Animal communication distance learning: Experience report by participant Rahel Stauffer - From tourism to animal communicator

Please tell us about your professional background.

My name is Rahel Stauffer and I come from Aargau. I originally studied tourism and have already traveled to over 35 countries around the world. This has allowed me to see and experience a lot. In 2012, I began to orientate and train myself in a new direction. Since then I have been on the spiritual path as a shaman and family constellation therapist. A few years later, I also trained as an animal communicator. I work part-time in a business travel agency.

Why did you choose animal communication?

I chose animal communication because I already work with animals through shamanism and wanted to deepen this collaboration.

Why are you doing your apprenticeship at Dolittle?

I am totally convinced by Tanja Bärtschiger as a person. And also of her background and what she offers at Dolittle. I got to know her through animal communications that I had booked in her practice. Her manner, her knowledge and her work convinced me. I soon recognized the animal communication training as the next suitable step for me to familiarize myself with this field and learn new things.

How does the course support you in your life?

I have gained a lot of knowledge from the animal communication course. This further deepens my existing knowledge. I gain a lot of theoretical knowledge that can be applied in practice straight away. All of this also supports me on my path to complete independence.

What is your goal with your self-employment?

I am already self-employed part-time as a shaman and family constellation therapist. I already work with animals in this field. Animal communication is now simply a perfect addition to this overall offer.

What do you like best about working as an animal communicator?

What I like most about working as an animal communicator is the contact with the animals. The psychological background is also very exciting for me - the interaction between humans and animals. That's where I want to start and be able to help improve relationships. Ultimately, my aim is to enable as many animals as possible to have a better life.

Were there any challenges for you during your training?

For me, the challenge in distance learning animal communication is to always have the self-discipline to stick to the material - especially now during the corona period, this was not always so easy. For example, one of our school days had to be postponed, which would have been very important for me to consolidate what I had learned at that time before we moved on to new topics. We were able to make up the day later.

Why did you choose the distance learning course?

I chose the distance learning course because the normal course was already fully booked and because I already had the relevant prior knowledge. This made the distance learning course in animal communication a good fit for me.

What learning content helps you in your work as an animal communicator?

The comprehensive fabric delivery from Tanja was very valuable for me. You could certainly gather this yourself, but it would be very time-consuming. As a result, I received very good templates for many things. The knowledge transfer in animal communication goes into great depth in various areas, such as Schüssler salts, Bach flower therapy and other tools. We are also provided with various meditations that we can use again and again. This allows us to work on ourselves so that we can be there for our animal communication clients with renewed vigor.

How do you use the knowledge you have learned in animal communication?

I use my knowledge of animal communication when I am specifically asked for it. Sometimes I also use it for my shamanic work as a supplement to my existing methods. You then automatically apply this in everyday life with your own animals. As an animal owner, you do this to a certain extent anyway. With the appropriate knowledge, however, this takes place more deeply and intensively.

How do you establish a connection with the animal?

You can establish a connection to the animal in animal communication via the heart shakra. This all takes place on a spiritual level, i.e. on a different level of consciousness. You connect with your own heart and make contact telepathically. This can create a connection with the animal.

Was there a special experience in the context of a communication?

I had a special experience when I was allowed to communicate with a dog that had digestive problems. I then asked him in animal communication what he might need. He told me that he would like to eat coriander. In later research, I found out that coriander really can help certain dogs with digestive problems. This experience really convinced me to work with animal communication.

When do you like it best in class?

For me, the practical exercises during the animal communication course were the best. Because then you really have contact with animals or other beings and can feel it. These were special moments for me every time.

Who would you recommend training in animal communication to?

I would generally recommend animal communication training to anyone who wants to understand animals better. Anyone who also wants to discover the spiritual world. For me, however, it is important that people who choose the distance learning course already have previous knowledge. Without prior knowledge, I think there is too much material to learn independently in too short a time.

What is it like working with Tanja Bärtschiger and the other course participants?

There was a very pleasant working atmosphere on the course. We were a small group during the animal communication training and this was very pleasant for working together. We got to know each other well and had a personal and informal atmosphere. Tanja was a great teacher who is very professional, but also acts on a warm level.

How is the distance learning course in animal communication organized?

In the distance learning animal communication course, we receive online access to all documents. These can be printed out or ordered as a book. Four intensive days throughout the year are used to repeat one to three modules learned in self-study. Open questions are discussed and specific exercises in animal communication are practiced. This serves to deepen the knowledge you have acquired.

What did the training do for you personally?

The distance learning animal communication course has brought me personally one step further and also one step closer to my goal of becoming fully self-employed. This is a valuable new pillar for me. A very important milestone on my way to my lifelong dream of having my own farm with horses. There, together with my life partner, I would like to offer a platform with valuable spiritual offerings for people and horses as well as other animals.
