When my Sheltie had to be euthanized because of an inoperable cancer, I called Shirley, and she talked to Shelby before and after she made her transition. Shelby told me that she was grateful for my courage in letting her go. She asked me to spread her ashes in one of our garden islands where we often worked together. She described it perfectly, “the one with the red flowers, Mom.” The messages that were communicated through Shirley continue to ease the grief, and give some comfort. Shirley has an immense talent as an animal communicator. She will be a blessing for anyone going through the pain of losing an animal.

Shirley Merrill's soul-to-soul approach to teaching animal communication connects humans and animals at the level of their essence, honoring and enhancing awareness of our Divine connection. I found Shirley to be uniquely able to get us beyond our personal doubts and fears, opening the way for deep and clear communication with animals. Her class was an absolute pleasure to take and gave me techniques, tips and deep food for thought that I will use my whole life.

Shirley is a delightful workshop presenter and has a unique way of sharing communication tools and teaching how to set an intention. It's more fun than work. What I liked most were the guided meditations. They deepen connection to your own essence, help you overcome fears and strengthen connection to your spiritual guides, which is key in doing any communication work with yourself or any other soul. I continue to be inspired and blessed even months later now that I've integrated these new exercises into my daily life.

There have been so many times that I've been amazed by Shirley's ability to tune in to an animal and receive accurate information from them. Whether assisting with the search for a lost pet, helping to track down the cause of a health issue, or easing the human heart during the passing of a beloved animal companion, Shirley can always be counted on to help gently and lovingly. Her compassion for the animals is equaled by her compassion for their human friends.

Before taking Shirley’s Animal Communication Class, I wondered if I would be able to do it. In the first minutes of the class, Shirley told us, “you can do it, and nothing can stop you from doing it!” Highlights for me were the Sacred Garden Meditation, and The Altar Ceremony. As I continue to read books by animal communicators, it is apparent to me how very fortunate I was to experience Shirley’s talents for my first class. I have already been able to “listen” to alpacas, dogs, cats, and horses.
