Gabriela Castillo "Gabi" is a sexy, red headed, ball of energy! This healer transforms the lives of those who come in contact with her. She is also known as a good "luck charm", because after spending a few minutes with her people see their "luck" change for the better. Good things start to happen and right now, we can all use a bit of luck!

Please explain what it is you do.
My name is Gabriela Castillo and I am an energetic healer with psychic/empathic/medium abilities.  My sessions are 45 minutes long.  Thirty minutes of healing work and a 15 minute debrief on their healing experience.  I work primarily over the phone with both people (adults & children) and animals (domestic & wild). I facilitate positive energy frequencies that help bring transformation and balance to my clients on all levels.  When I facilitate these frequencies part of a client’s "healing experience" maybe me and/or them getting psychic information. I also have medium abilities in speaking with people & animals who have crossed over.  This is part of healing as there may be important messages my client needs to hear to help them transform their lives for the better.

Can you share an extraordinary story with us that you experienced first hand in your healing practice?

This is a human client: I worked with a person who was very ill.  It looked like they could pass on.  I worked with them and within days their condition changed so radically for the positive that the doctors where baffled.  The person who was also in financial difficulty also found employment and things greatly improved for them.

This is an animal client: I worked with a horse who was born with feet that bled.  The owner did not believe in what I do but this was a last attempt to not euthanize the horse.  It is a very painful condition.  The horse could barely walk much less stand.  It was in so much pain that the it was aggressive to almost every living thing that came near them.  During the first session the horse made VERY strange and radical movements for a horse.  The owner and trainer could hear chiropractic adjustments happening. The owner being connected to the horse felt her Rheumatoid Arthritis go away as well as tingling in her entire body.  The horses feet stopped bleeding, calluses formed, it’s personality completely changed to sweet and loving. The horse was walking well, medications where also more than cut in half and at one point were no longer needed.

Can you tell us some other problems, illness and aliments people contact you about?

People come to me for help with challenges such as emotional issues which includes depressions, addictions, bipolar disorder etc, chronic diseases, injuries, chronic pain, difficulty with personal relationships, needing guidance with career and work issues.  Another aspect of my practice is when people work with me their own psychic gifts "wake up" and they find themselves perceiving more than they ever have than with just their "normal senses.

Working with animals is similar.  People (owners/trainers) asking me to "fix" the animal companion in their lives.  What they come to see is that human and animal have to work together to shift issues.  What I do goes beyond animal communication and more than just emotional and physical healing.  My work creates transformation in how animals are perceived, communicated with and treated by their human caretakers.  My work also "wakes up" each person’s own gifts to communicate with their animals.  People say that after working with me they were able to effectively communicate with their animals on their own.

In addition to all that I have also helped with "healing" paranormal disturbances.  I see everything as a lesson.  If a person or family is having trouble with ghosts there is something to be learned there and yes, it is an unusual lesson but there non the less.  I have effectively help people in this way as well.

You mentioned getting psychic information, are you psychic?
Yes, but in the terms of my healing practice.  I never know what I am going to get.  Sometimes I get tons of psychic information and other times it is more about the energy healing.  It’s about what each person/animal needs for their transformation and healing.  That’s not something I control…something bigger than me is at the helm!

What is that biggest goal you have with your healing/psychic work?
First, is to get energetic healing/psychic work as a "normal" part of everyone’s healthcare. Second, by doing this it will allow people to see how we are all connected-all species and the planet itself and that things can be done differently so that business, governments, people prosper but not at the expense of all other life on the planet which includes the planet its self.

Can you give our Psychic 4 U readers advice on how they can learn to become healers too?
That’s a complicated question.  First, find a healer/psychic to work with who is credible!  As with any profession there are those more talented than others so choose wisely.  Second, working with a healer will open you up to the possibilities of how your gifts can work for you in what you love to do.  Not everyone is meant to be a healer like me but if you learn how to use your psychic gifts (and all people have them to varying degrees) you can help make your life better as well as that of every person/animal you encounter.  The first healer/psychic should be able to guide you in this.  It’s exactly what I do for my clients.

Where can people find out more about you?

We are on a role here at Psychic4u !  Today we are please to include our second interview with a psychic and are glad that Melissa Becelar was able to answer a few questions.

Before I begin, I would like to say that I used to have a pet cat named Juniper.  He was 18 and died last year in the spring time.  Unfortunately he got a small cancerous tumor on his tongue and it got so bad to the point where he could not really eat any food correctly so it was not right to let him suffer anymore.  He was a really good cat though.

