Your session with your animal companion may bring out some things you already know or sense, some new things you didn't know and messages from the heart. Whether it's resolving a behavior problem or connecting with an animal who has passed away, Karen helps you see things from the animal's perspective.
Being open minded and understanding the animal's viewpoint can lead you down the path of improving any situation. Many times animal behavior reflects turmoil within the household. Our animal companions pick up on our energy, thoughts, stress and feelings.
How to prepare before your phone session:
1. Email your photos to this email address admin@karenanderson.net at least 24 hours in advance- please review the instructions below
2. On your appointment day you will call the number in the email notification you received when you scheduled your appt. This is a private number to be used for scheduled appointments only!
Double check your time zone- appts are Pacific Time

3. Think about what your primary goal is with each animal, have your questions ready
4. If you call for your appointment and the line is busy, wait a minute or two and try again. If you can't seem to get through send an email and/or call our office number (509) 999-1887
How to prepare on the day of your session:
Tell your animals out loud or in your mind that you are excited about your upcoming session with them. Take 5-10 minutes before your appointment to relax and clear your mind.
For animals who have passed away, have a photo of them nearby if possible. Let your animals do what they normally do during the session time. You do not need to bring them to the phone.
Have an open mind and leave your expectations behind. It is best not to expect to hear specific things. Animals have their own agenda and may not want to discuss the same thing you do. If a message doesn't make sense right away it may come to you later. Many times clients report back to us weeks or months later when they finally figure out what a certain message means.
What You Should NOT to do
Some tips to follow:
- Don't be overly emotional . Try to be relaxed and calm
- Don't expect a certain response. You'll only be disappointed
- Don't withhold information to test Karen -Nothing worse than a grumpy psychic
- Don't be quick to negate messages. It takes time to understand certain messages and meanings
- Don't sit back during your session and not say a word. Karen encourages you to be a part of the conversation
- Don't continue to ask questions when you know your session time is coming to an end. If Karen has more time to go over your appointment time, you will be advised and you are expected to pay for that extra time at the rate of $5 per minute. Most of the time Karen does not have the ability to go over as sessions are booked back to back with only meditative time between.
Deceased Animals - Connecting with Animals In The Afterlife:
If you have had to say goodbye to an animal friend there are few words to describe the pain, sorrow and emptiness inside. A session with an animal in the Afterlife can bring many messages of love, healing and surprising insight. Although a session is not a cure for grief, clients tell us that they had a greater sense of peace and contentment after their session with their deceased animal.
Karen posts actual stories about Animals in the Afterlife on her
blog. Be sure to check them out and see what amazing messages come through.
There are many different ways to work through your grief and there is no time frame. So if you are hurting and finding it difficult to move on, reach out to one of the many sources available to you via the Internet or locally.

