Animal Reiki Sessions

Just as people can experience the incredible healing benefits of Reiki, animals can to - sometimes at an even deeper level, given their innate ability to sense energy without questioning it. In fact, animals love Reiki so much that if an animal is present in a room where Reiki is being practiced, the animal will almost always try to get the practitioner’s attention or try to participate in the Reiki session. I’ve had animals crawl into my lap, nudge my hands and arms, lick my face, rub against my legs, jump on the massage table, paw in the air, make noises, roll over and become submissive, and even strategically wiggle their head underneath my hands for healing.

Animals definitely make it known when they want Reiki. Sometimes animals are too sick, lethargic, or too near death to show these signs, and instead they will perk up a bit when hands on healing begins, or they will show a noticeable relaxation once the Reiki energy begins flowing into their bodies. Regardless of the animal’s circumstance, sensory changes are always pretty apparent. Animals wear their emotions and their hearts on their sleeves, after all.

Selecting a practitioner who is experienced in Animal Reiki is essential to guarantee you will be offering your pet the most effective hands-on healing, particularly because of the nuances of animal chakra systems.

Animals have 8 Major Chakras, 21 Minor Chakras, and 6 Bud Chakras - unlike humans, who have 7 Major Chakras, 2 Hand Chakras, and 2 Feet Chakras. The animal’s additional Major Chakra, which is the Brachial Chakra, is located near the chest, neck, forelimbs, or head (depending on the animal), and its function is to provide a focal point for animal-human bonding, connection, and healing. Since the Brachial Chakra links all other animal chakras, any healing work should always begin with this one. The 7 other Major Chakras that animals have match those of humans, and serve the exact same function (Crown, Third Eye, Throat, Heart, Solar Plexus, Sacral, Root). The 21 Minor Chakras are located throughout the animal’s body, with clusters around the nose, ears, and tail. These smaller chakras assist in the animal’s sensory abilities, or their “sixth sense,” and are subtle energy receptors. Finally, the 6 Bud Chakras are located at the animal’s 2 ear openings and at the bottom of the animal’s 4 feet - whether they be paws, hooves, pads, or otherwise, and they connect the animal to energizing and grounding Earth energy, as well as allow the animal to intuit subtle energy vibrations, like an upcoming natural disaster - such as an earthquake or major storm.

You have a choice of your pet receiving an in person Reiki session, or a remote Reiki session. Typically, my Reiki sessions are full-body and adjust all chakras, where I start at the Brachial Chakra and work my way down to the Root Chakra of the animal. But, if it’s your preference, I can focus on one particular area of the body if your pet has a chronic ailment, or has recently had an injury or a surgery.

It's also your choice of 30, 45 or 60 minute sessions for your pet, depending on availability.

As prerequisites for any treatment, I do ask that all pets be vaccinated, adequately trained, non-wild, good-natured, and on a leash or harness held by the owner. I reserve the right to cancel any Animal Reiki Session and deny a refund if the above criteria are not met, or if the scenario would put myself, my client, or my client’s pet in any danger.

A travel fee is required, billed at the same hourly rate as my sessions, and based on the travel time I incur while traveling to the animal whether it is kept in a home, sanctuary, rescue, barn, pasture, or distant location. Please do not travel with your animals to my office!!! I must keep my office clean of animal fur and dander for my sensitive clients, and often times it is best to give animals energy healing in the comfort of their own familiar living spaces so that they are more receptive to relaxing and absorbing the healing.

Important note: Animal Reiki Sessions should not be used in place of seeking professional veterinary care if your animal is experiencing a life threatening emergency or otherwise serious illness or injury. It can be used, however, to aid in your pet’s healing and to supplement a major treatment - like after a chemotherapy session for cancer.
