Animal Communication and Reiki Healing - Nationwide
I'm a professional and certified psychic, medium, spiritual healer, animal communicator, Reiki Master and Karuna Reiki Master.
Just like Reiki for people, animals have, and can receive this universal life force energy, and are extremely sensitive and receptive to this type of healing. They are more grounded with basic emotions and instincts, with energy as their universal language.
Reiki healing can be used for any animal in any stage of life, and for various reasons including: after surgery for quicker healing, adjusting to new surroundings, introduction to new pets and people, loss of another family pet, animosity towards other pets or people, anxiety or fear, past trauma, destructive or inappropriate behavior, aggression, illness, transitioning to the light and much more!
I use all my ‘clairs’ to psychically communicate with the animals, and am able to see the world from their perspective, and gain a better knowledge of what they are experiencing. I can then decipher which techniques to use to aid them in their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing.
Working with animals and communicating with them, is the best when they are in their own environment where they feel safe and comfortable, but I can also connect with them psychically from anywhere if needed. If travel is needed, I will go to the pet’s location, and preform my services at their home, or safe place. I also offer long distance healing and communication for animals, if traveling is not optional.
With animals, my approach is typically, ‘hands on’, unlike my, ‘hands off’, Reiki technique for people, where my hands are 2″ above the body. The reason being, that animals are far more sensitive, and can feel, hovering hands, above their bodies, which can make them skittish and restless. I find that petting the animal while distributing Reiki, is the most comfortable and familiar for them. If I am unable to touch the animal, I will then distribute the Reiki energy into the room with them. I adjust my technique depending on type of animal: bird, fish, reptile, rodent, etc.
I’m also a skilled veterinary technician, and have a vast knowledge about animal anatomy,
medicine and behavior. I've been working with animals professionally since 2010, and I’m even known as, ‘the cat whisperer’ in my profession and veterinary hospital.
Animals are very spiritual beings, and deserve the same love and respect as any person. I believe they are all wonderful gifts from God/Source/Spirit, and we have a lot to learn from these sweet souls.
*Other services include finding lost pets, and mediumship sessions with deceased pets*.

How did you hone your craft?
Since childhood, I've always been able to psychically connect with animals, and read their energy. I've been working with animals professionally since 2010, and learn new things every day from them!
What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?
Animals, especially mammals, can reflect our own energy. They know when we're sad, angry, depressed, happy, and anxious or fearful. Staying calm or taking some deep breaths can help in some situations with our pets. Energy is their universal language, and are incredibly sensitive to it. They can also understand you, so talk to them... they're also great listeners.
What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!
I work especially well with cats, and have 10 of my own inside my home. I am also known as the, 'cat whisperer' in my veterinary hospital.

About Dixie Tantardini — Certified Animal Reiki Healer in Garden Grove, CA
Dixie is a certified animal reiki healer based in Garden Grove, CA, offering virtual sessions to pet parents and their animals nationwide. With a personalized, animal-led approach to every session, Dixie works with cats, dogs, horses, birds, and other animal companions — helping them find calm, balance, and relief from the physical and emotional challenges that affect their quality of life. Whether your pet is anxious, aging, recovering from illness, or simply out of balance, Dixie brings genuine care and certified expertise to every session.
The best animal reiki practitioners don't just offer energy work — they take time to understand your pet's full history, temperament, and specific needs before a session begins. Dixie brings that philosophy to every booking, working with you to ensure each session is as effective and comfortable as possible for your animal companion.
What Dixie Can Help With
Dixie works with pets across a wide range of physical and emotional challenges. Anxiety, fearfulness, and stress-related behaviors are among the most common reasons pet parents seek out a certified healer — and gentle energy work can produce meaningful, lasting calm even in highly reactive or emotionally overwhelmed animals. For aging pets managing chronic pain, reduced vitality, or the challenges of illness, reiki offers a non-invasive way to support comfort and quality of life alongside traditional veterinary care.
Dixie also works with rescue animals and recently rehomed pets — helping them release emotional imprints from difficult past experiences and settle more fully into their new environment. For pets recovering from surgery or injury, reiki can complement the rehabilitation process by supporting the body's natural healing response and reducing stress during recovery. And for families navigating end-of-life transitions, Dixie provides gentle, compassionate support — offering comfort and energetic balance for both the animal and the people who love them.
