A mother who claims she can talk to trees has said people need to listen to her as the plants are sending an 'important message' about climate change.
Ruby Deevoy, who is from London but now lives in Scotland, claims to be able to have a proper conversation with trees but admits that most of the time, the chats are brief.
The mother-of-one, who is a journalist and science writer, also insisted she has the ability to communicate with the moon, the stars and some animals.
She said: 'The one thing they all share is that they want to help.
'Many indigenous elders around the world are also saying at the moment that the trees and plants are talking to each other.
'They are trying to come up with ways to help us through the planetary crisis we face.

Ruby continued: 'Communicating with nature is something humans have always done, but most people in the UK have become disconnected from this ability.
'It's really important we re-kindle this connection now.'
In order to be open to converse with nature, Ruby said she has to be in the right head space.
Her unique ability seems to shut off when she is at work, doing the shopping or caring for her young son.
But it is on solo walks with her dog that she is able to 'still her mind' and 'be in nature', allowing her to 'receive messages' from the trees.
She said: 'More often than not I have to initiate the conversation with a specific question, although not always.
'This is usually asking for guidance for myself or someone else.
'It would be overwhelming if it was constant, fortunately, they're quite respectful, although sometimes they can be quite pushy with me if they want to urgently work with someone else.
'I've had a few clamouring to get in at the same time for different people before which is quite overwhelming!'
As well as working in science journalism, Ruby runs plant and tree spirit sessions for others.
Ruby said her sessions work in a similar way to Reiki but follow ancient Celtic tradition.
She uses her voice, breathwork and sometimes, physical touch, to help others.
Her practice is all intuitive and she finds that the tree she is sharing her energy with at the time will guide her.

Ruby said: 'Some people have experienced physical and emotional pain relief, and some have experienced ancestral wound healing.
'The people I work with have visions, involuntary movements, pain relief, help moving through grief, new knowledge, extreme temperature changes, tingling, feelings like I'm physically moving them, releases, crying, laughing, falling asleep... all sorts!'
Ruby says her long-term partner is extremely supportive of her gift and has even become inspired after completing an energy session with her.
Her mother has also previously attended one of Ruby's sessions and embraces her daughter's unique ability.
Ruby discovered she could talk to plants last year, after meeting a group of people who could communicate with plant and animal spirits.
She said: 'My curiosity about trees began all the way back in 2012. My partner and I went to live with my now mother-in-law at her home in Tennessee for a while.
'She is of Cheyenne lineage, which is commonly known as native American or First Nation. Her husband was Cherokee.
'I started having incredibly vivid, often prophetic dreams and one night I dreamt that I needed to go to a specific mountain in North Carolina.
'As soon as I described them my mother-in-law knew I meant the smoky mountains.

'As I approached them, I became overwhelmed with emotion, and as we drove into the mountains I felt the urgent need to get out of the car, and then I felt it. I could feel that the mountains were alive. I could feel its heart beating.
'I could hold hands with the air as if it were a person and I had a deeply profound experience of feeling myself breathing for the trees, and the trees breathing for me.
'This was my first deep spiritual connection to nature, which stayed with me.'
After this 'deeply profound experience', Ruby worked remotely with a man who lived in Portugal and took the time to deep dive into her experiences with nature.
Ruby has been nervous to share her personal conversations with trees but finds that despite receiving negative comments, most people are very positive.
She added: 'Most people are surprisingly receptive. I think most people who are at all switched on to the magic of our world can feel that trees are conscious and powerful beings.
'There's a lot of science to back that up too.'
