About My Wild Connection

Hi, I’m Valorie and I'm so glad you're here! 

​

I'm an animal communicator, an empath and an intuitive.

​

I can understand what animals are saying and feeling and talk to them. Our conversations are done energetically which is often difficult for people to understand. Have you ever had the experience where you just know something about someone you’re really close to without them telling you? It's sort of like that—kind of like telepathic communication.

​

In my case, the messages I get from animals come to me in a variety of ways: I might physically feel pain where they’re feeling pain; hear words, phrases, or a song; have a deep internal knowing; see images or colors and textures; be drawn to an object or a part of their body; and even feel their emotions as though they are my own.

I’ve been able to understand and talk to animals since I was little. My earliest memory of a conversation was with a German Shepherd puppy who ended up joining our family when I was about 3 years old. The environment I grew up in, however, disapproved of animal communication and I quickly learned to keep my abilities hidden. The older I got, the deeper I buried them--in college, I chose a career that would please my family rather than pursuing my dream of working with animals.

​

In my life outside of work a steady stream of animals showed up, usually coming directly to me for help. I routinely discovered chickens hiding in my back yard lavender bushes. Stray dogs would literally jump into my car when I opened the door to get out or rush into my backyard, seemingly from nowhere, when I opened the gate. For many years a succession of feral cats came to my doorstep and then stuck around, insistent that I care for them and find them homes. There was even a wild rabbit who, despite the feral cats, sat in my driveway each evening, looking up into my dining room window until I went out to say "hi." Friends were puzzled by these occurrences and I kept my deep connection to animals locked away. But there came a point when my own pets seemed to decide it was time for me to embrace my gifts. At the time, I was working as support staff at a large veterinary specialty hospital. As I started to listen deeply and talk to my own animals at home, I began to "just know" where our patients had areas of medical concern and how they felt, both physically and emotionally. Most mystifying was that I also started to hear our patients who had recently passed away and their messages of love and concern for their grieving guardians.

​

I decided I needed to learn more about this Wild Connection I had with animals. I hired a mentor and took all the classes and workshops I could find to further develop my animal communication skills. I honed in on the intersection between my dream: to work with animals, and my values: authenticity, compassion, honesty, and respect. And that lands us right here--at Wildly Connected Animal Communication!

​

I believe that a large part of my purpose is to help the world become a kinder, more connected place. One of the ways I do this is by helping you gain a deeper understanding and connection with your beloved animals, whether they are living or in-spirit.

It is an honor and a privilege to do this work.
