ABOUT
Hi, I'm Danadhi, the person behind Sasana Animal Communication.
Sasana means “message” in Pali, an ancient Indian language.
I chose the name because at the heart of what I do, is listening — giving animals the opportunity to share what they want us to know.
I relay their message to you.
I work with all animals, with a particular focus on dogs, both those who are here with us and those who have passed away.
How I came to do this work
My path to animal communication is perhaps a little unusual.
I spent more than 20 years working in healthcare, initially as a Neuro-specialist Occupational Therapist and later in healthcare data and quality.
Animal communication might seem a long way from clinical work and spreadsheets, but for me it feels like coming home.
I've always had a strong natural connection with animals, particularly dogs, and a way of understanding them that I didn't always recognise as something I could use to help others.
I'm a Reiki Master and have practised Reiki for more than 15 years and have been developing in animal communication for around 10 years.
Becoming ordained as a Buddhist has also given me the confidence to be more fully myself and to live in a way that feels meaningful, ethical and true to who I am.
Why dogs?
When I decided to practise animal communication professionally, specialising in dogs felt like the natural choice.
I've always had a particularly strong bond with them. I love their individuality, intelligence, humour and the important place they have in our lives.
There are many wonderful animal communicators working with all kinds of animals, and the more people listening to animals, the more animals we can help.
I'm simply doing my bit, one dog at a time!
How I work
I combine animal communication and Reiki healing, two practices that complement each other beautifully.
I listen to what your dog wants to share — how they are feeling, what they need, what they like and dislike, what may be troubling them and what they want you to understand.
Sometimes, seeing a situation from your dog's perspective can change everything.
My aim isn't to tell you how to manage your dog, but to help you understand them better.
When we move from guessing what our dogs need to genuinely listening to them, we can build relationships based on greater understanding, trust and respect.
I work with dogs of all kinds — whether you're supporting a rescue dog, navigating a behavioural or training challenge, helping your dog through a change, or simply wanting to understand them better.
You don't need to have a problem to come to me!
If you see your dog as a companion and partner rather than simply a pet, and you're curious about what they might have to say, I'd love to hear from you.
