Meet Dawn, a gifted animal communicator and healer who bridges the connection between humans and animals through her remarkable work in animal communication, shamanic healing, and Reiki. Based in the Chicago and Northwest Indiana area, Dawn also works with clients globally via phone, offering insights and healing for both individuals and their beloved pets. Her journey began in 2005 when her own challenges with a pet led her to discover and develop her innate ability to communicate with animals, which she now uses to help countless clients better understand their furry, scaly, and feathered companions.

Dawn’s impressive background includes her internationally recognized work with hedgehogs, where she authored The Happy, Healthy Hedgehog and trained veterinarians in their care. She has written extensively on exotic pets and has been invited to speak at conferences, including the Wildlife Exotic and Zoo Animal Medicine Club (WEZAM) at the University of Wisconsin. Beyond her work with animals, Dawn offers courses on Reiki, shamanic practices, drum making, and green living. At her mini-farm, which she shares with her husband Bob, their rescue dog Abbee, and a pair of hedgehogs named Mira and Marty, Dawn continues to nurture her passion for nature, healing, and fostering deep connections with the world around us.
