Animals were the first, and have remained the biggest, love of Patty’s
life. In addition to being an Animal Communicator, Patty is also a
Licensed Veterinary Technician and a Certified Equine Sports Massage
Therapist II. This background has proven very helpful, especially when
performing gestalt (a body scan that can provide information regarding
an animal’s health).
Patty grew up on Long Island, NY. There, while still in elementary
school, she started tending to animals through pet-sitting jobs, and
later went on to rehabilitate abandoned and orphaned animals such as
wild rabbits, raccoons, fox, and ducklings, as well as the more usual
cats and dogs. There were also the ‘regular’ animal family members at
home, which at one point topped over 20 animals. Though not fully
aware that there were any psychic communications occurring, Patty
often “just seemed to know” what animals needed, and often had the
“aggressive” dog or the “unsociable” cat approach to greet her.
Patty attended the State University of New York at Farmingdale,
where she majored in Veterinary Technology. During weekends and in
between semesters, she worked at a local veterinary hospital where she
started realizing that she felt ill and anxious each time she arrived
at work. Still not aware at that point just how attuned she was to the
animals, Patty later realized that these feelings were due to being
clairsentient and empathic. After graduating, Patty passed the
state-licensing exam at Cornell University and became a Licensed
Veterinary Technician.
Though accepted to Fordham University to continue her studies,
Patty was unable to at the time and so worked at a park preserve, as
well as a veterinary hospital part-time as a Veterinary Technician.
Some of Patty’s responsibilities as a Vet Tech included assisting with
surgery and treatments, taking and developing radiographs, collecting
specimens and running required tests, as well as assisting during
office visits. Patty’s job at the preserve was equally as interesting
and ran the gamut – from fish propagation at the preserve’s trout
hatchery to operating heavy equipment, leading guided educational
tours, and fighting forest fires on the property’s three thousand
acres. Horses kept on the preserve finally led to Patty’s life long
dream of involvement with them. Every available free moment would find
Patty with the horses – horse-sitting, taking riding lessons, and
riding before and after work hours. She completely immersed herself in
horses, learning all that she could.
After leaving the preserve, Patty and her husband shared the
responsibilities of caretakers of a private island. It was here that
she had her first realized communication with an animal other than a
human. She was riding her beloved horse friend, Molly, when Molly
balked and refused to move any further. Patty explains, “We were out
on a trail we had traveled before, and I could see nothing that would
be upsetting her. So, I just sat there, relaxed, and waited. I
continued looking ahead, when suddenly my vision shifted, and I
started laughing! I was now seeing things from Molly’s perspective,
and it all made sense! I also received the thought “End of earth”
which reinforced this new perspective. Though we had traveled this
trail before, we always took it from the other direction. At the point
that Molly stopped, it looked as though we were about to step off a
cliff – hence, “End of earth”.” Patty later met someone who had known
Molly years before, and informed Patty that Molly had done some
eventing. Eventing includes a phase where horses are ridden
cross-country and jumped over obstacles - some being bank jumps and
drop jumps (where the horses jump onto and/or off of embankments).
This certainly added new light to the ‘End of earth” remark! “This is
an excellent example of how an animal’s past can affect its current
behavior. When an animal is unwilling to do something you request, it
may be due to a past experience you are unaware of,” Patty stated.
When they returned to life on the mainland, Patty furthered her
education in animal health care by attending EquiTouch Systems, Inc.
in Loveland, CO to study Equine Massage Therapy. There, she excelled,
and received certification as an Equine Sports Massage Therapist II.
She returned for Equitouch’s advanced class, and earned certification
in Equine Deep Tissue and Advanced Massage.
Meanwhile, Patty continued to receive communications from the
animals. While massaging a client’s horse, he spoke of “the most
important horse in the barn”, while a kitten told Patty that she was
“going to live with you” – and she has since!
Guidance came in the form of Amelia Kinkade’s book “Straight
From The Horse’s Mouth: How To Talk To Animals And Get Answers”
(Crown Books). Patty attended an animal communication workshop taught
by Amelia, where she came to realize the extent of her skills. At
Amelia’s urging, Patty became a professional Animal Communicator.
Following her training and Miss Kinkade’s endorsement of her
abilities, Patty said, “I feel very fortunate to be able to help
animals convey their thoughts and feelings to their people, as well as
assist people with better understanding their animal friends.” Patty
also had the honor of being featured in Amelia Kinkade’s second book
on animal communication, “The Language of Miracles: A Celebrated
Psychic Teaches You How to Communicate With Animals” (New World
Library).
Patty’s clientele is varied and far-reaching. She has spoken with a
wide variety of animals – dogs, cats, horses, ferrets, rats, mice,
turtles, cattle, goats, birds, iguana, and even fish to name several.
These conversations have been with animals located throughout the
United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and Africa, and even with animals
that have passed on.
When not communicating, massaging, or otherwise attending to her
animal friends, Patty loves spending time hiking, camping, kayaking,
swimming (“I must have been a dolphin in a previous life!”), painting,
drawing, and singing (“If I know the words to a song, I can’t help but
sing it!”). She shares her life, heart and home with her husband (“My
Angel!”), as well as their equine, canine, feline, reptile and rodent
family members.
