I have been assisting people with their pets for 10 years. I grew up with dogs and cats. I currently share my home with 3 rescued shelter cats. The first was rescued over 15 years ago. The two newer additions were from a hoarding situation. Fortunately they are all a snuggly family.
I enjoy being around animals especially cats. I have volunteered at animal shelters since 2007. As a volunteer at Chicago Animal Care and Control, I have been finger printed and background checked. I have gone through the same process at a different time to enable me to volunteer at the Veterans Administration in Chicago.
I am a Reiki Master and often am able to help animals be more calm and centered by offering Reiki to the animals. Reiki is a non invasive energy therapy. The purpose is to calm and re-balance the companion’s energy. Once the energy is balanced, the animal or person is better able to calm, relax &/or heal. I feel that practicing Reiki on myself daily allows me to present a calm reassuring presence to the cats I sit for. I feel that the Reiki is a great asset to assist my Fear Free philosophy. I look forward to meeting you and your cat companion(s). Please feel free to give me a call and see if I am a good fit for your needs.
