Animal communicator Brigitte Noel grew up in an artificial environment that lacked genuine connection.<\/p>\n

Constantly moving from country to country with her father, a Swiss diplomat, and her mother, an ambitious socialite, the young Noel lived in a world that revolved around mingling with the right people at cocktail parties.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t understand how people could do chit-chat and then just leave you,\u201d she said. \u201cI thought, \u2018Am I not interesting? Have I said something really boring?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Feeling abandoned and out of place, Noel turned to a tomcat named Moustache for companionship.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe would come and go, but \u2026 he was quite important to me,\u201d she said. \u201cHe didn\u2019t particularly pay a lot of attention to me, but there was a connection there.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Noel grew up, she escaped from the Swiss society she\u2019d found so superficial, completed a master\u2019s degree in metaphysics and moved to San Diego, where she unhappily worked as a realtor. Yet she still felt out of her element, and her most meaningful relationships continued to be with animals: Pooka, her Persian cat, Mikey and Bobby, her orange-winged Amazon parrots, and the late Miss Acorn Annie, a horse she called her \u201csoul mate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Consequently, when Miss Annie grew ill, Noel was distraught and tried everything she knew to help her, including hiring a holistic veterinarian, a near unheard of treatment approach in the traditional horse community where Miss Annie boarded.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would feed [Miss Annie] certain supplements that I was getting from the holistic vet, and that was criticized, dismissed and diminished,\u201d Noel said.<\/p>\n

The horse world was the only milieu Noel had ever felt close to being at home in, and it was a shock to find she didn\u2019t fit in there either. But the holistic vet brought more than a remedy for Miss Annie. She also noticed Noel\u2019s way of interacting with her horse.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re different with animals. Don\u2019t you know?\u201d Noel recalls the vet remarking.<\/p>\n

It was the first time Noel had considered that being different might have some value, and so, when, shortly thereafter, she heard about a woman who specialized in animal communication, her ears pricked up.<\/p>\n

Intent on observing how the process worked, Noel invited the communicator to visit Miss Annie. But because she lived out of town, the woman could only agree if Noel arranged consultations with six other horses, too.<\/p>\n

Noel didn\u2019t relish the prospect of trying to convince the horse community the experience would be worthwhile. First a holistic vet, now an animal communicator? Nevertheless, within two weeks, she\u2019d met the communicator\u2019s quota.<\/p>\n

In her book \u201cLoveLink: Heart to Heart Communication with Animals,\u201d Noel describes the day the communicator arrived and how it \u201cchanged [her] life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The communicator received information from the horses via mental pictures, \u201cso she would describe the pictures,\u201d Noel said.<\/p>\n

In one instance, the communicator spoke of a horse\u2019s gratitude for medical treatment, describing an image of a woman wearing gray sweatpants applying cream to the horse\u2019s cinch sore.<\/p>\n

The horse\u2019s caretaker, however, refused to acknowledge she had treated the wound, and denied it had ever happened.<\/p>\n

Had it not been for the fact that other people knew about the sore and that Noel herself had witnessed the woman applying salve, Noel could have lost all credibility. Instead, however, \u201cthe horse\u2019s communication was validated,\u201d she said. And \u201ctwo or three others came forward [for a session with the communicator] when they heard about the results.\u201d<\/p>\n

After that, Noel was determined to learn how to communicate with animals herself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had always believed \u2026 the only barrier to \u2026 finding out about [the animals\u2019] world \u2013 their emotional world, their feeling world, their thinking world \u2013 was \u2026 language,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Throwing herself into what little material she could find to study about the subject, Noel learned that sending and receiving pictures through extrasensory perception was how most communicators \u201cread\u201d animals. Yet this wasn\u2019t what Noel wanted to do.<\/p>\n

\u201c[I wanted to converse] in the here and now, going back and forth, \u2026 like a CB radio: asking the questions [and] getting a response,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Not knowing how else to proceed, however, Noel began trying to read Miss Annie, who remained oblivious to her experiments.<\/p>\n

Yet it would be Miss Annie who, once again, took Noel by the reins: Kicked by a mare after Noel let her out to pasture, the horse was hurt and Noel was full of self-recrimination.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m there wringing my hands, walking by her [and] going \u2018How could I have let this happen?\u2019\u201d Noel said.<\/p>\n

That was when, all of a sudden, she heard it: Miss Annie sent her a telepathic message.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my mind\u2019s eye I hear, \u2018Don\u2019t worry. I\u2019m OK,\u2019\u201d Noel said. \u201cIt truly was not me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unlike reading pictures, a telepathic exchange is \u201ca purely intuitive process that\u2019s unfolding in the present moment, \u2026 two freely sentient beings sharing their thoughts, feelings and emotions,\u201d Noel wrote in \u201cLoveLink.\u201d<\/p>\n

After realizing that telepathy comes more naturally to her than reading pictures, Noel made great strides with Miss Annie. And a few years later, in 1995, she felt confident enough in her abilities to open her Hillcrest business, All-Ears Animal Communication.<\/p>\n

Clients include cats, horses, rabbits, chinchillas, rats, birds and even pigs, and sessions do not include cocktail party chit-chat. Spraying urine, adapting to newcomers, sharing toys, being treated as toys, tension between household members, food preferences and health issues are far more scintillating topics.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a natural connection. And now that Noel is keeping company in the right circles, she\u2019s all ears.<\/p>\n
