Animal Reiki

“Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you truly love.”
~Rumi

I became a Reiki master after working with Kris Stevens, here in Grass Valley, and again with Kathleen Prasad, who teaches Animal Reiki around the country and the world. Now I offer classes to teach how to use Reiki with animals.

Reiki cannot harm. Ever.

Reiki is a gentle, noninvasive, holistic energy healing system that yields powerful results for body, mind, and spirit. Reiki is a wonderful healing tool for pain relief following surgery, easing symptoms of chronic conditions, calming an animal’s anxiety and fear, and easing the transition at the end of life. Reiki can be offered in conjunction with rehabilitation or as individual Reiki sessions.

DISTANCE REIKI

You don’t need to be present to receive Reiki energy. Energy is everywhere, and all it needs is intention and the ability to ‘send’ it. The practitioner’s focus and intention make it work. Energy, unlike matter, is not subject to the laws of time and space.I

REIKI FOR ANIMALS

Reiki is ideal for use with animals because it is gentle and noninvasive. It doesn’t cause stress, discomfort, or pain, and yet yields powerful results. Animals respond intuitively to Reiki‘s power to heal emotional, behavioral, and physical illnesses and injuries.

For animals who are healthy, Reiki helps to maintain their health, enhances relaxation and provides an emotional sense of peace and contentment.

For animals who are ill, Reiki is a wonderful healing method as well as a safe complement to Western Medicine, Chinese Medicine, homeopathy, flower essences, and all other forms of healing. For example, Reiki can reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, support an acupuncture or acupressure treatment, and enhance the effects of all modalities.

For animals with behavioral issues, especially fear-based aggression or anxiety, Reiki is a powerful tool to help them relax and stop the cycle of panic or anxiety. For animals in transition, Reiki is a powerful yet gentle way to provide comfort, relief from pain, fear, and anxiety, and to ease the transition.

Michelle is a warm and loving healer. She was easy to work with and readily available to answer my questions. She was informative about the Reiki sessions and booking. After each session my dog looked so content and after the last session he truly seemed in bliss. I will be getting more sessions for him with Michelle and recommend her. –Arlene O

I worked with Michelle during a time when my beloved senior kitty was possibly needing to be put down. This is heartbreaking for anyone, and I was so conflicted.

Michelle had so many great recommendations, resources, and suggestions. Things I hadn’t thought of and holistic options that my vet never discussed. She guided me step by step as to what to look for when he was ready to go, with patience and kindness.

After working with her, I feel more able to focus on my grief without as much uncertainty about the time he has left. Her great compassion for animals and empathy for their people is truly a gift. She cares a great deal about you and your dear pets, and the process you’re going through.

She also brought up some really good elements to add to the ceremonies and rituals my family has to honor our pets. It was incredibly thoughtful and moving. I was really impressed and thankful for her follow-up support, just checking in to see how my baby was doing. That in itself is a blessing.

Thank you again, Michelle for the work you do! Should your beloved four-legged family member be making that journey toward the rainbow bridge, I absolutely recommend working with her. She has a true gift, and as a spiritual visor in a human niche, I don’t sat that lightly.–Heidi B.J. Feb 2023

Michelle is a natural when it comes to life coaching. She made me feel comfortable from the beginning and I was able to say anything that was on my mind without any judgment from her. She definitely helped guide me to find my purpose in life and what I’m meant to do in this world. I cannot appreciate her enough.

Michelle is an incredible coach. She brings a loving, intuitive energy to your session and allows you to feel comfortable in sharing with her. She carefully guided me over a huge hurdle in my life and I loved working with her. –Raeanna L.

Aida S.

I have been one of Michelle McKenzie’s clients for a while. Unlike a traditional life coach, she brings to the table her experience in angel card readings and Reiki. Michelle’s skills, innate instinct and spiritual wisdom has provided me exactly what I needed during the rough times that I have run into during major transitions in my life. I decided to seek out a professional like Michelle who had the formal training of spiritual depth and the know-how of a life coach. She has focus, passion, commitment, wisdom and persistence. She is also a natural intuitive, which shows through in her coaching because her focus is that you be set free so you can fly on your own. She is a healer of the soul. She goes deeper to find the root of your desire to become all that you were created to be. –Aida S.

Katrina H.

I had lots of big goals and no idea how to narrow my focus and choose the path that would make my soul sing. I was overwhelmed and getting nowhere. Michelle lovingly helped me sort through my options, get organized, and take an honest look at what I truly wanted to do with my life. In just four sessions, I had a roadmap, an abundance of motivation, and an end to the overwhelm. –Katrina H.

Atricia A.

Michelle was very personable and easy to talk to during coaching. She was direct yet compassionate. Michelle is a wonderful coach who allows you to be open with exploration and ideas. Michelle coached me through a phase and transition that was unique to me. I appreciate Michelle for her willingness to work with me. Her help was very much appreciated. —

Petra G.

Michelle’s flexible, easy nature allows for whatever you show up with during the session, yet she is able to ask those hard questions that help build awareness and forward action. She gave me valuable resources that helped me to enhance my business practices. Michelle’s manner is generally easy-going and warm, yet she’s not afraid to ask the thought-provoking questions. –Petra G.

Angela L.

Michelle is a wonderful combination of passionate, kind and caring. As a coach, she excels at asking questions that help her clients find common threads and identify “big picture” goals. I came to her with many challenges, and she was able to help me break them down, examine them, and emerge with a concrete plan of action. This helped to increase my confidence and set me on the path to achieving my goals. –Angela L
