The immortal series? book?

the main character has unreserved magic. she can talk to animals and she can turn into a bird i think. The immortal series comes to mind but its not that book. the primary character becomes the student of a mage and she falls in love next to him in the end. in the book she once almost died by meditate and and almost stopping her own heart beat..does that sound familiar to anyone?
does the girl turn into a bird on the series?? I remember contained by the book i read years ago the girl turned into a bird or another animal.
