Laura –

I had to share with you that Callie has twice now greeted company without any negative reactions. I am so excited! The groomer came to the house last week, and I heard her car pull in the driveway. I had already told Callie she was coming and that everything would be okay. She ran to the door, but did not make a sound. When Jennifer came in the house, Callie did nothing aggressive. She did run and hide because she must not like to get her bath. Then, over the weekend, one of Lisa’s co-workers called to say she was stopping by to drop off some holiday plants. I told Callie she would be here around 12:30 pm and not to be worried or excited. The doorbell rang and Callie ran to the door – again without making a single sound. Only when I grabbed her collar did she get excited. So, I thought about what you told me and realized I needed to let her go. Once I did, she reacted just fine. I opened the door and Callie greeted Jackie with a sniff or two, walked around the porch and then just went inside as if nothing was going on.

Thank you for my new dog. The only problem is that I can not tell enough people about you and the work that you have done. I had two people this weekend ask me for you contact information. One couple are friends of my parents that have 3 standard poodles that they rescued and another gentleman was in line at the grocery store and he overheard me telling the clerk, who also works at our vet’s office, about the transformation of Callie. Please send me the links to your website and the best contact information for me to use when referring someone to you. I still want to get together with you again so Lisa and I can learn to proper communication techniques to use with Callie.

Big Cat Rescue

Laura has been an integral part of our team at Big Cat Rescue since May, 2006.  In that time, she has relayed many things about the 100+ big cats at the sanctuary that no one knew but me.  She told me that a Snow Leopard named Hercules wanted his statue back but had no way of knowing that as a cub (7 years before Laura ever visited), he used to sleep on a concrete statue of a lion in my bedroom.  Only one photo of that unusual behavior existed and it had been in my closet and never displayed.  His statue was promptly returned to him.

Laura has used her communication skills to assist us with so much more critical work as well.  Spaying a big cat is a dangerous endeavor as they will gnaw at the metal staples causing great peril to their health.  The staples come out in 10 days when the sutures have healed enough to hold.  Every day Laura would talk with Sundari and praise her for leaving her staples alone.  Now, Sundari, the leopard proudly shows every guest that walks by her beautiful belly, as if to remind us all that she didn't touch her stitches. 

Recently, two aging Canada Lynx told Laura that they wanted to live together again.  They had been separated, after an awful fight five or six years prior.  Laura had no way to know that they used to live together and no reason to think that a normally solitary animal would want company.  The cats were recently reintroduced, and this was the report from one of our volunteers who witnessed the reunion:

"They were both in their respective enclosures, when all of a sudden Shatia started to walk (with a definite purpose) towards Dances With Wolves' enclosure.  She passed through her new attached area and then into Dances' new area.  She sniffed around and pee'd!  Then, without any hesitation she headed for Dances.  All this time Dances was watching Shatia, completely unperturbed.  Dances did not move (but I did!).  They both looked at each other and walked towards each other, s-l-o-w-l-y (but then again, I've never seen either of them move quickly!) - They rubbed noses!!!  I could not believe my eyes (which were filling with tears).  They didn't make a sound, not a hiss, spit or growl.

The sight of their first encounter will stay with me always.  It was like they were saying "welcome home, friend". -Barbara"

Laura Lassiter is the clearest animal communicator I have ever worked with.  She has the unique ability to totally tune into an animal to hear their thoughts and speak their truths.  Laura is very different from other animal communicators because she works with different modalities which gives a person the total picture of what their animal feels, needs, and wants.  Laura is a very clear and precise communicator and does not have to be in the physical presence of the animal to talk to them. She can tune into an animal anywhere in the world. 

My person experience with Laura is a wonderous one. Once Laura spoke to my animals, they became more relaxed and happy ! And in learning from Laura what my animal's specific needs are, makes for a much happier household for not only my animals, but for myself too.  Anyone who has a session with Laura will not be disappointed, but possibly surprised at how much our animals do know, how they say it, and what they do ask for when they have a person such as Laura that not only can speak to them, but also hear them.

I've had the joy of the companionship of 7 Great Pyrenees over the last 20 years, but my last 2 are so challenging that I was ready to try anything to help them behave. I knew that Savannah's issues were due to situations encountered before I adopted her from the breed rescue group, so discipline was not the answer. Tyrnan's problems seemed to stem from him thinking he was part beaver and determined to eat every piece of furniture that I had.

