I have a rescue Blue and Gold Macaw who goes by the name of Emma. This bird was suffering from an illness called Aspergillosis and was very sick with it. This fungal infection is a known killer of birds. Emma came to our sanctuary in a very weak state and we really did not think she would survive. She had many operations and medications, by an excellent avian vet, but after many operations the dreaded fungi came back time after time. Again and again the vet performed some amazing surgery.
I had come to the conclusion that it would be better for Emma if we let her go in peace.
Oephebia offered to do some healing with Emma and although I feel very comfortable with this, I did not think even Oephebia’s talent could overcome Emma's illness.
Needless to say that I was very happy to be proven wrong. With the skill of all the vets that worked so hard with Emma and the loving healing that Oephebia sent, Emma rallied.
With the continued veterinary treatment by our skilled vets, and only 5 sessions of distant healing Emma improved. Oephebia worked with Emma so well that I found her behaviour was improving as well. I went down for the dreaded scope to find out if I was going to have to put Emma to sleep. As the surgeon put the scope down her throat I could see pink and healthy tissue. Every inch was clean.
I believe that if we work together bringing all the resources available to us, spiritual, medical and behavioural we can make a difference. I am forever thankful to the skill of our avian vets, and can not thank them enough for the continued hard work in helping to save Emma.
I could write about how wonderful Oephebia is for hours, but I would just like to say she is my Star.
Thank you Oephebia you have no idea how much comfort I got in a time of desperation just to have you there helping Emma all the way with your love and healing. |

| When one of my beloved macaws died in surgery, her lifelong companion, Seraphene, clearly grieved for her. It was Oephebia to the rescue.
She described both parrots to a tee and really connected to the innermost thoughts of Seraphene to help free him of his depression.
There is no doubt in my mind that without Oephebia, Seraphene would still be suffering sadness …I am so grateful for her help and the comfort she brought through the healing sessions.
As an animal communicator, Oephebia is compassionate and loving with an extraordinary talent for reading and interpreting the complex feelings of parrots.
It’s great to know that there is someone I can turn to in a crisis to help my birds through it.
Thank you so much |

| Little Mo, one of our rescued African grey parrots, had a serious and persistent health condition that veterinary treatment helped stabilise in 2006, but in April 2007 the problem recurred. This time, veterinary treatment did little to abate the suspected internal abscess or possible benign tumour – its identity was somewhat ambiguous. When Little Mo stopped eating and became violently sick with slight traces of blood in her droppings, I tearfully contacted our vet and after discussing the grave situation made a provisional booking for her euthanasia that afternoon.
From a quantum metaphysical level and spiritual healing perspective, I understand that everything is energy and that identification of what is causing ill health matters very little, as the predisposing cause of illness is due to the invasion of negative energy.
Inspired by animal communication, I contacted Oephebia, who had communed with some of our rescue parrots, for her valuable animal communication gift. Oephebia very kindly responded immediately and connected with Little Mo, who conveyed that she wanted to stay with me and was not ready to leave her physical existence and that whatever the outcome, she would be alright. Oephebia also sent Little Mo distant healing, which the one in need can receive for either physical or spiritual healing - or both elements together – if it is for their higher good. Not long after the communication, Little Mo slowly climbed up my arm and onto my shoulder. Her symptoms abated and she seemed brighter.
Once I had engaged Oephebia to help Little Mo, I experienced an amazing telepathic communication between Little Mo and me. Little Mo was able to commune to me that there were times when she felt sad, especially when I had been absent minded and ignored her when I was busy. This gave me the opportunity to acknowledge her feelings thus put right the wrongdoings with heartfelt remorse and apologies. This helped both of us on a spiritual level. Our relationship deepened and she had a surge of energy that gave the impression her health was fully restored.
Oephebia continued her communication and distant healing with Little Mo and kept me informed at each stage. This brave little parrot always expressed her love of me and that she wanted to stay with me in her familiar surroundings. Oephebia knew that Little Mo was soon to depart and this was sadly the situation seen in Little Mo’s condition gravely deteriorating. I knew the end was close and when I reflected upon her communications with Oephebia and briefly with myself, I became fully aware of the true meaning behind them; that it was, indeed, a spiritual communication to prepare me for her transition and her own physical departure. Little Mo had chosen a natural physical death and when that moment came, she passed away at 1.05 pm on 19th May 2007 whilst I held her close to me, telling her that I loved her and always would with heartfelt love and deepest sadness.
The amazing grace of Little Mo’s passing in what transpired during the actual time of Mo’s passing is seen in the following excerpt from Oephebia’s email to me. Unbeknown at the time to Oephebia and me, Oephebia had been communicating with our beloved Little Mo as she was passing away in my arms:
“I have just done healing on Mo from 1.00 pm to 1.10 pm. She was feeling sad and a bit distraught, with a slight breathing problem and nauseous.
After a while, she came down and at the end of the session she seemed to be more relaxed.”
I was naturally tearful and upset at losing such a beloved bird, but I also felt a sense of peace and that all was well with her. I realised through this poignant experience that we cannot alter what is meant to be but that we are given the opportunity through animal communication to open our hearts and correct any mistakes and misunderstandings between our beloved animals and us. This enables us to accept the past, present and future and thus move on for the higher good of all.
In the past, I had always experienced emotional turmoil over the passing of the animals and birds with whom I were privileged to share my life. However, the amazing communication between Oephebia and dear Little Mo became a turning point in my life and brought to me a greater understanding and meaning of communion and oneness with our animals friends and the natural world. |

