Profile
Hi, I’m Mika Tanahashi.
Animal Communicator & Reiki Healer
I’m so glad you are here.
As a Professional Animal Communicator and Healer, my role is to help animals express their voice and communicate their needs, in order to create harmony between them and their pet parents.
Whilst I act like an interpreter between animals and their humans, I do so much more. I also mediate and negotiate (if necessary) between both parties, so they understand each other and can create a happy, healthy home.

Reiki Master
I’m also a Reiki Master, which means I can provide healing to pets.
Reiki is a form of energy healing which helps not only to heal any physical and/or emotional concerns, but gives animals comfort and relaxation.
What’s more, I understand that it is also important that pet parents stay healthy, happy and grounded for their animals too. That’s why I offer healing services to pet parents as well.

Mika’s Story
I was born and bred in Japan, and it was there that my passion for animals started and took me on this very special journey.
In my childhood, I had a dog, birds, and a hamster. I loved every one of them and considered them as my special friends. But little did I know, that the heart-to-heart connections I had with these animals as a child, were my first experience of animal communication.
I was communicating with animals and intuitively understanding them, without even realizing what I was doing.

The Turning Point
The real catalyst for why I do this work today, was my beloved honey yellow Labrador, Funny.
She changed my world and opened the doors to Animal Communication for me. I truly believe Funny is my “twin soul”, because the connection I have with her, is unlike that I’ve had with any other animal or person, for that matter.
Funny taught me that unconditional love and mutual understanding between different species is possible. She was in my world for 16.5 wonderful years – but sadly, not long enough.
When Funny departed, it changed my life entirely. I decided to pack my bags and travel to Sydney Australia, where I reside today.

Life Is Full Of Surprises!
As I finally made my wish to become a certified Animal Communicator come true, another wish became reality. As a birthday gift, another beautiful bundle of joy came into my life! Joyous (known as Jo Jo) is a ginger cat who has become the happiness and joy of my life. He is nothing like Funny in looks, but he certainly shares some similarities in personality. I’m so happy to have him by my side as my journey as a Professional Animal Communicator and Healer continues.
Why Choose Mika As Your Animal Communicator and Reiki Healer?

Communicating with animals and with children are very similar. It is very natural for me to connect with children as I have a teaching degree and worked as a teacher both in early childhood and primary school. This has become my great asset as I stepped into the world of Animal Communication.

Having an animal of my own, and working as a healing volunteer as well as working closely with a local dog business, I encounter and communicate with animals with different needs, personalities, and situations on a daily basis.

My role as a certified Animal Communicator involves mediating and negotiating with animals, which requires the skills to maintain their interest and engagement in the communication. Using the asset that I acquired during my teaching career, I facilitate and guide them throughout the conversation by creating a safe space for them to open up and express their voice.

Working With Community

Monika’s Doggie Rescue
I believe it takes a community to create the world where animals are treated with respect. That is why working as a volunteer healer is an important part of my life. I have been working at Monika’s Doggie Rescue giving healing to their resident dogs and cats on weekly basis. Seeing these wonderful animals responding to the healing is such a rewarding experience.

A Dog’s Lifestyle
In order to create society where animals and humans live in harmony, it is also important to work closely with local animal business such as A Dog’s Lifestyle. I work very closely with them to help and assist dogs and their pet parents in the local community.

Million Paws Walk
This event is organised by the RSPCA. From 2021 to 2025, my cat Joyous and I have taken part to support animals in need and to stand against animal cruelty. Sadly, this event closed its doors in 2025, but the memories, connections, and impact it created continue to live on.
It is my heartfelt wish that through my work, I can help create a society where animals are treated with respect and compassion, and where humans and animals live together in harmony.
I believe that events like this play an important role in raising awareness about how we can peacefully co-exist with all living beings.
To see the moments we shared and the memories we made throughout this event, feel free to visit my Instagram or Facebook page.

My Health Pantry
I also work closely with a local shop called My Health Pantry, located in the Ryde and Rhodes area (Sydney, Australia). If you're nearby and prefer an in-person session but aren't comfortable with a home visit, this is a great alternative. We can meet in the shop’s private consultation room for your session. Please note that Animal Communication and Animal Healing sessions are conducted using photos only, due to certain rules and restrictions. If you'd like to book any of the sessions I offer, feel free to contact me or the shop.

K9 FUNdamentals
Dog behaviour issues are one of the most common reasons pet parents reach out to me.
Sometimes these behaviours are rooted in emotional or energetic imbalances, and other times they stem from a lack of clear communication or consistent training. To provide well-rounded and effective support, I collaborate closely with K9 FUNdamentals — one of the most sought-after dog training professionals in Auckland, New Zealand.
K9 FUNdamentals shares a gentle, positive-reinforcement-based approach that aligns beautifully with my work in Animal Communication and Reiki healing. Our partnership allows us to address both the emotional and behavioural aspects of a dog’s well-being, offering deeper insight and more lasting outcomes for the whole family.
Whether your dog is struggling with reactivity, anxiety, separation stress, or simply needs help with basic manners, this collaborative approach ensures you receive guidance that is compassionate, practical, and tailored to your dog’s individual needs.
K9 FUNdamentals also offers online consultations for those living outside of Auckland, making this support accessible no matter where you are.
If you'd like to know more about how we work together or whether this may be suitable for your dog, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
