Oh…… the places you’ll go! If anyone is a fan of Dr. Seuss like I am, you’ll remember that book and let me tell you, after taking Kathleen’s Advanced Teleclass, I can certainly relate. Doors just pop open!

I had taken the Animal Reiki Workshop: Core Curriculum teleclass and enjoyed it very much. It was a wonderful stepping stone to the Advanced Teleclass which was a smaller group and, therefore, more intimate in nature. Although we were from all over the country in different time zones, Kathleen’s presence and wisdom as a teacher knitted us together as a small family, creating a sacred space for us to share our experiences of the past and present – new insights and older, familiar memories of our loved ones…. feathered, finned and furred!

Like a beam of healing light, Kathleen’s love of animals and her respect and integrity for them is always shining through and I know the Universe feels that too! I was very fortunate to meet with Kathleen (and her sister) in Miami once for brunch. Kathleen was the same person at the table as she was the teacher on the phone…. a truly
genuine person who cares deeply for the animals and the people who love
them.

Thanks Kathleen, for all you do. I look forward to see how your path continues to unfold!

Respectfully,

I have been a Reiki practitioner for many years and have focused mainly on treating humans. I recently came across Kathleen's book "Animal Reiki". After reading the first chapter, I knew it was time for me to include animals in my healing practice. I immediately signed up for Kathleen's level 1 training class. I cannot express how this class opened so many new
doors for me. I felt compelled to enroll in her level 2 training.
Kathleen you are a truly gifted and compassionate teacher. Words cannot express the break-through experiences I have had as a result of your classes.
I can't think of a better place to learn about animal Reiki than Brighthaven. What a special and beautiful place. All those precious animals and all that love!
Thank you again Kathleen!

Thank you for teaching us the Level 2 class! You are an inspiring and amazing Reiki Master, and in addition to bringing in the Reiki energy, your own energy adds beauty and grace to the healing space which you provide in your classes.

Kathleen, thank you for the past few weeks.  I have learned so much
from you in such a short period of time.  You are truly an inspiration
for Reiki Masters who love animals!  When I went through all my prior
Reiki training, we were told that we could give Reiki to animals, and
that was the extent of our Animal Reiki training.  Although I always
knew that I could give Reiki to animals, I never knew how to
comfortably go about it.  Now, thanks to you, I do.  I have such new
insight, understanding and appreciation for working with my canine
friends.  Thank you again.  Thanks to all that you’ve taught me, many
dogs in New Jersey will now receive the blessing of Reiki.  I look
forward to learning more from you in the future.  God Bless you always.

I found Kathleen’s ad in a horse wellness magazine; went to her web
site and read how Reiki helps animals. When I read the part about
helping animals who are ready to pass over I cried! How I wished I had known about this several years ago when our beloved Beanie (sweet little Chihuahua) was so sick and finally died. But I thought, she is now beyond my help but I can help the animals that are in our family at this time.
 
I went to a local class offering Reiki Level I then started Kathleen’s
animal Reiki correspondence course. Kathleen is a super teacher, the lessons are easy to do; well written and Kathleen is so helpful
throughout the 5 weeks and beyond! Feedback from Kathleen is most
helpful and always encouraging, she is always there to boost your
confidence when you feel things haven’t gone right!
 
I also purchased Kathleen and Elizabeth’s book, “Animal Reiki”; this
goes hand in hand with the lessons. It is a valuable tool to have as a
reference source; one that I will read and re-read many times. Very,
very helpful!!
 
I am just learning this wonder work and I enjoy the quiet working with
animals, listening for them to “tell” me how to help them. To me this
is much more rewarding and challenging than working with people; you have to go inside yourself and be “still” to hear the animals speak to you with their hearts. My main focus is in this work, the animals I
love the most are horses, especially my beloved rescue horse Gilly.
This will be a lifetime of learning from all the wonderful creatures
that we share this world with.
 
Thank you so much Kathleen for this wonderful source of knowledge and leading me to Reiki!! --Many Blessings

Being on the cutting edge with Animal Reiki sometimes feels like
speaking a foreign language to neighbors, family and co-workers.
Kathleen's support and guidance has been invaluable as I start this new journey.

I am a Reiki II Practitioner and just completed the Animal Reiki
Workshop Core Curriculum teleclass. The information that Kathleen
presented to us was great and very useful. Starting each class with a
meditation was especially enjoyable. I also learned a lot from the
other students who joined in on the teleclass. Each came from a
different part of the country and circumstance, but we were all there
for a common reason - Reiki. I feel that we all learned from each
other. Thank you, Kathleen for helping me in my quest to use the
healing energy of Reiki for the highest good of animals that I treat!

