Consultations

OK, I’d like to book a session, what happens now?

Option 1: By telephone (you can live anywhere in the world for this option). What I need is a photo of your animal(s) and a list of questions that you would like to ask. Ask as many as you would like, most people ask anywhere from 6-12. In terms of background, I need enough information to be able to understand the context of the questions and answers. So just as an example, any health or behavior issues I should know about. I need to know who is in the household. Lots of times animals will mention another person or animal in their lives and if I don't know who they are it's really hard to follow up!

When I have your questions and a photo, we'll set up a day and time for you to call me when I will read you word for word what the animal said (so I do the communication before we get on the phone, though we can do follow up or clarification questions with your animal while we are on the phone if we need to). If you are outside of the United States, I can type up a transcript of my communication with your animal and email it to you (there will be an extra charge for my typing time).

Option 2: If you live in the Portland area, I can arrange to come to your home. Please prepare a list of questions that you would like me to ask in advance.
