Many times, just having an open communication with your animal will help both of you to feel better. Sometimes, however, you may wish to use other methods to help your pet with emotional or physical issues.

Every animal, just like every person, is an individual with different needs and reactions to treatment. As I am both a licensed veterinary technician and a certified Reiki Level II practitioner with experience using alternative therapies, I believe in exploring all options for your pet and using what works for each case. I firmly believe that traditional veterinary medicine and alternative treatments can work together.

In some cases I may recommend selected Bach Flower Essences for your pet and you. These can be found at many health food stores and are very gentle. The flower essences work with the natural energy patterns of the animal who takes them to aid in healing.

There are some nutritional aids and supplements I am familiar with, as well. Occasionally, I may suggest some options for using these with your pet.

Finally, I am always happy to send an animal healing and calming energy. Sometimes during a consultation I will give an animal a "spot" body scan, Reiki or other modality treatment. For a more specific and/or complete treatment, I will confer with you and the animal to find the problem areas and help the animal clear their blockages by helping to direct the flow of energy through their body and chakras. I can also make flower essence recommendations and send Reiki to you, if you need help coping with a pet's situation or behavior. There is a $15 fee for this work.

If you would like more information on what Reiki is, please check here. And please remember, my consultations are never a substitute for a veterinary examination. If your animal seems really sick, I'd suggest you get her or him checked by a vet first. I can always provide you with additional information once the immediate danger has passed.