Nothing seemed to work until I had a visit form Laura. I've never seen my dogs respond to anyone as they did to her. You could almost see the relief from Savannah when she realized she had a forever home and didn't have the anxiety of being alone anymore or fear I would send her away if she had an accident. Tyrnan stopped chewing immediately when Laura pointed out that I didn't care if he chewed up his own toys, just leave the furniture alone!  There has been a great change in Tyrnan and Savannah's behavior.  Both have been calmer as has Rico, my bird. Both of them finally understood where their boundaries lay and were able to let me know what they needed from me. The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said. Laura is the conduit for that communication, and I will be forever grateful for helping my "kids", and I be able to finally hear one another. Thank you for all the incredible help and support you've given me . I truly don't know what I'd do without you. You're such a treasure. Thanks again, Laura.

Anyone who loves their animals should experience the insight into their thoughts and feelings Laura provides. It truly is an amazing gift! We were astonished when our rescued, stray cat Flurry, came right up to Laura, stayed by her the entire time and let her pick him up. He is terrified of strangers and always runs and hides even for hours after they have left. He was very aggressive toward us and our other pets, but after a session with Laura, we gained understanding into his background, and how our behavior toward him was exacerbating the problem. We are giving him more love and he hasn't attacked any of us! Flurry also had an issue with his litter box and as Laura was telling me about it, he came in to demonstrate the problem!  Right on cue.  It was amazing!

Laura tapped into our dog Riley's personality right away. He usually barks nonstop at strangers, but warmed right up to Laura. Sushi, our skinny kitty with the poor appetite, told Laura he hates chicken and only wants fish. Now, he has a voracious appetite. The proof in her ability was in the way our animals responded to her. Her insight has allowed us to improve their environment both physically and emotionally granting them a more enjoyable quality of life, which is the least we can do for all of the endless joy the provide us!

I can’t thank Laura enough for the “peace” she has given my household.  With two dogs and three parrots, my house was a zoo to begin with. However, when my daughter returned home to live, along with her two cats, my little zoo turned into a war zone.  Her Siamese, Grace, was, and I hate to say it, a “psycho kitty,” and would not let anyone hold her.  She would scratch, hiss and bite if anyone tried, including my daughter.  The other kitty, Camille, who had lived with Grace her whole life was traumatized by her to the point she would not come out from under the bed. 

Laura was amazing.  She tuned into Grace and Camille (from another location, no less) and discussed with them the source of all their anxiety.  Grace made it apparent that she wanted to be the “only cat” and was tired of sharing my daughter.  If she couldn’t be the “only cat” with my daughter, she wanted to stay at my home so she could be the “only princess,”… and little Camille just wanted Grace to like her.

When I got home that evening, my daughter was excited.  Apparently, Grace had actually crawled up next to her for a bit of loving.  From that point on, the whole household dynamic changed.  Grace knew she could stay with me, and even though Camille was still in the house, she knew at some point she would once again be the only cat.  Camille was happy that Grace was being nice to her, and often, before my daughter moved out, they’d cuddle together.                                                                        Laura with Joey and Raven

   

Laura was their therapist.  Just giving them someone to talk with, changed all of our lives.  THANK YOU, LAURA!!!!

I recently enrolled in Laura's Animal Communication class. I was so impressed with her abilities to connect with animals that I began to recommend her to everyone. Laura also visited my home and talked with my cats, Mewsic and Summer, who are brother and sister. That was so much fun as Laura told me what they thought of each other and of me. She was able to give me some pointers on how to help Mewsic with some physical issues, help both of them with some anxieties, and recommend some food which they dearly love.

I also had the opportunity to accompany Laura as she worked on a number of my friends' pets, and the information she gleaned about everything from their food being wrong for them, to the unhappiness at losing a pet friend was just so informative. My friends all have a whole different way of looking at and treating their pets, now realizing how these wonderful animals have all the emotions that humans have and are more than just possessions.

I continue to recommend Laura to everyone I meet who could benefit from her expertise. She is certainly a wonderful gift to all of us as she gives voices to our animal friends.

Laura is the real thing! I am a pet sitter and have run into difficult situations with animals. I just didn't know what to do. Laura with her kind, caring and insightful information... with a good dose of humor helped me understand what was going on with these animals and has made me feel like I am a better pet sitter for it. For instance, one dog wouldn't go outside and urinate, and I was getting paid in order for this dog to relieve herself. Within an hour and a half after speaking with Laura, when I visited the dog, she relieved herself. I could hardly believe it!

