Meet the woman who quit her £60,000 job to speak to animals

American Nikki Vasconez, 33, from Philadelphia, left her £60,000 job as a lawyer to pursue her "dream career" as a "pet psychic," and is now making more money because she is overwhelmed by demands from curious animal owners.

As a pet therapist, Nikki Vasconez has trained herself to talk to animals.

And just a year after she first started reading into animals in September 2020, she started advertising her services on social media (Instagram and TikTok), and soon found a list of dates for months.

"I was unhappy with my job as a lawyer, I was working long hours, I was unhappy, but I was very afraid of change," Nikia said.

“I started pet training for family and friends, and some strangers’ animals for free, but as soon as I created accounts on social media, I started getting a constant following, and it wasn’t long before the requests started pouring in, I couldn’t believe it and had to set up a queue of a total of 4,000 people asking me to hug their animals.”

She said I would look at the animals, and ask them a series of questions telepathically, before she would say the answers.

Nikki runs Nikki Vasconez Animal Communication, and lives with personal evolution coach Michael, 34, and their two poodles.

According to the Mirror, Nikki charges £280 for an hour session.

She said that she wants to do quality readings of animals and restricts her communications to two per day.
