Animal Communication Consultations
with Tera Thomas
A consultation is a conversation between you and your animal companion(s) or your power animal over the telephone. I facilitate the conversation by serving as an interpreter for you and your companion. It is kind of like we have set up a conference call so that we can all speak and listen to each other.
Consultations can assist you and your animal companions for a variety of situations such as: health issues, moving to a new home, bringing a new family member (animal or human) into your home, household harmony, behavior problems, an animal is nearing their transition time, you are interested in their perspective on your life path and how they work with you, or you simply want to better understand your companions and form a deeper relationship with them.
It is always my intention to assist you and your companion to deepen your relationship, no matter what the initial reason for your call. Although I do use psychic abilities to hear your animals telepathically, I do not consider my consultations to be a psychic reading. It is more like a visit with your animal friends to a counselor who can help you both to hear each other better. I will be a neutral party who assists you and your friend to clearly understand each other. I will recommend possible solutions, compromises, dietary supplements, flower essences, energy healing, etc. when I feel they might be helpful. But, always it is up to you and your companion to decide what works for you and to implement the necessary changes to get the results you both desire.
How Could A Consultation Be Helpful?
If you are calling about a health issue I can assist you and your veterinarian by finding out how your companion feels, where he/she hurts, specific descriptions about the pain or discomfort, etc. I can also scan your animal's body to pick up energy blocks, organ weakness, and potential physical problems. I cannot diagnose disease and my services cannot take the place of veterinary care. If your animal is ill or injured, please visit your veterinarian.
If your animal is terminally ill and dying I can help you understand how they are feeling, what they need to be comfortable, what kind of medical intervention they are willing to receive, if they want assistance (euthanasia) in their death. This is a very sacred time in your companion's life and in your relationship. It is never an easy time, but it is a blessing to be close to your friend and to be able to be there for them and assist them in any way you can. If I have worked with you and your animal companion during their lifetime, I can connect with them after they have left their body to find out how they are doing, where they are, what they experienced during their transition, and other questions you may have. If I have not worked with you and your animal companions before and you want to contact your deceased animal, check the animal communicator listings at to find a communicator who specializes in this area.
If you are calling about a behavior problem I can help you and your companion to clearly understand each other's feelings about your particular issue. I can explain to your animal why you are upset by their behavior and how you would like them to behave. I can help uncover the root cause for your companion's behavior and work to find a solution that will facilitate change. Behavior problems can be deeply entrenched and take time and patience to correct. It may very often require changes on your part and/or additional training. Animal communication cannot take the place of proper training. In other words, I cannot make your dog come when you call but I can tell you the reason they don't obey--i.e. They are not paying attention; they don't understand what you want; they are willful and want to do things their way, etc.--and this can help you correct the problem with proper training.
If you are moving or bringing another family member into your home I can explain to your animal what is happening and find out what they will need to be comfortable with the upcoming changes. If there is a problem with household harmony I can help you identify the root of the problem and discover ways to ease the stress and develop healthy relationships.
Your animal companions may know you better than anyone else in your life. They very often have clear insight into your career, your relationships, your personal choices, your health and well-being. I have many clients whose animals act as their spiritual guide. These animals can give very clear and concise information on practically any subject you would want to ask them. Your animal companion may also have a great deal of knowledge on topics that you are interested in like healing, energy, reincarnation, souls and soul mates, planetary evolution, etc. There are no limits to what you can ask.
I do not work with lost or missing animals. If your companion is lost, you can go to Penelope Smith's website and check out her list of qualified Animal Communicators to find someone who specializes in this field.
What About Fees and Things
$80.00 for up to 45 minutes
All consultations are done by appointment over the telephone. You can make an appointment by calling (919) 742-5929. (I can only talk to your animals so please don't make an appointment to talk to your sister's animal, your mother's animal, your friend's animal, an animal who used to live with you but now lives elsewhere, etc.)
