Today we’d like to introduce you to Meredith Whitney.
Hi Meredith, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I grew up in Southern California and have always been an animal lover. I have had several dogs, a bird, a cat, and a few horses growing up. I was an avid equestrian from the age of 11 years old. I rode at a hunter-jumper show barn and competed in many horse shows as a teen. After my teenage years, I was a groom on the horse show circuit for a while until I decided to go back to college for graphic design, graduated after nine months, and started my career in graphic design.
As a child, animals were my confidants, my best friends. Even though I was psychic and communicated with animals as a child, as an adult, I had shut my abilities off. In 2003, I rediscovered my ability to communicate with animals and spirits during a time when I owned and operated a pet-sitting and dog-walking business. Being able to communicate with animals and spirits is important to me because they have helped me heal throughout my life.
My ability creates a deeper and more respectful understanding between people and their animal companions. The animals need a voice, and I am that voice for them.
I connect with animals that have crossed over into spirit, and I also communicate with the spirits of our human loved ones who have passed on.
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has been a bumpy road since I stepped out of the Spiritual Closet in 2003. For the next three years, I would be going on a journey learning all that I could about psychic mediumship development and animal communication and how I was growing as a person working on issues that I had. I learned very quickly during this time that not everyone believed in animal communication, psychic, or mediumship abilities. I lost some friends and family members when I told them what was happening to me. I was told by my then-husband that I had to go see a psychiatrist and get on medication because I was seeing visions on the wall, seeing visions in my head, hearing voices of animals and spirits in my head, seeing people and animals that had died, and I was feeling other people’s and animal’s emotions and physical pain. I was even told that I wasn’t psychic by some family members. I also had depression and anxiety during this time because I wasn’t happy with myself or my marriage. I was in an abusive marriage, and I needed to get out. In 2006, I asked my then-husband for a divorce because I was headed down a different path than he was and I was embracing who I was becoming: someone who loved helping people and their animals and someone who saw and talked with spirits. I turned professional in 2007 after my divorce was final and started charging for the services that I offered. I built a website, ordered business cards, and started to get the word out. It hasn’t been easy building my business and getting clients in the past. I have had to work hard at growing my business and growing as a human being, whether it be on social media, print marketing, being a vendor at psychic fairs, teaching classes, or sharing my story so that it might help that one person out there who may have been where I was and needed to see that you can make it out of a bad situation and come out the other side and be okay. I was homeless for a year during the pandemic in 2020 living in my mini-SUV or in hotel rooms with my cat, Oreo. I had clients during this time, but not enough to get a room to rent. I kept applying for full-time jobs hoping that I would get an interview and eventually get hired. I had to get on general relief, food stamps, and MediCal. I kept hearing my Spirit team and my grandmothers tell me that I was going to be okay. After a year of looking, I finally found a job at a local mental health hospital in the business office. After that, I was able to save enough money to find a more stable place to live by renting a room from someone near my new job. I continued working my day job and working my business doing readings for clients and teaching animal communication classes for the next three years.
We’ve been impressed with Meredith Whitney-Animl Communicator/Psychic/Medium/Reiki Practioner, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
As an Animal Communicator/Psychic/Medium/Reiki Practioner, I help people have a deeper connection with and an understanding of their
best friends their pets. I connect telepathically with animals and figure out what is going on with them,
behaviorally, emotionally, or physically. I also connect with animals that have crossed over into spirit and also communicate with the spirits of our human loved ones who have passed on.
I specialize in, and I am known for Animal Communication and Mediumship.
To be a great animal communicator, you have to have compassion, an open heart, and an open mind, be empathic, and be genuine and authentic.
What is Animal Communication?
Animal communication is the exchange of thoughts, pictures, feelings, and words between an animal and a person. It is telepathic, which means it is done by using our “sixth sense” or intuitive ability. The animal communicator serves as a translator between you and your animal companion. I read the animals’ energy and interpret it into words so that you can understand your animals’ emotions, physical feelings, and thoughts. Animal Communicators can also conduct a body scan. This is an energetic connection with your animal that provides physical information such as pain that can help you when you go to the veterinarian, but it is not a substitute. This ability is also referred to as being empathic. Other terms sometimes used for this same work include Inter-species Communicator, Inter-Species Cognitive Awareness Specialist, Animal Psychic, Pet Psychic, Telepathic Animal Communicator, and Animal Intuitive.
Benefits of Animal Communication
• Creates a stronger heart bond and a deeper understanding of your pet’s feelings and behaviors.
• Create harmony in your home by resolving relationship issues between different pets in your family.
• Let your companion know when you will be away from home or other changes coming up.
• Help your animal companion by knowing whether or not there is pain and where the pain is.
• Take comfort by connecting with those who have crossed over into Spirit.
What is it like to talk with an animal?
When a connection is made with an animal the information can come in several forms. You might receive pictures, thoughts, emotions, or physical feelings. Each animal communicates a little differently. Some will send pictures but will also send thoughts. Sometimes it sounds as if you are having a conversation with a person, and there will be distinctive traits that come across that define the personality. When animals are very frightened it can be difficult to get good information from them, and understandably so. If the person communicating with the animal is in a heightened emotional state it can also interfere with good reception of the animal’s energy.

Can you talk to us a bit about the role of luck?
Good luck to me means being in the right place at the right time. I have been fortunate in my life that I have walked away from some situations, and I am still here to talk about it. The bad luck in my life and my business has been because I made not-so-smart choices, and I learned the lessons in those choices.
