Pawsome World of Reiki for Animals
A FREE Accredited Course for you to Attend



Welcome to the Pawsome World of Reiki for Animals
'Living or Working with Animals is a blessing and a pleasure,
imagine if you could strengthen that bond through Reiki'.
Reiki helps with a number of things that our animals present to us, Anxiety, Stress, Pain, and Behavioural Issues. The power of Reiki would help both owner and animal live in a more comfortable and calmer environment together. As a reiki practitioner you would be able to understand your animals emotions and be able to help soothe those feelings.
In the Beginning:
Here at Reiki Tradition School of Reiki, working closely with student and fellow colleague Lynnette Jackson Mfht, we have put together 'The Pawsome World of Reiki for Animals' especially for animals and animal lovers and carers, whether that's at home or in a professional environment. We will talk and guide you through Reiki healing and how to help your animal with any ailments present. We will give you guidance and knowledge on reading an animal's body language and talk and demonstrate everything regarding Reiki for Animals. So, whether you're a pet owner or a professional or wanting to work within the animal world this course is for everyone to help animals live a Happier, Healthier, Holistic Life. This course gives you the unique opportunity to practice on real animals with real ailments.
We were finding that a lot of our students wanted to work with animals but were very unsure where to start, here at Reiki Tradition School of Reiki we decided to create a Two-day Animal healing course where you could come along and listen to a professional accredited course provider and teachers and meet likeminded people and a chance to network and to practice on real animals with real ailments.
The Pawsome World of Reiki for Animals was Born:
Soon after our initial thought on creating the course ‘The Pawsome world of Reiki for Animals’, we decided to rapidly move forward and advance this course and introduce this as an Accredited CPD Course. We approached our accreditors the Complementary Health Professionals who in turn work alongside with the Reiki Council - Reiki for Animals (RC) to start the process of Accreditation and Verification. Reiki Tradition School of Reiki are the only Accredited CPD Course for Animal Reiki, held with the CHP and the RC. After doing some research there are other organisations and society's offering very similar courses, however these courses are not open to the general public and only remain for members only.
It has always been our policy that everyone is welcome to learn how to carry out Reiki on Animals either on their own animals for domestic use or working professionally within Statutory Settings such as veterinary Surgeries, or Animal shelters or homes. This course is beneficial to those who are already Reiki Practitioners, but who's training wasn't to the Core Curriculum, this course can be classes as further development. This course will teach you ‘Reiki on Animals’. Because this course is classified as 'Reiki for Animals' Students attending need to meet certain criteria and pre-requisites.
There is no better way and certainly no other Animal Reiki Course where you will be offered a unique chance to practice on live animals with real ailments, we will show you Reiki Healing techniques covering a huge amount of different scenarios of Illness.
