Reiki (Energy Work)
Reiki for humans and Animals
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese energetic technique that is beneficial for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. The International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT) explains: “Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind, and spirit, creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and well-being.”
Reiki has been used in Japan for over 100 years. In 1937, Mrs. Hawayo Takata (Takata Sensei) brought Reiki from Japan to the United States but this style of Reiki was developed in 1922 by Dr. Mikaso Usui (Usui Sensei). If you would like to learn more about the history of Reiki, visit the ICRT’s website for a detailed history.
What is a Reiki session like?
Reiki is not a massage, although sometimes licensed massage therapists also offer Reiki. The Reiki that we offer is no-touch, which is helpful for people who would like to try Reiki but feel uncomfortable being touched. At times, a light static (non-moving) touch may be used but your Reiki practitioner will discuss this with you and receive consent prior to your first session. Reiki is done fully clothed, typically on a massage table but it can also be done while you are sitting in a chair. Reiki energy is transmitted through the hands of the Reiki practitioner to the client through hand positions [1] and sessions last between 30-45 minutes. Your first Reiki session will involve talking to Stacey about your energetic needs, any physical, spiritual, or emotional concerns that you would like to address with Reiki.

Is Reiki a Religion? Can Christians and other religions use reiki?
Reiki is not a religion. For clients receiving Reiki, there is no religious or spiritual aspect at all. Reiki practitioners are all different; some may practice a religion and some may have no religious affiliation at all. Any/all religions or belief systems are compatible with Reiki.

Reiki For pets
For many of us, our animals are part of the family. As with humans, animals can benefit from Reiki. Because they’re not able to communicate with us by speaking, animals let us know how they are feeling through their behavior. Whether your pet is experiencing physical difficulties that come from aging, like arthritis; struggling emotionally after the loss of another pet or human; or just isn’t acting like themselves, Reiki can be helpful.
As with humans, animal Reiki can be done in person or via distance Reiki. Depending on your pet’s specific needs, distance Reiki may be advisable even if you live locally. After speaking with you, we will let you know which type of reiki is recommended.
Reiki is not medical veterinary care so please be sure to speak to your vet about any changes in behavior that you notice in your pet prior to seeking out reiki energy.
Animal Communication
Stacey has taken trainings with Danielle MacKinnon through her Soul Level Animal Communication classes. If you wish, intuitive animal communication can be added to your pet’s Reiki session. Stacey has experience working with dogs, cats, birds, and horses through Soul Level Animal Communication.
