Bring your animal family back to balance ...

Everyone experiences stress. Our cats and dogs naturally take that in through their shared journeys with us. Sometimes they develop behavioral and/or physical symptoms, just as humans do.

Ricci Cat & K9 offers a unique variety of holistic services to support you and your animals: Energy Healing (Reiki & IET), Canine Massage, Red Light Therapy, Flower Essence guidance, Behavior Coaching (dogs/cats) & Pet Sitting.

​We are here for your support, guidance, and healing! Your animals deserve peace, and so do you!

What Our Clients Are Saying (See more Reviews & Happy Clients)

"Like you, I loved my dog Olive more than anyone or anything in this world. Olive's health issues began at age two. So when my job required me to travel it was essential I have someone who would take care of Olive with loving responsibility. Shawna was better than I could have imagined! As a healer and pet intuitive, her innate gifts brought calm to Olive and I rested easy knowing Shawna treated Olive as her own. Most of Olive's life she was treated by a holistic veterinarian so Shawna's complementary care was an added bonus. For three months Olive was in severe pain and while she had numerous tests, visits to numerous specialists, acupuncture, massage, chiropractic, hydrotherapy she declined rapidly, undiagnosed. Shawna came to our house one Saturday for treatment. It was obvious that both Olive and I were scared, stressed and tired. Shawna offered to take Olive for a week, giving us both a rest from one another, for Olive to be a part of Shawna's pack and receive healing and massage throughout the day. Olive's retreat turned into hospice care. That last week of Olive's life, my precious girl was able to be in the company of other dogs and cats. As heartbreaking as it was to prepare to help Olive to the Rainbow Bridge, the gift Shawna offered us brought peace and confidence that Olive would be sent to a better place. Words will never express the gratitude I have for Shawna's heartfelt sensitive professionalism, a source of stability and support during this transition, a gifted healer. I look forward to having another dog and yes, yes, yes, that dog(s) will see Shawna regularly!"
