Welcome to the Q&A section - frequently asked questions

Reiki is a holistic Japanese relaxation technique which promotes healing. It is a complete system of well-being; mindfulness, meditation, Ki breath, and energy healing.

Reiki is a complementary, non-invasive energy therapy — a soft, supportive practice that encourages your body to relax, release stress and remember its own natural ability to heal.

It works beautifully alongside conventional care; it never replaces it.

Reiki is not a medical or psychological service, and no session is a substitute for professional medical, veterinary or psychological advice.

 

I offer Reiki for people, horses and animals, in two gentle ways:

In-person — at your space or onsite with your animal, using light touch and a sequence of hand positions

Distance — from wherever you and your animal are, as energy flows without limits of time or space.

There's also a shorter trial ("get to know you") session to begin, and a deeper full energy-balancing session for when you're ready to go further.

 

I offer a free 15-min obligation-free discovery call, either online, Whatsapp, or Zoom, for a face-to-face, or telephone call, where we can connect to see if our energies are aligned for working together.

A lovely, obligation-free chance for us to simply meet — online or onsite — and chat.

We'll explore what you and your animal uniquely need, you can ask any questions, and see how it feels before committing.

It's an essential step toward building a respectful, trusting, loving partnership together.

 

Before we start, I also offer a warm meet-and-greet consult (obligation-free, online or onsite) so we can simply chat, get to know one another, and make sure this feels right and comfortable for everyone.

When we work with your horse or animal, I confirm you are their owner or authorised agent, and that you take full responsibility for their welfare, health and wellbeing — including regular veterinary care and seeking professional advice whenever a health concern arises.

A veterinary check is highly recommended prior to adding any energy healing work to your animals existing treatment plan.

For our magnificent equine friends, a suitability assessment is part of our safety care.

This is a gentle, distance-based introduction at the very start of any session, where I simply communicate softness, compassion, kindness and love through energy — allowing your horse to feel safe before we begin.

My pricing is simple and reflects the care, expertise and time woven into each session.

🌿 The "Get to Know You" Trial Session

A soft, welcoming first experience — perfect if you'd simply like to feel what distance Reiki is like.

Settling in: We begin by getting comfortable wherever you are, at an agreed time. You might sit or lie down, wrapped in a blanket, with a quiet space if possible.

A gentle breath: I guide you through a short, calming breath and body-scan, inviting your body to soften.

The Reiki flow: I connect with you energetically and send a gentle, tender flow of Reiki to ease tension and support deep relaxation.

Coming back: We close slowly, grounding you back into your day, and I offer time to share anything you noticed or ask questions.

 

🌊 The Deep Distance Reiki — Full Energy-Balancing & Intuitive Flow

A longer, more restorative journey for when you're ready to go deeper.

Creating sacred space: We begin with intention and a peaceful settling-in, just as above — at a distance, from the comfort of your own space.

Full intuitive Reiki flow: I work through a complete intuitive flow, allowing the energy to move wherever it is most needed — releasing held tension, soothing the nervous system, and harmonising your whole energy field.

Deep restoration: This session is designed for profound calm, encouraging your body's natural ability to rebalance across all areas — physical, emotional and energetic — supporting gentle, lasting, restorative healing.

Gentle integration: We close with spaciousness and reflection, so the experience can settle gently within you, and I invite any questions or reflections.

Throughout every session, there is always room for questions — before, during or after. No question is too small.

 

Distance Reiki for animals works on the spiritual, energetic plane — a little differently again.

Because your animal's energy is already so open and honest, I simply connect through your openness and consent, which acts as the loving bridge between us.

Here's what helps our connection come through most clearly:

Talk with your animal first. Gently explain that you are requesting a Reiki healing session for them — or a combined intuitive healing-and-communication session — and let them know you'd love to deepen your bond together. Animals understand far more than we often realise.

Share their name and a recent photo. Their name (or the affectionate nickname you whisper to them) and a clear, recent picture are such loving touchstones — especially for distance sessions where deeper communication is sought.

Speak your intention aloud. Simply stating your willingness to listen, to work together, and to honour them makes a profound difference. This openness to serve, and this partnership in healing, is truly beautiful — and deeply appreciated by them.

When you approach a session willing to co-create it with your animal, in love and mutual trust, the connection that unfolds is often far beyond what words can capture.

This is how I become the bridge between you and your animal — holding space so that a deeper, more loving connection can blossom through the experience, always with love and kindness.

