Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive practice that is used to support relaxation, balance, and overall well-being for both humans and animals.

I see it as a way of creating space for the recipient’s body and nervous system to slow down, settle, and return to a more natural state of balance.

​

When the recipient feels safe and relaxed, the body shifts out of stress mode. Breathing slows, muscles soften, and stress hormones reduce. This relaxation response is well documented in both humans and animals and plays an important role in physical and emotional well-being. Reiki sessions, whether hands-on or at a distance, are designed to encourage this state.

​

In a hands-on Reiki session, I place my hands lightly on or just above the recipient. With animals, this is always done in a way that respects their comfort, boundaries, and choice. There is no manipulation or pressure.
