*I am not offering sessions on animals at this time.*

To anyone that has loved and lost a beloved fur-baby, I send you my most heartfelt condolences.

This is Prismo, the sweetest pup I have ever had the honor of loving. Now, why do I have a slideshow of my dog on a website about Reiki? Prismo played a very big part in my Reiki journey, benefitting the both of us. In memory of him, the bond we had, and him being the reason I decided to go as far as I did with the Reiki, I am keeping this here.

Prismo developed canine epilepsy in August 2025, at exactly 1 ½ years old that worsened over time. The side effects of the medications were the worst. The medications were helping with the management of the seizures and he didn’t have any seizures or hospitalizations for THREE months! But he was still really struggling with side effects. He could no longer jump up on the bed, the couch, into the vehicles, and his legs would give out while running. He was so lethargic, he didn’t play nearly as often or as long – normally, if his eyes were open, there was a ball/toy in his mouth and you were going to play with him whether you wanted to or not! He stopped following us everywhere we went and just wasn’t the Velcro pup we were so used to. It was heartbreaking.

Not only that, but his labs were slightly concerning leaving very little wiggle room for adjusting his dose or adding other medications.

I was told about a Reiki class by a friend, which I decided on a whim to take to see if it could help my own chronic struggles. It did help me, but it also helped get our boy’s energy back!

After the first class I was told I should be practicing daily, so every day I did my own personal practice. I also started practicing on my husband a few times per week. After about a week, I decided to try it out on Pris to see if it would help with his pain because our daily massages on him didn’t seem to be making much of a difference. A few moments after I laid my hands on his legs and felt the Reiki energy flow through me, I could feel the muscles in his back legs finally relax…he fell asleep a few minutes later.

After seeing how much it helped, I started giving him Reiki one to three times per day and it didn’t take long for him to get his spark back. He had a lot more energy and was able to jump on the bed, couch and into the vehicles again! So I signed up for the Reiki II class and continued with the routine of providing Reiki for myself and Prismo daily while practicing on friends and family.

I noticed such a difference in my husband’s migraines, how I was doing, and Prismo acting like a puppy again, I decided to take the Reiki Master class. I wanted to learn all that I could about Reiki and potentially teach others how to help their own loved ones.

After the final class in April 2026, we had to take him in again for follow up labs…..his levels had gone down!! We were shocked. We had to increase one of his medication doses, so we didn’t expect that at all.  

We had a very good summer with our sweet baby. I stayed home more over the summer and deferred starting my business for a few months. I’m so glad I did. I felt like giving Pris Reiki that often not only helped him, but also helped me. It kept me motivated to continue learning, trying to help others and now starting my own business. But most importantly, it made us closer. I could write a book about everything he did for my heart and soul. Unfortunately, this cruel disease ended up being too much for him.  I have never experienced a loss as hard as this one. 

You were robbed of a long, healthy life, but you sure brought so much light and love into our hearts and everyone else who had the pleasure of being around you. We love you Prismo! ❤️🐶
