Shamanic Healing for Pets

Just like people, our animals have their own experiences, personalities, relationships, and journeys.

Sometimes they may be going through illness, aging, emotional or behavioral changes, grief, major transitions, or something that simply feels different to you as the person who knows them best.

Shamanic Healing for Pets allows me to work with your animal on an energetic and spiritual level while they remain safely and comfortably in their own environment.

This part of my work is especially close to my heart.

My own journey into deeper shamanic healing with animals began when my pet became sick and entered palliative care. I wanted to support her in every way I could while also honoring where she was in her own journey. Shamanic and energy work became part of the support I provided through that time and eventually as I assisted her through her transition.

That experience changed the way I looked at this work with animals.

During your pet's session, I connect with them using their photograph and the information you provide beforehand. From there, I follow what comes forward intuitively and through my shamanic practice rather than assuming beforehand what they need.

Depending on the animal and what comes up during the session, the work may include energetic clearing, supporting transitions, releasing energetic patterns, or other shamanic practices appropriate for what I am being guided to work with.

Your pet does not need to be on camera, lie still, or interact with me during the session.

You also do not need to remain on the phone while the session is taking place unless that is something we have arranged together.

Once the session is complete, I will call you as their guardian for a debrief. We will talk about what I experienced during the session, what came through, and anything I feel is important to share with you.

Shamanic Healing is complementary spiritual and energetic support. It does not diagnose or treat medical conditions and should never replace appropriate veterinary care.

Q: Does my pet need to be on the phone or video with you?
A: No. These sessions are offered remotely, and your pet does not need to be on camera or interact with me directly. I work from the photograph and information you provide before the session. Your pet can continue doing whatever feels natural to them while I work.

Q: Does my pet need to lie down or stay still?
A: Not at all. One of the things I love about working remotely with animals is that they can stay in their own environment and do what they naturally want to do. They may sleep, walk around, eat, play, move from one room to another, or settle somewhere quietly. There is nothing they need to "do" for the session.

Q: Do I have to stay on the phone during the session?
A: No. In most cases, I complete the energetic work separately and call you once the session is finished. If there is a reason you would like to be present during the session, we can discuss that beforehand.

Q: What happens after the session?
A: Once I have finished working with your pet, I will call you for a debrief. This gives me an opportunity to share what I noticed, what came through during the session, areas I was drawn toward, and anything else that may be helpful for you to know as their guardian.

Q: Can you work with a pet who is sick?
A: Yes, energy work may be used as complementary support for animals who are also receiving veterinary care. It is important to understand that Reiki and Shamanic Healing do not replace veterinary medicine. I do not diagnose medical conditions, change medications, or recommend delaying veterinary treatment.

Q: Can these sessions support a senior pet or a pet receiving palliative care?
A: Yes. This is actually an area of this work that is very personal to me because of my own experience supporting my pet during palliative care and eventually through her transition. The intention is not to force an outcome or change the natural course of their journey. It is to provide additional energetic or spiritual support based on where they are at that time.

Q: Can you work with a pet who is nearing the end of their life?
A: Yes... End-of-life and transition support can be part of this work when appropriate. My approach is centered around supporting the animal and honoring their individual journey rather than trying to determine when or how that journey should unfold. This work is not a replacement for conversations with your veterinarian about quality of life, pain management, hospice, or euthanasia decisions.

Q: What is the difference between Pet Reiki and Pet Shamanic Healing?
A: Reiki is generally the gentler starting point when you are looking for energetic support, relaxation, or simply feel that your pet could use some additional care. Shamanic Healing goes into a different layer of energetic and spiritual work and may be appropriate when there is a transition, deeper energetic pattern, end-of-life journey, or something you feel may need to be explored differently. If you are unsure which one to choose, you can reach out and we can determine what may make the most sense for your pet.

Q: Can my pet receive more than one session?
A: Absolutely! Some guardians choose a single session, while others may want continued support depending on what their pet is going through. Every animal is different, so I do not automatically recommend a certain number of sessions. We can discuss whether additional sessions may make sense after seeing how your pet responds to the first one.

Q: What if I don't know exactly what is wrong?
A: That is completely okay. You know your pet better than anyone, and sometimes the only thing you know is that they seem different or something feels off. Share what you have noticed, even if you cannot fully explain it. I will work from there.
