Marcia Pruett Wilson
Marcia Pruett Wilson communicates with animals all over the country. Her desire is to develop a deeper awareness of the special nature of each animal and the depth of their understanding and wisdom. She is interested in closer communication between guardians and their pet companions. She talks with animals on the phone, hears their answers telepathically, and relays their answers to their guardians who can then ask further questions regarding animal behavior problems or their pet companion's feelings.
Marcia is a lifelong physical education, health teacher and recently also study skills. During her years outdoors there were many rescues of dogs, cats and birds which broadened her knowledge of animal behavior. The gift of two parakeets led to her raising seven parakeets, four of which are still with her. Her life has been enriched with the love and companionship of dogs which have included two beagles, a shih tzu, a Lhasa Apso (a lost dog), a Maltese adopted from a shelter and three King Charles. Marcia has been an animal communicator for 15 years. Cell phones are great to use to talk with horses in their stalls
In addition, Marcia's skill as a channel gives her the ability to communicate with the spirits of animals who have passed over. This can bring immeasurable comfort, particularly to those who have had to make a difficult decision on euthanasia. Many times an animal will want to finish something or will express an interest in "going home". Animal thoughts are always interesting, often humorous, very truthful, and sometimes filled with poetic words of wisdom. Communicating with them and explaining how they can help their fears and needs leads to much happier animals and households."
