A lifelong bond
with animals

Lize looking into a horse’s eyes

My love of animals certainly came from my family. Even as a child, I sometimes felt I understood animals; their expressions seemed to tell me something. We always had a cat at home, and I would talk to the cats and dogs I met on the street.

I was captivated by my grandfather’s stories about horses and his memories of our family’s former horse breeding business. Horses have always held a special place in my heart, and being close to them became a lifelong dream.

When I began riding, I wanted to learn to read my horse’s body language so that we could build a safe, harmonious relationship. I also found myself watching their moods and wanting to understand them more deeply. As I explored how to do this, I discovered Communication With All Life University (CWALU), founded and led by Joan Ranquet, who later became my teacher.

“Communicating with animals is not a special gift bestowed on a select few: it is an ability we all have, like a muscle we have simply forgotten how to use.”

I decided to begin studying animal communication in 2022. What encouraged me most was Ranquet’s belief that communicating with animals is not a special gift bestowed on a select few: it is an ability we all have, like a muscle we have simply forgotten how to use. That idea opened the door to a much wider world in which I could work with all animals, not only horses.

At Communication With All Life University, I first studied the foundations of animal communication and then completed its Animal Communication Certification Program.

Since then, I have taken further workshops at CWALU in Los Angeles, including Advanced Animal Communication, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT Tapping) for Animals, Animal Communication in Sanctuaries, Death, Dying & Beyond: Animals in Transition, and Energy Healing for Animals.

I am continuing my studies at CWALU and practice in EFT Tapping for Animals and Scalar Wave techniques as part of the Energy Healing for Animals Program. I am also enrolled in CWALU’s Teacher Training Program.
