Sue Erwin

Certified Consulting Associate
Coaching Associate

Sue is focusing her time on Coaching, and is not currently doing Consultations.

Throughout her life, Sue has always felt a special connection with animals: she “just knew” what they wanted, she could understand an animal’s personality immediately, and her own animals always seemed to know whenever she needed their special attention. However, she never knew it was possible to talk with them until her animal companions led her to this discovery.

When Sue’s beloved Irish Setter, Maggie, passed on after 15 years together, Sue found it very difficult to let go of the guilt she felt when she finally assisted Maggie with her passing. A friend suggested she work with an animal communicator, and despite many doubts and fears, Sue did, and was astounded with the results. Clearly Maggie was profusely grateful for Sue’s final assistance, and sent many messages of love and support. As Sue had this Communicator work with more of her animals, one message became very clear: “you do, indeed, share a close bond with animals…and you need to become an animal communicator!” Shortly after, Sue attended one of The Gurney Institute’s Introductory Animal Communication Workshops, and knew she found what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.

Sue has been an Animal Communicator since 2007 and upon completion of her Certification Training, became a Consulting Associate with The Institute in 2011. She has been mentoring, teaching, and coaching students and other practitioners since 2015. Her Consulting Practice is founded in her deep compassion and respect for both animals and their caretakers, and a desire to truly and honestly “give animals a voice.” She strives for authenticity and integrity, her approach is non-judgmental, and she draws on a strong set of problem-solving and communication skills to help her clients.

Sue brings her skills, values and experience from her consulting experience to teaching and coaching other students and practitioners. She mentors students in The Gurney Institute Certification Training Program and provides private Coaching to those not in the Training Program. She’s reviewed hundreds of Case Studies for Certification students and provided detailed, insightful suggestions to help them improve their skills. Sue is Certified to teach The Institute’s 2-Day Introduction to Animal Communication Workshop, and has taught Advanced Topics to students in Japan with the International Animal Communication Institute. In addition, she’s led many of The Institute’s monthly Beginner and Advanced Student Teleconferences, which combine educational presentations with open-forum question and answer sessions.

Sue also served for many years as Vice President of the Board of Directors of The Gurney Institute, and worked extensively on The Institute’s training programs and educational offerings.

All of this has led to her greatest passion: helping others bring their own Animal Communication Skills to the highest level. Her style is compassionate, caring and supportive. She asks questions and carefully listens to understand what areas are troublesome for her students, then provides specific and realistic suggestions to overcome roadblocks and achieve each student’s goals.

Sue currently lives in the United States, Pennsylvania, in the Eastern Time Zone. If you have any questions about Consultations or Coaching, you can reach her by clicking here.
