Reiki Master / Intuitive 

Sessions for People & Beloved Animals


Reiki is a belief that we are all energetic beings in a universe of infinite energy.  Attuned practitioners can channel this energy to balance the energetic wellness of both humans and animals.  The practice of Reiki originated in Tibet and was brought to Japan;  now the belief that our energy centers can be balanced to aid in wellness has gained a strong following around the globe.

  • It is offered in major medical centers as an aid to rebalance the body after surgery and during medical treatments such as chemotherapy.
  • Reiki is not a substitute for medical intervention, it is an aid to balance and bring into harmony one’s physical, mental, and spiritual energy centers during times of stress or illness.
  • I am a Certified Reiki Master and offer Reiki Energy sessions on both people and on beloved pet companions.  Reiki energy may be sent distantly, the energy does not need to be channeled to clients "hands on."
I work as an Intuitive Counselor and Pet Communicator, offering sessions through email.  I have clients around the globe and have posted testimonials about my Pet Communication work on the Briar Rose testimonial page.  Communication sessions offer pet owners a glimpse into the emotions of pets and can help balance the energy in the home environment.  Scheduling a session for a pet owner whose loved one has transitioned to the Rainbow Bridge can offer comfort and will be deeply appreciated.

My intuitive work is done for guidance purposes only, each client has the personal direction of his or her life path entirely in his or her own hands.  Testimonials on my Intuitive Sessions are also posted on the Briar Rose Testimonial Page.

I also offer Tarot Sessions.   The art of reading the cards goes back generations in my family.....my sessions are not like others you might have had.  I do not ask any "leading" questions........I do not watch facial expressions to gain "clues"  My sessions are done entirely through the email.  Along with Tarot, I schedule Celtic/Druidic Astrology readings, you can read more on the Shop page about each of these sessions.

Blessings and Light,

What is Reiki?


Reiki is a Tibetan form of energy channeling, employing the gentle placement of hands in an non-intrusive manner. The name originates from the Japanese rei, meaning universal and ki, meaning energy. Reiki can also be directed with the intention of balance to clients all around the globe; the intention does not diminish with distance. So, even though you may be reading this thousands of miles from my home; you can still receive the benefits of a session scheduled hands on.

Reiki benefits the whole body, the mind, the spirit, and the physical being. The positive results include relaxation, and a general feeling of well being. Both humans and animals possess an energy flow throughout their bodies. Reiki restores and balances energy by reducing stress and enhancing relaxation. Reiki does not claim to act as a substitute for conventional medical treatment, but is a complement to medical treatment to soothe and balance. If your wellness is out of balance, please speak to your medical doctor about the benefits of incorporating Reiki into your life. Although Reiki does embrace a spiritual dimension; it has absolutely no association with religion, and will not conflict with any beliefs.

The holistic community has welcomed Reiki for use in stress reduction, energetic, and emotional balance. Reiki is routinely offered in a growing number of prestigious hospitals. It is offered before and after surgery. The relaxed state induced by Reiki allows patients to better cope with conventional therapies, such as chemotherapy, radiation, etc.

Veterinarians are also embracing Reiki to complement animal therapies. Our beloved pets can feel all the same benefits their human companions do. I have cared for an number of elderly, disabled, and terminally ill animals in my home during the last several years. I have seen the benefits Reiki can provide to add to their comfort; our beloved pets can feel all the same benefits their human companions do. First and foremost, Reiki is gentle and painless. Animals feel comfortable receiving it.

Reiki can do no harm to either the recipient or the practitioner.



Benefits of Reiki


Reiki for Cardiac Patients as a Complement to Conventional Treatment

Cardiac patients know the emphasis placed on living a stress-free life. Reiki can be an invaluable aid in stress reduction. Reiki is routinely used in major hospitals before and after surgery. Reiki can be a complementary energy for patients who have recently undergone major heart surgery, aiding them on the road to recovery. This soothing energy can help aid in any depression that can overshadow a person's recovery. Most importantly, Reiki can cause no harm to the person receiving it. It is often talked about in the spiritual sense; but has no religious association.

Reiki for our Senior Pets, Fearful and Aggressive Pets, and Newly Adopted Pets

I have had much success in prolonging a comfortable life in senior animals. I have given Reiki to many elderly animals and have had pet owners relay stories of Reiki ‘s positive effect on beloved pets lives. Testimonials that write of easing mobility in arthritic animals and boosting energy and immunity levels in disease or advanced age compromised conditions can be read on the testimonial page. Reiki can be given without even touching the animal directly, so skittish pets can also receive a beneficial treatment. Animals can even be left in carriers if very fearful or aggressive. It is even possible to direct Reiki on birds in their cages. As in people, this soothing energy balances the emotional energy of our pets as well; many people adopting troubled pets who have led lives of trauma and abuse have told me Reiki has made the transition to a new environment much easier on everyone in the home. Please talk with your veterinarian about incorporating Reiki into your pet’s life. Read through testimonials from satisfied clients and decide if you wish to try Reiki to help balance your pet’s energy.
