"CONNECTING HEARTS  AND SOULS AND MINDS WITH LOVE"

 

Thank you for your interest in the services I provide!  Assisting animals and people in various ways brings me great joy. Being of service is a key element of my life’s path and purpose. 

Following are descriptions of these services; for fees, payment options and scheduling a session or consultation or ordering a treatment bottle, please see information near the bottom of this page.

ANIMAL COMMUNICATION SESSIONAn animal communication session offers you a unique perspective on your animal companion's personality -- what they feel, think, believe, understand . . . and about your animal companion's spiritual self or soul, which has a purpose and a path in this lifetime, as we humans do. I am wholly committed to educating and encouraging others to ponder and examine and consider their animal companions from a whole new perspective. To see them as loving beings who are with us to teach us, to learn from us, to share with us at more than just a physical level. A telepathic communication session serves to enhance the bond between the parties, bringing clarity and deeper understanding to their relationship. It can also provide information about health issues (if requested, I do a body scan to pick up information about how the animal is feeling, how their energy field is functioning, blocks in energy, I look at each system of the body and will note for you what I see/feel/notice, and may make suggestions for natural care options including certain supplements, Bach essences, TTouch, acupuncture, etc. – note: I am not a veterinarian). As well, an animal communication session can address behavioral and emotional issues, performance issues, make the connection with an animal in spirit, address the euthanasia question . . . there is really no limit to what an animal communication session can be helpful for.

I focus on a photograph of the animal (if one can be provided). I relay detailed messages between you and your animal friend and type that out for you so you have a detailed transcript of the session. I am not on the phone with you when I do the session. I email (or mail, if you don't have email) the transcript, you read it, then call me so we can talk about the session. In the case of emergencies, a photograph is not strictly necessary if one can't be provided. It is not necessary for me to be in the animal’s presence to receive information. In fact, my clients are located worldwide (England, Canada, Sweden, Argentina, South Africa, Belgium, Spain, New Zealand . . . as well as throughout the United States). I work with all species of animals and all situations except lost animals. For more information, see About Animal Communication.

CONSULTATIONS

Each of the following types of consultation are tailored to meet your needs.  PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT A VETERINARIAN, and I do not offer medical diagnoses or veterinary type advice to clients.  Rather, I provide information helpful in making informed decisions about matters affecting your animal companion’s health and well-being. This may come about in part through my doing a body scan during an animal communication session so you can better understand your animal friend's health issue.  My intent is always to empower clients to care for their animals in a more holistic, natural manner, and to encourage them to educate themselves and others regarding same.  Always consult with your veterinarian regarding medical issues and for a proper diagnoses.  An accurate diagnosis is necessary to determine the best natural care options to include in your animal companion's health care program. I also highly encourage you to locate a holistic and/or homeopathic veterinarian to work with. See the Alternative Care Practitioners page to locate ones in your area, or if there isn't one in your area, a few I recommend who offer phone consultations.

HOLISTIC CARE CONSULTATIONS.  Learning about and implementing a "more natural, less chemical" approach to your animal companion's health care is one of the most loving gifts you can provide for them.  I offer consultations regarding the basics of holistic animal care, including but not limited to raw food diets, chiropractic and other body work, supplements that support the immune system and/or are helpful for certain health problems, the usefulness of herbal and homeopathic remedies, basic first aid using natural products, and the use of Bach flower essences for addressing mental, emotion, spiritual, and in certain cases physical, issues the animal is dealing with.  I have two fabulous Weimaraners who are both fed raw food diets and are supported by natural care alternatives including supplements, Bach flower essence remedies, homeopathy, body work, and energy clearing and rebalancing.   

BACH FLOWER ESSENCES FOR PEOPLE AND ANIMALS.  There are 38 remedies made from different flowering plants and trees.  Bach flower essence remedies contain the vibrational (energetic) essence of the natural substance it was distilled from.  These remedies address negative thoughts and mental/emotional/spiritual trauma and issues, which color how attitude/behavior is exhibited and which manifest at times as physical illness.  A few work directly on the physical level as well (for instance, Crab Apple is great to use while clearing parasites, infections, etc. from the body), but the remedies actually address imbalance at the mental, emotional and spiritual level.  Dr. Bach believed dis-ease of the mind/emotions causes physical dis-ease; hence treating the mental/emotional/spiritual imbalance will allow the physical dis-ease to resolve.  For more information, please see the Bach Flower Essences page.

WILD EARTH ANIMAL ESSENCES FOR PEOPLE AND ANIMALS.  "Gentle Remedies for Support and Transformation".  In the tradition of flower essences, Wild Earth Animal Essences nurture you with the wisdom and power of wild animals. (No animals are captured or harmed.)  Animal essences, like flower essences and gem elixirs, are "vibrational remedies".  Each of the animal essences contains the vibrational imprint and energy of the animal but does not contain any animal parts.  The remedies are made during a ceremonial process of attunement in the wild.  This ceremonial process takes place in the wilderness of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and includes the invocation of the spirit of the animal, along with meditation and prayerful attunement with the animal involved.  For more information, please see the Wild Earth Animal Essences page.

