Honoring connection between animals and their companions

Senior cat loves pets, a senior dog and cat receive in-home pet sitting, and a mindful reiki and feline behavior session - The Empowered Companion offers gentle support for aging pets, emotional wellness, and the sacred human-animal bond.

At The Empowered Companionยฎ, our mission is to honor and nurture the profound bond between humans and animals.

We are dedicated to providing calm, compassionate, collaborative care that supports and celebrates this connection. Through services such as Animal Reiki, Compassionate Care Pet Sitting, Feline Behavior Modification, and Companion Animal End-of-Life Doula Services, we aim to empower both animals and their human companions.

Our goal is to foster a harmonious relationship that enhances the well-being of all beings involved.

Our vision is a world where animals are honored as sentient beings with their own agency, emotions, and wisdom. Through our work with companion animals, we strive to foster relationships built on mutual respect, deep connection, and compassionate careโ€”where humans recognize animals as sacred partners in their shared journey.

We believe that by transforming the way people interact with the animals in their daily lives, we create ripples of kindness that extend not only to other furry, feathered, and scaled family members but to people and animals of all kinds, shaping a more compassionate world for every living being.

 ::: Light of Compassion :::

Clients come to us to help forge an equal and sustainable connection to the animals in their lives. We open space for love, authenticity, agency, and sovereignty. 

We passionately support and celebrate the human-animal bond through subtle energy healing modalities, informed pet sitting services, evidence-based training and pet guardian education.

โ€œJaimeโ€™s love for our kitties is evident and they can definitely detect her calming and healing energy- I'm quite convinced they actually like her more than us and are upset when we return home. If Jaime isn't available to watch them, chances are we aren't leaving town!โ€
