Katherine Pettit - Animal Communicator

"I've been working with Katherine for nearly fifteen years. She has seen my family (human and more than human) through multiple relocation moves, behavioral challenges, illness, losses of a couple of our dearest companions, and the introduction of new four-leggeds. Each session offers me insight into the animal's experience, and over time, those insights help me develop a sense of each animal's unique voice, increasing my confidence in communicating with them on my own. What a gift to have this kind of support from Katherine in these relationships I hold so dear." ~Sasha Davis, Portland, Oregon

If you need a last minute gift idea for someone who has everything and loves animals, an animal communication session is a thoughtful and unique gift.

Animal communication is a spiritual practice combining intuitive communication with a holistic approach. The animal communicator gathers essential information from the animal's person and then asks the animal questions using extrasensory perception.

This is is why I walk my courses at least three times when I’m competing.

Visualizing an action is not just daydreaming. Neuroscience shows that when you imagine performing a skill, your brain activates many of the same circuits used during real physical movement. This process is called mental rehearsal. Every time you picture yourself completing an action with clarity and detail, the brain strengthens the neural pathways responsible for that movement. It works like practice without the physical effort.

Athletes, musicians, surgeons, and performers have used this technique for decades because studies prove it improves accuracy, confidence, and reaction time. When the brain fires these pathways repeatedly, the connection becomes faster and stronger. That means the body can execute the action more smoothly when the moment arrives. Psychologists explain that visualization increases motivation and reduces performance anxiety because the brain learns to feel familiar with the task before it actually happens.

Mental rehearsal also improves problem solving. When you imagine different outcomes, the brain explores multiple strategies, making you more adaptable in real life. This form of training is so effective that sports psychologists use it as a core part of elite performance programs.

Your brain does not wait for action to begin learning. Every mental repetition shapes your abilities and prepares you for success.

Leo is a little stoned after major dental surgery. He had 6 teeth extracted. He was stable during surgery and is recovering very well. Thank you Nelson Animal Hospital for taking great care of him. He is so happy to have his infected teeth out of his mouth!

Toby has a new pinto friend. What do you think his name should be?

Hi Katherine,

Amazing news! I'm so emotional!!

Guinness was found! We got a call from the number on his collar. Such a MIRACLE!! Just had the snuggliest most emotional reunion with him!

He made himself seen and got pets from someone and that person ended up calling us. So great!

He must have walked so long!

He is thin but happy and healthy. Wow.

Thanks again so much for all your warmth and kindness and insight!

Mango, about 9 years old, female

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
I am a queen.
I am superior to all beings. Except I have a soft place in my heart for human children.
I am a kind cat but I am impatient if my supreme qualities are not acknowledged and recognized.
I understand humans don’t get it sometimes, I am here to show them the way. I am patient. I will model what I expect.
I express myself, I do not hide my feelings.
I make it known. I believe in being my true authentic self, even if others do not like it.
I am an old soul, I am confident and wise.
I have a lot to teach and offer.

A sweet snippet from a reading with Beau today:

Do you want to be N's barrel horse? I understand you can be unstable sometimes, getting hot at the gate and not wanting to go in the arena.
~yes I would like that. I would like to please her. It would be my honour to do that for her. I am her teacher. If she really wants something, she has to demand it. I am a good, gentle and well trained horse. I know what she wants, but she has to convince me. All children have their teachers, it helps them develop. To passively comply with a child is to spoil them. I know what I am doing. She needs to be clear and strong with me. I will take care of her, I will keep her on my back. (Showing his big heart). Of course, children can loose their balance at high speeds, but I am not dirty, I will not intentionally hurt her. I will be a teacher, and some lessons will be hard to learn. I love her and want to guide her. I would be lucky to have her as my child.

I am so happy Teddy is back. He has been back for about a week and a half from his sojourn in Alberta. Emily is having so much fun on him, feeling bold and brave, working on transitions, cantering, and riding ba****ck too. She deserves this so much, to feel safe and comfortable and practice her skills. He is a great horse for her to achieve her Rider Levels for high school credits.

I am practicing and expanding my training, too. I have been taking Teddy in the back forest behind the barn, the 150 acre park land. We start out in an easy walk to warm up. After ten minutes of walking, we warm up doing trot circles around a tree. There is a significant hill at the back of the property so it gives us a chance to warm up until we get there. I have been trotting and cantering him up the hill to get him using his hind quarters. It is both strength and cardio training. We extend the distance every time we go. When we get to the top, we slow down, turn around and walk down the hill so he uses his core to support himself. We turn around and canter up again. We repeat this interval training with hill work 3-4 times. After hill work, we do intervals of walk and trot home. We have Atlas with us and Teddy likes to race him so we have to practice WHOA or he will gallop at full speed all the way home to win the race. It’s so much fun to use natural obstacles and features to work on interval training and transitions. It feels like a natural progression from where we left off a year ago, I am feeling engaged by the new challenge of working in wild terrain and it’s keeping him fit so he can do some jumping with Emily in the Spring.
