Understanding the Practice

What is animal communication?

"It's not about what I tell you your animal is thinking.
It's about helping you feel closer to them."

Animal communication is a practice of tuning in to the world of your animal — their feelings, experiences, and perspective — in order to build a deeper, more meaningful relationship with them. For animals who are naturally quiet, sensitive, or often misunderstood, this kind of attentive listening can be especially illuminating.

It's not magic, and it doesn't require you to believe anything outside your own experience. It's a compassionate process that works alongside the bond you already share with your animal.

Through a session with Renee, you can explore what your animal may be experiencing — whether that's about their physical wellbeing, emotional needs, a change in the household, a behaviour concern, or simply a wish to feel more understood.

Many clients describe their sessions as quietly profound. Not because of anything dramatic, but because they finally feel like they've had a real conversation with their animal — and they've been heard, too.

Who I help

🐾

You want a deeper connection

You love your animal and simply want to understand them better — their personality, their world, and what makes them feel loved and secure.

💬

You're navigating behaviour concerns

Your animal is showing behaviour that puzzles or worries you. You want to explore what might be driving it — from your animal's perspective.

🌈

You're facing end of life

Your animal is unwell, aging, or approaching the end of their life. You want to understand their experience and ensure their final time is full of peace and love.

🕊️

You're grieving a beloved animal

You've lost an animal companion and are seeking some sense of peace, closure, or connection. A passed animal session offers a gentle space for that.

🔄

Life is changing

Moving house, welcoming a new baby, introducing another animal, or going through personal change — you want to include your animal in that conversation.

🐇

You have a rabbit, guinea pig, or small animal

Rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and other sensitive or prey animals are a particular speciality. These are animals whose quiet natures can make them easy to misread — and whose inner lives are richer than most people realise.

Real Experiences

What clients say

★★★★★

"I am so glad I had this session with Renee. I went to the vet to get his dental check, and he is indeed experiencing discomfort around his back mouth (his further back left teeth) which required a proper check-up. I am so grateful we were able to find out early so Baz could get his treatment."

★★★★★

"Renee did a reading for me on my heart dog who I lost and still grieve every day. I wanted to know that my girl was safe... The images Renee described gave me immense comfort and relief because they described exactly the situation I had hoped for without me having to say anything. It gave me a real sense of peace."

Cassie the Australian Shepherd

★★★★★

"Renee's reading was so intuitive, gentle, and compassionate. When she was able to describe a specific dirt trail amongst thin trees — a special place where my dog and I always frequented to wind down, I was blown away. She had no prior knowledge of my dog or his behaviours, and the images she described gave me immense comfort, warmth, and a real sense of peace."

About Renee

A lifetime of listening to animals.

Long before I offered animal communication sessions, I was simply someone who loved animals deeply and showed up for them with everything I had.

Through years of running The Pampered Bun — a rabbit-focused pet sitting and grooming business — educating families on rabbit welfare, and working hands-on with animals every day, I developed a way of being with animals that went beyond the practical.

I learned to listen. Really listen. I found myself especially drawn to the animals the world tends to overlook — the quiet ones, the watchful ones, the prey animals whose emotional depth is so rarely acknowledged. Animal communication became a natural, gradual extension of a connection I had been cultivating my whole life — not a departure from it.

Common Questions

Questions you might have

No. Animal communication sessions are conducted remotely, using your animal's name and a photograph as a connection point. Your animal can be anywhere — at home resting, at the vet, or even no longer living. Distance does not limit the depth of connection.
That's completely okay — and honestly, scepticism is welcome here. You don't need to believe anything in advance. All I ask is that you come with an open heart and a genuine love for your animal. The session will offer what it offers, and you're free to take what resonates and leave what doesn't.
Yes. Rainbow Bridge sessions are one of the most meaningful things I offer. Grief over an animal is real and profound. These sessions are held gently, with great care for both you and your beloved companion.
No — and I would never suggest it should. Animal communication is a complementary practice that works best alongside appropriate professional care. If your animal has health or serious behavioural concerns, please always consult your vet or a certified behaviourist first. This work sits beside that care, not instead of it.

Renee's Story

This work chose me
long before I knew what to call it.

I have been showing up for animals my entire life. Not because it was a career decision, but because it was simply who I was. Animals spoke a language I understood from a very young age — and I always wanted to speak it back.

For years, I channelled that connection into practical care. I worked with rabbits — a species that so many people misunderstand — educating families on their needs, providing welfare-focused pet sitting, and offering grooming through The Pampered Bun. I became known as someone who could calm the animals that others struggled to handle, who could read their moods, anticipate their needs, and advocate for their wellbeing.

