If you’re caring for a sick or aging pet and you’re starting to feel numb, this post is for you 🦋
While being a pet grief guide does make me emotional, and often sad, it doesn’t bleed into the rest of my day. I don’t carry that heavy emotion out with me. I feel honored to do what I do.
I’ve created personal policies to ensure that I’m able to give my all to each and every client, without being bogged down with emotions that aren’t mine to hold for a prolonged amount of time.
Grief is heavy when you’re the one experiencing it, and it can compound if you’re experiencing it with clients all day every day.
You can (and should) take what you’ve read here and make it your own.
Do protection magic before you “need it”, seriously.
Protection magic is my secret weapon.I’m energetically sensitive.
There’s protection magic scattered all throughout my home.
The four corners of my property are divinely protected. I’ve asked the trees for help in this protection as well, and gave the land offerings when we first moved in.

Whether you’re working with divination or energetically heavy work (or both), protection is something you can’t skip.
The prep is just as important as the regulation that takes place after readings. It’s the same for clients who are stuck with caregiver fatigue.

After my last client of the day, or after particularly heavy sessions, I go play fetch with my dogs. I’m able to stretch, brush the energy off, and get into the “now.”
Don’t underestimate how important cleansing is.
And we’re not just talking white sage and palo santo (those are closed practices, a lot of yall need to STOP using these). Explore open practices, or ones that align with your ancestors.
Make simmer pots. Burn unscented candles. This is about what resonates with you and your family.
So many clients talk about feeling a heaviness that’s stuck in their home or around their bodies.
It’s the same heaviness in the room af
