In 2011 Michele began a relationship with the Animal Welfare Society in West Kennebunk, ME. Once a week Michele volunteers her time offering Reiki and Animal Communication to creating an environment for finding out any emotional or physical concerns that require healing and also asking the dogs what their ideal forever home will be.
Michele has worked with many dogs and has found that she is able to provide healing and work on behavioral issues to find its root cause and offer the shelter options for facilitating the healing further and create emotional change in the dogs. This has created situations where dogs are finding homes and have released any ‘baggage’ from their previous experiences.
Many stories will be shared on this page of dogs who have shared their experience with Michele and have found their forever home. Through the Reiki work Michele has found dogs who are depressed, confused or sometimes even happy to be out of a previous environment. She has worked with dogs who have aggressive issues and has been able to communicate with them to find out why and how they may be helped, whether they are in pain, or need to spend time in quieter areas of the shelter, or with the staff. Michele has also worked with dogs who had illnesses ‘brewing’ in their body and the staff were able to provide medical evaluation and veterinary care for them.
Michele has found that through her energy work and tracking each dog in a log, how the dogs improve physically and emotionally and the shelter is able to track their adopted families. Many dogs have gone to home that they had asked for which creates so much opportunity for this work to continue.
The AWS has been so incredibly supportive and Michele receives emails, like this one:
“I wanted to tell you about Zeus that you had worked on. I noticed a big change in him right after that. He started showing joy and was happy to go out with volunteers and come to class. I heard he got a really good home. So I wanted you to know that it was a big difference after being with you.” -Kim
Michele recently worked on a pitbull who was showing extreme aggression when in her kennel with those she did not know. Once out of her kennel she was so incredibly sweet. I took her to the Reiki area and during the session I was able to gain a lot of information from her including a request for a name change and her desire to spend time with the staff. When I returned a week later I was told that she had greatly improved and her interaction with people was much calmer.
Doja had been at AWS a very long time, when I went to see her she was in a quiet outside kennel, but it felt like she was hidden (her choice). I took her to where I offer Reiki to the dogs and began to work with her. She had cloaked herself in a veil, this veil protected her from being seen and therefore being adopted. She lacked self confidence and didn’t feel she was worthy of a being adopted. The reiki and communication provided an opportunity for her to remove energy blockages, rebalance her emotionally and clear the veil. When I returned the following week, Doja had been adopted!
Working with Shelter dogs creates a whole new environment for energy work as they are in transition and require a gateway to their forever home. They will wrench at your heart, or provide you with an opportunity to offer healing. Some, like one-eyed Jack, were movin’ on! Ready for that next home, no interest in the past! He found a perfect match a week later. Michele believes that by writing down the experience with each dog she is creating an intention and through the energy work raises the dogs vibration so they may align and synchronize with their new owner(s).
If you have adopted a shelter/neglected/abused animal, there is much that can be done to facilitate emotional, behavioral and physical healing. This is not something you have to ‘live with’, it may take a little time but there are so many options available to provide a healing environment for both you and the owner.
