Benefits of Learning to Communicate with Animals

  • Enhanced Empathy and Emotional Intelligence

    Research indicates that interactions with animals can facilitate emotional development in children, particularly in terms of empathy. By learning to interpret and respond to an animal's non-verbal cues, children cultivate a heightened sensitivity to emotions—both in animals and humans. This nurtured empathy can be vital for social interactions, relationships, and overall emotional well-being.

  • Boosted Self-confidence and Trust in Intuition

    Successfully communicating with animals and understanding their responses can be incredibly validating for children. It affirms their intuitive abilities, building self-confidence. Trusting their inner voice and intuition is a valuable skill that can be applied in various aspects of life, from decision-making to understanding their feelings and emotions.

  • Connection to Nature and Environmental Awarenestree

    Engaging in animal communication naturally fosters a deeper bond with the natural world. Kids become more attuned to the environment, understanding the intricate web of life and the importance of every creature. This can instill a lifelong passion for conservation, sustainability, and a respect for all living beings.

JoLee Wingerson

For the past 20 years JoLee has been helping people and their pets create more loving, harmonious, supportive relationships through animal communication and healing. As a child, it seemed natural to “just know” what an animal was feeling or thinking. Each summer while visiting her grandparents’ farm in Kansas, she renewed friendships with Susie the dog (and, if I was lucky enough that year, her new puppies), Pepper and Flicka ~ the horses and Daisy the milking cow. Her path following college led her into the financial world for eight years. Then she received a Master’s degree in Journalism and became a free-lance writer. Upon moving to Boulder, CO, in 2000 with her two sweet cats, Nazare and Chloe, she graduated from a clairvoyant school and found that her natural animal communication skills were welcomed in this animal-loving community.

Bella Shing

Coherence Education Co-Founder

For the past 25 years Bella has studied with various shamans, intuitives, and healers from all over the world. One of her favorite learnings has been how to be more in tune with animals and the animistic and elemental forces of nature. Having grown up mostly in cities, Bella didn't have a special ability to communicate with her pets or the animals around her. But through her spiritual journey, she has since had many incredible moments communicating with animals. She first began noticing animals as symbols that would appear around her as there weren't that many available to her in cities and has developed a love of sharing how animal symbols can help to empower us even when we can't access them in our current environment.
