Searching for Reiki for dogs anxiety Denver? Meet Gillian, a certified Canine Therapeutic Massage Therapist (CTMT) Advanced Canine Massage Therapist (ACMT) and a member of International Association of Animal Massage & Body Works (IAAMB).

Dog massage gives your dog your love! It increases the bond you already have with your dog. Those regular dog massage sessions are also a great way to do a weekly wellness check to assess any changes in your dog’s health. Is there a new lump or bump? Is there a sore that won’t heal? Does your dog flinch when you touch a particular spot? By detecting problems earlier, you can alert your veterinarian and thus nip a more serious problem in the bud. You’re giving your dog a gift of something that they cannot do for themselves, like treat their paws, or rub their neck. They can’t tell you “it itches here, it hurts here.” But through dog massage, you can learn to read signals and notice changes with an educated eye.
Growing up in England and living on three continents provided Gillian with an understanding of how traditional, alternative and holistic therapies can work together to help heal the mind, body and spirit of humans and animals. She began her career practicing Reiki on human clients, achieving the level of Reiki Master and receiving Karuna and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) certification. It was several years ago, while practicing in-person Reiki for a human client, she realized her ability to communicate with animals when the client’s dog began to communicate directly with her.

A session of Reiki for dogs is a bit different. For starters, dogs aren’t usually apt to hop up on a massage table and lie quietly on their back for an hour. They may also prefer to receive Reiki from a distance, like across the room, rather than have the practitioner touch them. A good way to start is for the practitioner to sit on the floor with the dog in the room. Invite the dog to share in the Reiki session if the dog so desires.
Reiki energy can be given to your dog in regularly scheduled intervals or as needed. Because it is a gentle and non-invasive energy modality, it can be used safely with any animal no matter the age, size or breed. Recently I provided Reiki for my client’s dog that was suffering from a chronic ear infection. The veterinarian prescribed some ear ointment that needed to be placed in both ears of their dog twice a day for two weeks. This can be a real challenge when a dog is not feeling well and doesn’t want you to touch it, let alone place a greasy ointment in its ears. I provided Reiki for their dog each day in order to support the dog’s physical healing as well as to provide a calming energy for their dog. This allowed their dog to stay calm during each of the twice-daily ointment treatments and their dog accepted them doing the treatments by lying still during these times.
Reiki Energy Healing Helps Bring Peace to Percy and his Family. When 2-year old Percy wasn’t acting like his usual self, his owner wasn’t sure what was going on. After finding out from the vet that he had health issues, she wanted to check in with her dog to help him relax and heal. “Gillian Edwards is an amazing animal healer and communicator! I asked for her help with my 2-year old dog Percy and I was astounded with her ability to articulate his personality and help our family understand him on a deeper level. He is my brave little knight in white armor! Gillian also conducted a healing session for Percy and I could see the relief and calm she brought to him. Thank you Gillian, for helping Percy and our family heal together!” Source: https://fourpawsholistictherapy.com/.
