Joanne Yeoh – Animal Communicator
•
Whatever your views on talking to animals, I challenge you to put them to one side for the next hour as you listen to the remarkable Joanne Yeoh.
After a successful career in the NHS, Joanne took a completely unexpected path, building a career helping people better understand their pets through animal communication. More recently, she has also dedicated her work to supporting owners as they navigate the difficult and emotional journey of end-of-life care for their beloved animals.
Whether you're a sceptic, a believer, or simply curious, Joanne's story is a fascinating reminder that careers can take the most extraordinary and unexpected turns. A life well lived, indeed.
