Let Animal Reiki Become Who You Are—Not Just What You Do
This is not about mastering techniques.
It’s about releasing them—and becoming the healing presence animals trust.
This Level 3 Animal Reiki Practitioner Training online course helps you live Reiki from the inside out—so you can show up for animals in their hardest moments with grounded calm, peace and ease.
You’ve already said yes to the path—now it’s time to go deeper
Whether you’ve completed Levels 1 and 2 of Let Animals Lead® or you’re a seasoned Reiki Master from another lineage, there’s a reason you’re here. You’ve felt the pull to go further—not just in skill, but in spirit. Not to do more, but to become something more.
If you’ve trained in the Let Animals Lead® method, you already know the beauty of animal agency, the power of presence, and the depth of healing transformation that comes from letting go of control. Now, you’re ready to embody those teachings at the highest level—and live them fully in every moment.
If you’re coming from another Reiki path, you may be realizing that something never quite aligned. Maybe your training was human-focused. Maybe animals pulled away. Maybe you were taught to “send” energy or lead sessions with rituals that felt disconnected. Deep down, you sensed there was a more gentle, respectful way.
You were right.
Let Animals Lead® offers a new paradigm—one rooted in compassion, consent, and co-creation.
And Level 3 is where it all comes together.
The deepest Reiki practice begins within.
The highest Animal Reiki practice isn’t about more tools or techniques—it’s about becoming the steady presence animals instinctively trust.
At this level, it’s not about performing Animal Reiki sessions. It’s about being Reiki. Your energy becomes the sanctuary. Your presence becomes the medicine. And animals lead the way, on their own terms.
This Level 3 training takes you beyond practice and into embodiment. You’ll learn to stabilize your energy—no matter what’s happening around you. And just as importantly, you’ll learn what to gently let go of…so your presence can become simple, clear, and truly supportive for animals.
This will deepen your connection with animals, with Reiki, and with your own inner peace. So you’ll finally understand what it means to live the precepts—not just recite them.
This is where healing becomes who you are. You’ll embody this energy inside:
The Level 3 Animal Reiki Practitioner Online Certification

Summer 2026 session begins June 22nd. Live meetings are on Tuesdays from June 23 - July 28, 10am or 4pm PST.
What students say about the Level 3 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.”

It’s a fit if you’re:
A Let Animals Lead® Level 1 and 2 graduate who wants to embody this method at its highest level and truly live Reiki in every moment—within and beyond your work with animals.
A Reiki Master from another lineage seeking an ethical, trauma-informed, and animal-led way to offer Reiki—one that honors consent, presence, and agency.

This course may not be right for you if
You’re looking for flashy, hands-on techniques that push or perform energy

What’s possible when you say yes:
“I cannot adequately express what the training and time with Kathleen meant to me. It created a huge opening to so much. I understood animals and Reiki in a new way. I also learned so much about myself that informs what I do with Animal Reiki.”
Anne H.
“I took Animal Reiki Level 1 and 2 with Kathleen back in 2021 because I was still mourning the passing of my two dogs back in 2020. Distractions kept me from taking the Level 3 class until now (2025), and I have to say that the level of connection I have achieved with my animals in Heaven, my current dog, and Nature are the best gift I could ever get. Animal Reiki is a healing journey for yourself and your animals, and I am so glad having Kathleen to guide me through this experience."
Mariela N
“I really enjoyed learning this method as a Reiki practitioner in a primarily human lineage. The consent aspects and focusing on the animal's perfection instead of problems really changed how I think about sharing Reiki, not just with animals but with everyone. The program is so much fuller and more in-depth than other courses I've seen offered elsewhere. The supportive online community is a fantastic aspect of this program to help me stay connected with the training and like-minded animal Reiki practitioners not just in class but moving forward into the future. Kathleen is amazing and literally wrote the book on Animal Reiki. She has many, many years of experience and really lives her teachings.”

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.