I have also talked with Laura regarding my own cat. It's so much fun to find out what the animals are saying. I am looking forward to learning and growing more with the help of Laura, and I know these animals are better off also. Its a win/win situation.

As an animal communicator, Laura saved the life of my beloved female Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Sugar Bear. Upon meeting Sugar Bear and communicating with her, Laura discovered she was in the early stages of ovarian cancer with no outward symptoms other than Laura seeing it with her inward vision.

Laura advised me to take Sugar Bear to my veterinarian as soon as possible. I did so immediately and upon examination, Sugar Bear's condition was confirmed by Dr. Benham. Sugar Bear was scheduled for surgery, the cancer was removed, and she made a complete recovery.

Sugar Bear lived for many more years until her death at age 15. I owe the precious additional years I enjoyed with her to Laura and her miraculous abilities and love for animals.

Laura has been helping with my two cats for less than a year, but her accuracy and helpfulness have been amazing since day one.  Both my guys were shelter rescues that were ill and over medicated as kittens.  I cared for them in a preventative, traditional, and eventually, holistic manner, and by age two, they were still not healthy.  Laura knew she was my last hope and was very patient and thorough with us.  First, she accurately described their personalities without having met them. 

What totally blew my mind was when she told me, "They know you like dogs more than cats." I had NEVER said that in my home to anyone because it was true. My dog died, and I was more familiar with caring for dogs than cats. I loved my cats, but didn't understand them well enough. Laura has helped me become a better pet owner.  

She also found a weak kidney in one of my cats and explained how that was related to fear. Energetically, she knew which cat had heat deficiency and which one had excess heat in the kidney meridians.  She explained techniques to remedy that, and they helped. She also explained the correlation between the energy imbalances and the animal’s high-strung personality. Six months later, that cat had physical symptoms of bladder problems and was diagnosed with urinary crystals. 

She has taught me many animals display their owner’s symptoms.  I didn’t fully grasp the depth of that until recently. My stress turned into frequent anxiety, and when I noticed that I developed bladder issues, the light bulb went off in my mind.  After addressing my fears and my anxiety, my physical problems subsided.  I now look to my cats’ behaviors as a litmus test for what is going on in my life.  Laura has shown me that when I take care of myself, my cats directly benefit.

I am an educated and analytical person. I cannot totally explain how Laura does what she does.  I just know it works, and I am grateful for her abilities.  She has reminded me that our beliefs need to expand and elevate.  We are immeasurably lucky she is here.

Thank you so much for the session on Sunday.  I don't think I can ever repay you for what you have done for me and my babies. I cannot tell you how different I feel from before our session yesterday! What an amazing process! I am talking with everyone at home.  Babette is making as much progress as anyone.  Jackson has a real hard time letting go of his anger, but we are working on it.  I spend a lot of time with Madeline telling her all will be okay and that she does not have to fret over me.  Gwendolyn is fine and happy with whatever occurs.  She is definitely a what is is girl!

I am watching your video off your web site now.  I just got this and have scanned over it, and you are so right on target it is not funny.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you so much Laura! We appreciated your visit and have a whole new respect for Twoke.  She already had our love, but I know that I look at her in a whole new way.  I have confidence that she and I can continue to communicate! She is doing wonderful and has been very social. She has never liked my nephew, and I believe that is her angst.  She has been an extremely good girl, and I have been praising her (verbally and mentally), and I believe she really appreciates it! I trust in your advice and am very confident in your abilities.  I will pass the word!

It was my pleasure to meet you!

It was an experience indeed, and I feel a bit wiser for it.  Rebel had a vet appointment this morning, and I told him before hand that was where he was going. He seemed all excited to go. Dixie has seemed more calm the last few days. Thank you for your expertise and insights.  My sister and I really had our eyes opened.

Not too long ago, I had Laura meet my 71/2 year old Doberman "Mike".  He's a healthy dog with an abundance of energy and enthusiasm that never seems to wane.  He's always been a little on the "needy" side and at times whines incessantly.  I wanted to see if Laura could maybe work with Mike and help to ease his anxieties.  She spent an hour with us and described him as if she'd known him his whole life.  She gave me several recommendations and ideas on what I could do to help make him a happier pet.  She also recommended I put him on a Bach Flower remedy which he has been on for about a month now.  I still have half the bottle left to give.  I placed him in agility classes which he truly enjoys, and I've given him various jobs to do which helps to keep his boredom to a minimum.  I have to admit that he's a much happier pet and seems to have very little anxiety left.  I expect that will also fade as he finishes his remedy.  I also feel that we understand one another much better now.  I'm very thankful for Laura and her knowledge of animals. I know she's helped Mike and myself tremendously.

