Karen Craft, Animal Shaman
“Animal communicators sense that all animals are sentient beings with a telepathic ability to express their feelings. Everyone has at least some capacity to receive/send telepathic information. People often consult professional communicators to validate information they've already gotten from their animal companions.” Karen does telephone consultations, Shamanic healing journeys, Shamanic Reiki, and other healing arts. She does not do “lost pet” work. Check out Karen's website today for an in-depth view of who Karen is and what she can offer you. The photography alone on her website is worth a look!
