Reiki

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a non-invasive, complementary and integrative healing practice that promotes overall health and well-being. Reiki works with the animal to facilitate his/her healing response. It is gentle, non-invasive, painless and stress-free. It does no harm. It is not a substitute for veterinary care, but can assist in that care.

What It May Do

  • Maintain health and well-being on the physical, mental and emotional levels
  • Induce deep relaxation and stress-relief
  • Accelerate healing in sick or injured animals, or animals recovering from surgery
  • Help reduce pain and inflammation
  • Help reduce behavior problems and aggression
  • Help reduce the effects of fear and fearful events, such as thunder or a trip to the vet
  • Help abused animals heal from past mental/physical trauma
  • Complement conventional and alternative therapies
  • Lessen the side-effects of other medical treatments
  • Support the dying process

Meet Sherry

Reiki has been used with humans since the 1800’s, and is offered in many hospitals, medical practices, hospice programs, cancer centers and clinics around the world, including the US. Reiki is lesser known as a holistic system for animals, but as knowledge of human Reiki successes and benefits spreads, more and more human companions are seeking out Reiki as a healing support for their beloved animals. In recent years, Animal Reiki has moved into the veterinary world, now including FloridaWild Integrative Veterinary Center & Urgent Care.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to work with the FloridaWild Integrative Veterinary Center & Urgent Care team and animals. I have been a FloridaWild Integrative Veterinary Center & Urgent Care client for over 10 years. I love offering Reiki for all the animals here who want it, watching them accept it and then the healing that takes place. I experience animals as sentient beings and am personally touched, moved and inspired when I am fortunate enough to talk with them or offer Reiki.”
