Animals are naturally sensitive to energy. They feel the world through instinct, body language, intuition, and subtle shifts around them. This means they often respond to Reiki even more openly than humans do, allowing the energy to bring comfort, reassurance, and calm in a very gentle and natural way.

 Why Offer Reiki to Animals?

Animals feel emotions and stress just like we do. They can experience physical discomfort, changes as they age, anxiety, fear, trauma, and overwhelm. Because they cannot express these feelings in words, they often show them through behaviour or changes in mood, appetite, or posture.

Reiki offers animals a gentle way to relax, release tension, and feel more balanced and at ease. It supports their natural ability to self-heal by helping restore the smooth flow of energy throughout the body.

Reiki does not force or push — animals choose how they receive the energy. It meets them exactly where they are, offering comfort, reassurance, and emotional support.

Benefits of Reiki for Animals

Many animals respond to Reiki with:

• Deep relaxation
• Reduced stress and anxiety
• A sense of comfort and safety
• Improved emotional balance
• Relief from tension or restlessness
• Support during recovery or life transitions
• Peaceful support at end of life

Every animal is unique, and Reiki will always adjust to what they are ready to receive.

What Happens During a Treatment?

Before the first session, I spend time speaking with the owner to understand the animal’s background, personality, and current needs. This helps us work gently, respectfully, and in a way that supports the animal’s comfort.

Reiki is non-invasive and is offered either hands-on or hands-off, depending on what the animal chooses. The session usually takes place in the animal’s own environment, where they feel relaxed and safe.

Animals always have full control during a session. They may move around, come closer, lie down, or walk away when they’ve had enough — all of this is perfectly normal and part of the process.

A session typically lasts 30–45 minutes, but the animal decides how much energy they want to receive.

The well-being and emotional safety of the animal always comes first.

​

How Often Are Sessions Needed?

Some animals benefit from a single session, while others respond best to a gentle series of treatments. An initial set of three sessions is often helpful, as this allows the animal to build trust and deepen the relaxation response.

We will discuss what feels most supportive based on the needs of the animal, and the plan can be adjusted at any time.
