Balancing Corporate & Homesteading Lifestyles
Shelter Animal Reiki Association (SARA)
After recently receiving my certification in Level 1 Animal Reiki ~ Let Animals Lead Method, I am very excited to join The Shelter Animal Reiki Association (SARA) and become a SARA Practitioner.
SARA is a nonprofit organization created to bring Reiki energy healing to sanctuary and shelter animals. SARA's mission is to raise awareness of the benefits that Reiki can provide for shelter and rescue animals. Our goal is to create a healing and harmonic energetic space to promote stress-relief and relaxation, supporting healing possibilities on all levels for both the animals and their caregivers.

As a SARA practitioner, I have made a volunteer commitment offering Reiki treatments for local shelters, sanctuaries and rescues. If you are local (MA) and interested in learning more, please reach out to me by email or text:

"The Let Animals Lead® method of Animal Reiki teaches animal-guided healing through meditation. This unique perspective on healing helps humans support animals. Techniques teach practitioners how to support their animals through difficult times with peaceful acceptance, through letting go of judgment, worries, the need to fix and the need to control outcome".

As a SARA Practitioner, in working with the animals, I follow these guidelines:
• I work in partnership with the animal.
• I always ask permission of the animal before beginning, and respect his or her decision to accept or refuse any treatment. I listen intuitively and observe the animal’s body language in determining the response.
• I allow each animal to choose how to receive his or her treatment; thus each treatment could be a combination of hands-on, short distance and/or distant healing, depending on the animal’s preference.
• I let go of my expectations about how the treatment should progress and/or how the animal should behave during the treatment, and simply trust Reiki.
• I accept the results of the treatment without judgment and with gratitude toward Reiki and the animal’s openness and participation in the process.
