In Person Sessions
It is recommended that Reiki treatments given in person are best given at the home where the animal lives. Animals are able to relax and receive these treatments much more successfully when they are comfortable and in their own environments.
Animals respond differently to Reiki than people do. I always ask permission of the animal first before starting a treatment, and allow the animal to determine the course of their treatment.
Some are very sensitive to the energy and do not prefer hands-on. They may prefer for me to beam them energy from across the room, fill the room with energy for them, or if they can take hands-on, their time is honored for however long they can handle the energy. Others love the hands-on and are like "sponges" at taking the energy. They will also usually guide me to a position or area to work on.
Whether given directly hands-on or from across the room, treatments are equally effective. I always honor the animal's preference for their treatment.

Reiki Benefits for Animals
For animals who are healthy, Reiki helps to maintain their health, enhances relaxation, and provides an emotional sense of peace and contentment. It can also be used to provide peace and harmony among new animals.
For animals who are ill, Reiki is a wonderful healing method as well as a safe complement to Western Medicine, Chinese Medicine, homeopathy, flower essences, and all other forms of healing. For example, Reiki can reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and surgery, helping the animal to heal itself faster.
For dying animals, Reiki is a powerful yet gentle way to provide comfort, relief from pain, fear, and anxiety, and to ease the transition to death for both the animal and their people.
Reiki or any other energy healing modality, should never be used as a substitute for care from a licensed veterinarian. Always consult a veterinarian for any concerns that you might have about your pet's health and well being. Changes in your animal's behavior can be a result of pain, illness, disease, or depression. Energy Healing cannot reverse severe organ or tissue damage or degeneration - there is a time span for the physical life to end for all things.
Distance Healing Sessions
With Reiki, healing energy can be sent over a distance, using a specific symbol that we are taught as Reiki Practitioners. It recognizes no time or place. It can be sent for the past, present, and future. Some consider it as a form of prayer, connecting our souls essence to another soul essences being. It can be used:
- For an animal that may be too far away or is not close enough to quickly schedule an appointment.
- To go back and heal a traumatic experience that your animal has had in the past, such as abuse.
- Can be used for a future situation that might be stressful or traumatic for your animal, such as a vet visit.
- Can be preferable to hands-on treatments in some instances, such as some animals may be extremely small, fearful of strangers, old and fragile, or close to death and may be better able to relax and absorb Reiki at a distance.
- Healing family situations that may involve the transition of your animal and in helping its human companions finding peace in theanimals death.
Distance treatments are also quick to schedule in emergency situations. Similarly, if an animal seems to be coming down with something or needs additional support between treatments, distant healing will provide what is needed.