But alongside the practical work, something quieter was always happening. I noticed that the more I was with an animal, the more I could sense what they needed — not just physically, but emotionally. Their feelings, their worries, their joys.

Animal communication was the name I eventually found for what I had always been doing. Formalising the practice was simply an honouring of a gift I'd been using my whole life.

I offer these sessions from a place of deep respect — both for the animals themselves and for the people who love them. I know how profound the human-animal bond is. I know how much it matters. And I know that the animals in your life feel that love too.

"Every animal has an inner life that deserves to be understood. My work is simply to help make that possible."

My journey with animals

Early
Years

A lifelong bond begins

Animals were always central to my life. Growing up with an instinctive sense for their wellbeing, I gravitated naturally toward their care.

The
Bun Era

Founding The Pampered Bun

I established The Pampered Bun — a rabbit-focused pet care business offering sitting, grooming, and welfare education. Rabbits became my specialty and my passion.

Expanding
Care

Welfare education & grooming

I expanded into rabbit and guinea pig grooming and welfare support — working with families to give their small animals the quality of life they deserved.

A Natural
Step

Formalising animal communication

After years of intuitive connection with animals in my care, I formalised the practice I had always been doing — and began offering communication sessions to animal lovers.

What I Believe

The values I bring to every session

🌿

Animal welfare first

Every session begins with deep respect for your animal — their comfort, their dignity, and their experience. This is always the foundation.

💛

Honesty over comfort

I share what I receive honestly, even if it's unexpected. I would rather give you something real and surprising than something vague and easy.

🤝

No judgement

Whatever you're carrying — grief, confusion, guilt, fear — there is no judgement here. You came because you love your animal. That's everything.

🐾

Practical grounding

With years of hands-on animal experience, I bring a practical lens to every session — one rooted in reality, not performance.

🕊️

Gentleness with grief

Grief for an animal is real, profound, and often unseen by the world. I hold that grief with the tenderness it deserves.

Integrity in practice

I will never make promises I can't keep or give you what isn't there. Honest, caring, integrity-led practice — always.

Ready to begin?

Every session is held with care, honesty, and deep respect for the bond you share with your animal.

Session Options

Sessions designed
for your journey.

Each session is carefully tailored. Whether your animal is with you, navigating end of life, or has already passed — there is a space here for you both.

Grief for an animal is one of the most real and often unseen forms of loss.

  • Personalised audio recording — hear Renee share the session in her own voice
  • Written session summary with care and sensitivity
  • Messages, impressions, and feelings received

The Wellness Compass

What is your animal trying to draw your attention to?

Sometimes we know something isn't quite right. Perhaps your animal's behaviour has changed. Perhaps they've been struggling with an ongoing health concern. Perhaps the veterinary tests are inconclusive, but you still feel there is something more beneath the surface.

The Wellness Compass is a specialised session designed to explore what your animal may be drawing attention to physically, emotionally, and energetically — combining animal communication with a focused exploration of their wellbeing.

This session may be helpful if:

  • Your animal has ongoing or unexplained symptoms
  • You have concerns about their physical wellbeing
  • Their behaviour has recently changed
  • They are recovering from illness or surgery
  • They have a chronic health condition or are entering their senior years
  • You feel something is "off" but cannot pinpoint why
  • You are seeking additional insight alongside veterinary care

What you'll receive:

  • A detailed written summary and answers to your submitted questions
  • Personalised audio recording — hear Renee share the session in her own voice
  • Insights into areas they may be drawing attention to physically and emotionally
  • Behavioural patterns, environmental stressors, and energetic influences
  • Areas that may benefit from further observation or veterinary investigation
  • Private Dropbox folder with all session resources

Important: The Wellness Compass is not a diagnostic service and does not replace veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Its purpose is to provide additional insight and support, helping you better understand your animal and identify areas that may warrant further professional investigation. I will always encourage appropriate veterinary care whenever concerns about an animal's health arise.

Once you submit your booking request, a secure Stripe invoice will be emailed to you. Please note that payment must be received to confirm your spot, as unpaid sessions are subject to cancellation. If you have any questions or need assistance, you are always welcome to reach out.

A note before you book

Animal communication is a heartfelt, intuitive practice. While I approach every session with full commitment and care, results can vary. I always share what I receive honestly — and sometimes the most meaningful insights are the quiet ones that take time to land.

These sessions are not a substitute for veterinary or behavioural care. If your animal is unwell or showing serious behavioural concerns, please seek appropriate professional support first. These sessions work best alongside that care.

Not sure which session
is right for you?

