Hi Barb,
Your distant sessions greatly reduced Snoopy’s pain level, it’s amazing! After the first session, his pain subsided and was able to walk up and down the stairs as if he’s healthy. Your way of healing animals is so gentle and humane for the animals and for their people as well. I can’t tell you how grateful we are to have found you and have you treated Snoopy by distant sessions. I was so stressed out by Snoopy’s pain, because I didn’t know what the problem is or how to help him. The vet gave him bunch pain medicines but did not really help… Your sessions ease Snoopy’s pain immediately and gave me hope. Thanks again and I highly recommend Reiki healing to all animal lovers when their animals are sick or hurt.
BTW, Snoopy sends you his love!
Gratefully,
Allison, Sam, and Snoopy

Barb,
Katelyn is doing much better!
After her last session she completely ignored me for about 12 hours. I'm glad that you warned me that she might behave a little strangely at first. After that, she has been energetic, cheerful and very engaged with my husband and I. Her behavior before had been erratic, alternating between looking depressed and then being agitated and needy. Since Wednesday, her behavior has been consistent and while she is engaged with us she is not acting needy anymore. She is also comfortable hanging out in the living room again, a place that she has avoided since Liloa died.
My husband was out of town all week and he was overjoyed when he came home on Friday to find Katelyn so much happier. He knew I was thinking about Reiki but had no idea that you had already done sessions with her. We are both relieved to see our precious cat feeling lively and at peace again.
Thank you again for doing the sessions with Katelyn. We will definitely be in touch with you again. At some point, after we have healed from Liloa's passing, we will bring another cat into our family. I know this will be another big transition for Katelyn and I'm sure that Reiki would be quite helpful.

Barb has been doing Reiki on my cat, Isabelle, for nearly 7 months now. Having Barb as a part of Izzy's support team has been amazing. Izzy was diagnosed with a brain tumor over a year and a half ago (given 3 weeks to live) and it has been quite the roller coaster. I chose to stay with a more holistic route when I can over any Radiation treatments. I was searching for an additional support for Izzy when I came across Barb's web site. I was not totally convinced that Reiki would help, but I was open to the possibility. Since Barb has been working on Iz, her overall well-being has shown to be more stable. Izzy responds so well to Barb and to Reiki. It is very apparent that since starting the Reiki, Izzy has reached a plateau and the roller coaster ride has been on a straighter course with no major highs and lows.
I am so grateful to Barb and the energy and knowledge she brings to each session. She truly cares for Izzy, always "checking up" on her. Words are not enough to express my gratitude. She is an integral part of why Izzy is the Miracle Cat that we now call her.

Barb comes to my barn a couple times a month. From the first time, and for the first time, I've had nothing but positive results with her Reiki expertise and her respect for my horses. My mares, who usually don't respond to anything (but food); from the onset of their treatments begin to immediately relax. Baby is so comfortable with Reiki and Barbara that she will just lie down right in front of her. Sassy my other mare makes no hesitation in getting close to Barbara to guide her on where she needs the most healing. Because of their Reiki treatments, Barbara has established a close bond with my horses which usually is somewhat difficult to do. Because of this closeness, she helps to guide me on how my horses are doing and how they react to the energy treatments. This has become an invaluable tool in helping me move forward with their training/rehabbing where before was impossible. I highly recommend Barb for anyone who is at an impasse with their horse or just for forward, positive input/results.

Barb has a truly loving spirit and is a remarkable healer. She helped my cat Turtle with long distance Reiki during Turtle's battle with cancer and it noticeably helped ease Turtle's physical discomfort and strengthen her spirit prior to her transition. Barb's Reiki also has helped my cat Lady B with the many changes in her life these past few months - from grieving over the loss of her feline sister to long distance car travel to adjusting to having a new kittie in the house. Barb is a resource that I will definitely use again for my pets, and I heartily recommend her services.

Barbara, I just wanted to let you know that Buddy our dog has settled down quite a bit since his distant Reiki treatments. As I mentioned, he has separation anxiety. He used go and lay down by whatever door we went out of and stay there until we returned. He now just watches from wherever he is, doesn't even get up. We used to have to be very careful about the front door because he would bolt, now we can leave the door open and bring in groceries or whatever and he just watches. AT&T was out here yesterday to hook us up to the fiber optic lines and again he was a perfect angel. He also seems to have made peace with Puss our cat. Thank you Barbara!

Barb, just to let you know, all the cats are doing really well. They are calm and more affectionate towards each other. They do not avoid each other as they used to do, nor do they compete for my attention. If one comes over to me, the others feel free to as well. They do not push each other away anymore. I can be petting 5 or 6 around me at one time. Reiki has brought peace to my animal family. THANK YOU!

Just once in a while we meet someone whose passion shines through. Barbara Bettke is one such person. Barbara’s deep love for all beings and her innate desire to be of service to them is clear. The moment Barbara met the BrightHaven animals it was love at first sight and, over the years she has become both a huge supporter of our work, as well as personal friend. Over time BrightHaven has become passionate about the power and healing offered by Reiki and so, when Barbara learned this ancient art it was clearly the most purrfect match. We have seen outstanding results when energy healing is coupled with passion and dedication, not to mention the wisdom, understanding and acceptance of animals. Barbara brings a new element to our work as she offers healing for the highest good to our residents. An obvious benefit to her work is that she is able to offer both hands on Reiki, as well as distant healing and, at times of chronic or acute illness or transition we find Reiki to be particularly invaluable. At these times Reiki will bring peace and calm, as well as healing for a return to wellness or healing for the journey beyond. Barbara works to help these sweet beings as we need her and also travels to work hands on with the animals for us several times a year. Her deep love for the equine world becomes apparent and reciprocated as she offers Reiki healing to the BrightHaven horses. They are well used to receiving energy healing and welcome her loudly!
