What does it mean to be a conscious, sentient being, and how this understanding can transform our relationship with the non-human members of our family.

Kathleen Prasad created the Let Animals Lead® method of Animal Reiki and co-founded the Shelter Animal Reiki Association (SARA). She created the Animal Reiki Practitioner Code of Ethics as a guidepost for all Animal Reiki practitioners., regardless of lineage. Additionally, her book, Healing Virtues, provides an in depth explanation and examination of these core principles. The Empowered Companion has adapted the Animal Reiki Practitioner Code of Ethics to all of the work we do with animals and humans, including: Reiki, Pet Sitting and Cat Training.

My journey to working full-time with animals and recognizing my desire to exist with mutual respect and compassion with all animals began in 2019 with a foster cat named Tom - TomTom for long. I can look back at my life and the animals I worked and lived with, and how they touched me, but Tom leaned into my heart and lit the fire of passion for this work.

Clients trust The Empowered Companion to help provide an equal and sustainable connection to the animals in their lives. But who are these folks, and why does our work yield such positive outcomes?
