Because Every Animal Deserves Gentle Support
Gentle, hands-off Animal Reiki that meets your animal exactly where they are.
​
Whether your animal is experiencing stress, adjusting to change, growing older, recovering from illness, or simply could use a little extra support, Reiki offers a quiet space where nothing is expected of them.
​
Reiki is always offered, never forced.

Throughout this website, you'll see photographs of animals I've personally shared Reiki with. Some Reiki exchanges happened during scheduled sessions, while others were spontaneous moments of connection, always guided by the animal's comfort and willingness to participate.
Reiki connections along the way!
From beloved pets to some unexpected animal friends, I've been fortunate to share Reiki with animals of all shapes and sizes. Every connection is unique, and every animal reminds me why I love this work.

Meet Erin
I've always had a natural connection to intuition, spirituality, and animals.
Â
Animal Reiki became a way for me to bring those parts of my life together while offering animals something I believe they deserve—gentle support without pressure or expectations.
Â
My approach is simple: I offer Reiki, respect the animal's space, and let them lead.
Â
Their body. Their space. Their choice.
Okay... Reiki sounds a little woo-woo.
I get it.
Energy work isn't familiar to everyone. You don't have to share my spiritual beliefs—or even be sure what you think about Reiki—to explore it.
I'm a spiritual person, but I also have a background in psychology and believe in asking questions, looking at evidence, and being honest about what we know and what we don't.
Reiki has been scientifically studied, particularly in people. Some research has reported promising findings in areas such as relaxation, anxiety, pain, and quality of life, while the overall evidence is still developing. Research specifically involving animals is much more limited.
Be curious. Ask questions. Explore. Decide for yourself.
Giving Back
Supporting the animals who give so much to us.
I donate Animal Reiki to qualifying rescues, shelters, nonprofit animal organizations, and therapy-animal programs as my schedule allows.
​
Therapy animals spend so much of their lives supporting, comforting, and holding space for people. Reiki gives them quiet time where nothing is expected of them and they can simply be.
​
Supporting therapy animals is my way of giving back to the animals who spend their lives giving to others.
