I’m not taking in new clients at this time!
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese meditative spiritual practice that promotes overall well-being on emotional, mental, spiritual and physical levels. The word “Reiki” means “Spiritual Energy”, “True Self”, or my favorite translation - “the Spark of your Innermost Being”. This spark helps us live in accordance and harmony with our true nature, and helps embody happiness, peace, loving-kindness and compassion in the world.
What is Animal Reiki?
Animal Reiki is a spiritual healing practice that helps animals to self-heal, relax and rebalance their energy. Generally, healthy and happy animals feel and radiate Reiki energy so much better than us humans. You can say that most of the time, animals live in the Reiki space. It’s mainly when animals are stressed, sick or injured, that they become energetically “out of balance”, and can really use a helping hand. When an animal is in a relaxed peaceful state, their body can return to a state of health and vitality.
What does an Animal Reiki session look like?
As an Animal Reiki Practitioner, I’ll create a safe healing space of Reiki energy using special tools and techniques, and then I’ll invite your animal(s) to join in. They can connect in any way they choose and feel comfortable with. Animals are always an charge, they know what they need! If your animal is shy and fearful, a remote session might be the best option (more info below).
I’m a proud Practitioner and Teacher of the Let Animals Lead® method created by my amazing teacher Kathleen Prasad. In this method, we don’t use hand positions, like Human Reiki practitioners do. Instead of connecting with our hands, we connect with our hearts. We let the animals lead the session with compassion and respect, and we only use touch if it’s initiated by the animal. We see them as our partners in this healing experience and recognize them as our teachers, allowing them the ability to guide the session and get as much or as little energy as they want, in whatever way they choose to. If they decide they want to sit on my (or your!) lap – that’s perfectly fine! If they want to be petted and try to show me where they want to be touched – I’ll follow their lead! If they want to hide under a couch - that’s ok too. Whatever works for them, works for me! Usually you will experience some very special moments during the Reiki treatment, and it could be different with each animal. They open up, they blossom! It might not happen on the first session, but in my experience, it always happens sooner or later.
An Animal Reiki session typically lasts for 30-45 mins, depending on the animal(s) and flow of the energy.
Do you offer remote Animal Reiki sessions?
Yes, I do! Remote sessions are just as good as in-person visits with the same healing benefits. Often they are preferred for:
fearful, shy, easily stressed animals
for some elderly, ill or injured animals
animals who don’t feel comfortable with strangers in the house
wild animals who are generally not comfortable with people in close proximity
animals at a vet clinic or boarding facility

How many sessions will my animal companion need?
Most animals require more than one treatment, that’s why we created convenient packages to address different situations that will also allow you to save some money!
Even a single Reiki session can bring great benefits to your furbaby, it could be great for situations like moving to a new home, introducing new family members, recovering from a stressful event, healing after a surgery, giving birth, etc.!
In those situations where your animal companion is struggling emotionally or physically, such as having difficult health, emotional or behavioral issues, it’s best to offer Reiki in a series of 3-5 treatment sessions, preferably done over 1 week. It’s ok to mix and match remote and in-person sessions, if needed.
