What would you do for your beloved animal companions if they were sick? How far would you go to help them? What if you knew a way to hear their thoughts, how they really felt inside even though they couldn’t talk out loud? Would you want to know what they think? If they were in pain, would you want to know what exactly they were feeling?

            As an animal communicator and healer I have had many miraculous experiences. I firmly believe pet owners would benefit from hearing and learning about how to deal with the joy, love and ultimate loss of a beloved animal friend.

            The knowledge that I have gained from talking to our animal companions astounds me. More importantly, through my thirteen years as an animal communicator and my ten plus years as an energy healer, I know that I have important information to provide to those that have an animal friend. This information should be especially welcome if they have had the heart-wrenching loss of a beloved pet or are currently going through one of the worst times in their life – trying to help a pet that has been diagnosed as terminal.

            My spirit guides always told me I had a book inside me but I was not to write it just yet. As frustrated as I felt, I kept asking when I would write it, not knowing what I would write about. At the beginning of 2013, out of the clear blue, I was told through my psychic mentor that I was to write my book. The problem was, I still didn’t know what I should write about. I had so many experiences and so much to say, I wasn’t sure what to focus on. Not to worry–spirit provided again. I received a clear message that the name of the book was to be A Tail of Hope’s Faith.   Yep, they even showed me how TAIL was to be written. In the title was my answer. I was to write Hope’s story. I had just come full circle in an amazing true story of one dog’s battle against the inevitable and her triumph through re-incarnation to return to those she loved.

            Let me say from the start that I believe very deeply in animal hospice. I believe our animals should be consulted on their “life wishes.” They should have a voice in how and when they will transition into spirit. Based on this belief, I have talked to and assisted many of my pet clients and their owners through the hardest decisions of their lives.

            Before speaking with our animal friends, I call upon my spirit guides, St. Francis of Assisi and my animal totems to ensure my communication is clear, accurate and for the highest good of everyone involved. I let the owners and their animal friends guide me to receive messages of hope, healing and pure love, and working to ensure everyone involved understands what is being conveyed and how to help.

         This book is a true story of dedication, love and perseverance on the part of a dog named Hope, her family and me, an animal communicator. Through animal communication, specific holistic healing modalities along with the diligent assistance of her family, we were able to extend Hope’s last days and ensure she had a good quality of life. Hope was able to express her thoughts and feelings and we consequently provided healing and guidance in a very difficult situation. Together, we made Hope’s life better. This I know, because she told me.

         In reading this story, you will learn how animal communication can help any situation between you and your pet. You will come to know what healing modalities can assist your animal, whether your pet simply pulled a muscle, has arthritis, or something more life threatening. I will explain how the use of aromatherapy, using essential oils, can reduce symptoms and create changes in your pet’s behavior. I will teach you how to utilize tuning forks to provide sound and vibration therapy for your pet to elicit relaxation, speed wound healing, help with their range of motion, ground your pet and help to provide focus for them.

       I will explain the difference between Reiki energy healing and Healing Touch for Animals® (HTA) and provide much needed information regarding the energy system of your animal companion. I cannot provide step by step instructions for HTA techniques because that is proprietary information; however, if you are interested there will be URLs listed in the additional resource section of this book to guide you to a class in your area where you can obtain instruction. Such classes were by far the best learning experience I have ever had in my entire life and it helped shape who I am and what I do today.

     Additionally, I will show you how to use Bach Flower® essences to help with end of life emotional issues for both you and your pet, along with using them to provide comfort to an animal when they have a debilitating illness. I will also provide instruction for healing with color.

     Hope had a rough beginning to her life but she didn’t have a rough end. The love she received from her human family and their dedication to helping her was a true testament to their belief that she deserved a chance just as much as a human being. She was a valuable family member who warranted all the care, love, support and healing they would provide because she was one of them.

     I am humbled and proud to have been part of her journey and my life is richer for having known her. Thank you, Hope; you have provided me, your family, and everyone who knows your story, with the essence of your name–Hope.
