Hey, I’m Shay
I’m a certified Animal Intuitive
trained in neuroscience and naturopathic approaches.
After years as a trusted pet sitter, I nurtured the call to help devoted pet parents beyond pet sitting.
Today, I call myself a Soul Pet Guide.

⟡ Why I do what I do
My respect for animals grew into deep admiration once I adopted my first cat, Cloud.
He came into my life during one of its harder chapters, and so did my pet anxiety. Watching him navigate his own health battles while I navigated mine, I started to notice something: we were affecting each other in ways I couldn't explain yet.
That curiosity sent me down a path of learning everything I could. Intuitive development. Somatic work. Energy management. And initially, this helped me stand out during pet sitting visits—timid cats would greet me at the door, much to their human’s surprise.
Soon enough, I accepted the call to become a spiritual bridge for animals and their humans. Because I know what it feels like to love an animal deeply and still wonder: am I doing enough? Does he know?

⟡ I’m a little different cos
In order to truly help a pet thrive, I focus on the guardian as much as the animal.
You are your pet's best advocate. You notice their symptoms, sense their moods, and understand their quirks better than anyone.
But when anxiety, guilt, or self-doubt creep in, it's easy to start projecting instead of partnering with your pet's natural instincts.
Here's what I've seen again and again: when you shift into a state of calm and confidence, your pets settle, soften, and trust you to lead.
That's the medicine I offer. Using body-based, intuitive practices, I help you move from second-guessing to grounded so you can lead your life and your pet from peace, not panic.
And in turn? You feel safe to prioritize yourself too.
⟡ I really believe in
Your pet's behavior is data, and some of it is pointing straight back at you. Not as criticism. As an invitation.
Animals lovingly push their chosen humans to evolve. You are their soul-focus. Your lives intertwine, and in ways big and small, they teach us what it means to love without condition and live without apology.
The body has an innate intelligence to heal when given the right support. So does the bond between you and your pet.
You're not figuring this out alone. You've got me and a furry teacher who's been trying to reach you all along.
I'm here whenever you're ready to listen.
My Cred
Deep gratitude to my spiritual teachers.

“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.”
