About Catherine

Catherine has been working since 1996 as an Insurance Agent in the St. Louis, Missouri area. In 1998, she began doing some volunteer work for a local greyhound rescue group, Rescued Racers of St. Louis. In 1999, while still selling insurance, she started helping some of the greyhound owners by doing some dog sitting for them in their homes.

It was during that time that she started hearing “little voices in her head.” While she was fixing the dogs food, she heard “That’s not how my mom does it.” And, while taking another dog for a walk, she heard “Dad always turns right at this corner.”

She thought it was just her imagination and that she was losing her mind. Because Catherine was too embarrassed to tell anyone, this went on for several years with different dogs at different homes.

Then, she was told about a book by Amelia Kinkade titled “Straight From the Horses Mouth”. She read the book and started practicing some of the techniques that Kinkade outlines in her book. The more she practiced, the better she got.

In April of 2004, Catherine had an opportunity to attend a 2 day workshop conducted by Amelia Kinkade. After the workshop, Catherine’s communication skills improved even more.

Soon, more people learned of her skill and have called upon her to communicate with their animals. She has communicated with horses, dogs, cats and many animals in the wild.

Her goal is to promote a greater awareness of the ability within all of us to communicate with animals. She believes that when we learn to quiet our minds and discard a lot of our old beliefs, we will be amazed at what we can learn from the animals as well as from nature.
