My Background
Hi, I’m Tatiana August — the heart behind Soulful Animal Connections.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Cal State Fullerton and my Master’s in Social Work from Cal State Northridge, but even after years of academic training, I knew my path was meant to go beyond traditional approaches.
I’ve always felt called to support others on a deeper, more intuitive, and holistic level. That calling guided me into the world of alternative healing, where I discovered the profound impact of BioResonance Therapy. Through this work, I’ve had the honor of helping individuals restore harmony, clarity, and balance—supporting both their emotional and energetic well-being.
My Journey
Along the way, I felt a deep calling to explore energy and spiritual healing on a greater level. Each new step opened a doorway, revealing how much transformation is possible when we align ourselves with universal energy and wisdom.
I became a Reiki practitioner, attuned and trained by the gifted Mary Goodfeathers, a shamanic healer and clan mother. Reiki opened my heart to the gentle yet powerful flow of universal life-force energy, and it was through this practice that I first witnessed the limitless possibilities of energetic healing.
My path then led me to TETHEVA Cosmic Energy Healing, where I trained directly under Master Nihat Hacıfazlıoğlu to become a Master Practitioner. This work expanded my understanding of energy as a living, cosmic intelligence — one that transcends time and space to support deep physical, emotional, and spiritual harmony.
I also became a proud member of the Guild of Energists, recognized as a professional energy healer for animals, which further affirmed my commitment to supporting both people and their animal companions through holistic healing.
My Connection with Animals
Animals have always been the truest part of my soul’s language.
Growing up, I was the child who sat with stray dogs until they trusted me, who gently gathered injured birds in my hands, and who felt the emotions of animals long before I ever knew telepathic communication was real. Their presence was always a sanctuary — a place where I felt seen, understood, and connected on a level beyond words.
That deep, intuitive bond never left me. As I walked my healing path, I began to realize that animals weren’t just companions in my life — they were teachers, guides, and partners in my spiritual growth. They communicated with me in quiet ways: through energy, emotion, imagery, and gentle impressions.
This heart-centered relationship eventually led me to the profound practice of animal communication, where my lifelong love for animals finally merged with my purpose. Today, I honor animals as wise beings with their own stories, perspectives, and healing gifts. Every session I do is an extension of the connection I’ve felt since childhood — a bridge between worlds, built on empathy, intuition, and deep respect.
My Mentors & Training
I’ve been fortunate to study with some of the world’s most respected Animal Communicators, each bringing their own unique wisdom and lineage to this work. I trained with Penelope Smith, widely known as the grandmother of interspecies communication; Alex Andersen, whose teachings beautifully weave in the Huna perspective; Sarah-Jane Le Blanc, a gifted instructor with over 30 years of coaching and therapeutic experience; and Val Heart, often referred to as The Real Dr. Doolittle for her remarkable insight and depth.
Learning from these remarkable teachers has not only strengthened my skills but has also shaped the heart of my practice. Their guidance continues to inspire me every day as I support animals and their guardians through this transformative work.
My Mission Today
Today, I feel deeply honored to support both animals and their guardians in building stronger, more harmonious relationships. Through Animal Communication and energy healing, I serve as a bridge — helping translate emotions, needs, and wisdom that often go unseen or unheard. My mission is to bring clarity, healing, and understanding to the incredible bonds we share with our animal companions.
Whether it’s offering comfort during challenging moments, bringing peace to unresolved questions, or helping an animal feel truly seen and understood, every session is a sacred exchange. Witnessing the shifts that unfold — the healing, the breakthroughs, the renewed sense of connection — fills me with profound gratitude. This work is not just my profession; it is my purpose, my passion, and the deepest honor of my life.
Mission Statement
At the core of my work, my mission is to bridge the gap between animals and their guardians by fostering compassionate, intuitive communication. I aim to provide animals with a voice, offering their human families a deeper understanding of their pets’ needs, emotions, and well-being. Whether it’s addressing behavioral challenges or fostering emotional healing, I strive to help both animals and their guardians navigate life’s challenges together. Through this work, I strive to create healing, connection, and peace for both animals and the people who love them.
