We believe our greatest healing power lies in compassionate service, and therefore we give back to our animal rescue community through Reiki treatments and training programs using the Let Animals Lead® method.
In the tradition and teaching lineage of Animal Reiki expert, Kathleen Prasad of Animal Reiki Source, our Reiki practice is meditation based and we let animals direct all healing sessions.
In order to always honor animals' preferences, we do not approach Animal Reiki in the same way as human Reiki. For this reason, we do not rely on physical touch, do not teach a prescribed set of hand positions, and never use energetic techniques which focus on what's "wrong."
To heal ourselves, support others, protect animals and model the highest ethics of Animal Reiki in the community, we follow the Animal Reiki Practitioner Code of Ethics.
To honor the wisdom and journey of each unique animal, we do not consider ourselves healers, but rather practitioners and/or teachers of a mindfulness healing practice. The peace and harmony of our meditation practice radiates out to help the animals around us.

"Helping, fixing, and serving represent three different ways of seeing life. When you help, you see life as weak. when you fix, you see life as broken. When you serve, you see life as whole. Fixing and helping may be the work of the ego, and service the work of the soul." -Rachel Naomi Remen
Sharing Reiki with an animal doesn’t have to mean sitting in mediation with them. Experience the wonder of moving meditation with your animals. Here I am in the Lolo Forest in Montana with peaceful horses and dogs. A true Zen moment!
By SARA Teacher Jane Joy Sparks
The most special moment, of the special moments I experienced, was with a horse named Whipper. He was a very unsettled, almost neurotic horse. He would pace restlessly, rub himself raw and chew on his tongue as he shuffled from side to side.
The Let Animals Lead® Method of Animal Reiki created by Kathleen Prasad is ideal for working with recent rescues-I work mostly with recently rescued canines.
