• I believe the animals are equal partners in the healing process.
• I dedicate myself to the virtues of humility, integrity, compassion and gratitude in my Reiki practice.
• I always ask permission of the animal before beginning, and respect his or her decision to accept or refuse any treatment. I listen intuitively and observe the animal's body language in determining the responses.
• I continually educate myself to maintain and enhance my professional competence.
