Working With Me
I provide consultations for individuals, families and those who work professionally with animals and believe animals are kin and not ‘just an animal’.
Those who are drawn to my work are ready to detach from the belief that humans have dominion over animals and discover ways to become more intentional in their interactions with animals.
Sessions help you come to a current understanding of each species’ wants, needs, and agency as mutual relationships are built and tended.
To find out how you and the animals can benefit from working with me, schedule a 30-minute discovery call.
One-time consultations and ongoing collaborative packages are available:
FRESHEN IS: one-time consultations (via Zoom or email) for folx who want a one-time insight into a particular matter. $300
Freshen is so named because it gives a chance to tend and nurture our relationship with animals, become reacquainted, consciously stay connected and make any adjustments necessary so both species continue to act in their agency. This can be challenging as colonized culture declares it’s not possible to connect with animals and we need to be reminded that it is not only possible, it is what true kinship is.
LIGHTEN IS: package of three sessions for those ready to invest more time, space & intentionality for deliberate exploration of connection. $810
Lighten - all of Freshen, plus colonized culture demands we ‘should be’ hyperindividualistic rather than being together as kin. We’re not meant to be Lone Rangers and to pretend we are meant to be lone rangers is damaging to us, to animals and promotes subtle reinforcement of colonized structure.
“We Americans are reluctant to learn a foreign language of our own species, let alone another species. But imagine the possibilities. Imagine the access we would have to different perspectives, the things we might see through other eyes, the wisdom that surrounds us. We don’t have to figure out everything by ourselves: there are intelligences other than our own, teachers all around us. Imagine how much less lonely the world would be.”
