We have a pet / guard llama as well.

About Tara Hornich — Certified Animal Reiki Healer in South Bend, IN
Tara is a certified animal reiki healer based in South Bend, IN, offering virtual sessions to pet parents and their animals nationwide. With a personalized, animal-led approach to every session, Tara 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, Tara 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. Tara 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 Tara Can Help With
Tara 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.
Tara 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, Tara provides gentle, compassionate support — offering comfort and energetic balance for both the animal and the people who love them.
Why Book Tara on PetWorks?
Tara 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. Tara is based in South Bend, IN and serves pet parents nationwide through PetWorks.
