I've been wanting to write you ever since I bought your beautiful book a month ago. I feel my life has been transformed in ways far beyond what I could have imagined. Your book rang so true to what I'd always known and experienced, but not allowed myself to believe in, that I realized I'd been dismissing a huge part of my intelligence. I am now committed to learning all I can on the subject of intuition and energy healing, and I feel a peace of mind and self acceptance I've never felt before. This has even affected my relationship with my 2 1/2 year old daughter, which had been an exhausting struggle since her birth. I'm now delighting in her company, and am looking forward to us spending more time with my three horses. She loves animals more than anything, and I'm very thankful that I now have such clear and valuable teachings to pass along to her. I ordered your second book and greatly look forward to receiving it. Much appreciation for the work you're doing!

I just wanted to send you a note to thank you for the help you gave me by contacting my beloved dogs, Bandit and Hayley who left me last October. Your words gave me so much peace. You were right about Hayley, I learned that her blood clot was in her left lung just as you had told me.I still miss Bandit and Hayley more than I can put into words but feel as though they guided me in rescuing 3 new dogs that desperately needed homes and love. In a way I feel as though I have 5 dogs now as just as you said, Bandit and Hayley are with me here too, just in a different way.Thank you again for sharing your gift. I have included some pictures of my best friends.

I just want to thank you and say how wonderful your class was! You make it seem so simple and natural. I loved it!! It validated a lot of what I have been feeling all my life and was uncomfortable with. Thank you again.

I contacted you about 6 weeks ago regarding my 2 year old golden that was fighting with my 11 year old golden with Cancer. I wanted to let you know that he has been amazing since you spoke to him. There has been no fights, when my older guy growls at him he turns around and walks the other way (any other time he would have pounced on him and fought with him). I cannot thank you enough for helping our golden family get along so well.

My dog was found this morning, emaciated and dehydrated, but still alive. I'm sending the map with a circle of approximately where he was hiding. He was inside a water treatment plant (the empty area on the map) and there is a smoke stack inside the plant. You were dead on in that he was hiding around an old rail car. The rail tracks he saw, were down Eagle Street (behind the plant), but they are old streetcar tracks. So when you said track and rail cars I thought of the train tracks to the Northwest. Mr. T was telling us where he was, I was just not smart enough to figure it out. Thank God I took a flyer to the plant, employees of the plant saw him and called.

I have had contact with other Animal Communicators off and on through out the years but I have never encountered anyone who could utilize a map to give directions the way you did. Right after we read your last email where you said to look on the other side of the freeway my husband left to check it out. I had searched the North side of the freeway from River Road to within a 1/4 mile of that area the first morning after I talked to you and I had also earlier that morning and the day before that - parked my car on the south side of the freeway - right across from the area you asked us to search. That area is a popular spot for sportsman and I had seen several cars parked over there the day before. We were giving up on the idea of finding him alive so I had asked Bill to take some posters to put up with the theory that maybe some hunters or fishermen would find his body and let us know. I will never forget when I heard the door open and I heard Bill yell that he found Tongass. I thought he had found his body ...... then I heard the rattle of dog tags and in hopped Tongass dragging his back left leg! Not sure if Tongass was so frightened that he had hidden from the people I had seen over there or if he had been unconscious from the accident ..... but we found him only 200 feet or so from those cars and only about 150 yards from where I had been parking my car. He had surgery last week (Femoral Head Ostectomy) and this week we are starting the ROM exercises.

I have been meaning to write to you about Beauty to thank you for the work you did with her and us. Shortly after your session, maybe a week or two I noticed she became much more visibly responsive to me. She wagged her tail a lot more and just seemed to open up and feel more relaxed and at home with us. I think this helped me too, because something seemed to lift (like a rain cloud) when the sun shines through. She wags her tail all the time now and responds to her name and our voices when we talk to her; she is also very willing to go in the car now and walks off leash very well. We are so happy with her, we love her so much. Thank you again, for your work.

Thanks for confirming what I learn from Bear. He always seems to be in such a good mood after you chat with him so I know he likes you and enjoys someone who can understand him. It seems to be easier to "hear" him now that he is happy. The new dressage trainer says he is loaded with talent, but I never thought so because he was never relaxed. I can feel Bear trying to figure things out now and when he does, he still has to do his "happy dance" that I always thought was disobedience.

