May animals light your way 🐾

Elaine McCarty is an Animal Reiki Master, ordained interspecies minister, and passionate educator. In 2018, she walked away from a 35-year corporate career to follow a calling she could no longer ignore - a ministry of love devoted to nurturing the well-being of animals, the planet, and the human spirit.

A pioneer in the field of human–animal spiritual connection, Elaine helps others rediscover the sacred bond between species. Through her teachings and sessions, she connects clients and students with the spiritual wisdom of animals, revealing how these beloved companions serve not only as friends and family, but as powerful conduits for healing, transformation, and awakening.

Elaine’s work is rooted in reverence, empathy, and a deep belief that animals are our spiritual partners—guiding us on a shared journey toward greater connection, understanding, and love.

Natural Healing Support for Pets & Their People

 

SoulPetAnimal Reiki Private Session

Gentle Healing for Every Journey

A holistic and compassionate approach to your pet’s well-being — whether they share your home, your pasture, or your heart from afar. Reiki is suitable for all animal companions, including dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles, and even snakes.

Animal Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive energy therapy that helps reduce stress, ease anxiety, and support healing from illness, injury, emotional trauma, or age-related challenges. It works in harmony with your pet’s natural ability to heal — promoting peace, comfort, and connection.

Sessions are offered in person (where available) or remotely from any distance, making this support accessible no matter where you or your animal companion may be.

All Pet Reiki sessions now include a complimentary copy of my ebook Reiki for Pets to help you continue the healing journey at home.

SoulPet Peaceful Crossings

Sacred Sendoffs for Animal Souls

Compassionate, non-medical support for animals and their human companions as they navigate the tender journey of end-of-life.

As an Animal Chaplain and Reiki Practitioner, I provide gentle, holistic care that honors the emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of both pet and person as an animal companion is preparing to transition. These sessions are designed to bring comfort, clarity, and peace as your beloved animal companion is preparing to transition.

Available in person (where possible) or from any distance with the same heartfelt presence and care.

This service is 100% donation-based.

SoulPet Intuitive Reading

Where Compassion Meets Healing

A safe, sacred space for navigating the heartbreak of losing an animal companion. Whether your grief is fresh or years old, you are not alone.

In this private session, Elaine will hold an intuitive reading with your beloved animal companion on the other side. A "reading" or session allows you to receive and share Sacred Messages with your pet who has crossed. On your behalf, Elaine will help you receive messages of validation, signs, healing and intuitive insight from your animal companion.

Virtual sessions offered via Zoom — because love transcends time, space, and even death.

Take the Stress Out of Visiting the Vet

When it comes time to take your dog or cat to the vet, pet parents often find their hands full with a fearful, anxious pet. Scratching, whining, clawing, cowering, hiding.

But it doesn't have to be that way!

The truth is, there is only one reason pets freak out at the vet - Stress!

This simple 7-step process can make a trip to the vet clinic practically painless...even for the most stressed out pets.

Intro to Animal Reiki - Pre-recorded Video

Curious about Animal Reiki? Wondering if there is a way that you can help your pet through illness, injury, anxiety, terminal illness? In this workshop, recorded live, you will be introduced to the basics of Reiki for animals including how you can use Reiki to improve the quality of life for animals and yourself!

Reiki for Dogs - Pre-recorded Video

While dog-sitting for this bonded pair of Weimeraners, I turned on the camera for our daily Reiki session. Take a look and watch how quickly Reiki helps them to get calm. At one point, Shelby brings her blankie to lie down by me. No filters, no edits (except for the part where Payton knocked over the camera), just a peaceful time spent with these beautiful dogs!

Reiki for Cats - Pre-recorded Video

Cats show us exactly why we let animals choose how to receive the healing energy of Reiki. Forcing Reiki hand positions on an active cat is invasive and counterproductive. Bubba J, a feral cat who "tolerates" humans, shows us he can enjoy the healing benefits of Reiki without hands-on treatment.
