Reiki is a quiet, non-invasive practice that promotes relaxation and calm by supporting the nervous system and the body’s natural ability to settle and rebalance. It can be used with people, animals, and even spaces to encourage comfort, ease, and a sense of steadiness, particularly during stressful, sensitive, or transitional times. As a certified Reiki Master, I am also able to train others and certify them in Usui Reiki, as well.

This membership connects me to the standards, ethics, and evolving practices within the animal hospice and palliative care field, and situates my work alongside veterinary professionals, caregivers, and support providers focused on comfort, quality of life, and compassionate end-of-life care.

Connects me to ongoing education, professional resources, and a broader community dedicated to supporting individuals and families through companion animal loss. This membership grounds my work in established grief-support practices and provides access to tools and perspectives that inform compassionate, nonjudgmental care during and after loss, and provide additional resources for humans and non-humans, alike.

I am currently in training toward ordination in animal chaplaincy through the Compassion Consortium. This ongoing formation focuses on presence, ethical care, and support for both humans and animals during illness, transition, and loss, and connects my work to chaplaincy-informed approaches rooted in compassion, discernment, and respect for diverse beliefs.