Hi Marta! Just thought I would give you an update on the kitties! WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! Thank you so much for talking with them last month. There is a world of difference in their behavior. Once Sabrina let Gatsby out of the den he has yet to go back in except to use the litter box. He keeps an eye out for Sabrina, as he should, but he's his own man now! Sabrina still has some very bossy moments with him, but Gatsby handles it well, and I know Sabrina is trying. It is so hard for her not to be in total control. She seems to get the most controlling in the evening, must be a prowling kitty thing! Anyway, things are 90% better, in my book anyway.

I loved your book, and I know it will be one I read over and over again. I have now gone back to do the exercises and such. I think it would be so special to be able to communicate with animals and nature. I know my animals, including the outside guys, duck, birds, water birds, otters and such that I talk to, all the time, understand me, .but I think I am at the stage of second guessing and disbelieving myself as to what I think I hear or feel. I won't give up though - one day I'll get there.

Yes, Marta, you are right about Spider's past. As far as I know he has been abused a lot in his short life. When I got him he looked dreadful: wounds, scars and such sad eyes!! Thanks again for contacting Spider. You made my day!

I wanted to thank you for the help you gave to us regarding Gracie the African Grey, last night during the special event on the James Van Praagh Chatline. She seems much more relaxed today, with the drape off the back of her cage, allowing more light as you suggested. Our thinking was that she felt insecure and needed a protected area of her cage in which to retreat. We never realized that it blocked out needed light!

Just thought you would want to know that I took Hannah for ring training today and was super apprehensive about how she would react to a ring full of other dogs. I explained to her beforehand exactly what would happen and was absolutely stunned at how good she was. She stood her ground when two males started fighting and even when the same males (who are super dog aggressive) lashed out at her. I kept telling her that I would protect her and nothing bad would happen to her and each time there was some kind of altercation I stood forward so she could see I was protecting her. She didn't even react. It was incredible. When all was said and done, I told her how proud I was of her and what a great job she did. If you saw her trotting around the ring you would never know she had issues. Thanks for your reading. Obviously, it helped. I never thought I would be able to show this girl with this much ease and I was determined that if it was too traumatic for Hannah that we wouldn't do it. Onward and upward.

A couple of weeks ago you did a reading for me with Red, my red tabby kitty (more like a small lion than a cat, I always think...) and I wanted to give you some feedback. Almost immediately he began returning to his old trusting self. We have recovered our pre-vet-crisis relationship and he is back to hanging around with me during the daytime, asking for backrubs when the sun is warm, and enjoying physical affection from me again. I wanted you to know I saw very positive results and that I deeply appreciate your gift and the way you make it available.

Montana's foot turned out to be an abscess. We had the farrier out like you suggested and he found the problem right away. Also, the three of them are getting along much better since your last talk with them. I also keep stressing I want them to be a herd. All three of them will graze in the pasture together. Woody and Lakota were also nibbling on each others backs like other horses do (which I never thought I would see Woody doing with another horse). They are all great boys and I love them very much. Thanks for all your help.

I found Pepper and Gala Saturday night around 8:00 p.m. They were exhausted, thirsty and hungry. Gala seems none the worse for wear. Pepper is limping and may be suffering digestive upset. She is going to the vet tonight for a checkup. Marta, you ROCK! when it comes to geography. The woman who was able to cajole Pepper into her house lives about 1.5 miles north and 5 to 6 miles east of where they got away. MANY THANKS for your help.

And finally, I want to thank animal communicator Marta Williams, who has a talent, if I may quote the Baltimore Sun, 'which exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exists.' I thought I was pretty aware about horses and their care before, but this shows there is always more to discover.

Excerpt from the article, A "Bad" Horse Or One In Pain?, in the Whole Horse Journal, January/February 1999.

I am sure you hear this all the time, but you are a Godsend. Tequila and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You were right on - he had a rib out on his left side. The chiropractor had a heck of a time getting it back in, but he did. I gave Tequila some time off because he was sore from putting the rib back. I rode him yesterday with no trouble - he was his old self. He is listening to me, to my words, better than ever. It is so wonderful to really know for sure that he can understand me. I told him I would never sell him and he would always be taken care of. He was eating at the time and as I was telling him he came over to me and put his head in my arms and then went back to eating. Without a doubt, I knew he understood.

I just wanted to thank you again for your excellent training and your heart felt caring. I worked on talking with a friend's dog recently and was amazed at how strongly I felt the animal's energy and how I could actually decipher the energy I felt in my heart into words. I am thrilled.

Enlarge Photo Thank you for helping me make the first steps on the road to a better world in which people will realize they aren't the masters of nature but a part and on an equal level with the animals and plants. This class made me realize that even I can get in contact with the "illogical" side of my brain. You tempered my critic and you have succeeded in cracking this 'tough nut'.
