What is a Healing Family Circle with Animals?

The deep connection between humans and animals is one of the oldest and most satisfying experiences in the consciousness of our species. Indeed, it can be the source of profound healing for both parties.

In a Healing Family Circle with Animals, Susan performs Reiki and CranioSacral Therapy on both human family members and animals at the same time. She uses the healing energy and the deep communion of the whole family to help the members heal each other. The reason that this works is that animals naturally fall into the same place that humans do when they are unlocking their own inner healing.

Particularly in families where there are children, the presence of an animal brings about a level of inter-connection that holds the space for healing to occur and sets the stage for a new future.

Susan Hirshberg is one of the only people in North America who holds a Master’s degree in Animal Behaviour and is also a Reiki Master and Certified CranioSacral Therapist. Her specialty as a behaviouralist is Cognitive Ethology, which is the science of understanding animals’ thoughts, emotions and personalities as viewed from their behaviour.