Hi Laura,

Bella seems to be doing much better, and people have even commented on how gentle and quiet she has been. Thank you.  I have been referring you to others.

Just wanted to thank you and send you great blessings... You opened my heart yesterday, and I wanted to just say THANKS.... I hope we can stay in touch and meet someday. My God bless you in your ventures and support all that you are doing.... You're pretty awesome  :) Misty had a little playfulness in her last night, and I relaxed with her. We just played. She loves to be touched so I gave her my cat massage that she loves.... thank u.... 

With Love,

Hi Laura,

Here are some of the changes we have observed concerning Misty:

She is sooooooooooooo much calmer now. She does not hover over or follow Macey like she did after the attack.
She kisses the others multiple times a day, especially Macey.  It is almost like she is apologizing. When she walks into a room, the others don't scatter. When she lies down next to Macey, Macey doesn't move away. She and Macey have been sleeping together lately.  After the attack, if she walked up to Macey, Macey moved to another bed or went into another room.  Also, all four of them have been piling on the beds together in the living room.  She doesn't jump up from a deep sleep and charge towards them (especially Macey.) She comes and goes without the others jumping up or cautiously watching her. Maxwell is not on guard with her much at all now.  He used to watch every move she made. Her tail has been wagging almost non-stop when she is around the others and us. She doesn't seem to want to intimidate them anymore.

I'm sure that I have forgotten something, but as we observe other behavior changes in her and the others, we will let you know. Maxwell is so chilled out lately that it is almost like he knows everything is going to be alright. Poor baby, he has been on 24/7 guard duty for months.  He sleeps so soundly lately that we know he is finally relaxing about things.

What you have done for this family has gone way beyond our expectations and we cannot thank you enough.  We now use time frames as "before Laura" or "after Laura" to refer to the behavior characteristics of the kids.  Hope
you're not offended......

Once again, thank you for sharing your special talent and knowledge with our family, and we will talk to you later.

I want to thank you for all of the insight.  You couldn't be more on target.  What an amazing developed gift you have.  I didn't see Gabby for an entire day after you left.  You indicated that she wouldn't be around.  As I pulled out of the driveway with some concern for her, she comes strolling towards me with another cat.  At that time, I placed a red collar on her neck as you told me she wanted. Without resistance she accepted.  She still has it on with no bother which is something she has never accepted.  The others are doing well.  Harry seems somewhat relaxed, and the girls just hang.  Harry actually knocked both of the girls off of the bed with authority the other night.  That was unusual.  I was proud, and I think he was too and probably thankful that Sugar didn't try to kick his butt.

Thank you once again for the valuable information you have shared.

Jeno's Journey

For the first time in a decade of owning retired racing greyhounds, two of my greys got out our front door quite by accident late on Friday, April 20, 2007. I managed to get one back, but Jeno, my 11 year old timid and extremely "people shy" boy, got spooked when a neighbor let out a laugh just as he was almost back within reach of me. He bolted and was gone in the blackness of the night.  I immediately notified my Florida adoption group since he still had his Florida ID tag on. I searched alone until 3:30AM. Tired and desperate, I came home to post a frantic email for help to the 2 greyhound adoption groups in my area. They were out within two hours (at 5:30AM) of their notification to help begin the search.  About 3000 flyers were posted, contacts by the dozens (schools, Animal Control, City Halls, Police, vets, Firemen, EMT's, postmen....the list is quite long.........EVERYONE we could think of. )

Finally, about mid-week, after endless excruciating hours of searching, my Florida group asked me if I had considered using an animal communicator.  My immediate answer was YES, and that I had already been considering that option seriously.  Within a short time, I was speaking with Laura.  She was incredible. Without knowing anything at all about Jeno or his past, she absolutely nailed not only his personality and history, but also the terrain and area I live in, and the obstacles I was up against, etc.  She was always to the point, telling me immediately that he was still alive and basically uninjured. She was confident and caring and so amazingly accurate in everything she told me, right down to describing specific locations and specific events that would lead to Jeno coming home.  She was always patient with me, and understood my urgency as well as my feelings of panic.

