In this episode of Colorado Soul Stories, long-time Colorado resident and host Mama Jill takes us on a journey with Ana Maria Vasquez, a multi-sensory intuitive who communicates with animals and nature. Recorded in the serene environment of Nathrop, Colorado, Ana Maria shares her transformative life journey from losing everything in the 2008 recession to discovering her unique connection with nature and her role as an animal communicator.

From tales of manifesting love intentionally to her work with global clients, Ana Maria’s story is one filled with surprising revelations, all set against the beautiful backdrop of Colorado's landscapes.

The episode also sheds light on practical ways to connect with nature's energies, whether through grounding, earthing, or the creation of sacred spaces like medicine wheels. Dive into this soulful storytelling that explores personal transformation and the power of nature's unseen communication.