The fee for a consultation is $80 and you are allotted up to 45 minutes. You can give your MasterCard or Visa number when you make your appointment (it will not be billed until the day of the appointment) or mail your check or money order to arrive at least one day before your appointment time. If you check is not received in time, your appointment may be cancelled and we will call to reschedule it after we receive it. Checks should be made payable to Hummingbird Farm and mailed to P. O. Box 1603, Pittsboro, NC 27312.
As I reserve this time exclusively for you, you will need to call and cancel your appointment if you cannot keep it. I require 24 hours notice unless you have an emergency that keeps you from calling. If you miss your appointment without canceling, you will be billed for the full amount.
As my commitment is to assist you to have a deeper connection with your friends, the maximum number of animals I can talk to in one session is four. If you have more than one animal I recommend that you prioritize and address your main concerns first. If you have a major problem (an animal is very ill or a behavior problem is upsetting your household) focus your time and attention on that one animal. In most households animals understand when there is a concern that needs to be addressed and they don't get upset if they don't all get to speak.
Okay, I've Made My Appointment, What Can I Expect?
Please prepare for your appointment by getting clear on what you need and having questions ready to ask your animal. Your animal has not been sitting around just waiting for you to call me and ask them what they want to tell you and they may not be at all focused on what you are interested in discovering. You are responsible for guiding your consultation with your questions. Your animals see things differently than you do so clarity on your part is important. For instance, you may ask, "How are you?" and your animal will reply "Fine." Animals will say they are fine even when they are dying, because on most levels they actually are fine. So, if you want specifics, ask specific questions, i.e. ask why they are limping, or why they aren’t eating, etc.
On the day of your appointment, you will call me on my consultation line. (I will give you this phone number when you make your appointment. Please do not call this number except for your appointment time.) You are welcome to tape our conversation and it is fine to have another family member on the extension phone.
I do not need a photograph of your animal (though you are welcome to send one if you want to) and it is not necessary that your animal is right next to you. If you are with your companion, they may or may not act like they are paying attention. I have had animals come up to the phone to see what is going on and animals that leave the room and start playing with a ball. What they are physically doing most often has no bearing on our conversation.
I will ask you some basic questions about your companion: breed, physical description, size, age, how long you have been together, and what you are calling about. I then may want to know about other members of your household, medications your companion is taking, a description of your behavior problems and how and when they occur, etc. My ability to comprehend your situation and put your animal's feelings into context is greatly increased when you give me clear, concise and specific information about your health or behavior problem. Then I can get your companion's viewpoint (which might be quite different than you think it will be) fill in the details that you may not be aware of, and assist you to an understanding of each other. While you are giving me this initial information, I will begin to feel your animal companion's presence and energy.
I will take a few seconds of quiet time to make sure I am tuned in to your animal and then will begin to give you the information you are seeking. We now have a 3-way conversation going on. You can ask questions and I will give you your companion's reply. You can comment on the reply and get a comment back. You can negotiate terms for settlement of a problem. I may offer suggestions to assist you to a resolution of your problem. Please know that these are only suggestions and always, it is up to you to make decisions for you and your companion. All consultations are private and confidential, and I will be neutral and non-judgmental, so you can feel free to open up with your companion and talk about whatever you want to.
Please keep an open mind, whether you are skeptical or not, and let things unfold for you. You made this appointment because you wanted to experience something wonderful with your companion. If you are open to that experience you will most likely have it.
There is nothing further you need to do to facilitate this connection. Just relax, be open and ask your questions. There are no right or wrong questions to ask; it is okay to ask anything you want. It is possible that your animal may not wish to answer certain questions, and that is okay too. This is your conversation with your beloved friend, relax and enjoy it!
How Do You Do That?
Telepathy is our most basic and natural form of communication. It is the language of feelings. I am able to tune-in to your companion in the same way one might tune a radio dial to a certain station. I have no idea how it works (I don't know how you can get a phone call in your car either) but I know that it does. We are all energetic beings, sending out our signals to each other all the time. Telepathy simply requires tuning in to a specific signal. I can receive the signal of your animal companion because you are intimately involved with that animal so their energy or vibration comes through you.
