Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is animal reiki better given in person or via distance healing?
Animal reiki is universal energy and flows the same, whether provided at a distance or in person. Time and distance are no limit. If you would prefer to have reiki for your animal in person and live within the West Yorkshire area, please email me via my contact form for a quotation.
How many distance animal reiki sessions are required?
I generally recommend between two to three distance animal reiki sessions per animal. Reiki healing is most effective when given over a series of sessions and a period of time. However, a number of animals benefit from one single session. Some clients book regular monthly sessions to maintain the positive changes for their animal.
Do I need to be physically present with my animal during the session/s?
No, you don’t need to be physically present with your animal during the session. However, if it’s possible to be with them, this can be a lovely experience, as you might notice subtle signs that your animal is receiving the energy—such as relaxation, yawning, stretching, or changes in breathing.
Do I need to let my animal's veterinarian know about the healing sessions?
If healing is to be given to help a physical concern, you will be asked to confirm that your animal has seen their vet within the past 3 months and/or already has a diagnosis.
​
The Veterinary Surgery Act of 1966 prohibits anyone other than a qualified veterinary surgeon from treating animals including diagnosis of ailments and giving advice on such diagnosis. However, the healing of animals by contact healing by the laying of hands or distant healing is legal. The Protection of Animals Act 1911 requires
that if an animal clearly needs treatment from a veterinary surgeon, you, as the owner, must obtain this.
How long should I expect before I see a change?
Results and changes are not guaranteed. Some clients see some positive signs within 3-4 sessions, some as early as the first. Some animals may have changes instantly, rarely it takes several months. Results depend on a number of factors, including how long the animal has been in need.
Do you communicate with animals who have passed?
I am sorry that your animal has passed. I currently only offer sessions for animals that are living. If you are looking for support to help with loss of a beloved pet, I can highly recommend contacting the Blue Cross's free and confidential Pet Bereavement Support Service (PBSS),
Do you offer help with missing animals?
I am sorry to hear that your beloved animal is missing, I am happy to share reiki to help support them. Please see my Missing Pet Reiki sessions
Do you offer in-person sessions?
At present, I do not offer in-person sessions. Please sign up to my newsletter for updates as my subscribers will be the first to hear if this changes.
Are communication sessions conducted by phone or video call?
No. Most of my clients prefer something they can read and refer back to or listen to in their own time. In my experience, phone or video calls can often create unwanted distractions and interfere with the flow of energy required for communication and Reiki.
​
This is why each session is conducted remotely at the scheduled time using a photo of your animal, which I use to connect telepathically with them. You’ll provide any questions or areas of focus you’d like me to explore during the session. Each session is unique to the animal and what they would like to share.
​
You don’t need to be present with your animal while I connect. After the session, I’ll write up detailed notes and send them to you as a PDF by email within 2–3 hours. If you prefer, you can also choose to receive an audio recording of the session for an additional fee.
Can I book more than one pet per session?
Each session is focused on one animal at a time, to ensure they receive full attention and energy. However, if you have more than one animal, you are welcome to book additional sessions, and I offer a discount for multiple animals booked together.
How do I prepare for a session?
​No special preparation is needed. You will need to provide a clear recent photo of your animal and any questions or topics you’d like me to explore. If you choose to be with your animal during the time of the scheduled session, create a calm, quiet space where they feel safe and relaxed.