---

The Animal Reiki Workshop was a wonderful experience. It taught me
how to truly trust Reiki. I learned how to be more effective when
giving a  treatment by allowing the animals to be my teachers and
guide me on where and when they need healing.  It set me free! I worry less about technique and focus more on being a channel full of love and compassion through which Reiki heals. Thank you, Kathleen!  

---

I am sad since this is the first Sunday I will sit at my computer and not have to send a lesson plan for your perusal and approval. Kudos for making the past 5 weeks so exciting and eventful. This course has not only expanded my knowledge of the animal/reiki connection but given me the necessary kick the universe has been asking of if not demanding of me. I am happy to know that you are out there. I reccommend this course to any reiki practitioner who wishes to expand his or her connection to the universe!

---

I have completed Levels 1 & 2 Animal Reiki Training from Kathleen and through these courses and the power of Reiki, I have grown spiritually and continue to deepen my awareness and connection to the spirits of animals and people on a level I had never imagined. Thanks Kathleen.

---

I've been a Reiki Master for almost a year treating people and attempting to treat animals. After taking Kathleens' course, everything fell into place. I found many techniques that I used on people, didn't have the same results for animals. I'm so grateful to Kathleen for her excellent class and follow-up feedback. Thank you!

---

Kathleen's Advanced Animal Reiki Workshop more than met my expectations. Each class was well structured and built upon prior topics. The exercises, meditations, affirmations, and visualizations were all designed to facilitate my ability to communicate with and effectively treat animals. Kathleen is down-to-earth, insightful, very supportive, and is a talented communicator. She brings energy, serenity, and humor to each class. I cannot wait to take additional classes with her and would highly recommend her classes to animal lovers and Reiki practitioners everywhere.

---

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!

---

It was so delightful meeting you and learning Reiki 1 thru you! Since my inner guidance had strongly drawn me to your class, it was no surprise that I resonated so much with your spiritual philosophy and your way of teaching. Your gentle approach and clarity seem to mirror the essence of Reiki itself. In addition, Bright Haven is such a wonderful place to experience being with animals and offering healing to them.

---

This class has been invaluable in giving me the confidence to move out into the world with Reiki for animals. Thank you so much, Kathleen, for putting it together and creating such a non-judgmental learning environment.

---

Kathleen's book "Animal Reiki" is an invaluable resource guide to Reiki application for animals. Taking her course absolutely validated the wonderful use of Reiki to help our animal friends. If you don't live close enough to attend a workshop, reading the book and taking a telecourse is the next best thing to being there!

---

Kathleen is such a wonderful teacher and mentor. I have to say that taking Kathleen’s Animal Reiki teleclass has been a life changing event for me. I am certain that had I not taken this class, I would not have been able to offer Reiki effectively to animals. Kathleen’s class has given me the knowledge to not only offer Reiki to animals, but also has helped me to have the confidence to reach out to an area shelter to volunteer Reiki to the shelter animals. Being able to help shelter animals in this way has been such a wonderful and fulfilling experience for me. Thank you, Kathleen!

---

The “Animal Reiki Workshop” gave me the direction, knowledge and confidence to work with and help animals, the reason I started learning Reiki in the first place. The course is very thorough and well planned. Quality wasn't compromised by doing the course by correspondence, as Kathleen was very supportive and encouraging, answering emails promptly and questions thoroughly. This is a great course for anyone wanting to expand into the animal Reiki realm.

---

Thank you so much for the Animal Reiki Workshop through Correspondence Course, Kathleen; I learned so much! When I told a friend I was going to take your class, she said, "What's to learn? Don't you just do a treatment like you do with people?" There was so much to learn because animals are so different. I particularly enjoyed learning how to read the animal's body language to gauge how they're accepting the treatment, as well as recommended treatment course. Your willingness to share all your experience really helped me work through the learning curve quickly and confidently [not that there isn't lots more to learn]. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Kathleen epitomizes Reiki and is an inspiration in her word, action and deed. The programs that she offers are in the "real world" and enable the student to apply all the steps easily and thoroughly. Her support through the process is second to none and her warmth and genuine selflessness can be sensed in every word.

The basic Animal Reiki course by correspondence is simple but complete and eases the student into the area of learning to heal animals with encouragement, validation and empathy. She has thought it out completely having foresight to answer the student's questions almost as they are about to occur, allowing the individual to feel "normal" in their trepidations.

