Animals are naturally connected to energy.

Long before humans learn to trust their intuition, animals rely on it every day. They sense emotions, shifts in energy, changes in their environment, and often respond to things that can’t always be explained through words alone.
Because of this natural sensitivity, many animals respond beautifully to Reiki.
At Self Empowered Minds, Pet Reiki sessions are offered by Reiki Master Saba Hocek and are designed to support your animal companion’s physical, emotional, mental, and energetic well-being. Whether your pet is adjusting to change, aging gracefully, recovering from a stressful experience, or simply in need of energetic support, Reiki offers a gentle, non-invasive approach that honors the animal’s own wisdom.

What Is Pet Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, balance, and overall wellness.
During a Reiki session, universal life force energy is channeled through the practitioner to support the body’s natural ability to restore harmony. Animals often receive Reiki with remarkable openness because they have not developed the same mental filters and resistance that humans frequently carry.
Reiki does not force change. Instead, it provides energetic support while allowing the body, mind, and spirit to respond in the way that is most appropriate for that animal.

Why Pet Owners Seek Reiki

Pet owners seek Reiki for many different reasons.

Some are looking for additional support for senior animals who may be slowing down with age. Others are helping a rescue animal adjust to a new environment. Some seek Reiki for anxious pets, while others simply want to support their companion’s overall wellness and gain a deeper understanding of their pet pal.

Common reasons clients schedule Pet Reiki include:
Stress and anxiety
Life transitions and environmental changes
Adjusting after adoption or rescue
Emotional healing after loss or trauma
Support during aging
Relaxation and comfort
Enhancing well-being
Strengthening the human-animal bond
Every animal is unique, and every session unfolds differently.

What Happens During a Pet Reiki Session?

Sessions take place in our Upper East Side office in Manhattan.

 

Your pet is given time to become comfortable with both the environment and with Saba. Animals are never restrained and are always free to move throughout the session.

 

Some pets immediately settle into a relaxed position and remain there for much of the session. Others explore the room and choose to engage with the Reiki energy in their own way. All responses are welcomed. We encourage the pet parent to be present in the room.

 

Reiki may be offered through gentle touch when appropriate or through hands held slightly above the body. The focus remains on creating a calm, supportive environment where the animal feels safe and respected.

 

Following the session, Saba shares her observations and discusses any insights that arose during the experience.

Pet Reiki with a Reading

For pet owners seeking a deeper understanding of their companion, Self Empowered Minds also offers Pet Reiki combined with an intuitive reading.
During these extended sessions, Reiki energy healing is combined with intuitive insights that may help illuminate emotional patterns, behavioral concerns, energetic imbalances, or messages the animal may wish to communicate. Your pet may express who or what they deeply enjoy or a discomfort they may have.
Many clients find this combination helpful when navigating significant life transitions, behavioral changes, or simply seeking a deeper connection with their animal companion.

Why Choose Self Empowered Minds?

Reiki Is the Foundation of the Practice

Reiki is one of the core healing modalities at Self Empowered Minds. Saba Hocek is a Reiki Master in the Usui/Holy Fire® lineage who not only works with clients but also trains Reiki individuals in Reiki from personal healing to practitioner and master level. The same Reiki principles, techniques, and lineage used throughout the practice are brought into every pet session.

An Intuitive and Personalized Approach

Every animal receives Reiki differently. Sessions are guided by the needs and comfort level of the animal rather than following a rigid protocol. Animals are honored as active participants in the process, allowing them to receive exactly what they need in their own time and in their own way.

Supporting the Whole Being

At Self Empowered Minds, Reiki is viewed as support for the physical, emotional, mental, and energetic aspects of well-being. The goal is not simply symptom relief but creating greater harmony throughout the entire system.

Important Note

Pet Reiki is a complementary wellness service and is not veterinary medical care. Reiki does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease and should not replace appropriate veterinary treatment.
Animals experiencing illness, injury, behavioral concerns, or medical symptoms should remain under the care of a licensed veterinarian. Reiki may be used alongside veterinary care as part of a holistic approach to wellness.
