I help animals heal their people using my intuitive insight in the end of life transition period and beyond.
Hello, I’m Dr. Kristin Lee Amundson-Speer (dr.klas), Retired Small Animal Veterinarian and Practice Owner turned Animal Relationship Medium.
I knew I wanted to be a veterinarian since I was 4 years old.
What I couldn’t have known back then, was that my love of animals would lead me to discover a deep love of people and, ultimately, a profound devotion to the love relationship between the two. Tending to this relationship is what I was born to do.
I received what I call my true calling during a meditation retreat in 2011 and “heard” my Purpose: “to help animals heal their people”. This surprising realization gave me a new way of looking at how I practiced medicine and helped me see the ways in which animals so deeply help their people (even when people believe that they are the ones helping their animals). Nowhere was this more important than in the End of Life period. Witnessing and supporting people and their animals through this time became one of the most meaningful and important parts of my work.
Finally, in 2019 after selling my veterinary practice and leaving clinical veterinary medicine, I embarked on the next phase of my journey and started looking at new ways of helping animals help their people. Now, combining my veterinary experience, intuitive insight and the guidance of the Wheel of Fulfillment I help distressed and grieving animal lovers reconnect with the love of their animals so that they can be present .

The Birth of the Wheel of Fulfillment
It was 3am and I was now WIDE awake.
I couldn’t see anything but the thoughts in my own head. Pictures of a wheel, a map relating the lives of animals with their people. Words, colors, orientations, and shapes flooding into my consciousness felt like a loud bell, a bucket of ice water and a triple espresso all administered at once.
Usually a person that falls easily and deeply asleep until morning, I found the night darkness puzzling especially combined with the bright images and clarity happening in my mind’s eye. I quietly padded out into the living room feeling around for my journal and a pen. Sitting in the moonlight, I started to draw images of what I was seeing in my mind’s eye, filling in words in the spaces and marveling over the connections on the page. By the time the sun was peeking over the horizon, I had a complete visual sketch of the Wheel. Feeling a sense of disbelief and wonder, I retraced my steps back to bed and snuggled in for a morning cuddle with David and Bernie.
Later that morning I went back to the wheel again surprised by what came through overnight. I made a nicer version and colored it in. I marveled at the relationship and orientation of the parts of the wheel. I was so excited, I snapped a photo of the drawing and sent it to my amazing artist friend and color medium and she created the beautiful and powerful digital version of the wheel as we know it today.
From that early morning wake up to now, I’ve been exploring the wheel in so many ways including its foundation in Pet Guided Insight Coaching, Soul Relationship Map Readings, End of Life SUPPORT and the creation of a physical Oracle Map to facilitate readings. The gifts of this wheel continue to unfold for me and the discoveries continue to surprise and delight me. I hope the Wheel also facilitates life changing realizations and heart level healing for you.
Burnside Tinkerbell aka Bernie
My heart. My joy personified. I adopted Bernie from a bully breed shelter in LA in 2011. I actually went to adopt his brother but when I arrived, he had just been adopted. Fortunately Bernie (then called Yoda) was still available. I met him and it was love at first sight! This little two pound, 8 week old puppy jumped up on everyone he met - from the giant mastiff to the old lady cat - fearless and full of joy. I knew right away that he was mine and I was his.
