You're not here just to practice Animal Reiki. You're here to teach it
Step into your role as a Let Animals Lead® Teacher and learn how to guide others in creating calm, compassionate spaces where animals can choose healing, in their own way.
A 6-week, heart-centered training to help you teach with clarity, confidence, and deep respect for animal agency.
You’ve witnessed the quiet magic when animals say yes to Reiki.
And now you’re beginning to feel ready to show others how.
You understand this work isn’t about doing, fixing, or directing…It’s about presence, trust, and creating a space where animals can choose. And lately, something has been shifting. What began as your own practice is opening into something more. A quiet pull to share this with others… to support them in experiencing this way of being for themselves, in a way that truly honors the animals.
You’re not looking to add more techniques. You’re feeling called to guide others into a different way of relating. This is where that begins to take shape. Where your practice deepens, and you learn how to hold space not just for animals—but for the people who are learning to be with them. So you can begin to teach with clarity, steadiness, and integrity.
Not by doing more...
but by trusting what’s already here.
And allowing this work to ripple outward,
gently, ethically, and in alignment with the Let Animals Lead® method.
The deepest teaching begins within.
The path of an Animal Reiki Teacher isn’t just about teaching techniques— it’s about becoming a steady, clear presence that others can learn from and trust.
At this level, it’s not about showing others how to “do” Animal Reiki. It’s about guiding them into the experience of being with animals in a way that honors choice, presence, and deep listening. Your role begins to shift. From practitioner… to space holder. From doing the work… to supporting others as they discover it for themselves.
This training supports that transition. You’ll deepen your own embodied practice, while learning how to hold space for your students with clarity, steadiness, and integrity.
You’ll begin to recognize what it means to truly live and model this work—so that what you offer isn’t just something you’re teaching…
but an energy you are quietly inviting others into.
This is where your practice becomes a living transmission.
And this is the path you'll step into inside:

What students say about the teacher experience:
“I first found out about Animal Reiki when searching for a Reiki practitioner for my senior dog... Kathleen's teaching style and method pristinely and humbly embody the spirit of Reiki as taught by founder Mikao Usui--because Kathleen embodies it, too. This honorable approach is why I remain committed and enthusiastic to both offer the Let Animals Lead® method of Animal Reiki and teach it to others.”
Susan G.
“Having taken all three levels with Kathleen, it was easy to see how each level builds the next!! And what always impresses me the most is Kathleen’s ability to answer any question that comes her way! She clearly has first hand experience that enables her to do so! Kathleen walks her talk which makes her a wonderful role model for her students!! Also, the manuals are superb! I refer back to them daily and with each reading, I gain new insights! I highly recommend all 3 levels of Let Animals Lead Reiki!!”
Karen S.
“This training made Reiki feel natural again. The Let Animals Lead® method helped me let go of habits that felt more performative than genuine. Kathleen teaches with such grounded clarity, and I left the course feeling more confident in how I connect with animals without needing to fix or prove anything.”
Lisa J.

Is this course right for you?
The Level 3 Let Animals Lead® Practitioner Online Certification Course is for you if you're ready to deepen your Animal Reiki path—not just in how you practice, but in how you show up guide others, and carry this work forward.
This training is a fit if...
You’ve completed your Level 3 Practitioner training—and you can feel it: you’re no longer meant to keep this work to yourself. You’re ready to begin sharing it.
You’re standing at the threshold between practicing and guiding, and you want to step forward in a way that stays true to presence, compassion, and deep respect for animal agency.
You feel a genuine pull to support both people and animals, and you’re looking for a clear, ethical path to teach the Let Animals Lead® method with integrity.
You don’t want to piece this together on your own—you want structure, mentorship, and thoughtful guidance so you can teach with clarity and confidence.
You feel a quiet but steady sense of purpose: to help create spaces where animals are not managed or fixed, but respected as equal partners in the healing process.
This course may not be the right fit if...
You’re primarily seeking tools and techniques to “use,” rather than a deeper shift in how you show up as a guide.
You prefer to stay in a clearly defined role as the leader or expert, rather than stepping into a shared, relational dynamic with animals and your students.
You’re already teaching Reiki for humans and feel strongly attached to your current way of working, and aren’t open to exploring a more animal-guided, presence-based approach.
What’s possible when you say yes:
“This course is rigorous in the best sense of the word. We had so much direct contact with Kathleen, which is a real gift. Weekly classes allowed for teachings, sharing and reflection, followed by related and relevant homework in preparation for the next session. I also grew to know and connect with my classmates who are now my Animal Reiki Teacher colleagues! I am enjoying being Reiki out in the world and feel I am making a real difference.
Sandy E.
“I am walking away from this course with more compassion, more understanding and a more open heart than I came in with. I am being Reiki vs. doing Reiki and finally grasp what that really means and feels like. I love that Kathleen celebrates us as individuals and encourages our unique connections that we have to the Let Animals Lead® method."
Brandy L.
“Kathleen is an excellent teacher and teaches from experience and her heart. She truly understands the importance for practitioners and teachers to understand that offering Reiki to animals cannot be the same as the approach to human Reiki. It has to be different and if you take this class you will surely understand why. I highly recommend this class to anyone who may be considering teaching Animal Reiki! ”

Why learn from Kathleen
Founder of the Let Animals Lead® Method | Advocate for animal agency, calm, and choice
I’m Kathleen Prasad, and for over 27 years, I’ve walked this path with animals—from shelters and sanctuaries to hospice settings and private practice. With every experience, one truth became clearer:
Animals don’t need us to do more. They need us to be more.
The Let Animals Lead® method was born from this truth. It’s a trauma-informed, spiritually grounded approach to Animal Reiki that centers on stillness, respect, and unconditional love. It’s about the power of presence.
I’ve poured everything I’ve learned into this method—not just from my professional training and thousands of hours in the field, but from a lifetime of healing my own anxiety, sensitivity and even cancer (twice). I’ve truly lived the transformation I now teach.
And that’s why my students say things like:
"There is A LOT of heart and deepness in her teachings, which is something you'd rarely find in a human Reiki class."
"Kathleen walks her talk which makes her a wonderful role model for her students."
"Her knowledge and experiences she shared were inspiring, along with her easy manner and the excellent way she explains everything so succinctly."
This course is about helping you find that same grounded clarity—for yourself and for the animals who are waiting for your presence. Whether you’re a returning student or joining from another lineage, you’re in the right place. Let’s walk this next part of the journey together.
