Reiki is the life energy that flows though all living things. 

REIKI is a natural, non-invasive energy healing practice for all living beings at every stage of life. It was developed in Japan in the 1800's by Mikao Usui and has been passed down through select grandmasters. Reiki is based on guiding energy within the body to aid with stress reduction and relaxation. When the body and mind are relaxed, the body can work to repair, heal and allow the mind to function with more clarity. There are many conditions that reiki may help with and it is a great complement to traditional medicine, embraced by many hospitals, healthcare facilities and veterinarians. 

​

Catherine first studied Reiki in 2009 and developed her personal practice in the Usui System of Natural Healing helping friends and family alongside her growing pet care business, All 4 Pets Inc. Catherine has seen first hand how reiki can positively impact people and animals in her care. She is equally comfortable treating humans and animals - although the techniques employed are quite different. A growing demand for her services encouraged her to offer reiki healing as a professional service for all.

REIKI FOR PEOPLE

A reiki session is typically around 60 minutes in length, a little longer for the first visit which begins with a brief interview. Privacy & confidentiality are maintained at all times, I subscribe to the IARP Code of Ethics.  During a session the client is fully clothed while comfortably reclining on a massage table or seated in a chair. Catherine will utilize specific hand positions typically hovering a few inches above the body together with light touch according to client preference.

​

During a session most clients feel a sense of relaxation and peace, and it is not uncommon to fall asleep. Don't worry you will receive all the benefits of the session asleep or awake!  You may feel sensations in the body or a stirring of emotion and you are welcome to communicate your thoughts at any time. 

​

After the session you will still be processing the energy, and it is important that you take things nice and easy for a few hours following. Eat well and stay hydrated during the day. You may wish to spend some quiet time recording your thoughts & insights as they come to you.

​

Reiki sessions are available in my treatment room in Mt Kisco or your own home (indoors or outdoors) or can be offered as a virtual session via Zoom/ FaceTime or WhatsApp. You do not need to be physically present to feel the benefits, reiki energy knows no distance. All Covid-19 hygiene protocols will be discussed and agreed on an individual basis prior to the treatment. 

REIKI FOR ANIMALS

Animals are wonderfully open to energy healing and so it is important to let them be your guide during the session. Catherine follows the 'Let Animals Lead'® method of Animal Reiki developed by Kathleen Prasad. 

​

A typical animal session will be around 45 minutes, usually in their home environment where they are generally more comfortable. Catherine will begin the session by talking with the pet caregiver to gain some background knowledge. She will then lead the animal in a meditation, inviting the animal to receive energy healing. Hand placements are only used if the animal initiates contact. No restraint is needed and the animal is free to move around at will as the session unfolds. It's not unusual for the animal to initially become excited, then settle and relax over the course of the session. If there are other animals in the house there is generally no need to remove them from the room unless there is a specific reason or request.

Reiki can be a beautiful way to help your pet transition over the rainbow bridge at the end of their life. This healing energy can be a comforting shared moment for the animal and their caregiver. 

​

Pet caregivers are very welcome to be present during all sessions and also feel the benefit of the energy healing. 

Distance healing is offered after the first physical (or virtual) session
