About Us

My Name is Sherri Lynn and my Introduction Into Reiki was thanks to a little white dog named Shockey.  He had been hit by a car and was lying still on the side of the road.  This little guy was a mess.  His back leg was in the shape of an “S”, he was bleeding from the nose, had mucous coming out of his mouth and his eyes were rolled back in his head.  As he lay motionless on the side of the road, I was drawn to get on my knees and put my hands on him.  As I laid my hands on him, all I asked was that if he was going to “go”…to please take him quickly so that he wouldn’t have to suffer. 

With the commotion of rush hour traffic and people stopping to offer help, I felt like I was in another place, surrounded by the safety of something I could not explain.  After a few minutes, Shockey had a seizure, lost his bowels and went limp.  I stayed with him, silently encouraging him to do what he needed to do.  Much to my surprise, after another few minutes, Shockey tried getting up to run back across the highway, I tackled him and calmed him until his owner came and scooped him up.  I walked with the owner so I could wash up. 

As I was talking with his wife in the kitchen, he came in to tell us that Shockey was putting weight on his leg.  In the time it took me to dry my arms and walk outside, this little guy was sprinting across the back yard.  I looked at the owner and told him that I thought the dog was going to die in my arms. 

As I walked back to the car, I noticed my hands were tingling.  It was a feeling like I've never experienced before.  I was truly amazed by the power of intention, love and stillness.  Since that day, many animals have put themselves in my path to assist in their healing. I continue to immerse myself in books on energy healing, and have completed formal study in Reiki, Animal Communication and other healing techniques. 

Below are just a few more stories of animals finding their way to me before I had any formal training.  The list has grown substantially since then.

The Bee

I was house sitting for friends and was enjoying some free time in their pool when I noticed a bee struggling in the water. I gently lifted it out of the water onto the side of the pool. It walked back to the edge of the pool and it dove back in. I lifted it out again. When I lifted it out for the third time, I placed my hands around it and told it to take what it needed and to please not to "do this" on my watch. After a few minutes, the bee flew off high over the neighbor's house. 

The Bullfrog

Friends and I were participating in a silly adventure in NYC that was a cross between The Amazing Race and a scavenger hunt. One of the things we had to do was buy a bullfrog in Chinatown and deliver it to somebody in another section of the city. The frog was put in a clear plastic bag and was jumping frantically in the bag trying to get out. We thought it would be wise to tear a small hole in the bag for him to be able to breathe. After tearing the hole, the bullfrog used his strong legs to launch himself out of the bag and onto a very busy Chinatown Street. I calmly walked over and placed my hand on him until someone brought me another bag. Once in the bag, I carried this frog in my flattened palm all the way to our next destination. He was calm and seemed to be happily "in the zone". 

Cappy

While walking in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Houston, Tx, I was drawn to a very slow moving dog off in the distance. He was walking diagonally away from me, yet I was still drawn to him. As luck would have it, when I got to the next corner, I had to turn left. After about a 3 minute walk, Cappy and I met and after receiving the owner's permission, I was drawn to put my hands on his back legs. Immediately, the familiar tingle returned. Turns out, Cappy was nearly 20 years old and riddled with arthritis in his hind quarters. The owner said that he doesn't usually walk as far as he did to come meet me. I kept my hands on Cappy for about 10 minutes before I had to leave. As he slowly walked away, he took the time to stop, turn around and give me a grateful wag of his tail.