On Thursday evening, six days after Jeno went missing, I found myself in a location that not only had Laura described to me, but one from which I had actually envisioned myself while attempting to find Jeno.  Buildings were correct, right down to the exact color; other structures were correct in shape, size, and height; natural elements were correct; EVERYTHING was exact to Laura's descriptions. While I was at this particular location, my cell phone rang and it was Laura. She told me that Jeno had indeed been in the area, and that he was trying to make his way back home. She had mentioned in an earlier conversation that the number "3" was vital to Jeno's capture, and at that moment, she emphasized the need for him to try and overcome his fear of strangers and trust his instincts that the right person/people would lead him back to me. While I left without Jeno in my arms that night, I spent a very long time talking with Laura, getting more information and encouragement from her.  During the conversation, Jeno told her why he ran away. He was helping me discover my life purpose, and this was a necessary step. After I "got it", Jeno said he was coming home. She told me she felt strongly that he would be home by the end of the weekend, but even more specifically, that Friday would be the day……

 As Friday morning dawned and I proceeded throughout the day, a sense of extreme urgency loomed over me that I could not explain. It got stronger and stronger as the day progressed. At about 1:30 PM, my cell phone rang. It was Animal Control, and the woman on the other end of the line said that someone had spotted Jeno!  After a couple of wrong phone numbers and what seemed like an eternity, we managed to figure out that the call came from our realtor and her two team members!  My husband just "happened" to have taken the day off work, and quickly met up with the three of them and two volunteers who were in the area assisting with the search.  To make a long story short, after one week of traveling the entire perimeter of the city, Jeno was captured!!! Our realtor and her team brought him home!  He was tired and thin, with a couple of worn pads, but otherwise very healthy, just as Laura had stated.

We were extremely fortunate, and I still stare at him in disbelief that he's home and is nearly his old self again, one week and two days after bringing him home.  Many people were involved in Jeno's journey, and Laura was there every step of the way from the moment she became involved. She provided a link to Jeno that no one else had.  I am still amazed at her incredible gift of communication and accuracy.  She was truly one of the many miracles I experienced during the weeklong ordeal of Jeno's absence.  She truly has an amazing gift, and one I will be forever grateful for.

When I look into my dear little doggie’s eyes, I always wonder what is she really thinking?  If I pick her up wrong, and she squeals, what did I do to hurt her?   As a pet sitter, there are very stressful situations that the pet or even the owner doesn’t understand what is going on in those little minds.  Well, I found the answer to all of my questions.  

I met Laura Lassiter through my friend, Brandi.  Brandi and I met at the shelter in Monroe, LA, working with the rescued dogs from Katrina.  The energy we had together was astounding.  As we discussed positive thinking and energy, Laura became our topic of discussion.  I knew I had to meet this animal communicator and really see for myself if I got the positive energy from her.  I must say at first I was overcome with the energy she carried, and I backed up and got a little confused until I needed her for an over an aggressive dog, Callie.  Callie was either going to make me or break me.  She was terrified each time I went to visit her, and I really believed she could have taken my arm off.  By this time, Laura had helped me with several other clients, and I knew I had to get her involved. 

Not only did she help diffuse the situation and get to the bottom of her aggression, I now have a friend for life.  When I visit her now, she runs to me and licks me and is so happy to see me.  Now I know for a fact, Laura can help us when we need her most and don’t understand what our pets are trying to tell us.  And best of all she can help transition sick animals so we don’t have carry the guilt around with us not knowing if they really needed to take their life to the next level.

I had the pleasure of meeting Laura many years ago in an elevator. During the ride down, she shared with me a message from a loved one who had crossed over. I had been carrying around a lot of guilt over this crossing, blaming myself for over 10 years. I will admit that this encounter took me completely by surprise! A week later, I contacted her as it was time to let go of this turmoil buried deep inside myself. Within one session, I was able to release all the grieve and guilt associated with the death of my child. This session was held at my home where I then discovered that my animals, all had something to say to her! I was besides myself thinking, what incredible gifts this woman possesses!

Over the years, I have taken in quite a few rescued animals. Each and every time, I booked a session with her to find out what the animal had been through.Once again, each and ever time, she was able to help them adjust and enabled them (a parrot, dog and cat) to become a loving member of our household. Most recently, I have acquired a horse named Ashford. Over the past few months, he has become unmanageable and very frustrated. Once again, Laura was able to help me understand what was going on with him and why he was displaying this behavior. He even shared with her that thrush was beginning to set into one of his back hoofs.

Laura, I will never be able to thank you enough for all the wonderful ways you have helped me and my pets over the years. Ashford and I both thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Please don't ever stop doing what you do!
