Animal Reiki Master Training

Imagine standing beside a horse, a shelter cat, or a bird in distress—and having the skill, presence, and energetic mastery to offer genuine healing. The Animal Reiki Master Training at Omega Institute invites experienced practitioners to step into this profound role. Led by Colleen Benelli through the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT), this master certification program deepens your ability to work with animals across species and teach Animal Reiki at all levels. Whether you're drawn to companion animal healing, wildlife rescue work, or building a teaching practice, this training offers the technical and spiritual foundation to do so with integrity and skill.

This isn't an introductory course—it's designed for practitioners who have already completed Animal Reiki I & II and hold human Reiki Master credentials. Over this intensive program at the serene Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY, you'll move beyond technique into mastery: learning to conduct sessions with nuanced presence, activate healing symbols with precision, and embody the Animal Reiki Tree of Life framework. The training bridges the gap between personal practice and service, preparing you to facilitate transformative classes both in-person and online while deepening your own energetic connection to the animal kingdom.

What sets this program apart is its commitment to the whole arc of healing—both the technical protocols and the contemplative practice that makes energy work truly effective. You'll leave with four ignitions, the comprehensive Animal Reiki Master Manual, and specialized healing tools designed to strengthen the sacred connection between humans, animals, and the natural world.

The program combines hands-on instruction with energetic attunement:
