Loulu is a beautiful 4 year old Pomeranian, with an exuberance and joy for life that is contagious. Her fluffy red coat, her sparkling dark eyes, her dancing feet, and her gentle being- all of these make it impossible to be with her and not feel an expansion of my heart and a smile on my face.
She has not always looked this bright! Over a year ago she started showing signs of GI issues, with nausea, coughing, vomiting, and gagging. Her dedicated human partner stopped at nothing to try to find out what was going on with her beloved Pom. Her team did ultrasounds, X-Rays, GI scopes, medications, and although there was not a clear cut root cause for all of these issues, it was discovered that she had a narrowing (perhaps weakening) of the trachea, and obvious signs of GI inflammation and acid reflux. Loulu was put on hyper allergenic food, probiotics, Omeprazole and several other supportive supplements. There was some improvement, but not enough.
Visits to a holistic Veterinarian added in acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments, and Chinese medicines. Again, this was all supportive and further improvement was seen for Loulu, but she was still unhappy much of the time and struggling more than she should.
Her mom decided to not accept this as the new normal, and to explore an additional path. She called me to come and offer Reiki to Loulu. I immediately felt like I was coming in at just the right time, with the perfect backdrop of information and modalities already in place. Upon arrival, Loulu climbed right into my lap and sniffed me all over. She was fascinated by the energy that I was putting out, and was very comfortable with me in her home.
Reiki offers a peaceful, healing vibration, through a form of meditation, that works within the body of the recipient to release any fears, blockages, pain, etc. and allow their being to heal in the way that is perfect for them right in the moment. This may not be a cure, but it will always offer relaxation, ease, balance- all with the intention of supporting the body/mind/spirit for healing, in whatever way is needed.
Well Loulu needed this Reiki energy! She soaked it up, and showed significant improvement immediately. I have been seeing her for several months now, and although she has had some setbacks, and still has spells where her body is challenging her, over all she is much better! She is still taking some medications as well as receiving periodic chiropractic adjustments, but we are now able to spread the Reiki sessions out to every 2-3 weeks. Her eyes are bright, there is a spring in her step, and a great willingness to go for walks and explore.
It is a pleasure to arrive at Loulu’s and be greeted with such anticipation and joy! To watch her become calm and balanced, to witness her trust and openness, and receive her gratitude as we finish up is deeply humbling for me.
