Hi, I am Sasha, Mindset Coach and Master Healer, and I teach animal lovers how to start using their natural gifts to start a successful pet business and work with animals.

There is something powerful about discovering you were meant to be a healer. Whether you’ve always felt connected to animals, or you’ve only recently started feeling a deeper intuitive pull, one of the most common questions I get asked is: “How do I know what kind of healer I am?” or “How do I find my healing path?” This is a deeply personal journey, and one that requires reflection, curiosity, and a willingness to trust your inner voice.

 

How to Know If You Have the Healer Gift (And How to Start Using It)

Some people are born knowing they are here to help. Others discover their healing gift slowly, through loss, love, intuition, or connection with animals that changes everything.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Could I be a healer?” or “How would I even begin?”—this guide is for you. Let’s break it down into two parts: Recognizing the Healer Within and Beginning to Use Your Gift.

Part 1: How to Know If You Have the Healer Gift

You might have the healer gift if:

  • Animals seem to trust you instantly, even ones who are shy, scared, or previously mistreated.

  • You sense what others are feeling, and it’s hard to ignore—even if no one has said a word.

  • You’ve always been fascinated by energy, spirituality, or alternative healing, even if you’ve never practiced it formally.

  • People come to you for emotional support or feel better after being around you.

  • You’ve gone through deep personal challenges or transformations, and you’ve come out the other side more aware, compassionate, and connected.

  • You’ve had experiences you can’t explain—a strong intuition, vivid dreams, or “just knowing” things before they happen.

Healers often carry an unexplainable knowing, even if they can’t yet articulate what to do with it. The pull toward helping animals, supporting others, and creating calm or emotional relief is a major sign.

If you recognize yourself in any of these, you’re likely a healer in the making.

Part 2: How to Start Using Your Gift

Once you recognize the healer in you, the next step is not to rush out and do it all—but to begin grounding your energy and building awareness.

Here’s how to begin:

  1. Get Quiet and Listen

    Spend 5–10 minutes a day in silence. Breathe deeply. Sit with your hands on your heart or over your pet. Notice what you feel. The healer’s path starts with self-awareness.

  2. Practice Presence with Animals

    Next time you’re with an animal, practice “energetic listening.” What do they seem to be asking for? How do you feel in your body around them? Are you calm, anxious, light, heavy? This develops energetic sensitivity.

  3. Start with One Modality

    You don’t need to master everything. Start with what calls to you—Reiki, touch therapy, essential oils, EFT, crystals, or guided meditation. Take a small class, read a book, or join a circle.

  4. Offer Healing to Yourself First

    The most important client you’ll ever have is yourself. Try a daily energy clearing, an affirmation practice, or hands-on healing to start cleansing your own energy field.

  5. Create a Sacred Space

    This can be a corner of your home or your entire healing room. Add a few objects that feel sacred—stones, a candle, photos of animals you love. This becomes the energetic anchor of your healing journey.

  6. Document Your Journey

    Journal your experiences. Write down shifts in energy, insights, dreams, signs, or how animals respond to you. This builds confidence and deepens your trust in your intuition.

  7. Seek Mentorship and Community

    Don’t walk the path alone. Find a guide or community that can support you, answer your questions, and help you grow with confidence and clarity.

You Don’t Need Permission, Just a Starting Point

You don’t have to wait for a certification, a sign from the universe, or “proof” you’re good enough. If you feel called, it’s because you’re meant to explore it.

I believe we all have the ability to heal. Some of us are just meant to make it our path, our purpose, and our work.

If you’re ready to step into that next chapter, I’d be honored to show you how.

Take the first step toward becoming the healer you were born to be.
