Reiki for Cats: Energy Healing for Comfort and Connection
As our beloved cats grow older, their needs change.
They may become more sensitive, sleep more often, or begin to show signs of discomfort or anxiety. Reiki offers a gentle, non-invasive way to support senior cats—helping them relax, release tension, and feel more balanced both physically and emotionally.
What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a form of energy healing that promotes deep relaxation and supports the body’s natural ability to heal. During a Reiki session, I use light touch or hands just above the body to gently channel calming energy to your cat.
There’s no pressure or manipulation, and your cat is always in control of how the session goes.
How Reiki Helps Senior Cats
Reiki can support senior cats in many ways:
Reduces stress and anxiety — great for cats who are easily startled or who don’t like being handled.
Supports pain relief — especially for chronic conditions like arthritis or kidney issues.
Improves sleep and relaxation — many cats fall into a deep, peaceful rest during or after a session.
Emotional comfort — especially helpful for cats experiencing grief, change, or nearing end-of-life.
Every cat is different, and Reiki meets them where they are—whether they curl up close or observe from a distance.
What to Expect During a Session
Reiki sessions are always done with respect and gentleness. Your cat can move freely, choose their position, and even walk away if they prefer. Many return on their own once they sense the energy shift.
Sessions typically last about 30 minutes. Afterward, I’ll check in with you to share what I observed and how your cat responded.
A Heart-Centered Approach
My goal with Reiki is not to “fix” anything—but to offer presence, peace, and compassion to your cat. This healing space often brings emotional comfort not just to pets, but to the people who love them.
