Send us Fan MailYour pet can change your whole nervous system in seconds, and that’s not an accident. We sit down with Stephanie Stefan, a Reiki master, animal communicator, and author of The Path to Unconditional Love, to talk about animal Reiki and the quieter truth underneath it: animals pull us out of overthinking and back into the heart where presence becomes possible.Stephanie's new book is now available in local books stores:The Path to Unconditional LoveWe get specific about what animal Reiki looks like in practice, including the difference between traditional hands-on Reiki and consent-based, hands-off approaches used in shelters and sanctuaries. Stephanie explains how animals choose how they receive energy, why rescued animals may need more space, and how organizations like the Shelter Animal Reiki Association train practitioners to support animals without overwhelming them.We also explore intuitive animal communication in a way that feels grounded and relatable: messages as urges, sensations, and quick mental “movie clips,” much like how we understand a baby before words. If you’ve ever felt prompted to check on your pet, take them outside, or shift your tone, you’ll recognize what she means. From holistic pet care and “frequency” to aging, anxiety, grief, and remote Reiki while traveling, this conversation is full of practical ways to strengthen your bond while keeping your animal’s well-being at the center.Stephani will be teaching a live 2 Day Course Soon!
