Testimonials

I stumbled upon Clifford’s Gift when looking online for an animal communicator – I went through a separation and was hoping for help in easing the transition for my kitties. I don’t know how to put into words the way in which Shelley has helped us all.  I wholeheartedly believe in her ability to communicate with animals and there is a noticeable difference in how my cats respond to me since we’ve been working together. They seem appreciative of being heard and understood and it has brought us closer than I thought possible. On top of being such a great support to them and helping ensure their emotional needs are met, Shelley provides great support and understanding to humans too. She is so kind, empathetic, positive and genuinely caring. Speaking to her is an absolute joy. I am forever grateful to Shelley and Clifford for sharing their gift. Working with Shelley has improved all of our lives and I would recommend her services to anyone wanting to deeply connect with their fur loved ones.

I had heard about Shelley from a friend. Her experience made me curious to hear what our dog would say to us. We are first time dog owners and I believe in energy work so I reached out. The animal communication by phone was very informative, it was great to hear, through her, what Kooper had to say. Shelley was very easy to talk with. She has a kind and caring nature and I could truly feel her love for the animals. After the phone appointment we did schedule a distance reiki session. After the session Shelley was quick to let us know how it went, the information that came up and any suggestions for a follow up. I did reach out to her a few times after the phone appointment and prior to the reiki session. She was always quick to reply and encouraged any questions and feedback. It was a great experience for all of us.

I had no idea what to expect when I made an appointment to speak to my beloved puppy, who had recently passed. While we still miss her so much, we feel more at peace knowing that she is safe, no longer in pain, still with us and watching over us.

Shelley is nothing short of amazing and we are lucky to be blessed with the gift that she has in communicating with animals. She is gentle, professional and shares her knowledge so that you come away knowing more about your pet than you maybe ever did.

I was very impressed with the process and would highly recommend the services offered by Clifford’s Gift. Thanks again, Shelley. You helped take away some of the pain and we will always be grateful for that.

I brought Sadie into our home in May 2021. She was 18 months old at the time. I was looking for a mature dog after our black lab died from cancer the year before. Sadie came from a home in Saskatchewan. Her prior owner had her for breeding purposes. When she was not able to produce puppies and was spayed she was needing a new home. I thought she would be perfect for our home. I was really not expecting what Sadie would be like. She came to us full of fear, she had not been socialized, did not know how to play and did not know anything about the world of treats. She hid 24 hrs a day in a bedroom which was her safe place. We suspect she has been abused. I was in love with Sadie but didn’t have a clue how to help her get past her fears and to help her become the dog she needed to be.

My daughter suggested reiki for Sadie. Having had reiki myself I thought this might be a good option. I did some searching and found Shelley. After some communication with her Shelley decided Animal Voice would be a good place to start. The Animal Voice session was amazing, it answered so many question I had about Sadie. Shelley gave me hope for my beautiful girl. We next did Distance Reiki. I noticed right away some improvements in Sadie.. each day I saw signs of progress. We have since had Animal Voice and Distance Reiki. I have to say that Sadie is improving all the time. I now see her tail wag, she loves to play and has found her voice, yes she has learned to bark! Sadie continues to be fearful but near as bad as seven months ago. Sadie has a fear of going through a door both going out and coming in. I suspect she will always be fearful in a way. I am prepared to work with Shelley for as long as it takes to see Sadie a happy and emotionally healthy dog! Thank you so much Shelley.

I have worked with Shelley since the end of the summer, 2019. I have an 8 year old mix breed stray. She had been abused before I found her and brought her into my home. At the time my older dog was going through significant life changes due to old age: dementia, blindness, arthritis and whatever else. She turned 16 years in January. This really upset my younger dog to the point that she was aggressive, survival attitude, and dominant in all areas.

Working with Shelley with animal communication and reiki, Manitou has grown into an affectionate, lovable, happy little girl. Shelley has been able to help her (and I) to deal with the changes in my 16 year old. I continue to work with her to release old anguish. It takes time as the emotional wounds are deep. Shelley is simply kind, non-judgmental, has a great sense of humour, is knowledgeable, and most of all compassionate to all animals and humans.

I have had a few readings from animal communicators in the past; but none had ‘in the moment’ conversation with my beloved dog that Shelley provided. I was so touched to know that the three of us were sharing a sacred special time where I could ask a question of my beloved departed Bear and Shelley would immediately ask him and come back with his response. So powerful and comforting. Thank you.

My precious Libbi died on October 9th, 2019.  She had cancer that was causing her distress and I wanted to make sure that I was able to communicate with her leading up to her death.  I wanted to ensure that I was making the right choice to let her go when I did.  Shelley has been instrumental in helping me communicate with Libbi.  These conversations between Libbi and I were so loving.  I needed Libbi to know that that there was nothing to be done for her regarding medical treatment.  Libbi was able to share with me her needs, wants and wishes.  After Libbi died I was able to reach out to Shelley to ensure that Libbi had crossed over and was safe.  Without going into details I know that Shelley’s gift is real and we are so lucky she is sharing Clifford’s Gift.  Thank you Shelley

I recently had to put my beautiful, loving and loyal 15 years young pup to sleep.  My heart was broken.  Shelley’s special gift and her compassionate and caring spirit has helped me through this tough time.  I will forever miss my companion but I know he is always with me.  Thank you Shelley!

