OUR METHOD
We believe that honoring Animal Wisdom makes us better humans.
We have developed practical, trainable methods of intuitive and empathic communication between people and animals for the well-being of both species.
The animals choose if or how they will interact so that the experience will be as beneficial to the animal as to the person.
