Where we teach you a mindful way to help animals.

Animal Reiki Source is about using meditative techniques to make the world a better place for you and your animals. We teach you to create an inviting, calm space for animals that is ideal for their healing.

I'm going to teach you how to build trust with animals by unveiling the secrets of non-verbal communication and connection.

The Pioneer of Animal Reiki and the creator of the Let Animals Lead® Method

25 years ago, I began practicing Reiki with animals and, back then, NOBODY was doing it yet and Reiki was still very human-centric.

I started out using self-healing Reiki sessions to calm my anxiety and realized quickly that my dog, Dakota, seemed to want to join my healing space. 

Fast forward 25 years.

 

Through many thousands of Animal Reiki sessions and A LOT of humbling mistakes made while working with animals, I now know the "secret ingredient" for building trust with animals that helps them slip into a healing energy state. 

 

And I've used this knowledge and experience to create a revolutionary Animal Reiki method (called the Let Animals Lead® Method) that—unlike Human Reiki lineages—doesn't require using our hands or sending energy or beaming energy at animals. My LAL® method is a groundbreaking approach to energy healing that empowers animals and honors their agency, wisdom, and independence.

And the results have proven to be nothing short of miraculous!

I really enjoyed Kathleen’s Level 1 Reiki class and learning this meditation based Reiki . The workbook, structure of the class and the way Kathleen taught it made for a wonderful experience where I felt immersed in Reiki the whole time and left with the knowledge and motivation to keep up the practice. It has definitely affected me in all aspects of my life and most importantly how it helps me to help animals. Kathleen is an inspiration!

Meditating

This course changed everything for me. Prior to the class, I thought I was connected and open, but this class is the next level! So much pause for reflection, so much deep soul searching, and I notice such a difference in myself, my movement in the world, how my dogs react in my presence, even the wildlife is reacting differently to me! Such a deep learning of calm, beautiful connection, in ways that I didn’t know even existed. Such a beautiful, life-changing experience.
