Dear Friends,

Are you an animal lover interested in holistic therapies and looking for a way to empower yourself to help your animal companions? Perhaps you are a Reiki practitioner who has tried Reiki treatments on a few animals, yet didn't get the acceptance from them that you expected?

Let me introduce you to a more successful way to connect with animals and help them heal: where animals can choose to come forward and become the leaders in the healing process. I can train you in the foundations of Level I and II Reiki, help you create a Reiki plan tailored to the animals in your life and practice, and give you the detailed and practical tips you need to be able to offer a successful Reiki treatment to any animal in any situation.

My clients from around the world have included the staff of animal organizations such as BrightHaven Healing Arts Center for Animals, Guide Dogs for the Blind and The Elephant Sanctuary as well as animal health professionals and animal lovers from all walks of life.

I look forward to working with you to expand the opportunities of health and wellness for our animals.

Animal Reiki Blessings,
Kathleen

The name Reiki, pronounced ''Ray-key'', comes from the Japanese words ''rei'' meaning spirit, and ''ki'' meaning energy. It is usually translated as ''universal life energy.''

Reiki is also a Japanese holistic energy healing system that is gentle
and noninvasive and yet yields powerful results for the body, mind and
spirit.

When using Reiki to heal, the practitioner simply sets an intention to facilitate the healing process of the client and allows Reiki to flow in whatever amount the client wishes to receive and for whatever he or she needs most.

It is ideal for use with animals because with Reiki, since effectiveness is not dependent upon physical contact, the animal controls the treatment, accepting Reiki in the ways that are most comfortable, either hands-on or from a distance, or a combination of the two.

Easy for anyone to learn and use, Reiki can do no harm, even when used by the most novice practitioner. It always goes to the deepest source of the problem and always supports a path towards balance and harmony.
