My Story
Erin Norleen
Animals have been my biggest love throughout my life.
All through my childhood, I remember rescuing injured gophers and devising elaborate...okay, perhaps manipulative, plans to keep stray cat families (yes, plural). I would get extra excited whenever we were invited to family friends' homes because of their animals.
In my traveling twenties, various friends still laugh about me saying hi to all of the street dogs. While living in Asia, my gauge for choosing various shops or services was dependent on whether there were resident dogs or cats. At one point, I even ended up bringing home and raising a rejected week-old endangered Asian Leopard Cat from a small community zoo in Northern Thailand. And these are just a few of the many stories...
So to have a pivotal moment, calling me to work with the animal kingdom in a profound way, really didn't surprise me, in the grand scheme of things.
This moment came at the darkest time of my life, at the age of 33. It was a time that I didn't see any hope, and I whole-heartedly asked God and my angels and spirit guides to show me a way. I had no idea what was about to happen!
While on a bus in Thailand, I experienced something extraordinary; even magical and undeniable. Relaxing to some meditation music, I suddenly felt as though my head was opening up and healing light was pouring in. This was accompanied by a very direct message:
Your mission on earth is to transmute fear into Unconditional Love. You will do this with animals and you will use your hands.
And so began my mission...
At first I tried to understand what it meant to 'transmute fear into Unconditional Love', and along the way the most loving and liberating teachings to integrate this message have crossed my path and become an integral part of my daily life, namely A Course In Miracles and the devotional non-duality consciousness-based teachings of Dr. David R. Hawkins, to name a few.
My life is dedicated to healing and to sharing with others the unstoppable power of Unconditional Love.

“Don’t die with your music still in you.
When you die, you will return to that Source, and you will be in that space of love. But the Tao (Te Ching) says that you don’t have to die to get there.
You can die to the ego and live from that space of perfect love while you’re here. That vivid, surprising, benevolent, enduring quality that defines the quantum moment, that leads us into the shift, is really an indication that you are returning back to the Source.
You’re beginning to live from the Tao. It’s reconnecting with the field of intention"
~ Dr. Wayne Dyer, 'The Shift'
