Why Rescue Owners Love Animal Reiki
Rescue animals often arrive with deep-seated stress, yet gentle heart-centred practices like Reiki, mindfulness, and guided human-animal meditations consistently help them settle, trust and thrive.
Recent reports highlight a surge in rescue adoptions, alongside scientific and practitioner evidence that energy work and calm human presence help to lower cortisol, improve heart-rate variability, and accelerate emotional recovery in dogs, cats, and horses.
Hyper-vigilence, pacing, or barking, jaw clenching?
Reiki reduces sympathetic-nervous-system arousal; lowering stress-related behaviours and cortisol.
Fear of touch or grooming?
Creating a hands-off 'Reiki space' demonstrates not only a respect for consent and autonomy but also provides a choice of distance or close proximity to rebuild trust.
Separation Anxiety?
Guided owner-pet meditations synchronise heart rhythyms, calming & improving emotional co-regulation.
Rescue horse trauma?
Trailering, racing, horse auctions, abuse...
Equine-guided mindfulness, energy healing, calming sounds or music therapy, encourages relaxation and bonding.

About Lainey
As a child, Lainey discovered she had many intuitive gifts, was able to communicate telepathically with animals & had the ability to see, hear & connect with the Spirits of loved one who had passsed over.
With a thirst for learning all things spiritual and esoteric, she has spent many years learning, studying and developing her gifts.
Lainey has a passion for Reiki healing, and is also an experienced Intuitive animal communicator. Lainey also volunteered for many years in various animal rescues as a volunteer foster carer, caring for many rabbits, dogs, cats & horses.
Learning to ride from a young age, Lainey's first true passion has always been horses, and the importance of honouring these sentient spirits with the reverance they deserve, committed to creating genuine gentle & trusting relationships with our gentle equine companions.
Lainey understands the deep connection between our own health & well-being, and that of our animal companions. Lainey attended workshop to learn about Meditation & Animal Reiki for Shelter Animals.
Adopting a deaf bull terrier mix was a wonderful adventure in adulting. Together, we navigated difficulties of training and eventually developed a unique method of communication based on a deeply intuitive and spiritual sacred bond. Lainey found confidence to further develop her intuition, psychic gifts & animal communication skills over the next few years, while continuing to volunteer as a carer in the animal rescue industry, helping many more animals to recover and find forever homes. Each beautiful sentient spirit, blossoming with the gentle healing Reiki energy, to find their special human guardian, in their own way.
7 Years ago after winning a mediumship reading which was profoundly life changing, Lainey returned to study Reiki, once again. Upon meeting her new Reiki Master Teacher Sue, Lainey discovered that both had originally came from Scotland & immigrated to Australia. Both had lived in the same town, the exact same house, and both shared the same bedroom at different times. Reiki had orchestrated a magickal synchronicity, and given Lainey a sign to embrace her true potential, aligning with her intuitive spiritual gifts on a healing path to help others. How amazing that 35 years later, on the opposite side of the world, Lainey was guided to meet her future Reiki Master teacher who also happens to be an Animal Reiki Practitioner, Spiritual Medium, & Life Coach! Not surprisingly, both have remained very close friends & colleagues.
After studying various methods of energy healing, Lainey returned to further refine her energy healing techniques specialising in Animal and Equine Reiki therapy supporting rescue, rehabilliation and recovery.
Over the last 5 years, Lainey has spent thousands of hours working with rescue animals including horses. sharing the gentle energy healing of Reiki to help animals and their human care-givers, to relax, to heal, find joy, and deepen their heart-soul connections.
Lainey currently volunteers her time as a Director on the Board of Reiki Australia, the leading Professional Reiki Membership association, and volunteers time offering Distant Reiki treatments for foster animals, rescued animals & their guardians.
After returning to her homeland of Scotland last year during a family visit, Lainey spent time with a herd of wild spanish mustangs, for an Equine Reiki professional development day. It was a beautiful & peaceful experience, sharing their sacred space, practicing animal communication & tuning into their wisdom as divine sentient beings.
It truly was a mesmorising and profoundly life-changing experience to cherish.
Lainey now hopes to teach Reiki to many more people, providing the tools to begin building a more respectful sacred connection with themselves and to help them deepen their heart-soul bond with their animal companions & their other furry-family members.
Sovereign sentient beings; embracing a joyful life of balance, harmony, and peace.