I receive information from your companion in a variety of ways. Sometimes I hear actual words; sometimes I get visual images or sights or sounds; sometimes I get what I call direct knowing, which can be a lot of information that comes in all at once and then can take several minutes (to years) to translate and explain; most often I get feelings and translate them into words. I attempt to be as accurate as possible in my translation and often if I choose the wrong word, the animal will correct me. Telepathy is not an exact science and the only way to really know whether my translation is accurate is by how you feel when you hear it, or how your relationship with your companion changes, or how your companion's behavior changes. Conversations in words with our human friends and loved ones are not exact either and can often be misinterpreted. Only the understandings we gain and the deepening of our relationships can gauge the success of any conversation, whether it is verbal or telepathic.
Animal Communicators do not all work the same way. Some of them will get the details about your animal companion and what your questions are and then do their tuning in while you are off the phone. They will then call you back with your animal's replies. Some communicators will only work with you and your companion in person. Some communicators only work in writing. Some communicators want a lot of pre-information and some want no information. The techniques by which we receive and translate information are varied and all are valid.
Telepathy is a wonderful tool and we all have the ability to use it. If you want to learn how to communicate with your own animal companions, consider taking a workshop to help you reawaken your own abilities. Go to the workshop section and see what is available.
How A Mentoring Session Can Help Fine-Tune Your Telepathic Abilities
If you have already taken Animal Communication classes and are working on your own communication abilities, I offer mentoring sessions by telephone for the same fee as a consultation appointment ($80.00 for 45 minutes) to help you hone your skills.
You may wish to have confirmation on the information you are getting from animals; help in translating the information; you may need a practice session or a ritual to assist you to expand your perception; a safe place to air your doubts and fears and to receive the support you need to go deeper into your connection with all of life. All mentoring sessions are custom designed for you and by you to meet your specific needs. A mentoring session can really give you a boost and increase your skills tremendously.
Warning: Animal Communication Can Change Your Life!
When you open your heart to converse with your animal companions something wonderful happens: you begin to realize that "We are all One" is not just a saying, it is true. Your deep connection to everything and everyone begins to enter your awareness and your perspective on life will change. You begin to realize that what you think and do does matter, that your feelings and intentions are perceived by others all the time, that you are not alone or separate, that you are not above or below other species or even members of your own species.
These realizations are incredibly wonderful and can also be challenging. With your increase in awareness comes an increase in responsibility and this begins to change the world--your inner world and the outer world you live in. Open your heart, allow your life to change, take responsibility as a member of the huge family of life on this planet, allow it all to flow through you and wake up the world. You will laugh a deeper laugh and cry deeper tears and you will feel more alive than you ever felt possible.
Testimonials
I was drawn to Tera's work from the moment I saw her brochure. Initially I contacted her for a consultation with my two dogs and cat about a long trip I planned to Peru. I wanted to be sure they understood why I needed to go and that I would be coming back soon. Her ability to tune in to their energies, personalities, health, and interactions in our family was completely accurate and astounding to me. She helped me to see their wisdom and gain understanding beyond anything I had imagined.
– Robin Mayberry, Greensboro, NC
Tera's consultations have helped calm my worries when I wasn't finding answers to issues with my cats, Spanky and Oscar Wilde. Through these consultations both my cats and I found it easy to heal and live more harmoniously and healthy. Thanks Tera!
--Jan Bettencourt, Waltham Massachusetts
I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Tera! Through her, I have found that the inner lives of my cats are much richer than I ever imagined. Knowing this has made our feline and human family even more closely knit. Tera has the gift of tapping into their thoughts, and communicates them to me in a very loving--and fun--way. Two years ago we had a new addition (number three!) to our cat family. She was a nervous stray who had problems fitting in with the other cats, to the point that we were thinking of finding another home for her. Talking with her through Tera made everyone a lot more comfortable--and she is now a loved member of our household. I love speaking with Tera and my cats! --Lisa Gontarski, Apex, North Carolina
