Communicating with Plants and Animals

Q: Hi Sara. You are currently pursuing a doctorate in child development and ecology, but today I'm hoping to focus on another interest of yours. Would it be accurate to say that you are a plant and animal whisperer? How would you describe this gift in your own words?

I would say plant and animal communicator.

Q: Could you explain it, and what is the affinity that you have?

I’ve always grown up with plants and animals in our big garden, and I’ve always had dogs, so my closeness with nature has been since childhood. I used to go out in the garden, but I never gave it a second thought. Then, a couple of years back, one of my dogs developed behavioral issues, and we were worried that we would have to give her up. That’s when I discovered animal communication.

I started to research and do online courses, and I found it can be developed. It wasn’t innate in me as a child, because I was quite unobservant of my surroundings then. I have developed it over the years. We asked another communicator to talk with my dog and found out what issues she faced, and we were amazed at what she revealed about herself. That’s when I decided to go deeper into it. I pursued some courses, and they also talked about plant communication. So since November 2021, I’ve been talking to plants and animals.

I don’t do it so much professionally now, but we speak to our dogs and plants to see if they need anything, and about their well-being.

Q: How did the gift develop over time?
