Animal Reiki
Animal Reiki is a gentle energy healing practice that connects with the natural intuition animals have towards energy. Animals are highly sensitive to energy and often understand its flow better than humans, making them naturally receptive to Reiki. They enjoy receiving this calming, balancing energy, which can help reduce stress, promote healing, and enhance their overall well-being. Reiki can be done from a distance, allowing the animal to receive the benefits without the need for physical contact, which can be especially useful for shy or anxious animals. Distance Reiki helps create a safe, comfortable space for animals to heal in their own time.
Just ust like Energy healing for humans it is NOT MEANT TO BE USED IN PLACE OF A VET'S CARE OR TREATMENTS! It can be used to complement whatever your professional has recommended. Almost all sessions are done virtually via facetime not in person. (See below).
The animals seem to really accept this energy especially since it is a different frequency, but there are times when they might reject it. If this does happen You (the owner/caretaker) can do a session for yourself. I have worked with dogs, cats, horses and have yet to find one that wasn't open to receiving the energy (Please see Krome,Onyx and Mikki's stories below). Once the energy is flowing I will be observing their behavior for things like yawns, twitching, sneezing/coughing, swallowing, stomach gurgling etc. these are all behaviors that they might exhibit when releasing/healing.
Why From A Distance?
The animal remains in familiar surroundings:
If an animal is sick or scared traveling to a strange place for a Reiki session may not be the best idea.
The animal is already with familiar human(s): A sick or scared animal may not respond appropriately to a stranger, even if the session is in their own home.
The animal is more relaxed and receptive: A calm animal with be more open and willing to receive the energy. It is always important to connect with the anima and ask permission to share Reiki with them.
Provides convenience and comfort for the animal's caregiver: A distance session does not require the preparation that is needed for one that is in-person. Therefore, an animal session can be done at anytime day or evening.
Provides convenience for the practitioner

Michelle is amazing! I heard that she had started doing animal Reiki. My cat Miki had been very stressed out and peeing outside of the box. After I taking him to the vet finding out there was nothing wrong, I decided to give reiki a try. I’m so glad I did. Mikki seems like a new cat. He’s So much more relaxed and he hasn’t been peeing everywhere. I am so grateful for Michelle and work she does. I can’t recommend her enough.

During our first virtual session with Michelle, you could feel the energy in our home. I observed Onyx, a 12.5 year old corgi/lab mix, jolt up from almost a dead sleep when Michelle switched from one hand to using both of her hands. That was powerful! Onyx has been having issues with a 3 year on-going ear infection, numerous lumps that have developed over the past year, a blockage or lump in a gland sac causing a lot of discomfort and of course the arthritis issues that come with old age. We knew Onyx had accepted the Reiki healing responding with lots of releases like digestion sounds, breathing changes, twitches and as the session was coming to an end, lots of swallowing. He seemed to feel better the rest of the evening sleeping and lounging comfortably, not itching or licking at irritations like he normally would. The following day we knew Onyx was feeling better! He was able to go on a 2 mile walk with ease (normally 1 mile is his absolute max limit) and at the park he was running around like a young pup tossing mulch up in the air, weaving between the kids jungle gym and even leaped up onto the slide chasing us! I could NOT believe it! We are thrilled to have found Michelle who does amazing work bringing comfort, healing & love to all those she works on! Looking forward to many future sessions for Onyx and myself as well as her Reiki training! Thank you 🙏🏼 Michelle from the bottom of our hearts! ♥️

Michelle is amazing. I had my first session with her and it was great. I felt energized and it really helped with my stress and anxiety. She also started doing animal reiki. My dog is a 13yr old pit bull with severe arthritis in his spine that causes him a lot of pain. Michelle worked on him and by the time he was done he runs down the stairs which he hasn’t been able to do because of the pain he had earlier that morning. I was shocked and couldn’t believe it, not even with the pain meds the vet gave him could he run down the stairs. He’s usually goes up and down the stairs very slowly. Michelle thank you. My dog feels much comfortable and has more energy. We will definitely be coming on a regular basis.