Kathleen's new book Animal Reiki should be a companion book for the correspondence course since the two go hand in hand so well. I recommend it whole heartedly and found that in much of the content I could recognize myself and the behaviour that I had seen in my animals. This coupled with the correspondence courses that she offers and her active personalized participation in the learner's progress give the distance student a full circle experience.

---

I had been using Reiki on animals for a little while before I found Kathleen's website. Since doing her Animal Reiki course via correspondence I have found the confidence to approach other animal health practitioners and veterinarians about the role Reiki can play in animal health. Kathleen's course has helped to confirm some of the things I was already doing, and has taught me other techniques for giving Reiki to animals. She is an extremely wonderful person who is always available to answer your questions and to give you encouragement. I highly recommend this course.

---

When I signed up to take a correspondence course on Animal Reiki from Kathleen, I admit I was skeptical. I thought “How can I take a course from a woman on the other side of the country, and how can I effectively practice what she is going to teach me? And homework – how?” But the lessons were so “right on” and the homework so challenging that I looked forward each week to the homework for the next lesson. When I had completed the course I went to my animal patients with a new confidence and excitement. I recently received my copy of her book, Animal Reiki: Using Energy to Heal the Animals in Your Life, and it has inspired me to go even further with animal Reiki therapy. Kathleen Prasad is truly a compassionate and gifted teacher, and I am grateful to her for the lessons she taught me about animals and their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs.

---

Kathleen's core curriculum correspondence course has enhanced my Reiki practice and taken it to a new, deeper level. My expectations were exceeded. The weekly lessons and feedback were very insightful. Every question I had was generously answered in detail. Kathleen's compassion and love for animals shine through every word. I would encourage every Reiki practitioner to invest in this course, whether they plan to focus on treating animals or not. It is a privilege to get the opportunity to learn from this incredible teacher.

---

I took Kathleen's Correspondence course knowing I wanted to deepen my ability to work with animals. I looked forward to each lesson and found Kathleen's support very valuable to the work I am now doing with animals. There were things I learned that have become a strong foundation to my work with Animals. I got reinforced in my knowledge and learned new aspects of giving Reiki treatments with animals. I would recommend everyone who wants to work with animals to take the course. Kathleen has much to teach and it is a honor to be learning from her.

---

I have just completed the 5 week correspondence course with Kathleen. The information provided within this time has been very useful. Many thanks Kathleen for the feedback you have given me throughout this course. It has helped me greatly and also given personal clarification while working with animals. I have enjoyed this course and looking forward to further contact.

Having practiced veterinary medicine for nearly 20 years and having been involved with holistic veterinary medicine for six years now, I can truly say that until Kathleen’s Level 1 and Level 2 courses in Animal Reiki, I was not able to properly address the entire scope of wholeness and holistic healing that I have sought for so long.

Early on I became aware of just how closely our animal companions monitor the every nuance of our moods and emotions. Having practiced veterinary medicine in a town that serves one of the largest military family communities in the world, I quickly found myself front and center with how the stress of our lives is absorbed by our animal companions. The first Iraq war brought such stress related syndromes to the companion animals of the military left behind. The historical reporting of war brought so much stress that it was predictable as to what I would find in my veterinary practice the following day. The living rooms of the other household members left at home in that war became my learning arena for just how capable our animal companions are to absorbing and mirroring our stress.

Until I found Animal Reiki Source, there was a huge deficit in my ability to address the emotional, mental and spiritual imbalances found within my patient’s households. Animals recognize and can be affected by your emotional state. Kathleen understands that the sympathetic connection that allows animals to manifest and reflect human problems is one of the most subtle of the lessons that animals teach us, yet one of the most profound. Even the Reiki practitioner must be aware of this and be capable of centering oneself through the profound transformation of personal Reiki practice.

Learning Reiki shows how profound transformations can be obtained for both the humans and animals, utilizing the core language of Reiki, which is the universal language of love and compassion for the highest good. This is a language universal to all beings. In no other healing modality is there such a relationship established for peace and relaxation for the effect of healing. Nowhere in any veterinary school did I learn the tools I would need to treat what is essentially 75% of the disharmonies I see with disease, that being the mental, emotional and spiritual. I did learn to treat the 25% of disease that exhibits in the physical world as physical; however it was not until I learned Reiki for animals that I learned the technique needed to truly integrate a health and wellness approach that addressed where the root of disease emerges. I can never express enough gratitude for learning the most essential ingredient to becoming a true healer. Animal Reiki has given me the language of universal communication necessary to help every situation for the highest good and the knowledge that now I am helping to heal all the levels of disharmony within the animals I treat.

