True Kinship

With Animals

IS…

  • Recognizing animals are more than ‘just an animal’

  • Relating to animals through a new place of understanding

  • Reimagining a new way of being with animals

Beginning your true kinship practice indicates you are growing beyond society’s expectations of how animals ‘should’ be treated and are ready to bring intentionality into your relationship with them.

You are beginning to understand animals’ experiences are their own and don’t need to be validated by humans to be authentic.

It acknowledges humans do not have dominion over animals. It is taking your deep commitment, love and respect for animals and letting those feelings spur you on to meet animals in their agency through your authentic agency.

For 30+ years I have facilitated clear conversations between animals and people, encouraging you to co-create deeper relationship with animals.

I hold space for you as you satisfy your curiosity about your true kinship journey and how it can re-introduce you to your authentic self. I am a helper, a guide, a witness, and a cheerleader as you explore those different pathways, resulting in you showing up more your authentic self for animals.

It is a work I persevere in while at the same time not holding expectations of how it ‘should’ or will evolve.

  • "[Janet] helped me see that I was scared of losing Vi and so I was putting my stories and fears on her...and it was detrimental to our relationship-and her quality of life. Violet wasn't feeling any of that! Once I got that, I shifted. And we started having fun again!"

  • “ Janet was able to connect with Max so easily, and give me not only assurance of Max’s emotional well-being, but also insight into some of his wishes and behaviors. My session with Janet strengthened the bonds of understanding and friendship we have with Max.”

  • "I am fully focused on breathing when with Lily. She seems to like it, but the biggest difference is with her pasture mate, Mia! She does not let us touch her for more than a minute and I have been able to groom her and even work a significant knot out of her mane at liberty! Thank you!"

    Connie and Lily

  • "Janet is down-to-earth, professional, and compassionate, and her respect for the animal as a partner in the conversation set the tone for a very beneficial–and beautiful–experience. Thank you, Janet!"

Why This Message Matters Today

In today’s world we are at a turning point: are we ready to disengage from the colonized practice of claiming dominion over animals? Are weready to uphold practices of community and collaboration with all sentient beings? Isn’t it about time we move from ownership to partnership with them?

True kinship with animals offers a different way to be with animals. It is a service to the world offering a vision and perspective for the future, not one that is marooned in the colonized past and present.

It is about participation, not control or power. It is the open bond forged and tended between different species when each species has the freedom to participate as, if and how they see fit.

At its core is “We all do better when ALL creatures do better.

This book is written to meet the need to dismantle the centuries old paradigm of humans claiming dominion over animals. It offers a renewed way to connect with animals, one based on mutual respect and co-creation, moving us from ownership to partnership. Are you ready?
