My Story

I’ve always felt connected to animals.

Even as a child, I would have conversations with them in my head,
but I didn’t understand what I was experiencing.

A young girl with brown hair, wearing a black top, blue backpack with black polka dots, and a black hair ribbon, smiling against a plain blue background.

I didn’t grow up in an environment that nurtured that connection.

So for a long time, I learned to override what I felt.
Becuase I was taught, “talking to animals is silly.”
To hide that part of myself.
To tuck it away.

Still, something in me never let it go.

At 13, I made a quiet promise to myself:

One day, I would have a space where animals were safe, seen, and truly understood.

A young woman in a formal military uniform with a name tag that reads 'LLEWELLYN' poses for a portrait in front of an American flag backdrop.

The version of me you see now has lived many lives.

At 17, I joined the military to escape my toxic childhood.
At 20, I was deployed to Iraq and served in combat where I met + married my soulmate.

Those years shaped me in ways I’m still unpacking.

All I knew how to do was push through.
How to keep going, no matter what.

And for a long time, that’s how I lived.

By my age 27, my body started speaking in ways I couldn’t ignore.

Chronic pain.
Seizures.
Addiction.
Complex PTSD.

Decades of surviving came at a cost.

It wasn’t until a failed suicide attempt and meeting my biological father, that everything became clear.

I couldn’t keep living that way.

Two soldiers in uniform in the desert with backpacks and caps sitting on the ground against a wall, one reading a book and the other smoking.

The Path That Led Me Here

I left behind the life I had built in survival mode.
I sold my house in the suburbs.
I bought a farm.
I began rescuing animals and traded hustle culture for something quieter and more simple.

I got sober on my own, not through a 12-step program, but by finally learning to listen to myself.

It was during this season that Her Healing Way was born.

At the time, my work focused on trauma recovery.
I walked alongside people as they rebuilt their lives after complex trauma.

And that work mattered.
But over time, something started to shift.
I could feel that the work no longer felt aligned and was keeping people stuck in their trauma.

My attention kept moving somewhere else.
Back to the farm…with my animals.

I became more interested in what happens when we stop trying to “fix” or “heal,” and instead slow down enough to actually feel.

When we begin to trust what’s already underneath the surface.

Human Design & Animal Communication

In 2023, I discovered I’m a 2/4 Sacral Manifesting Generator with a Leo Sun, Pisces Moon, and Sagittarius Rising.

It made so much sense why I process the world the way I do and why I had always been so drawn to quiet spaces. Human Design finally gave me the language and tools to understand my energy and myself.

It helped me trust myself again.
And it opened the door to the intuitive gifts I had been carrying all along.

Soon after, I started hearing my animals and discovered I could communicate with them.

And that changed EVERYTHING for me.

The Day I Remembered I Could Communicate With Animals

A peacock with vibrant blue and green feathers standing on grass near a stream.

I’ll never forget the morning I was cleaning out the coop, and my rescue peacock, Bam Bam, looked at me and said: “Cheerio. Next time you go to town, get blackberries. I’m sick of eating blueberries.”

In a British accent.
It sounds wild.
But it was the moment I realized I wasn’t imagining things.

Shortly after, I intentionally connected with Pepper, our 16 year old Tennessee Walker horse. He telepathically showed me visuals of the life he lived before we adopted him. I could feel the fear. The doubt. The self-sacrifice and exhaustion of always protecting his bonded companion, Sage.

When I told him he didn’t have to protect her anymore, he walked over, rested his head on my shoulder, and let out the deepest sigh and said, “Thank you.”

That’s when I knew I was really communicating with them, and there was no going back.

What This Work Is Now

What began as Her Healing Way evolved into something deeper.

A space you enter.

Devoted to listening.
Presence.
Consent-based partnership between you and your animal.

Where animals are met as sovereign beings.
Where nothing is forced or rushed.

The Sacred Space Between.

Today, my work weaves together:

Animal Communication, Reiki & Human Design.

Everything I offer is rooted in voice, choice, and consent, for both of you.

It creates the foundation where trust can grow.

Listening becomes the medicine.
Partnership becomes the transformation.

And you and your animal begin to meet each other
in a completely different way.

Ongoing Support is a three-session container for guardians who felt something open after their first session and don’t want to rush past it.
Animals often reveal what’s next only after there’s been time to integrate what was shared. This package allows the relationship to unfold naturally, with space between sessions to notice changes, shifts, and new questions as they arise.
Each session continues the same modality you started with, offering grounded support as your animal responds over time.