The Bonds of Love Never Die...
Knowing your animals' end of life wishes can help you make the most difficult decisions just a little bit easier. Karen can find out if your animal wants to transition (pass away) on their own, or if they would like assistance from you and your veterinarian. Every animal is different and their answers may surprise you.
You make the difference....
The difference between a good session and an outstanding session with an animal communicator or psychic can be the little things you do to prepare yourself and the animals for the event.
The most frustrating and saddest moments occur when the animals send a message and their human 'blocks' it or 'negates' it. Some of the greatest challenges have been overcome when the humans are willing to listen to their animal's messages, make appropriate changes or modifications in their environment and then follow through with love and consistency.
Behavior Problems Start With You...
How to Improve Your Situation
Change only occurs when YOU change something...
Sometimes our animals get frustrated with us when we don't understand what is going on with them. Many animals show a marked improvement after a session. Clients report back that their animals were much more attentive or they have changed their unwanted behavior immediately, or seemed lighter, or less stressed, etc, after a session. Watch for subtle to extreme changes after your session. Be sure to acknowledge their improvement with positive reinforcement.
Resolving Behavior Problems...
What you do with the information obtained during a session is up to you. Karen can only provide you with their messages, thoughts and feelings. The best results come when clients listen to their animals, make adjustments to their surroundings or needs, and allow the animals to have their own viewpoint. It is important that you remember if you are trying to resolve a behavior problem the real work starts at the end of your call. Your attitude, perspective and willingness to make changes for your animal sets the stage for success.
How long of a session is needed?
Please keep in mind that behavior problems take longer to resolve and require more time than if you are just checking in with your animal. Please plan your session accordingly. You may schedule any length of time you like however 15 minutes is not a realistic amount of time to tackle a behavior problem. Karen recommends at least 30 minutes for one behavior problem.
You must be open to change and willing to change...
Let's face it, there is no magic cure for litter box problems, aggression issues or other common challenges. But knowing your animal's viewpoint and feelings can be enlightening, insightful and bring about the kind of information needed to improve the balance and harmony in your household.
Your Animal's Health Issues & Disclaimer
Any information that is obtained about your animal's health should be taken as informative only. Never substitute veterinary care for information obtained during a session. Many times the information that comes through will not appear on normal check-ups by your vet. Karen does not diagnose or treat animals and has no medical training. She simply offers you the information that comes through so you can understand how your animal feels, what level of pain they have or where they are hurting. This information can help you and your vet determine what step to take next.
Please be specific as to what is ailing your animal. You would never go to your doctor and ask them to 'guess' what is wrong with you. Granted, Karen is not a doctor but please don't expect her to guess either. Illness and injury are a sign of weakness in the animal kingdom and animals do not like to discuss their weaknesses. Knowing ahead of time what the issue is saves your session time so Karen can get right to the problem.
During your phone session...
Your call time begins at the start of your call not when Karen connects with the animals so please be prepared.
You will be able to ask questions throughout the session. The more interactive you are during the session, the more animated your animals will be. The only questions Karen will not ask them are specifics dates of when they will pass away or specific dates they will return to you.
Messages from others
Karen also has the ability to receive messages from your deceased human loved ones, angels and spirit guides. These messages can be clear and immediately recognizable and other times they are fuzzy and difficult to understand. Karen will let you know if she has another energy that is trying to get a message through. Keep in mind that Karen cannot call up a deceased human loved one the same way she can a deceased animal. The deceased humans decide how and when to come through.
Recording Your Session...
The session will be recorded and a link to the downloaded session will be emailed to you and is included in your price. You will receive an MP3 type of link and you will have 7 days to download your session. You can save it to your computer and/or burn a CD recording of it yourself if you so desire. Please note that we offer this as a courtesy to you, we cannot guarantee the recording will work, as many times spirit can play tricks on electronic equipment. There are also some computers that have settings that will not allow the downloads to play.
Please be prepared to take notes during your session or record from your end. Your link will be sent within 24-48 hours unless Karen is traveling then it may take longer. If it has been more than this time you can send an email to us letting us know you haven't received your link. It will ask you to name your file and ask you where you want to save it (ie: my documents, etc) Fill in that info and click save, it should download instantly.
If you have a MAC computer use this converter:

Cancellation and Rescheduling Your Appointment
Cancellation policy: Any session canceled more than 24 hours in advance will receive full refund. Any session canceled less than 24 hours in advance will not be refunded. Emergency sessions and lost animal sessions are non-refundable. You are responsible for canceling or rescheduling your appointment. Simply log onto the online scheduler, view your upcoming appointment and click either CANCEL APPT or RESCHEDULE or send us an email right away.
Once you have initiated the cancellation of more than 24 hours of notice, a refund will be issued to your credit card. Allow 5-10 business days to clear on your end. No charge for rescheduled appointments as long as they are rescheduled more than 24 hours before your original appointment time.
This is why it is so important to have an open mind...
If the messages you receive during your session do not immediately make sense to you give it some time and think about it. Talk it over with family or friends. Many times we forget even the names of loved ones or other obvious information that we forget about until after a session. This is common and a normal experience.
Your open mind will be the key to allowing positive energy and loving messages to flow.
Please remember that psychics and animal communicators are human. We have good days and not-so-good days. If Karen has any difficulty sending or receiving messages for you, please know that your session can be rescheduled for another day or perhaps Karen can connect with the animal privately, (without you on the phone). Sometimes a person's energy can block a good session if they are emotionally upset, worried, tired or skeptical.
One last word about respect. Karen honors and respects you and the animals you ask her to communicate with. She adheres to the 'Code of Ethics' in her work, and will only work for the greater good of the situation. We welcome skeptics and those that are not sure about the process.
Please do not withhold information to test Karen or play 'Stump the Psychic' games. If Karen cannot help you or you are not satisfied in any way, we will refund your payment with no questions asked.
The goal of any consultation, lecture, workshop, or interspecies experience is more communication, balance, compassion, understanding, and communion among all beings. We follow our heart, honoring the spirit and life of all beings as One.
Blessings to you and the animals you share your life with~ Karen Anderson
