Demonstrated Benefits of Reiki
Veterinary Reiki is Medical Reiki(TM) and is the practice of Reiki in the hospital setting, pre-surgery, during surgery and post-surgery. Medical Reiki (TM) founder, Raven Keyes, started Reiki in the operating room with Dr. Mamet Oz in 2000.

For chronic pain, post surgical pain, and pain from injuries (reduces the need for medication).
Reduces Anxiety
Allowing the animal to relax in the veterinary setting, allowing for a more accurate diagnosis.

Reiki improves the well being of veterinary staff. The American Holistic Nursing Association has demonstrated that Reiki trained nurses have more focus on their patients, as well as less stress and improved health themselves.
Reiki in Veterinary Practice
Reiki in the veterinary setting can reduce anxiety during routine exams, anxiety and pain during procedures and surgery, and chronic pain in animal companions; as well as improve the overall well-being of patients and veterinary staff.
Reiki for Surgery
Pre-surgery, a Reiki Practitioner shares Reiki with the patient when s/he arrives at the hospital, balancing his/her energy, and reducing anxiety. The Reiki Practitioner may also sit with the family, offering them peace and calming and to reduce their anxiety.
During surgery, a Reiki Practitioner is in the operating room during the surgery, sharing Reiki throughout the surgery. Reiki has an effect on the patient, as well as the veterinary staff, ensuring the surgery goes smoothly.
Post-surgery, a Reiki Practitioner shares Reiki with the patient during post-op and often throughout the patient's recovery process. Immediately post-surgery, Reiki is offered while the patient is in recovery and may continue until they are settled into their room. Additionally, Reiki may be offered at various intervals during the recovery process either in person or via distance - daily, weekly, or as needed to aid in a quicker recovery process.
Reki during surgery has many advantages and may:
Maintain blood pressure during surgery
Reduce bleeding during surgery
Reduce pain medication and anesthesia
Speed recovery times
Reduce surgery times

Veterinary Reiki Flyer
I firmly believe that every veterinary practice needs to have at least one, if not all of its staff trained in Reiki. I believe that Reiki is the most effective, 100% safe healing approach they can utilize at a moment’s notice and can heal on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels.”
