Animal Reiki Certification
Shoden (level 1)
Would you like to:
-
deepen the relationship with your animal?
-
learn a holistic approach to healing your pet that is complementary to veterinary care?
-
begin a spiritual practice that gives you the tools to ground yourself and connect to your inner wisdom?
If you are an animal lover, veterinarian, veterinary technician, volunteer / employee in a shelter, animal healthcare professional, then this certification is for you!
​
Using breathing and meditation techniques from Traditional Japanese Reiki, you will learn to:
​
-
create a safe healing space for animals
-
open up to animal wisdom
-
support emotionally and physically the animals around you
Every animal knows more than you do
- Native American proverb
I have been providing comfort to animals (and their humans) for over 10 years. Whether it is physically, emotionally or even spiritually, my mission is to support pets' well-being in a gentle and non invasive way that is complementary to veterinary care.
Born and raised in France, I studied biology and graduated with a M.Sc in marine biology and environmental management.I have lived in Canada for more than a decade and after learning from different Reiki lineages, I now teach animal lovers the Let Animals Lead® method by Kathleen Prasad, based on mindfulness techniques from traditional Japanese Reiki.
This method profoundly changed my approach to animal Reiki treatments and allowed me to open up to the ancestral wisdom of the animal and vegetable kingdom. Certified in Traditional Chinese medicine and nutrition for dogs and cats, I'm also an animal communicator and I'm happy to bring all my knowledge to be of service to animals and their humans.

"The universe works in mysterious says....My journey and desire to hug a cow..yes hug a cow led me to a weekend Reiki with Animals seminar...I didn't even read what I was signing up for...all I knew was that I would have a chance to get an intro to Reiki with animals so I signed up immediately. There really are no words to describe what I experienced...however I'll do my best to explain. I started my journey wanting to hug a cow and instead I experience a weekend full of amazing connections to not only these beautiful animals...also connections with some of the most amazing women I've ever met. Each so different yet connected through our hearts...our desires...our love of animals and this beautiful world. With all that is happening around us it is more important than ever to tap into the beauty...the loving energy that is all around us. This seminar allowed me to experience that. I have never in my life been so relaxed...the whole weekend I was in bliss...learning to create a safe space of healing is magical...to feel that connection...feel that moment when a beautiful animal trusts you...connects with you is an absolutely wonderful sensation - I felt and still feel charged from the sessions in May. Sonia ... Thank you...thank you for creating such a great space...like a little peace of heaven...at times was difficult to let go...to connect...brought up emotion...and you said to trust the process...and it was amazing. I will be signing up for the seminar in September. Looking forward to it and seeing you!!"

Beautiful!!

"I wish to sincerely thank you for a fabulous and very informative Animal Reiki workshop. I’ve never experienced such eagerness in learning the process of connecting to our animal family. I thank you for being such a wonderful teacher, patient and wise in your knowledge. ​

"I am so grateful that I found my way to Sonia and her Reiki training. It has been such a beautiful experience. I was nervous of my own abilities (or lack thereof) and Sonia helped me let go of my expectations and to just accept the experience. I felt some very clear connections with the animals and look forward to sharing Reiki with my animals at home as well as those in shelters and at sanctuaries.
When I first signed up, I only intended to complete level 1, but I am now looking forward to completing level 2 once I have more experience.
On behalf of my fur family and myself, thank you Sonia!"
