What Reiki can do: Reiki provides deep relaxation and can stimulate healing, shorten healing time, reduce pain and stress, create mental balance, and improve quality of life. Reiki can never cause harm. It can be used safely in conjunction with any type of therapy or treatment; it complements but does not replace veterinary or other medical care.

How Reiki can help you and your animals: In addition to simple pure enjoyment and wonderful relaxation, I have seen Reiki work in animals to lessen anxiety, increase appetite, increase trust, decrease shyness, speed up the healing process of wounds, assist in quality of life issues and the transition period during the last stages of life, and in numerous other ways. In people, I have seen an increase in healing speed, decrease in pain, release of past emotional issues, improvement in confidence and ability, safety and protection, and more.  Click here for specific examples and more information.

Reiki Sessions

How to schedule a Reiki session. If you would like your animals to get Reiki in conjunction with a petsitting visit, simply let me know when you fill out your normal petsitting reservation form. If you want a Reiki session for yourself or your animals but do not need my petsitting services, click here.

What happens during a session. Animals will lay or sit wherever they want. People will lay fully clothed on my massage table (or will sit on a kitchen chair if that is more comfortable for them). I will place my hands on or slightly above the body in specific locations. Sensations of soothing warmth, coolness, or tingling may be felt as the receiver draws in the Reiki energy. Reiki will go wherever it is most needed. Most people feel very relaxed and may fall into a light sleep. For relaxation purposes and to facilitate healing, I may incorporate aromatherapy and/or other modalities. Animal communication often occurs during Reiki sessions (see below for more info).

Location. Animals are visited in their own home as that is where they are most comfortable. People can choose to have their session wherever they are most comfortable and where they can relax without interruption: their home or mine.

Hours. Sessions are offered by appointment only, preferably at least 7 days in advance.

Rates: People may select 30- or 60-minute sessions for themselves, which includes a few minutes for any questions that may have arisen during your session. It is best to start each animal out with Reiki at 5 or 10 minutes each, but you may increase or decrease session lengths at any time as desired or needed. If your main objective is animal communication, 60 minutes is needed for at least the first time. Use  http://www.mapquest.com/directions/ to determine travel time from my home (3468 N 77 St, Milwaukee) to yours.

How to contact me. I am only available by email, through the online reservation form, or by appointment. Out of respect, I ask that you do not call or come over without an appointment!

Classes. If you are interested in learning how to give Reiki to yourself, family, friends, and pets, please email me about scheduling a class.

Animal Attunements to Reiki

Just as people can be attuned to Reiki energy in order to assist in the healing of themselves and others, animals can as well. This is especially helpful if animals are experiencing disease or physical/emotional illness, as well as those in or near their final stages of life.

I have found it is also extremely useful to attune animals to Reiki when it is the human who is experiencing the dis-ease. Animals are natural healers but often use their own energy for that healing, which can deplete their energy and expose them to illness of their own. When they are Reiki attuned, Universal Life Force Energy flows through them for both their own highest good and the highest good of the receiver with no negative affects on the animal.

If the animal gives permission to be attuned to Reiki, it is recommended that the human attend classes to be attuned as well, although it is not required. 30 to 60 minutes is usually needed for each animal attunement.

Animal Communication

We are both the teacher and the student. Our animals chose to come into our lives for many reasons, one of which is to help us learn that which we desire to know. They are willing to teach us through their participation in our lives. Often, they act as mirrors, reflecting back to us ourselves. And sometimes, they have needs of their own they wish to communicate with us.

Is your pet trying to communicate with you but you either can't hear and/or don't understand what they're saying or are unable to effectively resolve the issue? With your pet's permission and cooperation, I am able to see, hear, and understand these messages and relay them to you. I have been given the ability to communicate on the spirit level with animals and may be of assistance with you and your animal in the communication process.

Communication generally occurs during Reiki sessions and is included in that fee (see above). Reiki/communication services can be received in conjunction with petsiting, or on their own.

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is the use of fragrant substances distilled from plants, called essential oils, to improve health and quality of life and reduce pain, stress, and depression. Please let me know if you are interested in or desire more information on this service.
