea over several months to help a kitty with a rare disease after the vet couldn’t help us anymore. The results from her healing sessions were amazing! Our kitty defied his prognosis and got his playfulness back. Andrea’s approach was always so thoughtful and thorough. She is a gifted healer who truly cares about the wellbeing of the animals she works with. I’ve had a wonderful experience working with her!

My dog Phin
After a nosebleed and an Xray our vet determined immediately that our youngest sheltie had nasal cancer. To say we were shocked is a bit of an understatement: our pup was acting completely normally aside from the occasional nosebleeds and runny eyes. How could he be so near death? In an attempt to accept this, I decided to share my story with a sheltie Facebook group. At the very least, maybe I could help someone out that is noticing similar symptoms. I received an outpouring of love and support from many people, including Andrea. It was here that she reached out to me.
Andrea explained that she was a healer and wanted to help if I was open to the idea. I am open to most things but never had any experience with a healer. That said, I was at wits end with our solutions so far: the prescribed steroids worked on occasion and I did some separate research on natural supplements and remedies which helped with symptoms (steam baths and essential oils helped break up mucus, for instance). We just wanted him to be “comfortable”. A week or so after he was diagnosed, we noticed him going downhill. Phin was always tired, would plant his nose in the grass and dirt, and I had to clean his eyes 3 times a day. The worst thing out of all of this: Phin really couldn’t sleep very well. Upon laying down he would jump up and start coughing/hacking.
After Andrea started to send him healing, he really seemed so much more at ease. During one of our conversations, I noticed that Phin actually “checked out” during one of these sessions—he lifted his head and stared off into space (which he doesn’t do—he actively reacts to sounds and visuals). After he came to, Phin laid down and fell asleep. There were a few more times like these when Andrea and I talked: I would mention we had a “bad” day and Andrea would jump in. Then he would have a better day.
My conversations with Andrea did not last long, unfortunately, as we decided to put Phin to sleep three weeks after he was diagnosed. Andrea helped me with this as well, telling me how Phin was feeling and relaying my feelings to him. In the end I was assured he wasn’t in pain (both by Andrea and by watching Phin closely), and this was what we wanted. Despite this outcome, Andrea did exactly what we wanted for our terminally ill pet—she gave him peace. For this I am grateful.
Thank you again, Andrea, for reaching out and for your unwavering kindness. You have a forever friend in me.

My dog Bowie
My young and active dog Bowie found himself with a partial CCL tear in his knee September 2020. These injuries very often require surgery, followed by months of rest and rehab. That was not an option for Bowie: he would be climbing the walls. I found myself in a state of high stress and panic over this injury—"how am I going to keep this extremely active dog calm long enough to heal his knee? And the rest of the treatment isn’t even guaranteed to work!"
I knew just who to call—Andrea! Her energy healing sped up the healing process, and she helped him understand he needed to rest; she also gave me tips for how to help cultivate a healing environment for him. At his vet check after 8 weeks, the vets were amazed by his progress. We are 3-1/2 months from initial diagnosis and Bowie has very minimal lameness and just got cleared for increased exercise! Many dogs don't get to this point and end up needing surgery.
We owe it all to Andrea's incredible skill and medical intuition for getting us to where we are. Thank you, Andrea! You are the absolute best and we love you!!
