What Students Are Saying:

Just wanted to offer my appreciation for the time and energy you extended to make our Reiki I class such a phenomenal experience. I learned so much and know this will change my life in profound ways. Your openness and transparency regarding your own experiences aided my learning process and alleviated unnecessary anxiety. With admiration, - Linda M., MD

I feel very fortunate to have just completed Reiki I and Animal Reiki Training with Kathleen Prasad at Brighthaven in Santa Rosa, CA.  I was already a Human Reiki II practitioner.  This was my first experience with Kathleen as a teacher, though.  It was also my first experience with Animal Reiki, which is very different.  I have to say that the class exceeded my expectations.  I walked away after the weekend feeling as though I had gained a much richer understanding of Reiki.  It was quite awakening for me to realize that animals are such powerful teachers! Kathleen truly practices what she teaches!  I found myself admiring her friendly, calm, grounded, non-judgemental ways.  I also found doing the workshop at Brighthaven (a non-profit organization dedicated to the well being of senior, disabled, and special animals) to be very magical.  Animal Reiki has touched me very deeply.  I'm so excited to continue along this journey and dive whole-heartedly into the very depths of this highly spiritual world. Thank you Kathleen for all of your dedication to Animal Reiki!  I am quite amazed at the literature, courses and community you have created.  Continue shining as brightly as you are!! - Kristin D., CA

When I decided to pursue my Animal Reiki training, I knew I had to go with the best. I took my Reiki Level 1 workshop with Kathleen Prasad.  From the teaching venue, BrightHaven Sanctuary, to the guided meditations, hands-on practice, teaching tools and BrightHaven's precious animal residents, everything was perfect! I gained a lot in that weekend and I feel honoured to have the ongoing support and guidance from such a visionary, generous, gifted and skilled Reiki teacher. I'm looking forward to many more Animal Reiki trainings with Kathleen! Many thanks, - Marisa H., Canada

Thank you so much!  The Reiki 1 weekend was EVERYTHING I was hoping for and so much more. Your instructions, meditations, manual, and gifted leadership have truly helped me to gain confidence in pursuing Reiki.  You provided such gentle guidance that I felt everyone in our group felt safe to honor their interest in and their ability to be involved with practicing Reiki. Our practice sessions with both humans and animals were lovely experiences in addition to giving us the opportunity to practice the tools you went over with us during the course. I am practicing and looking forward to being able to continue my Reiki education with you. - Trish O., CA

I read Kathleen’s book, "Animal Reiki: Using Energy to Heal the Animals in Your Life", over a year before I had the opportunity to attend her Level I training. I considered taking a human-based Reiki training, but I think I made the right choice. Encountering both Kathleen’s approach with Animal Reiki, and the setting at BrightHaven, I got my paws on a whole new perspective on animals and alternative healing! - Dale P., CA

I’m a volunteer foster parent for the SPCA and I was looking for an additional way to help my often sick and frightened under-aged kittens. Kathleen’s Reiki class was my first introduction to alternative healing. I was a bit skeptical - I hadn’t even experienced Reiki on myself. Kathleen’s training style was gentle, concise, and practical. During the training, she weaved in her own stories about the subtle and not-so-subtle results of Reiki. In addition to learning the techniques and protocols of Reiki, Kathleen encouraged me to observe, document, and make my own decisions about Reiki over time. I went home after the first day of our 2-day training to find my kittens responding quite differently to me. One wouldn’t get near me (normally they climb all over me), another allowed me to hold him, but stared wide-eyed at me the entire time. Two of them were sick and I offered them Reiki. The next day they were noticeably better. Over time, I have witnessed the effects of Reiki on my kittens, on myself, and on others. I know I have much yet to learn and experience, but from what I’ve seen so far, it’s awesome! Thank you Reiki and thank you Kathleen! - JL, California 

Kathleen Prasad is an amazing instructor who brings the profound teachings of Reiki to each individual in a way that works best for them. She assists every student in bringing light and healing to themselves and those around them. Kathleen's experiences with the animals are wonderful and inspirational. I highly recommend this class to anyone at any level who is interested in the healing arts and creating a better lives for themselves and all creatures. Participating in the Level 1 Animal Reiki class was, for me, a life broadening experience. The powerful meditations and real-life accounts of Reiki healing related by Kathleen were inspiring and thought-provoking. The clear instruction made it easy to begin practicing right away. On top of the amazing class, Kathleen is an open and down-to-earth teacher whose compassion for animals glows about her. I am looking forward to taking more classes with Kathleen! - MS, CA
