Animal Communication

Purple Star emoji 79 items
Are you curious about what pets think and say? I have dabbled in animal communication since becoming a reiki Master Practitioner over twelve years ago. Recently I have become more serious about it, as I have seen and heard some remarkable things.  The messages I receive are simply heart warming. I fall in love with every animal and I think you will too. Would you like your own animal to have a reading? I offer readings for pets on Fiverr: https://www.fiverr.com/s/NN4BYLQ Check back for my own website coming soon to LoveandLearnings.com (It's not live yet though!) Enjoy!
