Llacuna Matata - Animal Reiki Healer - Nationwide
Reiki is the Japanese method of promoting healing and relaxation using energy. It was developed by Mikao Usui in the 1920's.
Reiki works whether you are in the same room or long-distance. The energy goes where needed to provide maximum results.
Animals know when people are trying to help them. With Reiki, they intuitively recognize the healing energy, and often position themselves in a way to maximize the accessibility of the affected area.
While Reiki is not a cure, it works on both physical and emotional ailments. It has been known to eliminate aches and pains, stress, depression and anxiety. It can be used to pinpoint the specific location of the pain or discomfort, which can be helpful when relaying their condition to a veterinarian.
Cherie Llacuna is the owner of Llacuna Matata Reiki. She is a great believer in the healing power of laughter. She believes that in today's "busyness", it is all too easy to get caught up in the "stuff". This leads to our bodies putting themselves in survival mode, and internalizing the stress so we are able to make it through the day. Cherie uses Reiki to release the "busyness" so you can focus on what really matters in your life.

About Cherie Llacuna — Certified Animal Reiki Healer in Linda, CA
Cherie is a certified animal reiki healer based in Linda, CA, offering virtual sessions to pet parents and their animals nationwide. With a personalized, animal-led approach to every session, Cherie 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, Cherie 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. Cherie 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 Cherie Can Help With
Cherie 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.
Cherie 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, Cherie provides gentle, compassionate support — offering comfort and energetic balance for both the animal and the people who love them.
Why Book Cherie on PetWorks?
Cherie is a verified, certified animal reiki professional with credentials you can trust and real reviews from pet parents who've experienced their work firsthand. Every session is personalized and animal-led — tailored to your pet's unique needs, comfort level, and specific challenges rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. Virtual sessions are available to pet parents across the US, meaning your animal companion receives healing from the comfort and familiarity of home regardless of where you're located. Cherie is based in Linda, CA and serves pet parents nationwide through PetWorks.
