A Reiki session helps relax the body and supports the facilitation of healing on all levels for animals, in much the same way that it works for humans. The energy is gentle, noninvasive, yet powerful and works safely in conjunction with other forms of healing, both veterinary medicine

and holistic.

Reiki can effectively address any issue an animal may face: physical or mental/emotional. It goes directly to the origin of the problem, even if it is not known, or results from something in the animal’s past, so it can be used in any situation, including shelter/rescue animals whose pasts are not known.

Reiki can do no harm and will not give more to the recipient than they are open to receive. It is not something “done” to the animal; the animal will accept as much energy as he/she is comfortable with.

Reiki fosters a special connection between practitioner and animal so they become partners in the healing process. Animals tend to be energetically sensitive, and are generally understanding and receptive to Reiki when it is offered to them.

The end-of-life stage is also peacefully supported by Reiki. It can facilitate emotional healing and acceptance during this time, for both the animal and its person/family.