YOUNG LIVING ESSENTIAL OILS  These are the highest quality oils you'll find, and they're therapeutic grade (unlike other lines, especially the synthetic ones). They are helpful for mental, emotional, physical and spiritual issues and conditions, and I've seen them do amazing things for myself and my animal friends. For instance, Lavender is absolutely fabulous for healing skin problems and minimizing or preventing scarring. See my Essential Oils page for information, and please let me know if you're interested in ordering oils or need help choosing the appropriate oils. (No Charge for assistance with choosing the oils if you order through me.)

BASIC ANIMAL CARE CONSULTATIONS.  The public is becoming aware of health and behavioral problems associated with feeding kibble and canned foods and processed treats (including chemically preserved biscuits, rawhide chews and the like), specifically those containing a poor quality of ingredients.  If you are not familiar with what those ingredients in your animal friend's non-premium grade kibble or canned food  and fancy treats really are, and what that means to your animal friend's health and longevity . . . maybe it's time to ask questions.  These consultations can include, but are not limited to,  information regarding appropriate kibbles to feed or avoid and why; how to supplement with natural foods if desired; choosing safe toys, raw bones and natural biscuits/treats instead of commercially prepared products; options for natural pest control; etc.

BONES AND RAW FOOD CONSULTATIONS.  For those interested in learning about feeding a raw food diet.  In most cases, feeding a raw diet costs the same or less than a bag of premium kibble.  These consultations can include, but are not limited to,  information regarding the principles behind the raw food diet, health benefits which can be expected (included reduced veterinary bills, fresher breath and clean teeth!), the use of certain supplements, ways to obtain foods at reduced cost, what to expect during the detoxification process, the use of raw recreational bones for dental health, natural treat recipes and more. 

VACCINATION ISSUES.   Education regarding the ongoing controversy surrounding vaccinations, the over-vaccination problem and potential side effects, and the revised vaccine protocol being contemplated by the American Veterinary Medical Association. See my Vaccination Issues page for more information.

 

GIFT CERTIFICATES are available for each of the services I offer.

WORKSHOPS/SUPPORT GROUP.  Please see the Workshops and More page.

INTUITIVE/SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE I am asked to assist people with problems they are struggling with, questions they have about finding their life's purpose and path, letting go of old habits and patterns and relationships that no longer serve them, spiritual crises/crossroads, getting out of ruts, metaphysical matters, job changes, and more. For detailed information about these sessions, see the Intuitive Guidance page.

In these sessions I call on your guardians, guides, angels and Higher Self for information and assistance to help you with any area of your life. General readings, specific issues/questions, relationships, business matters, etc. can be explored from a realistic and spiritual perspective. Learn what your guides want you to know at this time in your life. Tarot cards can be utilized (information from them is guided by my knowledge of their meanings, your guardians, angels, guides’ and Higher Self’s input, and my intuition), or I can just tap in and pass along what comes through from your guides, Higher Self and my intuition as we talk.

To schedule a session, please contact me at kat@katberard.com or 210-402-1220. Sessions typically run 75-90 minutes and are prorated in 15 minute increments. My fee is US$100/hour. If you are in the U.S. or Canada, I will call you to save you a long distance charge. I also tape the session on standard cassette tapes if we do the session by phone versus a channeled writing session (if you are outside the U.S., the cost is $5 to help cover international shipping.)

I highly recommend taking the appropriate Wild Earth Animal Essences in conjunction with working on issues that are addressed in a session. This will facilitate faster processing and movement towards your goals, whatever they may be (greater understanding, motivation, release of anger, clarity in relationships or business decisions, etc.). See the Wild Earth Animal Essence pages for more information.

Here are a few of the comments I've received about intuitive guidance sessions:

"Your readings are very powerful! At times it was hard for me to let things in (the rebel archetype) but I resisted that impulse as best I could. I have come away from the experience with a clarification that is very important for my work and I thank you for this marvelous gift. You are a master!"

"I feel that the reading changed my energy enough to make positive changes in my life. I made some decisions after we spoke that helped me move forward. It was as though something clicked, and suddenly I stopped looking over my shoulder. I want and deserve the light before me. Thank you for your assistance. I will recommend you to anyone that I feel would be open to your work."

"I had a session with you some time ago. It really helped and my life and awareness is increasing everyday."

"Thanks again for doing the reading for me yesterday, I am still in awe." T.S.

“Just wanted to thank you for your time and your energy! Am thinking about it all and now feel more Free to make a decision. Love, J.J.”

“Thanks so much for taking the time for me, I really enjoyed the talk, and YOU. You are great to talk to.” A.K.

“Thank you very much for the guidance session. I received the help I had been praying for. Thanks for helping me visualize a new future.” B.C.

“Hi, Kat! You certainly gave me a lot to think about and explore! I have had many readings over the years, but what you told me was the most direct and most helpful!” C.B.

"I just finished a tarot card reading with Kat earlier this morning. She is good!. It brought greater clarity to areas and paths I need to take in my life. She brings the past, present and future into her reading and it helped me see where I should be putting my focus and energies. PS: I think she should charge more . . . she is worth every penny."
