Скачать или смотреть In-Person vs. Distant Animal Reiki: What Works, What Doesn’t, and How to Prepare

In this session, I (led by SARA Co-Founder Leah D’Ambrosio) explore the real science and real practice behind in-person and distant animal Reiki—so you can decide with clarity what’s best for your companion and how to prepare.

Welcome—thank you for being here. I’m Leah D’Ambrosio, and in this session, we compare in-person versus distant animal Reiki, based on both practice and the latest published research.

Whether you’re new to Reiki or a long-time practitioner, you’ll walk away with clear takeaways:

We cover how and why the recent study “Impact of Distant Reiki on Owner Assessment of Health and Wellbeing of Adult Dogs: A Blinded, Placebo‑controlled, Randomized Trial” showed meaningful pain relief for dogs receiving distant Reiki. AHVMA [https://www.ahvma.org/wp-content/uplo...]

I share how that research applies (and doesn’t apply) to in-person sessions and what variables matter: animal age, health condition, your presence vs. distance, guardian observation.

Practical preparation tips: what you do before a session (in-person or distant) to support clarity, receptivity, and safety for the animal.

What to expect during and after a session: how to observe changes (in behaviour, pain levels, stress signs) and how to record/analyse them—which is especially useful if you work in a shelter or with rescue animals.

Honest discussion of what isn’t yet proven: what the study didn’t show significant effects on (e.g., emotional/behavioural variables), and how that shapes our expectations. AHVMA [https://www.ahvma.org/wp-content/uplo...]

If you care for animals in captivity, rescue settings, or practice animal Reiki as part of your work or personal life, this is for you. We’re not chasing buzzwords—we’re looking at grounded support, real questions, and a clear path forward.
