Frequently Asked Questions

How is it possible to do healing work or energy balancing from a distance?

Because esoteric healing works with the etheric body and is done without touching the animal, it can be performed in-person or at a distance.  It works the same either way.  Emotional clearing also can be done during a distance esoteric healing session by using energy balancing techniques.  Reiki, while being a form of hands-on healing, also has the capacity to been sent to the animals from a distance.   

Does the animal have to be in my presence for a distance healing session?

No.  The animal does not have to be with you during the session.  For a distance esoteric healing or a Reiki session, it is helpful for the animal to be calm and quiet but not required.

What do I need to do to prepare for a healing arts session?

It is helpful for Karin to know ahead of time if there are any issues or conditions that need to be addressed.  Before a distance/phone consultation, she will need the name, age, and physical description of the animals that she will be talking to and working with. 

Does a healing session take the place of a vet or medication?

No.  Reiki, esoteric healing, craniosacral therapy, essential oils, flower essences, etc. do not take the place of veterinary care or prescribed medication.  While healing arts sessions can benefit your animal’s well-being, they are supplemental care and are not meant to be used instead of veterinary medicine.  Karin is not a veterinarian.  She cannot diagnose diseases or recommend medical treatments.

How do I know what kind of healing session my animal needs? 

For most sessions, Karin uses more than one healing or energy balancing technique.  She will evaluate the animal’s needs and use the techniques that are appropriate for your animal and the symptoms at that time.  In her practice, she has found it to be very effective to combine the different healing modalities as needed for each individual animal. 

How do I know if a healing session has worked?

Sometimes it will be very obvious that a session has had immediate results because the symptoms will vanish.  But often, the symptoms will disappear more gradually over time.  Other ways of telling that a session has worked is by observing a change in the animal’s physical appearance.  The animal may appear more vibrant, its eyes brighter, it may have more energy, or it may seem happier.  Some animals will experience a complete remission of symptoms and others will experience varying degrees of help.  Nearly all animals experience some benefit, but this does not always mean the healing of the physical body.

How many sessions will my animal need?

There is no rule concerning how many sessions it will take to see results.  Occasionally, total relief is seen after one visit.  This usually occurs when treatment is given soon after the onset of symptoms.  More often, multiple sessions are required to achieve balance, especially when the animal is dealing with a chronic condition or situation.

Can healing sessions be a preventative measure to help maintain the health of my animals?

Yes.  Hands-on and distance healing and energy balancing techniques can be used very successfully as a disease prevention treatment.   By maintaining balance in the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies, imbalances can be eliminated early on, thus preventing the imbalance from manifesting as a physical symptom later on.  Older animals, in particular, can benefit from these techniques.
