Sessions & Fees

A note for new clients:

I strongly recommend a 30 or 45 minute session for your first appointment unless your question is fairly basic. That gives us enough time to get your animal's history and context, have the conversation, and discuss what came through. The 15-minute option is reserved for established clients with a quick follow-up question.

Email Sessions

You send your questions and a photo of your animal; I conduct the session and send you a complete written transcript of the conversation by email within 3–5 business days. Once you've reviewed the transcript, you have the opportunity to ask follow-up questions.

Email sessions are a wonderful option if you prefer to read the conversation rather than hear it, if scheduling a phone call is difficult, or if you want a written record you can return to. We do our best to get you scheduled quickly — most appointments are available within 2–4 weeks.

Pricing & Questions

Phone Sessions

Live, interactive, by phone. You bring a list of questions; I translate; your animal answers in real time. Most people find this the most rewarding format because you can follow up on what comes through — ask for clarification, dig deeper, react in the moment.

Please send a photo of your animal before the session. Recordings are available for an additional $5; if you choose this option, I'll send you a sound file by email within 3–5 days after the call. We do our best to get you scheduled quickly — most appointments are available within 2–4 weeks.

Pricing & Length

Animal Communication Coaching & Intuitive Development

For people who want to develop their own ability to communicate with animals — or simply deepen their existing connection.

These are private sessions, customized to where you are and where you want to go. We work by phone, in 60–90 minute sessions, all of which are recorded. I'll send you a sound file by email within 3–5 days after each call.

If you'd like to learn more before committing, a complimentary 10-minute phone consultation is available.

Pricing & Format

Emergency Sessions

Life with animals doesn't always wait for business hours.

A limited number of emergency consultations are available outside my regular schedule, or in between booked appointments. These are useful when you need to communicate with your animal urgently — about an illness or accident, about an end-of-life decision, or about a lost or missing animal.

I'll schedule your session as quickly as my availability allows. Emergency sessions carry an additional fee of $75 on top of the standard session price. We do our best to get you scheduled quickly — most appointments are available within 2–4 weeks.

Gift Certificates

A beautiful gift for the animal lover in your life.

A gift certificate is a beautiful gift for the animal lover in your life — particularly someone navigating grief, a difficult diagnosis, or simply curious about what their companion has to say. I can send the certificate directly to your recipient, or to you to deliver yourself. Just let me know your preference at checkout.

Business hours

10 AM – 4 PM, Tuesday through Friday, and 10 AM – 12 PM on Saturday, Arizona time. Some evening appointments are available by request. Most inquiries are returned by the next business day; messages received Friday through Sunday may be returned the following Tuesday.

A note on time zones: Arizona does not observe daylight saving time. If you're not local, you can convert your local time to Arizona time at timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.

Payment & scheduling

Payment is required in advance to reserve your appointment. You can pay by credit card through PayPal (no PayPal account required — credit card alone is fine), or by mailing a personal check or money order made payable to Debbie Johnstone. Contact me for the mailing address. Phone sessions require payment 72 hours in advance. Once payment is received, I'll be in touch by email to schedule your session.
