Ethics
What are the unique ethical considerations that we need to understand in our work with animals and their people?
What are our responsibilities to the animals, the humans, and ourselves?
How do we care for ourselves and maintain healthy boundaries, and avoid the fatigue and burnout that is common in our fields?
Energetic Boundaries
As an animal communicator or animal energy worker, do you:
- struggle with handling people and their energy?
- wish you could deal with just the animals and not the people?
- wonder about the ethics and nuances of asking for and receiving permission from humans to work with animals?
- deal with burnout, fatigue, and “negative” or “dark” energies?
- struggle with receiving “too much information” in public, at home, or during sleep?
- feel overwhelmed by feeling the suffering of others?
- feel frustrated and overwhelmed when you can’t solve problems or change situations for animals or their people?
In this class, we’ll explore:
- Ethics and integrity: How do we develop our internal code of ethics, and what are the standards in our fields?
- Permission and confidentiality: When, how, and why is this important?
- Responsibility: What is our responsibility to our clients, the animals, and ourselves? Which responsibility takes precedence in areas of potential conflict?
- Energetic boundaries and healthy energetic hygiene: What are healthy energetic boundaries, and how do we maintain them?
- Practitioner fatigue and burnout: How do we practice self-care, avoid “compassion fatigue,” and stay clear and healthy in our practice
- The ethics of mediumship, medical/veterinary intuition, and prediction: What are our responsibilities?
- Business, promotion, and scope of practice: What do we do and how do we do it? How do we communicate about our work to others?
- Working with other professionals: How do our ethics play out in our work with other practitioners and colleagues?
What Does This Class Include?
- Class materials that are available permanently online, and may also be downloaded
- Guidance for practitioners to examine and develop their own internal and professional codes of ethics
- Online assessment questions to help you to define and understand your own internal ethical guidance system with regard to the topics in the class

What People Say About this Class…
“I enjoyed the sample cases. They really made me think and allowed me to understand more deeply what can be done in difficult situations. I also appreciated the mixture of audio and written content.”
“I learned so much even though I’ve had two careers in my life that had ethical standards. Some of the policies were similar but taking from the perspective of an animal communication, there were differences!”
“I enjoyed so much. I enjoyed the topic. I enjoyed the sharing and posts of other participants. I love the comments made to each of us by Nancy. I loved the phone calls and interaction. I loved the meditations and other information that was posted on the group. I don’t know what I loved most. That would be like answering the question what is your favorite color. Sure I have one or more that I like but I love them all for different reasons. How do you pick a favorite?”
“The participants of this class came from so many different backgrounds and experience levels, but everyone jumped into the deep end with both feet! It made for really great discussion and instant camaraderie.”
“I really enjoyed the flow of the class and how it was initiated with discussions and lessons surrounding ethics. This laid the stage and structure for further exploration of boundaries and putting it all into practice.”
“This class has taught me the principal boundaries and ethics we need to follow, including tips to strengthen my core and clear the remaining energy.”
“The Boundaries and Ethics class more than met my expectations! All the information that was covered was very helpful regarding my animal communication business. The reminders to respect the boundaries of animals and humans, and the weekly discussions on how to deal with a variety of potentially delicate situations was extremely beneficial. The surprising extra benefit was that the information was equally enlightening and useful in my personal life. This class has greatly assisted me in clarifying healthy boundaries, and has given me tools to handle situations with integrity not only in my business but in my overall life as well. Nancy’s heart-centered guidance and her calm ‘way of being’ was wonderful. She was very professional, clear, informative and supportive of each one of us in the class, with our varying levels of experience. Thank you tremendously!”
“The course is very well structured and I truly liked the exercises and that so much material is being presented openly. I liked to hear about Nancy’s background, the list of books and websites that have been suggested for further study. Now I can go deeper on my path.”