Reach out and I'll help you choose. Every animal's situation is unique, and I want your session to be exactly what you need.

★★★★★

"Renee did a reading on a dog that I care deeply for but have questions about. I had insecurities about how best to fulfil her needs and anxiety about the bond and trust between us. Renee was able to tap into my dog's energy and described her essence perfectly. She described a scene which was incredibly accurate. From this reading, I gained important clarity... This has given me comfort and more confidence in how to move forward."

"The reading gave me so much peace that they are indeed happy and feeling safe with me! It definitely gave me peace of mind knowing that they are feeling safe in our care and that they both want to stay with me! I love how it made me feel that Milo forgot her past — I am so relieved knowing that! The vibe gave me so much peace of mind because it looks like they trust me and they protect me."

"Without knowing him, Renee was immediately able to tell why he was anxious and mentioned a swollen right side, which is where he had a tumour that he passed away from. Telling me that Baldr was happy with me gave me a deep sense of peace that I feel I needed since his passing."

Common Questions

Your questions,
answered.

Curiosity is welcome here. There are no wrong questions when it comes to understanding and connecting with your animal.

Animal communication is the practice of intuitively connecting with an animal's inner experience — their feelings, perspectives, and what they most want understood. It's a complementary practice that works alongside the bond you already share with your animal, offering insight and understanding from their point of view. It is not a performance or a trick. It is a sincere, heart-led practice offered with complete respect for both the animal and their person.
Using your animal's name and a photograph as a focal point, Renee enters a state of calm, focused attention and tunes in to the energy and experience of your animal. Impressions, feelings, images, and messages come through — which Renee then translates into a written summary for you. The session doesn't require your animal to do anything differently. It can happen while they sleep, play, or simply go about their day. I don't hold live Zoom calls, allowing you to receive and process all of your animal's information in your own space, in your own time.
Before a session, you'll complete a simple intake form that asks for your animal's name, species, age, a recent photograph, and any specific questions or areas you'd like to explore. You don't need to give me extensive background — often, less is more, as it allows what comes through in the session to stand on its own.
No. Sessions are conducted remotely. Your animal can be anywhere — at home resting, at the vet, out in the field, or even no longer living. Distance doesn't affect the connection. All I need is a clear photograph and your animal's name.
Absolutely. Rainbow Bridge sessions are offered with deep compassion for both you and your animal. Grief for a beloved animal is profound and real — and these sessions are held with the tenderness that deserves. There is no timeline for grief. Whether your animal passed recently or years ago, a session can still be meaningful.
I only share what I genuinely receive — never what I think you want to hear. Occasionally a session yields less than others, and if that happens, I will be honest with you. I will never fabricate or embellish. In practice, something always comes through — though the depth and specificity can vary. I ask that you approach your session with an open heart rather than specific expectations, which often allows the most meaningful things to emerge. Sometimes 'nothing' coming through is actually a form of communication itself — showing that your animal is currently resting, content, or simply enjoying some quiet space.
No — and I would never suggest it should. Animal communication is a complementary practice that works best alongside appropriate professional care. If your animal has health concerns, physical symptoms, or serious behavioural issues, please always consult your vet or a certified behaviourist first. These sessions sit beside that care, not in place of it.

I don't hold live Zoom calls, allowing you to receive and process all of your animal's information in your own space and time. Everything from your reading will be uploaded directly to your private Dropbox folder to keep forever.

You can ask about almost anything — how your animal feels about their daily life, their health and comfort, a change in your household, a behaviour you've been puzzling over, what they most need from you, or what they want you to know. For passed animals, you can ask about their experience of passing, whether they felt loved, messages they may have for you, and questions around your own grief.
Welcome. Scepticism is completely fine. I don't ask you to believe anything before or during a session — only to come with a genuine love for your animal and a willingness to receive what's offered. Many of my most meaningful sessions have been with people who weren't sure they believed in this at all. The work doesn't require faith — just openness.
Renee works on each session with focused care and delivers your written summary within 7–14 business days of receiving your intake form and payment. Follow-up sessions are typically delivered within 3–5 days.
Yes. Sessions are available for dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, reptiles, and any other animal companion. With particular expertise in rabbits and small animals through The Pampered Bun, Renee brings unique depth to these often-overlooked species — but works with all animals with equal care and commitment.
Simply complete the intake form honestly and thoughtfully. Share a clear, recent photograph of your animal. Take a moment to reflect on what you most want to understand or receive from the session — and then let go of how you think it should look. The sessions that deliver the most tend to be the ones where people arrive with a genuine question and an open heart, rather than a fixed expectation.

Still have a question? I'd love to hear from you.
