Shamwari - For The Animals

07/22/2026

I will no longer be updating this page (I'm going to keep it live for a while though) as I'm integrating my animal communication and advocacy into my coaching practice and, moving forward, will be posting only on my Shamwari: Coaching and Communicating page. Please join us over there, things are accelerating and I'd love you to come along for the ride!

Take a minute to relax with the ladies as they enjoy a meal. Breathe. Let your shoulders drop. I promise, your own animal companions will feel the difference. 💗

Having a pet with dementia can be exhausting and frustrating, but it can also open our hearts and teach us compassion. Remembering that he's not yelling at all hours of the night because he wants to be difficult, but rather because he's lost or confused and needs reassurance. The sweet purr when you pick him up and tell him he's OK can make it feel like it's all worthwhile - and can make you feel like a guilty monster for yelling at him when you're on your last nerve.

That's when a communication session can reconnect you with their essence... because they're not their condition, and it's so easy to lose sight of that at 3am.

Some energy healing can help support all the nervous systems that are frazzled and reduce the stress that makes dementia symptoms worse.

Or perhaps some EFT tapping can take your emotional charge down a notch so that you're not taking out your frustrations on your confused elder or the rest of the family

Or maybe this is bringing up your deepest fears around a parent who is starting to show signs of cognitive decline and your unspoken resentment about having to step into a caregiver role - a Gestalt Coaching session can help you process the complex emotions and make a plan for how to go forward constructively.

I can help wth all of these, and I'd love to be on your team, working alongside your vet, trainer and/or behaviorist - because your pet's twilight years should be a precious time of appreciation, connection, and care for both of you.

It's not too late to do something for your animals when the fireworks start! Here are five free things you can do TODAY.

🐾 Know what helps YOU stay calm and have those practices or items to hand. Whether it’s a weighted blanket, earplugs, soothing music, essential oils (careful with these, if you have cats!), flower essences, or meditation/breathing practices, being mindful about your own state helps you to get ahead of the anxiety curve.
🐾 Talk to them! Tell your animals out loud that things are going to get loud and chaotic, but that they are safe and OK. Hold the intention of a calm and peaceful state for everyone in the home.
🐾Schedule some play time with your animals and then feed them before the big bangs start - give them time to rest and digest.
🐾Physically protect your animals by bringing them inside if you can, and create a quiet, safe space for them so they are contained and can’t flee. If they live outside, make sure fences are secured, they have some form of ID on them, and check on them regularly.
🐾 Line up a calming playlist! 🎶iCalmPet has powerful, clinically tested soundtracks for dogs and cats (Through a Dog's Ear and Through a Cat's Ear). You can stream for free or purchase downloads so you're not wi-fi dependent. https://icalmpet.com/

I want to call out a sweet book one of my clients published - Love Me Too is a lovely children’s story that helps young readers understand that every animal deserves to be seen, loved, and given a place to belong. If you have young children, or know someone who does, this would be a perfect gift for them!

Consent seems to be such a difficult concept for humans to grasp. I admit, I've been guilty of cute aggression too! But the more I learn and pay attention (and, frankly, the more I live into my VALUES rather than my impulses), the less inclined I am to randomly inflict myself on my animals. And honestly? It feels better when they choose me. 😘
