A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Hailey McNichols.
I’ve always been someone who listens. To animals. To energy. To what is felt but not always spoken. Resonant Wild Hooves was formed from that listening and from a deep respect for the emotional worlds animals carry.
I work with dogs, cats, and horses through intuitive energy reads, sound therapy, and LAL Reiki. My sessions support nervous system balance, emotional regulation, and a deeper sense of safety. My approach is slow and gentle and guided by the animal. Nothing is forced. Everything is an invitation.
I believe animals are wise and sensitive beings who respond deeply to their environments, relationships, and transitions. When something feels off, it is often not something to correct. It is something to understand.
How I Work
Sessions unfold quietly and intuitively. I listen to the animal’s energy and heart field and allow space for what wants to be shared, released, or softened. Sound and Reiki are offered as supportive tools that help the body and nervous system remember ease.
This work often supports animals who are moving through anxiety, emotional sensitivity, or big life changes. It can be helpful for animals carrying past experiences that still linger, animals deeply bonded with their humans, or animals who simply want to feel more settled and present in their bodies.
I also hold space for the human side of the relationship, too. Animals do not live in isolation and neither does healing. Often clarity and connection ripple both ways.
What Matters to Me
Consent, presence, and gentleness.
Animals are never asked to perform or fix anything. Sessions meet them exactly where they are. I trust their timing, their communication, and their innate wisdom.
This work is meant to complement veterinary or behavioral care by offering a holistic layer of emotional and energetic support.
Why I Do This
Because animals give us everything. Their trust. Their sensitivity. Their hearts. They deserve to be met with patience, curiosity, and deep respect.
Resonant Wild Hooves exists to help animals feel heard and to help humans listen with more clarity and compassion.

Energy Work
Energy blocks often manifest in fear, anxiety, and other unwanted behaviors. Read below to learn how we can help bring you and your horse back into rhythm.
Sound Therapy​
Vibrations help restore the movement of energy in the nervous system, as stagnant energy can cause symptoms of disassociation, pain, or illness. This dissonance, or disconnect, means energy is not moving as it should. The goal of sound therapy is to reach a place of resonance, or proper energy flow. To bring your animal back to a sense of calm and relaxation. As animals have highly sensitive hearing tuned to detect subtle environmental sounds, I utilize specific frequencies and vibrations to soothe, which can aid in recovery from physical and emotional issues.​
Intuitive Animal Communication
An intuitive consultant tunes into the energy and behavior of animals to gain deeper insights into their emotional and physical wellbeing. This practice involves using intuition to understand what an animal may be communicating nonverbally, such as stress, anxiety, or discomfort. The consultant may also look at how the dog’s behavior mirrors challenges in the owner’s life, offering guidance to help both the animal and its human better understand each other. They can provide insight into issues like behavioral problems, stress, or health concerns, but they do not diagnose medical conditions.
My work as an intuitive consultant focuses on helping clients understand what their animals may be reflecting about their lives, with an emphasis on how the bond between them offers personal insights and healing opportunities for the owner. ​
Let Animals Lead Reiki
As a certified Let Animals Lead® (LAL) Reiki Level 2 practitioner, I specialize in a gentle, mindful approach to animal healing that honors each animal’s space and natural healing abilities. My sessions are non-invasive, and I work alongside animals by offering them the opportunity to participate in their healing process at their own pace. Through Reiki, I help foster a sense of peace, balance, and relaxation, which can support emotional and physical wellbeing. My practice is rooted in creating a safe and compassionate space where animals and their humans can connect more deeply.
The above services can be utilized individually or together and in a combination of in-person and distant sessions
"Working with Hailey has brought peace, mindfulness, and healing to my relationship with my new horse. She helped me tune into my own emotions when I'm in the barn and to connect more deeply with my horse. I'm reminded to take a moment to slow down and communicate as a partner. Will be utilizing her services for years to come! Hailey is kind, compassionate, and patient. She helps facilitate a deep level of healing for both horse and owner."

“Hailey is really gifted… she was able to tap into my dog’s (Nala) experiences so well and knew so much about her. I felt so comfortable asking questions and talking to Hailey. It was an amazing reading and I feel like I’m more in tune with Nala now. I would definitely have another reading with Hailey in the future!!!"

"I had an Intuitive reading with Hailey McNichols and I'm so glad I did! I was worried about how my little Marshmallow was doing and she gave me feedback that rang so true and really made me feel comfortable and at ease with her meaningful input. Hailey truly has a gift and I'm so thankful for the information she provided to me! "

“Dog Mom To The Rescue” is the person you want to communicate with or care for your animal companions. Hailey is kind and knowing and has a quirky playfulness about her that the animals respond to, they just love being around her. She listens intuitively to their needs and fearlessly shares to pet owners what their animal companions want them to know. She took my animal communication class in early 2023 and immediately I recognized her natural ability to intuitively connect. She bridged a connection with one of my cats and he told her his favorite toy and where to find it. I was awed because this was only her first time in class, now that’s pretty impressive! I highly recommend Hailey for your dog walking, cat care or animal communication needs!
