Making a decision to hire someone whose area of expertise involves interaction with a realm which few of us really understand (or in many cases frankly even believe in), can be a tricky proposition. While we may desperately be seeking greater clarity and answers when it comes to our animal companions, we may be loath to go what some would consider to be the “woo-woo” route. This is with good reason, as ill-intentioned, less than forthright people are certainly out there. In my estimation, Courtney is not one of them.

Courtney approaches each session with a series of questions, composed by the client. I wrote my questions in an open format, devoid of any intentional “gotchas”. I was struck by the answers - many of which were quite specific to each of my two dogs. For example, my older dog can be quite stubborn on walks, refusing to go a step further when he does not want to. This detail of his personality came through to Courtney - via my younger dog, interestingly. She evidently thought it important to point out to Courtney that while she is willing to be a bit more flexible with walks - and in general - that when her older brother is DONE, he is DONE! It’s an idiosyncrasy that is simply impossible to know unless one has dealt with my dogs directly. Courtney has never met my dogs, much less interacted with them.

Another interesting thing to consider is that some of the communication between Courtney and the animals can come through in the form of a visual metaphor. For example, one of the questions for each of my dogs concerned what they would like to do more of, including where they would like to go for walks and in general. A picture of a honey bee came through to Courtney, in connection with my older dog. I had no idea what this could mean. My husband, on the other hand, knew right away. Our older dog loves to hang out in a certain area with some employees on the mountain where we live. Their uniforms consist of yellow jackets and black pants, and they are referred to by the locals as “yellow jackets”. It’s his favorite place to hang out on the mountain, so this metaphor (while not immediately decipherable to me) made perfect sense. Meanwhile, our younger dog expressed a desire to 1) travel more to different places and 2) be around kids in general. This too, is personality consistent. At the mere mention of a “trip” (a word which visibly excites her), she is up and ready to bound into the car, whereas our older dog is not particularly excited about the process of traveling. Additionally, while both dogs are very friendly with children, my younger one especially loves them and will go out of her way to say hello to kids.

There were other examples consistent with their behaviors and preferences as well. One was related to food. As an animal caretaker, one gets a sense of their animals’ likes and dislikes. But I wanted to be sure that I was perceiving this correctly, so I asked Courtney if she could ask about their favorite foods. In the case of my older dog, the answer was salmon and ground beef (both of which I give him on a regular basis, but Courtney could not have known this). In the case of my younger dog, it was chicken, sweet potato and ice cream! This too, was consistent, but at the same time surprised me a bit. I didn’t realize how much she likes sweet potatoes, for example. On the other hand she goes crazy for a treat that looks very much like ice cream (but is whipped cream based), and practically drags me to a particular store to get them as often as she can!

I was also able to get some useful information about the groomer, whom they are not very fond of visiting (but they like the groomer, herself - just not the chaotic energy of other dogs in the space), as well as what they like about our current living situation versus the one prior.

All in all, Courtney really captured the unique personalities of both our dogs, and helped us to understand them better. And it was reassuring to have certain things confirmed. It is worth considering, however, that certain things may or may not be possible to easily change. For example, our younger dog has developed a habit of chewing her paws. This has developed into an addictive behavior over time, and not as a result of an actual medical issue. Courtney informed me that our dog didn’t understand how this could possibly be bad for her, as she finds it quite relaxing. It was an argument, in other words, that was unlikely to be “won”. So it is important to understand that while some behavioral changes can indeed occur (and have, as documented via other testimonials on the website), that each animal does have a certain self-directed will - which may or may not involve acquiescing to their owner’s will! I actually have seen some improvement with my younger dog, with respect to this issue. But it is still an issue and one that has not magically disappeared overnight. So again, it is important to have some measure of acceptance that every animal is different, and may not be so easily convinced.

If you are interested in getting to know your animals better, and want to gain a deeper understanding of their points of view, a “talk with Courtney” will certainly help you to do that, and will also provide some practical ideas for how to make their life experiences even more rewarding and enjoyable. And who doesn’t want that for their precious fur children?!

I don't even know where to start with my experiences so far with Courtney and my horse Lina.  I got Courtney's name on recommendation from someone else that had used her in the past and I am so glad I have her as my connection now!!!

The first two things she said to me when we did a communication she would have no way to know at all.  I am not on social media and there are no posts about me or my horse.  She mentioned something that we were literally working on hours before our session.  The second thing she said was that my horse wanted me to know that she felt good, especially her feet.  That is so interesting to me because I had such horrible issues with her feet when I got her and spent months fixing them.  She also nailed her personality and traits and we were not even on a video call.  I could see Lina totally melting and relaxing and she started yawning as Courtney was connecting with her.  She is not a yawner, it was amazing to watch the whole thing.  I had been having trouble loading Lina in the trailer to come home from shows, so this is something we are still focusing on, but there is such an improvement in her it's amazing.

After seeing what I saw and hearing what Courtney said I decided to try the Reiki to see if we can release some of the blocked energy that Lina is carrying.  In her throat chakra, Courtney mentioned that Lina is not afraid to get her point across if she wants something, not in a mean way, but you know when she wants something and this statement is right on. I could go on and on about the little subtle things that Courtney can pick up on from my horse, but there are actually too many.  I am totally impressed with how she can connect with an animal.   We are working on the areas where Lina is carrying some blocked energy and I am seeing a difference in her.  I have had several other people I board say how much more relaxed and chill my horse is and they had no idea that she was getting Reiki done.  I have had three sessions on her and I will tell you Courtney is part of our program.  I feel like my horse has benefited so much from Courtney over the last few months and have asked Courtney to be a regular part of my horse's program.

I highly recommend Courtney for her communication and her Reiki.  It is rare to find someone that can connect with an animal in the ways that she can and has the ability to read them.  I will continue to use and recommend Courtney.  Do not hesitate to try her you will be amazed at the information she can give you about your pet awesome insight.  Additionally, she gave me things that I can do myself that I believe have helped deepen by connection with my horse. Absolutely and amazing and positive experience!

After losing our dog Jack to a short and sudden illness, I was in so much pain and despair. I did a search for a Christian animal communicator, and found Courtney. She made me feel so comfortable right away, and once she started communicating with Jack, it was absolutely amazing. There is no doubt that we were communicating directly with Jack. Courtney could not have known his little quirks, eccentricities, his personality, or specific information about his life. Knowing that I connected directly with my boy and that he is not only happy and fully restored, but he is ok with his passing, gives me so much peace and comfort. Learning that he still visits and sleeps with me at night, makes me so happy. We are still mourning his physical absence, but my communication session with Courtney changed my grief. I am no longer sinking in despair because I know that Jack isn't really gone. He is happy and he still loves us and is always just a thought away. Bless you, Courtney for sharing your gift with the world.

In the past, I've been skeptical about animal communication, but when Courtney read my dog, she knew some things there was no way she would have been able to know!  She has a true ability to communicate with pets, and has given me so much joy with knowing some things about my dogs and horses that I would have never known.  She also gave me some closure with a beloved pet that passed on.  So worth it!
