About Kathleen
I’ve loved animals my whole life — not just in the way most people do, but in that quiet, deeply felt way where you sense what they’re feeling before they show it.
That connection has shaped everything I do.
For a time, though, I learned to set that way of knowing aside.
Like many highly intelligent, sensitive people, I was trained to value logic, analysis, and verbal understanding — skills that are useful, but incomplete. Over time, I became very good at thinking my way through life, and much less practiced at listening to forms of intelligence that don’t speak in words.
I work with sensitive animal lovers — Animal Empaths — who feel deeply, intuitively sense the world around them, and often carry more than their share of emotional weight.
Through intuitive guidance and animal messages, I offer a supportive sanctuary where they can reconnect with their inner wisdom, restore balance, and find clarity, purpose, and peace of mind.
My professional healing work began over 20 years ago when I attended healing arts school and studied Mind-Body Wellness. It was there that I was reintroduced to something I had always known but learned to override: the wisdom of the heart and body.
In healing arts school, we often said, “Get out of your head and into your heart.” That teaching quietly changed the course of my life.
I later trained in transformational life coaching and clinical hypnotherapy, building what I often call my healer’s toolbox — a blend of practical tools and intuitive awareness.
Mustang Mindset was born later, inspired by a rescued horse named Happy Feet.
I adopted Happy Feet in his early twenties from a rescue — a little sore, a little tired, but with the sweetest heart.
We came together at the beginning of COVID, a time that invited deep listening and presence. It was then that I began formally integrating Equine Sports Massage, Pranic Energy Healing, and Animal Communication, creating a mind–body–“sole” approach to horse care.
For three years, I cared for Happy Feet through chronic laminitis — tending to his aching feet with Epsom salt poultices, hoof soaks, massage, energy work, and steady, loving presence. He became one of my greatest teachers.
From him, I learned that healing isn’t always about fixing. Sometimes, it’s about witnessing, listening, and simply being there. Happy Feet didn’t teach me something new — he helped me remember how to listen beyond logic.
That wisdom now guides everything I offer.
Over time, my work evolved in a way that felt both unexpected and deeply consistent. Again and again, the animals made it clear that their well-being was intimately connected to the emotional state of the humans who loved them.
While animals offered insight and wisdom, lasting change happened when their people were supported, seen, and given space to reconnect with themselves.
Today, my work centers on supporting Animal Empaths through animal-guided insight, intuitive understanding, and relational healing.
This includes:
-
1:1 Animal–Human Insight Sessions, where animals share guidance around behavior, life transitions, and questions of meaning, grief, or peace of mind
-
The Mustang Path, a 1:1 guidance journey for those seeking deeper clarity, integration, and alignment in their own lives
-
Reflections and teachings shared through The Animal Empath Journal and the Animal Angel Academy, where animal wisdom offers perspective, reassurance, and gentle invitations for growth
Animal wisdom is woven through all of my work — not as a way to fix or control, but as a way of restoring a kind of listening many of us were trained to outgrow.
Whether through private sessions, longer-term guidance, or the written word, my work honors the sensitivity of animal lovers and supports a return to intuition — with animals as trusted guides back to the intelligence of the heart.
If you’re feeling uncertain, tender, or at a crossroads — with your animal or within yourself — I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
