Helping Our Pets Cross Over the Rainbow Bridge

             The loss of a pet can be an incredibly difficult time. In recent weeks, I have had an abundance of people reaching out to me for help with their loved ones. This includes assisting sick or dying pets, or communicating with them after they have crossed over the rainbow bridge. I see all of my abilities and experiences adding up together to make the biggest impact possible in other people’s lives. I am fulfilling my life purpose to help others and make a positive impact in the lives of those I touch.

          I’ve been communicating with animals since I was a wee little girl. I’ve only spent two years of my life without having at least one animal in my presence. Almost my whole existence, I have had the pleasure of having animal companions. Our pets become our loved ones, they become our family. Let’s face it, animals come in all shapes and sizes, some with fur, some without, some with scales, and the list goes on. One thing that remains the same, is our love for our pets.

           Through my experiences and training I have gained a wealth of skills and abilities to help others assist their animal companions. I’ve completed five courses of Healing Touch through Healing Beyond Borders and I am a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner. I have completed three levels and a Master level of Reiki, making me a Reiki Master. I am an Ordained Minister. I have completed five levels of the Healing Touch for Animals program and I am an Advanced Proficiency Practitioner. I’ve been in healthcare for 18 years and I work as a Registered Nurse full-time in hospice care. There’s other titles I identify with including Psychic, Medium, Medical Intuitive and Remote Viewer. All of these abilities, skills, training and experiences have shaped who I am today.

          One of the services I offer is assisting clients and their beloved pets through the process of crossing over the rainbow bridge. I’ve had my share of pets that have been euthanized by the vet or passed away at home, and all I can say is I wish I had this knowledge and resources in the past. I have had several pets die of old age or illnesses at home growing up on the farm. I remember our dog Angel of 15 years became very sick. My parents decided it was time to put her to sleep. The year was 2009, I was 24 years old. My dad arranged it with a vet over an hour away. My dad and I took our beloved Samoyed to the vet and they had us drop her off inside of a chain link kennel. We said our goodbyes and left her there. They were going to put her down later. It was the oddest thing I had experienced, and when I left there I felt like it wasn’t right. Her last view was of us walking away, leaving her there with strangers, while she was euthanized all alone. I didn’t know any better at the time, but I would never let something like that happen again. My beloved Gizmo ended up slipping a disc and after a traumatic visit to the vet, I put him down right at the time. I was alone and I was a complete wreck. It was totally unexpected. The last thing he saw was me being scared, heartbroken and a complete mess. Then my husband’s cat Smokie who he had for many years became sick and he had him euthanized. My husband was alone with the vet, so I wasn’t there to see how that process unfolded. Then my dog Snickers was sick and it was time for her to be euthanized. I took her to McDonald’s, she ate a couple cheeseburgers, and we trekked out to the vet. I cried hysterically and was an emotional wreck through the whole process. The last thing Snickers remembers is me crying as she left scared and confused.

          My point in sharing all these experiences is that I wish I had known about Healing Touch for Animals sooner. I wish I would have had a Healing Touch for Animals Practitioner to be there each time we needed to euthanize a beloved pet. The Healing Touch for Animals Practitioner could have helped guide my pet and I through the process, creating a loving and much more positive environment. In the Healing Touch for Animals program, there is a Euthanasia Protocol. There are techniques done before euthanasia to assist the animal in preparing for when he/she leaves the physical body. It is also a time when the loved ones can share memories and give unconditional love to the pet. This can be done at home or at the vet before euthanasia. It is a time to reminisce and thank the beloved animal. During the euthanasia process, there is another technique that is done to assist the animal as the euthanasia medications are administered and the animal leaves the physical body. Using the euthanasia protocol along with the veterinary interventions and care allows for a much more peaceful, loving experience as your beloved pet takes his or her last breath and leaves the physical body. Often essential oils with high vibrations are used as well during the process.

          As a Healing Touch for Animals Practitioner, I feel that it is an incredible honor to be there during the end of the animal’s life while holding the energy presence and supporting the caregivers. I’ve experienced several animal deaths, and as a hospice Registered Nurse with 18 years in healthcare, I’ve been a part of thousands of dying patient’s lives. I’ve guided patients and their loved ones through the dying process, and provided support during and after numerous deaths. Death is not easy, but it is an inevitable part of life. I’m here to help you and your animal through the process. At this time, I am offering Healing Touch for Animals Euthanasia Protocol completely free of charge to clients. I will travel within about a 4-5 hour radius from my home. I can assist you through the process at your home, the vet or wherever the client may be. There are several Healing Touch for Animals Practitioners throughout the United States as well.
