I help your pets feel better naturally, with Reiki for Animals

Now seeing new clients at Pet Wellness & Therapy
(170 Flanders Road, East Lyme, CT, 06357) and offering home visits for Old Lyme, CT & the neighboring communities.

Your pet is your best friend. They’re by your side when you need them most, and you want to be sure they’re living their healthiest, happiest life. 🩷

When you know something isn’t quite right with your pet, and nothing you try leads to improvement, it can feel powerless.

Maybe, there was a recent change at home, and your companion isn’t adjusting the way you expected them to…

Have you tried new diets? Experimented with alternative treatments?

Do you have an overwhelming pile of vet bills on your kitchen counter?

You want your pet to be as comfortable as possible…
And your heart aches when you know they’re not enjoying life to the fullest.

Hey animal lover, I’m Ella -
Reiki practitioner for people and pets. 🐾

I understand how stressful it can be when your best friend just isn’t themselves.

I help dogs, cats, horses, and animals of all kinds:

  • find more energy and playfulness

  • exhibit less anxiousness

  • lessen aggressive behavior

  • rest more deeply

  • recover from illness or injury

  • adapt to life changes and transitions

  • and improve their overall wellbeing

Whether you have a newly adopted pet or a beloved friend nearing the end of life, I’ve got you covered.

Here’s what my clients are saying:

“Ella has an extraordinary and gracious gift with animal Reiki. After my little and previously very anxious dog received her services, I quickly booked her for another session with my older, larger dog with chronic inflammation.

Not only were there noticeable improvements after each session, the insights she offered also gave me tangible steps in better caring for my doggos.

I highly recommend Ella and her animal Reiki!”

- Abi, Chester, and Sophie

“Sammy used to nip at most new strangers. After Ella worked with him, his aggression is almost non-existent.

Even after a cross-country relocation, his inner puppy has re-emerged at 15 years of age… He jumps, plays, licks, and snuggles now more than ever. We are delighted!”

- Jan, Pat, and Sammy

“From the moment I met Ella, she reframed what healing and self-love could look like.

I was encouraged to show up with no expectations and was quickly amazed at what surfaced, not only in-session, but also in the days and weeks to follow our time together.

I was given exercises and guidance to assist with the processing of my discovered feelings, and each time I left her presence feeling more empowered than when I walked in.

Ella helped me discover the powerful potential I have within myself and made addressing trauma not-so-scary. It is because of her that I can face the realities of my life with confidence.

She is an invaluable resource and goes out of her way to make healing approachable for her community. She is kind and patient, offering a judgement-free space to explore both childhood and adult experiences.

Every session is like a warm hug from a dear friend, and I will be eternally grateful for our time together.”

- Aquinnah

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a loving energy consisting of the same universal life force with all of us. Reiki treatments address imbalances on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level.

They encourage harmony and unity to restore the natural ability of our cells to heal and create balance.

It’s unsure exactly what animals feel when receiving Reiki, but they do become quieter and more relaxed. They seem to recognize this energy and understand that they are being helped.

Reasons to Choose Reiki for Animals

  • You feel general relaxation and stress relief are needed for your pet

  • For comfort and calm in specifically difficult times

  • End of life comforts and transition

  • Preparing for travel or distance relocation with your pet

  • Support for adjusting to new environments

  • Specific ailments or injury

  • To further increase wellness and vitality in your loved one

What to Expect

Initial sessions are approximately 90 minutes. This creates space for time getting acquainted with you and your pet, and allows your pet time to get comfortable with me. We’ll briefly review your intake form and make sure you’ve signed a consent form before I begin offering Reiki.

It will also include time to discuss what’s uncovered during our session, afterward, and address any questions you have. We’ll go over my best recommendations to support your companion moving forward, and make sure you know what to expect in the hours and days that follow a Reiki session.

Reiki can be offered in a hands-on or hands-off manner, depending on your pet’s needs—both are equally as effective.

Clients commonly leave the room once their pets begin to relax, which helps the animal settle into their energy (and disconnect from the energy of their person) for the deepest benefit to them.*However, every session is adapted to your unique needs and comfort—you are welcome to remain with your pet for the duration of the session if you prefer.

Animals typically get their “fill” with Reiki energy more quickly than most humans and benefit from more frequent treatments. Most follow-up sessions will only require 30 - 60 minutes.

Distance Animal Reiki sessions can also be performed upon request and can be as beneficial as in-person care.

Initial Animal Reiki Session - Home Visit

I offer home visits for Animal Reiki on a case-by-case basis for Old Lyme and nearby communities along the Eastern Connecticut Shoreline.

Home visits are perfect for larger animals or when travel isn’t feasible for you or your pet. Initial sessions in the animal’s home environment include time getting acquainted with you and your pet, while also allowing them to grow comfortable with my presence.

Initial home visits begin at $175 and vary based on travel distance, animal type, and number of animals receiving Reiki.

You are welcome to contact me with any questions to help you determine if Reiki is the right fit for your animal: ella@vibrancyartella.com

I’ve worked with pets large and small—at all stages of life—and witnessed the profound and lasting benefits of Reiki. 💫

I love working with animals because they are endlessly receptive to the energy and eager to feel their best!

I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends.

If you have an animal experiencing severe behavioral difficulties, with a history of aggression, or with a sensitive injury or wound, please be direct in disclosing this to me ahead of time…

This does not rule out treatment but instead allows us to find the most suitable approach to ensure the safety and well-being of both the animal and the practitioner. Thank you.

*Reiki practitioners do not diagnose or prescribe and are not a substitute for medical treatment.

However, if you feel something is out of balance with your animal and have not seen improvement with other methods, it may be time to try this gentle and natural approach.

If you have further questions about the benefits of Reiki for animals, please email me at ella@vibrancyartella.com.

I’d be happy to discuss your needs and find out if Reiki is right for your unique situation.
