See animals with fresh eyes and a positive view with an evening session certification course in Level 1 of Let Animals Lead® Animal Reiki!

July lessons released beginning on Monday, July 10, 2023. The Level 1 Let Animals Lead® online course runs for 8 weeks with live sessions on Wednesdays (from 6-7 PM Pacific time), beginning July 19th and running until August 30th.

It’s much easier to get through dark and challenging moments with compassion once we have learned the principals and practices of Animal Reiki. It’s also easier to ease the suffering of animals you love, while staying respectful of their agency and independence. This Level 1 Animal Reiki course will teach you how to practice mindfulness with the gifts your animals give you each and every day!

It can be so challenging to support our animals when they are suffering! Kathleen has used Animal Reiki to heal from breast cancer, as well as support countless animals through life and death moments.  These experiences have given her a unique perspective on the role of Animal Reiki in healing.

This 8-week certification course in Let Animals Lead® Animal Reiki will positively transform your bond with animals and change the way they connect with you, forever!

Kathleen has over 20 years’ experience as the world’s pioneer and leader in the Animal Reiki profession, and she’s travelled around teaching over 100 Level 1 Animal Reiki classes in the past 23 years. Whether teaching shelter and sanctuary workers and volunteers or others who work with animals or who just want to connect more deeply with their animals, she is uniquely qualified to teach you an Animal Reiki method that will truly change your life!

The only other place you’ll find opportunities to learn Kathleen’s Let Animals Lead® method is in person with one of her LAL® certified teachers!

Animal Reiki Source is approved by the International Association of Animal Massage & Bodywork/Association of Canine Water Therapy as an Approved Educational Provider. Contact Kathleen if you want to earn 10 CEU for this course.

What you’ll learn in Level 1 of Let Animals Lead® Animal Reiki:

Healing Experience Testimonial from a Level 1 Let Animals Lead® Student:

I just wanted to share this while it is still so fresh. I have been dealing with some significant chronic pain in my neck/shoulder area. It has been getting increasingly worse over the last several weeks. 

Anyway, after the meditation/Reiju during class today, I sat up and noticed that the pain had all but left that region! I was so surprised by this feeling (or lack thereof) that I had to move my head from side to side to make sure this was real! I also noticed that after doing the hara breathing this ball of uneasiness in my gut was no longer weighing me down either! Just an overwhelming sense of calm and peacefulness. 

The pain isn’t completely gone but on a scale of 1-10 it was a 15! Now it’s 2-3! I am truly blessed to be able to attend your class and so grateful that you even offer it!
