Welcome to PAWSitive Connections, a heart-centered business in Red Deer, Alberta. My name is Jennifer Dawson, my passion and mission is to enrich the lives of animals and the humans that care for them, and to help people connect more deeply with their animal loved ones. I am a Reiki Master Teacher of 9 years, a Certified Animal Reiki Practitioner and Professional Animal Communicator of 2 years. avid animal advocate and spiritual seeker.
As humans we are making a conscious shift towards holistic healing, prevention, integration and balance in our own health and wellness. I believe we owe it to our pets and ourselves to give the same attention to our loving animal companions. I have had the honor to serve hundreds of animals and their guardians, and have witnessed the following incredible results:
Sharing Reiki with our animals can bring about great healing of their mind, body and spirit and can balance their intricate energy systems which regulate emotions, behaviors, health, and overall wellbeing. Animals love Reiki as it is holistic in nature, gentle, pain free and stress free, and they can choose their own level of participation in the energy. Reiki is also a gentle support for senior pets and can help animals as they transition towards rainbow bridge. Within the sacred space of Reiki, I believe anything is possible!
Animal Communication can bring us clarity about how our animals feel, both psychically and emotionally; help us learn what they want and need, help us to understand their perspective; can help prepare them for upcoming changes, treatments or procedures, get answers to questions; help them cope with grief and loss, and can aid us when making end of life decisions and more. Trust me this really works, and is a skill that can be learned by anyone!
Please note that Animal Reiki, Animal Communication and Gemstone Healing are spiritual supports to your animal's well being and are NOT exclusive to veterinary care. These modalities are meant to be integrated together to create a well-rounded health regime for your animal.
In gratitude.
WHAT IS REIKI:
Reiki is an ancient form of energy healing that can heal the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual levels of any living thing. Reiki is believed to have originated in Japan in the 1800's but some believe that Reiki was forged in the mystical city of Atlantis along with Crystal Healing. Reiki is practiced throughout the modern world today and is gaining credibility and momentum.
REI stands for spirit and KI stands for life force energy. All living things are comprised of energy, chakra's (energy centers) and an aura that surrounds them. Humans and animals alike have intricate chakra systems within them that regulate the bodies functioning and emotional wellness When that energy is out of balance the result is often illness, pain or stress. One could describe Reiki as energy medicine and it is an exceptional healing tool for your animal, for a variety of ailments and situations. Animals LOVE Reiki and they intuitively understand Reiki as a healing energy!
WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN ANIMAL REIKI SESSION:
During a Reiki session with your animal, I will channel the universal life force energy and send this energy through the hands and the eyes to promote healing. I may place my hands on or just above the animal, and will use intuition to guide me through the session. As the Reiki energy flows through me to the animal, Reiki will begin to re-balance the KI and the energy centers, strengthening the animal’s natural healing systems and allowing the animal to facilitate his/her own healing response. When animals healing systems are performing at an optimum level, the mind body and spirit can work in harmony.
Most animals will relax during a Reiki treatment and allow the energy to flow; others show their gratitude by licking, tail wagging or purring; some animals will me show exactly where to place my hands by moving around during treatment; and others may refuse treatment. As a Professional Animal Reiki Practitioner, I will always honor the animal’s request to receive or not receive Reiki. Always have water on hand for your animal after a Reiki treatment!

Communicating with an animal is a two way process, there is a sender and a receiver. Now here is the amazing part....telepathy can be done in person or over distance! A great example of this is when you are thinking of someone and the phone rings, low and behold it is the very person you were just thinking about. Coincidence or Telepathy?! We have all had telepathic experiences, we just don't recognize them as such.
When I ask an animal a question, I receive from them pictures, innate knowings, feelings, words, thoughts and emotions. For example, if I were to ask a dog what part of his body was sore I may feel pain in an area of my body that corresponds to his, or he may also send me a picture of the area. Sometimes the animal will even show or tell me how the injury happened. I act as the translator and the voice for the animal and take all this information and put it into words for the person to understand.
I am able to connect to your companion animal through energy and conscious intention; send/receive information and messages with your companion animal, believe me this is really possible and the results speak for themselves.
Learn what your animal is thinking, what they are feeling, what they need and who they really are inside. Hear your pets with an Animal Communication session today!
DEEPEN YOUR UNDERSTANDING, INTIMACY AND BOND:
Discover what your animal is thinking and feeling and what means most to them. Understand how your animal views their lives, their everyday likes, preferences and needs. Understand your relationship; the purpose of you coming together and how any past lives may be relevant to the present.
HELP ANIMALS HEAL:
Communication can greatly assist animals who are rescued from abuse, neglect, abandonment, hording, or living on the streets. Help animals to understand sheltering and fostering and to identify what the animal wants for a new home and what type of human family (i.e.: kids or no kids, are other animals OK or not).
GENERAL CHECK IN:
How is your animal is doing; are they are happy with how things are going in the family and their life (i.e.) do they want different food, are they getting enough exercise, how are they adjusting to the new home or baby.
BEHAVIOR CONCERNS AND ISSUES:
Once the root cause to a behavior can be identified, we can negotiate changes and work towards a mutually agreeable solution to resolve the behavior and reach positive resolutions, while improving the relationship with your animal in the process Understanding if there are any emotional issues and/or energy blockages causing the behavior that need to be addressed or cleared.
HEALTH ISSUES:
Understand animals views and experiences with illness and health problems, asking them what hurts and where, the pain level, preparing an animal for surgery or other medical interventions. I can also gain energetic impressions of your animal's energy systems.
FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD CHANGES:
Discuss upcoming changes with your animal such as moving, bringing a new person or animal into the home, someone is leaving; you are planning a vacation or your schedule at work will be changing. Animals have a say and would like their voice heard on any changes that happening in the family.
COPING WITH GRIEF AND LOSS:
Animals are individuals who grieve like humans. When there is an anticipated or sudden loss in the family your animal needs to know, so they can grieve as they need and will understand why their person is grieving too. Grief and loss does not only include death, it can include being surrendered and being abandoned.
END OF LIFE PREPARATION:
It is vital to know and be sensitive to what your animal feels about their own life and death process. If they are fighting to live, want to get well, and are willing to undergo helpful treatments, then that is how they should be supported. However, it may be hard to know when to end treatment and let go or, to know if your animal is ready to begin their transition. With the help of your veterinarian's diagnosis, your own intuition, and a communication session with me, you will be able to understand your animal’s feelings and wishes for their end of life process. Animal Communication is not a magic wand that can cure illness or make the loss of animal loved ones less painless, but it does hold great potential to make these times of challenge more intimate, meaningful, informed and sacred.
ANIMALS IN SPIRIT:
Often people feel their animal is still around after they pass; people have experienced sounds, visions, physical sensations, smells and other synchronicity that indicate their animal is there with them in spirit. Animals usually communicate comforting, loving messages after they pass on; they give us good advice from their expanded perspective and they often feel they must continue to care for us. Being able to connect with your animal in spirit can greatly assist you in coping with the death of an animal loved one. Perhaps you desire closure or maybe you didn't get to say goodbye, maybe you have questions on their passing and their life with you or if they plan to reincarnate to be with you again.

I can also tell you if they know how to get home and what made them leave in the first place, and if they are under care of another human and wish to return to you.
