About Animal Reiki Certification
Certified Animal Reiki Practitioner (CARP) Training
Animal Reiki Certification Training offers the student a hands-on practicum and mentoring with a Certified Animal Reiki Practitioner (CARP). The Certified Animal Reiki Practitioner Training prepares the student to create their own Animal Reiki Practice, providing them a credential that demonstrates that their skills and abilities were supervised and approved by the Animal Reiki Alliance. The credential of Certified Animal Reiki Practitioner (CARP) is awarded to those who successfully complete the certification process in each level.
