Reiki for Animals

All animals can benefit from the gentle healing energy of Reiki

As with people, using Reiki healing with animals involves spiritual, emotional, mental and physical unblocking and rebalancing to help initiate healing responses at the root cause of concern. This can create an optimal environment in which the animal can engage its own remarkable healing process.  

Animals respond beautifully to the gentle energy of Reiki and can determine for themselves how much Reiki they want to accept and for how long.  Animals can tend to respond to Reiki in the same ways that human children do – they move around, they often connect from a distance, and they can be more comfortable with an indirect and open approach.  

When I work with animals, it is my intention to let go of “doing” and “fixing” and instead to look deeply into the heart and spirit of the animal where there is wholeness and infinite healing potential.  I go into my sessions with animals without preconceived notions of how the session should go, but I have the intention to connect with and listen to the animal and adjust the session to suit.

Find ease & comfort in life’s transitions 

Reiki is also a peaceful way to ease the transition for terminally ill animals and their humans.  Often, animals will not allow themselves to transition because they instinctively feel that their person/family is not ready to let them go.  A Reiki session with the pet and their humans can help through this difficult time by honoring the bond they share and allowing a gentle and peaceful transition.

An Animal Reiki Session can last from 30-60 minutes.  If it is not reasonable or possible to have an in-person session, distance Reiki sessions are also available. (See Remote/Distance sessions for more details.)
