She has studied with animal practitioners including Sonya Fitzpatrick, the Pet Psychic, on Animal Planet.
Paulette has joyfully assisted many clients to strengthen their bond and to bridge the gap between themselves and their animal friends.
"Nineteen years ago, I studied with a representative of Penelope Smith. All my life I have loved and cared for animals. Restless and unfulfilled in my administrative position, I prayed for guidance as to how I could work with animals and share my knowledge with others, and to help them learn preventative health care. I decided to attend school to become a Certified Animal Therapist."
