What is Animal Energy Healing?

Hi, I'm Carmen Lara. Since 2018, I’ve been dedicated to supporting animals of all kinds through the gentle, non-invasive practice of energy healing. As a certified Healing Touch for Animals® practitioner, I work to assist your animal companion in finding their natural state of harmony and well-being.

At its core, this work is about supporting the body’s innate wisdom to heal itself. All beings have an energetic system that influences their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. When this system is balanced and clear, the body is better able to thrive, heal, and maintain vitality.

I act as a facilitator in this process. Using energy, intentional touch (in-person) or focused intention (distance), I help restore flow and balance to your animal’s energy system. This holistic approach supports their overall wellness and complements any traditional veterinary care they may be receiving.

How Can It Help? In Simple Terms.

Think of it like a tune-up for your animal's inner vitality. Just as we can feel "out of sorts," animals can hold onto stress, discomfort, or emotional residue from past experiences. This can show up in various ways.

My work helps to stabilize the energy system, which encourages the body's natural healing processes and promotes deep relaxation. It’s about clearing the static so their own "internal radio" can play clearly again.

I commonly support animals dealing with:

· Physical Challenges: Injuries, illness, post-surgery recovery, arthritis, cancer/disease support (as a complement to veterinary care).

· Emotional & Behavioral Stress: Anxiety, fear, reactivity, grief, past trauma (physical or emotional), adjustment to new homes or routines.

· Life Transitions: Support during competitions or events, palliative care, and gentle support during end-of-life (euthanasia) transitions.

· The Bond: Enhancing and supporting the unique, healing connection between you and your animal.

My Approach: Rooted in Science, Guided by Heart

My foundational training and certification are in Healing Touch for Animals® (HTA), a respected and structured energy modality. You can learn more about the HTA program and its principles here: Link to Healing Touch for Animals Website.

My practice has evolved to intuitively meet each animal where they are. While the session may appear similar, I also work with deep spiritual aspects, including working within their Akashic Records, as I connect and assist with the animals whole Self in this multidimensional work for the animal’s highest good. My primary intention is always the same: to serve as a clear channel for healing energy that supports your companion’s unique journey back to balance.

Important Note: Energy healing is a complementary therapy. It does not replace diagnosis, treatment, or care from a licensed veterinarian. I always recommend working in partnership with your veterinary team.

What Happens in a Session?

1. The Connection: Every session begins with an intention for the animal’s highest good. For distance sessions, I connect energetically using a photo and your animal’s name and location.

2. The Work: I assess the animal’s energy field, working to clear congestion, restore flow, and stabilize their system. This promotes deep relaxation—many animals lie down, sigh, or fall asleep.

3. Guidance for You: Animals are deeply connected to their humans. I often receive intuitive insights or simple guidance to pass along to you. This might be a suggestion for their environment, a gentle activity, or an insight into their emotional state, allowing you to continue the support at home.

4. Integration: The healing process continues to integrate after our session. Animals often rest deeply and may drink more water as they process the energetic shifts.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

Every animal and situation is unique. While even a single session can provide profound benefits—such as deep relaxation, pain relief, or emotional release—some concerns benefit from ongoing support. Be sure to checkout the testimonials to see examples of what this work looks like.

My general recommendation is a minimum of two sessions. Think of the first session as a "reset" for the energetic system, and a follow-up session 2-4 weeks later helps to solidify the new patterns, address deeper layers, and assess the shifts that have occurred.

We will work together to determine what is best for your animal. After our initial session, we will keep in touch to observe the changes. Based on the energy work, the intuitive guidance received, and the shifts you witness at home, we will collaboratively decide on the next steps.

Whether it's a single tune-up or a series of sessions, my goal is to provide the right level of support for your companion's highest good.
