Animals can be very sensitive to their surroundings and often respond naturally to calm, gentle interaction. Reiki offers a quiet, non-invasive approach that allows your animal to engage in their own way and at their own pace.

​

Sessions are centred around their comfort, choice and wellbeing, with nothing ever forced.

​

Why Offer Reiki to Animals?

Animals, like us, can experience periods of stress and change. Changes in routine, environment, age or circumstances can sometimes be reflected in their behaviour and general demeanour.

Reiki offers a calm, gentle space where your animal can simply rest and relax.

​

It does not force or override.

​

Your animal is always given the freedom to choose how, and whether, they engage with the session.

​

​​How Reiki May Support Your Pet

Animal Reiki is offered with the intention of supporting relaxation and overall wellbeing. During or after a session, you may notice your animal:

​

• Settling into a deeply relaxed state

• Becoming quieter or more restful

• Choosing to lie down or sleep

• Moving closer to, or further away from, the Reiki

• Showing subtle signs of relaxation or contentment

​

Every animal is different, and some may show very little outward response. There is no particular reaction they need to have for the session to be worthwhile.

​

Reiki is a complementary therapy and should not replace veterinary advice, diagnosis or treatment. If you have any concerns about your animal's health or behaviour, please consult your veterinary professional.

​

What Happens During a Session?

Before your animal's first session, I will speak with you about their background, temperament, general wellbeing and anything you feel may be helpful for me to know.

​

Wherever possible, sessions take place in the animal's own familiar environment, helping to keep the experience calm and comfortable.

​

Reiki may be offered hands-on or hands-off, depending entirely on what your animal is comfortable with. They remain free to move around, come closer, lie down, move away or simply observe.

​

I follow their cues throughout and never restrain or require them to remain in one place.

​

A typical session lasts around 30–45 minutes, although I allow the animal to guide the pace of the session.

Their comfort and choice are always prioritised.

​

Frequency of Sessions

Every animal is different. Some owners choose a single Reiki session, while others prefer occasional or regular sessions as part of their animal's wider wellbeing care.

​

There is no required number of sessions. We can simply see how your animal responds and discuss what feels appropriate for them.