---

I have a good feeling about the class, and had the opportunity to ask all the questions that I had. The Reiki I class was very practical, and I have the feeling that now that I've finished it, I will be able to do it! Thanks a lot for everything, Kathleen. It was a real pleasure to meet you and learn from you!

---

I truly enjoyed the Animal Reiki Correspondence Course. I would like to give a big thank you to Kathleen for having this course available. Each week was full of useful information, thorough and thought provoking. Your responses to my homework were encouraging and informational. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in practicing Reiki on animals.

---

Having been a Reiki practitioner for the past 12 years and having been owned by some 10 dogs in that period, I've naturally become quite interested in using Reiki with animals. I was led to Kathleen's web site and online class early this year (2006). I was very pleased with the lessons and the format and with Kathleen's responses and critiques of my homework assignments. I was inspired by those assignments to offer a Reiki class at a local animal shelter which is currently in the organization stage, but will happen in the near future. I am also giving Reiki to two dogs at the shelter who have some very serious health issues. It was very enlightening to learn of the differences in how to approach Reiki with animals as opposed to humans. I now understand better what my dogs have been trying to tell me for years! As it happens, one of my dogs has an injured knee so the timing of the course was perfect. I am excited to see what possibilities this course opens up for me and I thank Kathleen for her knowledge and wisdom.

---

Thank you very much for your input, insight, guidance, experience and wisdom. They are invaluable and you are very encouraging and motivational.

---

When I took my Level 1 & 2 Reiki I was disappointed that there wasn't a whole lot of information on Reiki for animals which is my main interest. I went on a search for Animal Reiki information and decided to take Kathleen's correspondence course. I looked forward to the weekly assignments and being able to choose the ones I was most comfortable with at the time. The lessons were packed with information both confirming things I had learned on my own as well as much new information which I now use on a regular basis. Kathleen is a wonderful teacher and provided excellent feedback on my Reiki experiences. I now feel much more comfortable in introducing Reiki to animals and their people. I thoroughly enjoyed this class and recommend it to anyone wanting to share Reiki with animals. Thank you so much Kathleen!

---

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!

---

I learned such a lot on the 5 Lesson Correspondance Course. The techniques for gaining trust, and sending Reiki hands-off rather than rushing in 'hands-on' from the start, plus looking for the acceptance signs were particualrly useful. In fact, I now use many of these learnings with 'human' Reiki, and have found them to be most beneficial. I found Kathleen was a superb teacher, and responded to homework and queries with some excellent feedback. I thoroughly recommend this course for anyone wanting to make their aniumal Reiki more effective.

---

I truly enjoyed the Animal Reiki Correspondence Course. Kathleen demonstrates a vast knowledge of Reiki. She is also very compassionate about the animals she helps. The lessons were challenging and helped me to broaden my Reiki horizon. After completing each lesson I would receive a personal response from Kathleen. Her responses were encouraging and informational. After completing the course I felt I was ready to bring Reiki to the animal world. Thanks Kathleen for a wonderful experience.

---

I have recently completed Kathleen's five week on-line animal Reiki course. It was wonderful! I found the information Kathleen provided each week to be thorough and thought provoking. Her weekly homework suggestions were varied and greatly helped me build confidence with animals and their loved ones. Also, her responses to both my homework assignments and my questions were valuable and supportive. As a result of working with Kathleen, I feel further affirmed in the power of Reiki to heal our animal friends. She helped enhance my skills to further my goals as an animal Reiki practitioner. Thank you so much Kathleen!

---

Since I wanted to take an animal Reiki workshop from the east coast, and I work 12 hour nights in a hospital, I chose the correspondence class. Kathleen has a wonderful class to give out over a 5 week period. The classes are clear and concise. The homework does not seem like work because it is enjoyable. The part I am most grateful for is that during the class I was able to ask questions about personal experiences that came up due to the criteria being studied. She was gracious in taking the time to answer these along side of helping with the class material. I recommend this class to anyone who has a busy schedule, but has a desire to work the Animal Reiki workshop into their life somehow.

---

It [the Animal Reiki Workshop] was very helpful to have the chance to review AND advance my insight into Reiki. Having Reiki for about 1 1/2 years and using it, gave me time to formulate questions based on my own experience and discuss them. I really liked the homework.
