Tending Pets FAQs

What types of pets do you work with?

I work with all animals—including dogs, cats, sensitive senior pets, and rescues. If your companion is open to receiving gentle energy care, I’m here to support them. And yes, I work with humans too—because healing often flows both ways.

Where are you located? Do you travel?

I’m based in Kansas City and serve the metro area, including Johnson County, KS. I offer in-home sessions locally, as well as Zoom sound baths and remote Reiki healing for animals anywhere in the world. I’m also open to traveling for special cases or collaborations—reach out and let’s chat.

What is pet sound healing, and how does it help?

Pet sound healing uses calming instruments—like crystal bowls, chimes, and tongue drums—to create frequencies that soothe the nervous system, reduce stress, and support your pet’s natural healing response. Many pets visibly relax, sleep, or show signs of calm after just one session.

What is Reiki for pets?

Reiki is a gentle energy healing technique that promotes balance, calm, and connection. It’s especially helpful for:

• Anxious pets

• Senior animals or those in transition

• Animals healing from trauma or surgery

• Shelter or rescue animals adapting to a new home

I’m certified in Reiki and bring over 15 years of holistic wellness experience to each session. You can learn more about how Reiki works and why it’s powerful for pets in this article about Reiki for animals.

What happens during a session?

Every session is customized. Whether in-person or virtual, I’ll connect with your pet’s energy, offer sound or Reiki, and adjust based on their cues. I may use crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, tongue drums, or my voice to create calming vibrational resonance.

If virtual, you’ll receive a link and instructions to help create a peaceful environment at home. Learn more about the benefits of Sound Healing in this article about sound baths for pets.

How long is a session?

• Initial sessions are typically 60 minutes

• Follow-ups range from 30 to 60 minutes

• Custom sound recordings are usually 10–20 minutes long and made just for your pet’s needs

Can I join the session with my pet?

Absolutely. I highly recommend pet + human duo sessions for co-regulation, grief processing, or shared energetic healing. This is especially powerful if you and your animal companion are navigating transitions or emotional challenges together.

How do I know if energy work is right for my pet?

If your pet is:

• Pacing, hiding, or displaying signs of stress

• Recovering from illness or surgery

• Struggling with separation or new environments

• Simply sensitive or aging

• Any pet in need of holistic well-being

  All pets may benefit from this kind of support. Many clients report deeper rest, improved behavior, or a stronger connection after sessions.
