About Me:
My first animal love was my childhood dog, an Airedale terrier named Samson. There was no turning back after that – he completely won my heart and dogs became my top favorite thing in the world! I grew up in a household with cats and dogs… and Reiki, long before it was a common term in suburban New Jersey (and about a decade before I started hearing my peers talking about “yoga” and “green” and “organic” …all words used in my home).
As middle schoolers, my brothers and I were skeptical about Reiki until we started noticing how our pets would react when our mother had clients over. The animals ALWAYS wanted to be there during sessions and it relaxed them just as much as it did the people being worked on.
I have been practicing Reiki for over a decade now and love the peace that it brings to all who experience it. I have mostly worked with cats and dogs but am able to work with animals of any kind. As a Reiki practitioner, I take animals’ well beings and spirits very seriously. It is such a blessing to be able to provide healing to animals, whether they are anxious, in pain, sick, stressed, treating them with loving end of life care or just giving a little extra tender, loving attention.
I so look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!