| Captain is a beautiful, sensitive soul. He is unable to fly due to the ill-fusion of the tissue surrounding the dislocated shoulder, hindered by the fibrous wing joint. Captain is by nature an adventurous bird and the debilitation of flight causes him a large degree of emotional distress, as is a natural adversity for birds unable to fly.
The required treatment to get him through a potentially life-threatening disease has also caused him a large degree of emotional trauma. His usual incessant talking tapered to periodical comments and he became less animated. I knew he was troubled, but I didn’t know how to help him, he needed more than ordinary human assistance.
In Oephebia’s communication with him he conveyed the emotional trauma he had accumulated over the course of time, which on reflection must have formed a tight knot deep within his psyche. He also spoke about the physical pain he was feeling and that at one time he felt cold – I feel this relates to the illness of the disease he was suffering from, despite the constant provision of a heat lamp.
Captain even described the shape of his favourite toy and told Oephebia that his favourite nut is walnut! He mentioned that he would like to do more but feels that he shouldn’t and said there is a green parrot which he likes very much - Captain could be referring to our rescued Amazon, but he is never within his viewing range, or was possibly referring to the Amazon who he once lived with in his previous home.
Oephebia told me she felt the full force of his emotional turmoil and that it reduced her to tears. Naturally, Oephebia performed ‘Compassionate Release Healing’ on Captain and periodically thereafter. I noticed positive improvements. He was more cheerful and chatty and took a better interest in his food. I became aware of not seeing any fallen feathers and there was a significant improvement to the parts of wounded skin.
We have made significant changes to Captain’s environment so that he can safely adventure. He requires regular healing sessions to help with the relief of both physical and emotional pain.
Because captain incurred emotional distress from two operations to remove old scar tissue and all that it entails to keep the wounds clear of infection, in addition to receiving lengthy treatment for the potential fatal disease he had, he would not be able to endure this type of medical treatment again. I feel strongly that he was saying ‘’enough is enough’’ when his heart stopped beating during his second operation. Thankfully, a combination of veterinary skill and Captain’s self-will saved the day!
Animal communication reaches beyond our physically senses and allows us to know our companion animals in a non-ordinary way. It brings healing, humility, patience, understanding and compassion, and through these virtues we are able to form better relationships with our animals and the natural world around us. |

| Fred came into our care in 1995 at over 20 years of age. His person had kept him chained to a 12-inch perch for 19 years!
Fred was suffering from muscle atrophy, malnutrition and had psychological problems. I soon built a deep bondship with him but over the past few years I noticed it was slightly deteriorating. I felt this was due to a gradual breakdown in our communication - we just weren’t synchronising as well as we once did.
Oephebia’s communication with him was very successful and she reported things about him that are amazingly accurate, like his preference for yellow foods and that he likes to play and tease, sometimes bully me! She also said that there had been a man in his life that he didn’t like and that he had felt sadness during his life but that he liked it where he was now. Fred’s story in captivity had entailed two men whereby he often had his tail pulled.
The beauty of this communication was that it helped me to understand Fred better; to see and feel things from his perspective, which enabled me to improve my communication with him. I noticed an immediate improvement after Oephebia’s communication; he looked radiant and was more like his old affectionate self. I was also pleased to notice that after about two weeks from his little ‘chat’ with Oephebia he had put a little weight on.
I feel this physical improvement was due to Oephebia’s ‘Compassionate Release’ healing technique that she performs directly after her communication session with the animal. |

| Walter is “me darlin”...but his demands are equal to a human toddler!
This amazing bird is over 40 years old and when we collected him two years ago from a motorway lay-by, his life hung by a thin thread. However, he received my immediate love, care and attention, to which I am pleased to say he positively responded.
I am not too familiar with his history, but I do know that the complete amputation of one of his wings is a typical method once used by trappers after stealing wild parrot chicks from their nest for the pet trade. The amputation has caused a degree of nerve damage down that particular side of his body and will sometimes cause a weak spasm in one of his legs. I suspect Walter has had many homes during his life.
Oephebia reported to me that Walter was distant and wasn’t hot on communication but that he finally relayed to her that he likes pictures and hates motorbikes, that he loves his food and pecan nuts. He made reference to having trouble with one of his legs and said that he does not like to be alone, having known too much loneliness in his life.
Walter loves looking at pictures and although we don’t operate a motorbike, his reaction to the sound is obvious that he doesn’t like them. He adores his food and nuts, especially pecan, although I think this is wavering because since Oephebia confirmed this I began to over-do his supply!
The sweetest remark was in telling Oephebia he loved me! This is true, for he hates to leave my side and would happily allow me to glue him to my arm!
Walter doesn’t like to be alone, not that he is for long periods. On occasional short periods that he is, he will scream like a child having a tantrum if he hears my voice but cannot see me!
Confirmation of these things has enabled me to know Walter at a deeper level and has helped me to better understand his needs: why he sometimes feels insecure and thus demanding of my attention. I now have the necessary information to understand the reason for his emotional dependency. |
