What is Reiki: Reiki is a holistic healing technique based on the principle that the practitioner works with the dog's own energy to assist in the natural healing process. Animals respond to loving touch and can benefit from reiki as a way to relax, reduce stress and restore physical and emotional well-being. Reiki is not a cure for disease or illness, but it may assist the body in creating an environment to facilitate healing.
***Canine massage, Reiki and other holistic modalities are not a substitute for veterinary care or treatment, but rather a cooperative form of treatment.***