Our pets are our family and communication is vital to navigating our way to understanding what is needed and what might be going on.  When our family is not well and we can no longer communicate as we wish we could, Shelley can provide the guidance and peace that both you and your family members need and deserve.  As your pet transitions from your home to the afterlife, Shelley will assist in leading the way.  I am a realist and I am also a believer, thank you Shelley for being there for us.

We rescued Charlie and noticed he had some severe separation anxiety.  His behaviour was getting worse and we were unable to leave him with anyone or alone for long.  I searched for someone who could communicate with him so we could find out what we needed to do for Charlie.  Shelley was amazing and gave us great insight into what Charlie was feeling and what he was needing.  We implemented everything Shelley told us to do and we now have a happy content Charlie who now is ok to be left alone and his aggression to strangers has dissipated.  Shelley has given us a better understanding of Charlie and we are all benefiting from this and are all much more happy and content.  She is amazing and we are forever grateful.

We just brought a young bloodhound to our home from where he lived in Alberta.  We had Judge for 4 days when my husband noticed he was gone.  We live up against a highway so our concern is always with animals being hit by vehicles.  We searched and called and did everything.  I put posters out and taped his food and blankets to trees along our property hoping he’d sniff his way back.  I was convinced he was trying to go back to his old family in Alberta.  I was desperate and googling how to find lost pets when I came across animal communicators and the whole idea.  I found Shelley’s page and seen she was from Regina.  She instantly responded to my desperate email asking her for help and that afternoon she had answers for me from Judge.  She explained the whole process and how it worked.  I instantly felt calmer and hopeful for the first time since he went missing.  She described his surroundings where he was (blue tractor, green and white house) and when we found him alive and well the next afternoon he was indeed by a farm with a blue tractor and white and green house.  My skeptical husband can’t even say too much to deny that Shelley was indeed right and instrumental in us finding Judge and getting a second chance to be his new family.  I highly recommend this incredibly gifted woman for any and all communications needed with your beloved furry family members.

We were referred to Shelley through a co-worker who had previously utilized Shelley’s services.  I contacted Shelley because our beautiful 10 month old puppy went missing.  Shelley was in contact with us as often as we needed and every time she said she would help, she did.  Shelley stuck with us through some very hard days and alleviated our grief and frustration, communicating not only with our puppy that was missing but also our other two dogs who were still at home.  Shelley eased our minds and healed our hearts and we will never forget the kindness and care she showed us during those difficult days.  I have no problem recommending Shelley to anyone with animals who will benefit from her special gift.  Thank you Shelley.

I’ve had Brutis for 12 years since he was a kitten.  He has always pretty much done what he wants regardless of what the circumstances were.  The problem I had was he started pooping outside his litter box upstairs right in front of the fireplace and no matter what I tried he was determined to continue this behavior.  I was at the end of my rope and was considering putting him down but loved the little guy regardless of his behavior and couldn’t see myself going through with it.

I found out about Clifford’s Gift through a friend and was very skeptical but thought I’ve tried everything else so why not.  Well I can tell you, I learnt a lot about what makes this little guy click.  I was able to essentially talk to Brutis through Shelley by asking him questions through her.  I was amazed at how intelligent animals can be and how much of our way of communicating they really understand.  It’s just a matter of being able to understand each other.  Brutis was able to tell Shelley the reasons why he was acting out and it was just a matter of me making some changes and the problem was over, he started using his litter box again.

I recommend giving Shelley a try, she’s down to earth and very easy to talk to.  At the very least you will find you have a more meaningful relationship with your pet and feel as though you know and understand them better.

My 4 year old rescue pup Hunter has an onslaught of health problems but is recently struggling with dry eye syndrome causing him to loose an eye.  It wasn’t exactly clear what were the best steps to take next as far as further surgery etc. and the Animal Voice session gave us comfort that we were making the right choice for him.  It also helped us to make some adjustments to our behaviour and home environment that may not have been helping his recovery.  After the Animal Distance Reiki session he was very sleepy but afterwards seemed more calm and in less pain.  He was also much more affectionate.  I feel the connection between Hunter and I has been strengthened 100 fold.  I feel he is appreciative he had a chance to share his opinion.  We will be back after surgery for more insight and more Reiki to help him heal.  Thank you Shelley.

My daughter had brought home a stray cat that was desperately looking for a new home.  Our new cat, Missey, was showing some behaviour problems and those problems were having an impact on whether we would be able to give her the home that she desperately wanted.  I had contacted Shelley for assistance.  Shelley was able to negotiate a solution with Missey and now Missey has her forever home.  Thanks Shelley! Missey is a fun loving cat and I can not imagine her not being part of our family.

I have known Shelley for the past few years and what I can tell you about her is how passionate she is about animals and their well being.  She has an amazing connection with them that is a very special gift that she is so generously willing to share with others.  One of my pups recently had surgery.  I was very concerned about the trauma that he had to go through and the adjustment and recovery he was having to face.  I was worried about his physical well being but also his emotional well being.  I noticed that he was feeling very unsettled, constantly moving around, couldn’t get comfortable.  It was horrible to watch.  I asked Shelley to do a Animal Distance Reiki session with him and after the session he was so much calmer and was able to rest and sleep more.  Just overall more at ease and me too.

Shelley takes her gifts and responsibilities seriously.  She has helped several friends with beloved cats and, from time to time, has offered some insight about the dog who lives upstairs.  When people ask if I know someone who communicates with animals, Shelley’s the person I refer.
