The World Needs More People Like You
Those who understand animals are our kin and sentient beings.
Every day you hear stories of our broken relationship with animals. These stories can be centered around:
Anthropomorphism
Unrealistic expectations of basic needs
Irresponsible care by humans
Hearing stories while trying to stay rooted in your commitment to animals is challenging. It can lead to overwhelm, hopelessness and feeling lost. You can end up throwing your hands in the air.
It’s hard to be there for animals when you’re lost in your own overwhelm.
Working Together
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.
There are 3 ways I work with people: face to face, offering study modules following me on Bluesky.
Face to Face:
Kindred is the online community for true kinship with animals. It is our anchor point for meeting. To register or find out what else Kindred offers, here you go.
Individual consultations - the upcoming 1:1 Walk Your Talk and the 1:1 -3 Session Consultation Package Lighten Face to face consultations are for individuals, families and those who work professionally with animals and believe animals are kin and not ‘just an animal’
If you are looking for a 1:1 session and we haven’t worked together before, each session starts with a discovery call. Find that information and schedule here.
Self Study:
Paying members of the Substack newsletter community have full access to the ever growing true kinship with animals teaching library found there. It includes teachings, journal prompts, altar suggestions, affirmations, practice tips, & updates and quotes on the book I’m writing on pet grief.
Modules These modules are designed for independent learning. They offer a flexible way to expand your knowledge and skills at your own pace, in your own way, in your own time.

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.”
