Shalini Israni — Pet Loss Grief Coach

About Me

Hi, I'm Shalini.

I rescued my soul dog, Kahlua, when he was 3 months old. I raised him and loved him for over 13 years. When I lost him, the devastation and isolation was like nothing I have ever felt. From this pain and my journey through it, came "Letters to my Soul Dog", my book; but also a strong resolve to never let another pet parent feel this lost and alone in their grief. Kahlua is showing me my purpose from the beyond - to help other people through the very disenfranchised, and minimized, pain of Pet Loss that has very little recognition and support. So I am happy you're here, reaching for some, and trusting me with your journey.