Once the session is completed with your animal companion, a debriefing appointment session is conducted to share any insights afterwards.

Settling in — We begin gently, and I'll guide you through a simple Zen Reiki mindfulness breath to help your body relax.

Your needs, your way — I'll show you the sequence of light-touch hand positions chosen for you, and check in for your agreement before we begin — and again any time your needs change.

The Reiki flow — Healing energy moves where it's most needed while you rest, fully clothed.

Coming back — We close slowly, with time to share and ask questions.

I will never make contact over the private areas of your body unless there is a genuine reason and you've given specific, written consent beforehand.

At a distance, the experience is every bit as real and gentle — energy is not limited by time or space.

Animals are wonderfully expressive, and there's no "right" way for them to receive — only what feels natural. Your companion may:

• Yawn deeply, or do long, luxurious stretches
• Wander around or have a quiet drink of water
• Randomly seek you out for extra loves and cuddles
• Curl up and snore deeply for a while, resting in the healing
• Please support them gently through this — there's nothing to "fix," only to allow. 

 

Our animals quietly carry our emotional burdens alongside us.

Reiki helps release those unseen weights, healing and deepening the heart-and-soul bond you share, together.

 

If your animal has recently crossed over, please let me know, and know this: you have not been separated from them.

Your beloved companion remains close to you in those first weeks — travelling freely back and forth between realms — to support you through your grief.

This is why they often still feel so very present, as if they are right here with you. They are. And this sacred month of ritual and ceremony, honouring the bond you shared, is an important and healing part of the grief process.

Please know that healing is available to you and your animal in spirit immediately — you do not need to wait to be held.

As you move through the deep grief and many stages of loss, compassionate energy healing can help ease those heavy, suffocating moments of anguish — softening the weight just enough to breathe again, and gently supporting you as you navigate this tender time.

However, out of deep respect for your animal's own journey, I recommend waiting around three to six months after their passing before booking a personal reading for intuitive animal communication and mediumship.

During those first months, your beloved has their own gentle work to do in the spirit realm — coming back to rest, review and make peace in their own time. This means:

Immediately after passing: Healing sessions for both you and your animal in spirit — welcome right away.

After roughly three to six months: A personal intuitive reading, where communication and mediumship can bloom most clearly and gently.

I hold this guidance lovingly, though I understand every journey is unique and will consider individual circumstances case by case.

With love, I also offer end-of-life and pet death doula services — compassionate support for you and your cherished companion through chronic and life-limiting illness, and the gentle transitions beyond. (As an end-of-life practitioner and animal pet doula, I will be formally opening these services soon.)

 

Yes, I am an animal intuitive and an evidentiary Spiritual Medium and have spent years studying, and developing my gifts with animals as my teachers, and a Mentor.

The complete, most connected experience I offer

For our magnificent equine friends, everything begins with a suitability assessment — a safe, gentle distance-based introduction at the very start, where I simply communicate softness, compassion and kindness through energy, allowing your horse to feel safe and choose to engage.

From there, the session flows in harmony with your horse:

Approach with gentleness — I let your horse lead the pace, honouring their comfort and trust at every step.

Energy connection — I offer Reiki at a distance or with the lightest touch, always watching and respecting your horse's signals.

Space to release — Horses often show release through deep breathing, chewing, yawning, lowering their head, or simply leaning into the calm.

Gentle closing — We finish softly, giving your horse time to integrate, and I'll share with you what I noticed and answer any questions.

Safety and your horse's wellbeing are always at the heart of this work — for their sake and ours.

Best Practices Equine Reiki Scotland & SARA - Shelter Animal Reiki Association

Everyone is different — and that's beautifully okay. During a session you may notice gentle warmth, a soft unwinding as your body learns to release held tension, and a soothing sense of peace. Some feel deeply relaxed and still; others drift toward sleep.

What unfolds afterwards is often just as meaningful. It can take around three to four days for your body to fully integrate the energy — a quiet alchemy where dense, heavy energy is transmuted into light Ki flow, returning your own light to you.

In the days that follow, you may notice:

• Deeper, more restful sleep, with a clearer, calmer mind
• A sense of calm, or sometimes a gentle, deep tiredness while your body does this healing work
• Feeling energised, lighter, happier and full of optimism — a renewed sense of possibility
• A profound loving bond and connection to the universe — and for our animal friends, a sense of their happiness, joy and thriving
• However your body responds, please know it is receiving exactly what it needs, in its own perfect time.