I will never forget that last walk he took out the front door.  I must have let him out that front door 100,000 times. He would always go through the same routine.  He would walk to the end of the stone covered path and then stop and pause at the driveway.  Then he had to decide if he wanted to walk into the woods towards the right or stay left and go into the garden and backyard.  This time he chose the garden and the backyard.  I watched him walk towards the garden and then he stopped and turned to the right only briefly.  He was looking towards the area in the garden that I had dug out for his burial place.  It was almost as if he knew what was going to happen later on that day.  Till this day that image of him walking out the door and on that path will forever be etched in my mind.  It is like two roads diverged in the wood and he took the one less traveled by.  That was the choice he made every day.

I can honestly say that he really was my best friend.  And I think many people feel that way about their pets as well.  Pets are a unique gift and have the same magic as any other life form on this great earth.  They embody everything the universe had when it was first being created from a tiny spec of dust and so they are our brothers and sisters as well as good friends.

And now, onto our interview with Mellissa…

1. I know you’re an animal communicator what else do you do?

I am an actress, model, producer, super hero and business owner. I own two companies The Network Studio and The Actors Source. They help actors across the world meet with people that can hire them for film and TV.  I am looking for another job if you know of any openings!  Kidding…

2. If you’re an actress and business owner what made you decided to become an animal psychic? Was there anything specific or significant that happened?

I don’t really think I decided to become an animal communicator. It seems to have chosen me. I was on this radio where I was talking about my eight dogs and educating people on adopting dogs as opposed to buying them. 1 millions of dogs die each year because they are homeless. My mission is to make people aware of this, it wasn’t to read animals! The host said let’s take a few calls and read their animals. Stunned, shocked and nervous I said “OK.” I didn’t know what I was doing, but I was able to accurately read their pet, tell what they looked like and more just from a caller calling in!

Most of my time is spent doing animal rescue work and I am always trying to gain the trust of abused dogs or another creature.  When you are trying to gain the trust of a being who doesn’t understand the language you speak, you need to find other ways to communicate.  I always have been really connected to animals. Many of my friends are psychics and healers and they would always tell me I had gifts but I just thought it was a strong connection.  In the past year or so after that show I started to really work on it.  It’s a huge benefit. It’s like being able to speak another language.

3. Are you an animal communicator, animal psychic or both? What is the difference?

A pet psychic is a person who can see the animals past, potential future or the future of a situation. I use this ability when deciding if a home is fit for a dog. If I get a bad sense or see something traumatic happening I listen to myself and continue looking for a home I feel good about. I guess on occasion I have told a dog I see a juicy steak in their future. They usually love that.  When I communicate with a dog they tell me what is going on, what they want and what they want their owners to know.  That is actually what is funny.  The animal is telling me what they want not what is best for them which gets confusing for their human partners sometimes!  Also, animals tell me things about their humans. Often when an animal is acting out and behaving badly it is because their owner is having an emotional melt-down.  All in all I would say both.

3. What is the strangest animal you have worked with?

I don’t find animals strange.  I find their humans strange a lot of the times.  Animals are instinctual, funny and just do what they want.  Their people are the ones that make me laugh! If I had to pick though, I’d say a snake. It was strange, because I had to do it over the phone I can’t do them in person. They make me a little nervous, but I love them just the same as any other creature.

4. How do you communicate with animals? How does it work?

Every animal is a little different. Some show me pictures and images of what is around.

Most of them let me pick up on their feelings both emotional and physical.  On occasion I will get an animal that talks like a human.  I tend to feel them in my whole body and I often humanize them.  I guess the actress in me takes over.  Sometimes I catch my self flipping my hair back with my head when I am talking to a horse. Things like that.

5. How can my Psychic 4 U readers learn to communicate with animals? Is there an exercise your recommend?

If you get pictures of things or you think you know what your pet is feeling then listen to it. Write it down and you might see a pattern. When he looks at me like this, I feel he is in pain and so on. Then you might see he is limping or walking around less than he usually and you’ll know you picked up on something. Chances are if you have an animal you are already doing it.  Just focus on their energy, close your eyes, be quiet and you will here a little voice saying "SNAUSAGES"…

6.  Are there any TV shows or programs airing featuring you and animals?

I am going to be on “It’s Me or the Dog” with my 8 dogs this season.  You can see me on the commercial if you watch animal planet!  I also have several shows in development and I have a new column in The American Dog Magazine called "Dear Melissa"  I am like a Dear Abby for Doggies.

7. Where can people learn more about who you are and what you do? Is there a website?

I own a lot of websites, but the one that is all about my animal communication is: 

http://www.celebritypetcommunicator.com/

This site will update everyone on the airing of my Animal Planet episode, my interviews like this one on Psychic 4 U, my paranormal radio guest appearances and red carpet charity events that I attend! There will also be a place on my site to donate to animal charities soon. Some of the charities I work with are Animal Acres, West Coast Mastiff Rescue and Best Friends. The other websites I have are just me in bikinis wearing tons of makeup…I am sure no one wants to see those.
