Animal Reiki is a special adaptation to the traditional Reiki practice specifically for pets and other animals. It can offer pain and stress reduction techniques, with both a heart-centered and hands-on approach.

 

Reiki Level One training is a prerequisite to our Animal Reiki certification. If you are NOT certified in Reiki Level One, then you have two options.

1. Option One: sign up for Reiki Level One training and afterwards, sign up for Animal Reiki certification

2. Option Two: sign up for the combined training called Intro to Reiki plus Animal Reiki certification (seen here on this page).

If at any time you plan on offering Reiki to other (humans) other than yourself, we encourage option one, if you are only taking Reiki training to work with animals, we recommend option two.

​

Target audience for this course: Certification is designed for those who have animal companions, those who care for animals, those who work or volunteer with animals such as but not limited to veterinarian, shelters, groomers, animal trainers etc.

 

Prerequisites for the course: No prerequisite. If you are already Reiki Level One certified, you may also decide to take Animal Reiki certification by itself. More information for Animal Reiki (without the intro) can be found here.
