💜🐾 Healing on His Own Terms 💜Supporting an Anxious Traveler 🐾🚘
Over the weekend, I had the absolute pleasure of sharing a beautiful Animal Reiki session with the most handsome little client a gorgeous Bichon Frise ‘Skye’ who has been carrying a lot of stress lately.
🧡His dedicated caregivers reached out to me because he has been experiencing severe travel anxiety. Car rides have become incredibly overwhelming for him, and despite being on veterinary prescribed medication to help soothe his nerves, his family could see he was still deeply struggling. They wanted to offer him an extra layer of holistic, gentle support.
Because I practice the Let Animals Lead® method, this session wasn’t about forcing a treatment or demanding that he sit still. Animals are highly sensitive to energy, and when they are already anxious, forcing physical contact can add to their stress.
Instead, I sat quietly in meditation, creating a calm, safe space, and simply invited him in.
💛The beauty of the Let Animals Lead® approach is that the animal is completely in control. He had the freedom to move around the room, keep his distance, or come close whenever he felt ready. By honoring his autonomy, something beautiful happened. We shared some truly lovely moments of deep stillness and pure connection. As he settled into the peaceful energy, he willingly stepped into that quiet space, absorbing exactly what he needed on his own terms.
💜At the end of our session, he gave me the sweetest "thank you" with a wee lick on my hand. When it was time for me to say goodbye, he even began to whimper, not wanting our peaceful time together to end!
💛The absolute best part? His caregivers reached out afterward to let me know that the long car journey he took shortly after our session went wonderfully well. They felt that his medication and the Reiki session were a lovely, supportive combination for him.
Healing is a journey, and our animals are active partners in it. It’s such an honor to see how beautifully holistic care and veterinary support can work hand in hand to bring comfort to our beloved companions.✨
