I am a certified practitioner of the Let Animals Lead® method developed by Kathleen Prasad. Unlike “people” Reiki and other animal Reiki disciplines, Let Animals Lead® works through meditation. It helps create a peaceful space that lets the animal, and very often the human caregiver, relax. The animal can come closer, move away, lie down, go outside, or decline to participate altogether.

This is a game changer for rescued animals and those undergoing medical treatment because it gives them a choice. We all feel and function better when we can relax, recharge, and reset on our own terms.

Reiki (RAY-key) is a Japanese stress reduction technique. “Rei” means spirit, Source, or higher wisdom; and “ki” is life force energy. With humans, a Reiki session is usually conducted through gentle touch, with the client fully clothed on a massage table.

However, Reiki, including the Let Animals Lead® method, can work across the room or across the world for people and animals alike.

Let Animals Lead® is not a miracle cure and is never a substitute for veterinary care. Rather, it complements veterinary treatment and other modalities by promoting relaxation, whether an animal is dealing with anxiety, illness, a behavioral problem, or end-of-life issues.

How did I get started with all of this? Read about Idgie, my diva of a tiger cat.

How sessions work

I offer in-person Let Animals Lead® sessions in your home, barn, or clinic in the Fort Wayne, Indiana area. When I arrive, we’ll talk about any concerns you may have. Then I’ll find a comfortable place to sit or stand and meditate with your animal friend, allowing the energy to do whatever it needs to do, according to the animal’s wishes. Touch is up to the animal, too. Animals know what they need. I allow approximately an hour.

We also have the option of distant sessions, in which I connect with the animal and send healing energy remotely. You and your animal do not have to do anything in particular during the session; lie down and relax, go for a walk, or whatever feels right for you. Afterward, you and I can touch base by phone or email.

While a Let Animals Lead® session is a quiet time, I also offer animal communication sessions geared toward gathering information and insight.
