Animal Reiki 1 & 2 Training
Animal Reiki 1 & 2 Training
ICRT Animal Reiki energy is a powerful and unique energy developed through Holy Fire® III Reiki specifically for animals. It’s a distinct energy from the Reiki used with humans, bringing deep healing to both animals and their human caregivers.
​
This training is comprehensive and accessible to all Reiki lineages and belief systems. During the workshop, you’ll receive Animal Reiki Placements that attune and unify this energy with your existing Reiki symbols and practice.
​
Whether you work in person or from a distance, this course provides everything you need to effectively channel Reiki for animals. For more information on the benefits of Animal Reiki, visit our Animal Reiki page.
​
Upon completion of this 2-day training workshop, you will be certified as an ICRT Animal Reiki 1 & 2 practitioner, equipped to offer Reiki treatments to all species of animals, both in person and from a distance.
Workshop Options:
You can choose between two training formats, depending on your preference:
​
