THE THREE COMPANION PATHWAYS

Together. At a Distance. In Community.

Rooted in Animal Reiki, Meditation, and grounded Earth Energy, these offerings provide gentle, presence-based support for animals and their people, both in-person in the Denver area and at a distance.


COMPANION CONNECTION

A shared Animal Reiki based experience combined with grounded Earth Energy that deepens the bond between you and your animal through calm, connected presence.

  • Guided experience for you + your animal

  • Supports relaxation, connection, and mutual nervous system regulation

  • Animals may be living or in spirit

  • In-person at your home, or distantly via zoom or phone


COMPANION CALM

Gentle, distance Animal Reiki sessions to help your animal relax, regulate, and feel at ease, creating the conditions for the body’s natural healing processes to flow more freely.

  • Animal-only, distance support

  • Ideal for sensitive, senior, or energetically overwhelmed animals

  • Offered remotely, in their own environment


THE COMPANION GARDEN

A monthly space for ongoing group Animal Reiki support through distance group sessions, offering calm, consistency, connection, and care for you and your animal over time.

A Shared Experience - Distance Companion Connection Experience

“Jaime has worked with my dog Bogey and I distantly in recent months - we live in different states. As someone who has only experienced reiki in person until working with Jaime, I was skeptical about how effective distant reiki sessions would be for me, not to mention for my dog. Within minutes of beginning our session, I could undoubtedly feel a strong energetic connection with Jaime from states away. As someone who struggles with anxiety, it was so comforting to feel a complete sense of calm wash over me during our session. Upon completion of the session, I felt grounded, motivated, and slept soundly that night!

As for my dog Bogey, he’s typically very high energy and has a tendency to be hard headed if he doesn’t want to do something. During the session, he was very calm and well behaved, which lasted for a few days after our first session as well. I felt our connection deepen and a sense of greater trust between us was built. The following days after our first session, he listened better and followed commands, seemed more focused on our walks, and was a more confident dog. 

All skepticism of distant reiki sessions was completely gone after our first session! Jaime is a gifted practitioner who genuinely cares about strengthening the bond between her four legged clients and their humans. Bogey and I look forward to working with Jaime for years to come!”

 FAQ’s

Frequently Asked Questions:


Q: I understand your Connection & Calm sessions are inspired by the Let Animals Lead® Method of Animal Reiki. How is this different from other modalities I may have experienced?

A: The Let Animals Lead® Method of Animal Reiki incorporates the traditional Reiki precepts and symbols brought forward by Mikao Usui. It also may include chanting, meditation, qi gong and other energy healing techniques. Each practitioner may bring thier own experiences forward to enhance the experience.

It was developed by Kathleen Prasad to be meditative and draw on the innate connectivity of all energy and energetic beings. During an Companion Connection session, we collaborate to create a space of balance, harmony, and peace. The practice does not require touch or proximity. This innate connection to light and love exists within us all, regardless of species, and creates space for healing connection, whether in person or from a distance.

This practice is based in meditation and a way of being with animals. We are not focused on hands-on healing or “doing” Reiki to a pet. Instead, we connect by “being” Reiki - getting grounded, coming into full presence, and open our hearts - with a companion. Meditating together from a place of mutual respect, recognizing animals as our teachers and healers, we collaborate to create a space for energetic healing.


Q: What is the difference between Companion Calm and Companion Connection sessions?

A: The simple difference is that one approach is focused solely on animals and provided from a distance (Companion Calm), while the other includes directed healing for humans as well as animals. Companion Connection Sessions includes guided grounding, followed by a brief, hands-on energy regulation session for humans to balance, harmonize, and reset energy flow to match what is most comfortable for the animals, followed by a guided meditation while I hold a focused, consistent Reiki space for the whole family to open deep heart connections.


Q: When do you recommend an Companion Connection Session?

A: This practice is perfect for our first experience together because animals, especially those new to energy work or who are anxious, fearful or in pain, often relax more quickly when we focus on their human instead of on them. They can choose to join the session to support their human(s) or for their own healing. 

This collaborative work also gently and effectively supports loss and grief for the entire family, and is a loving way to welcome a new animal to your home through the intentional creation of an energetic connection and space of belonging. Companion animals are kind and sensitive to the needs and emotions of the people with whom they share a home, and they are likely to relax into Reiki and other energetic modalities when sharing the experience with their human companion(s).

When we heal ourselves, we heal our world and those who share it with us.


Q: Are Animal Reiki based services a substitute for veterinary care?

A: Animal Reiki, and other energetic healing and support methods, are not a substitute for medical diagnosis and treatment. Reiki practitioners, including me, do not diagnose conditions, nor do they prescribe, perform medical treatment, nor interfere with the treatment of a licensed medical professional. I recommend you take your animal to a licensed veterinarian or other licensed health-care professional for the diagnosis and medical treatment of any ailment, and let me support you in that healing journey.


Q: What areas do you visit in-person?

A: In person, I currently offer Companion Connection experiences within a 15 mile radius of Englewood, CO and distantly for those residing beyond this area. Travel fees may apply outside of this range.

For Companion Calm distant sessions, there is unlimited reach. Regardless of miles, we can connect across time and space, including with our beloved pets who have crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.

The Companion Garden provides a digital space to gather free of social media channels - a safe space where you can focus solely on your connection to animals. There is no distance too great here.
