Julie Short

Julie Short is a highly accomplished, certified Reiki Master, teacher, intuitive practitioner, and the visionary founder of Canines of Mind, an innovative, soul-centered wellness practice where she has spent nearly a decade guiding both two-legged and four-legged clients toward profound energetic healing, vibrant vitality, and lasting emotional balance.

 

By beautifully harmonizing her lifelong, deep-seated devotion to animal welfare with an equally profound passion for holistic human wellness, Julie operates on the core belief that our physical and emotional health is intimately, undeniably intertwined with that of our companion animals, ultimately creating a powerful, symbiotic ecosystem of shared healing within the home.

 

To meet the incredibly unique energetic needs of every individual who seeks her guidance, she draws from an extensive, diverse toolkit of specialized modalities, including:

​

• Traditional Usui Reiki - for deep relaxation and systemic stress reduction.

​

• Celtic Reiki - to seamlessly weave the grounding, ancient vibrational frequencies of nature and trees into the sacred healing space.

​​

• Axiatonal Alignment - to reconnect the body's natural meridian lines to the greater cosmic grid, effectively clearing stubborn emotional blocks and restoring total systemic harmony. ​

 

A defining cornerstone of her specialized work with pets is the internationally recognized Let Animals Lead method, a beautiful, honor-based, and meditative approach to animal Reiki that completely respects a pet's absolute autonomy, allowing them to choose exactly how, when, and from what physical distance they wish to engage with the healing energy without any form of restraint or expectation.

 

Through a rich, thoughtfully curated offering of private one-on-one sessions, professional certification classes for aspiring practitioners, and interactive community workshops, Julie successfully bridges the communication and energetic gaps that often exist between humans and their animals, cultivating a deeper layer of mutual understanding.

 

Her unique practice empowers dogs to find a calm, centered state—effectively alleviating complex issues related to separation anxiety, behavioral struggles, rescue trauma, environmental stressors, and physical discomfort from aging or injury—while simultaneously supporting their human guardians to heal physically, mentally, and spiritually.

 

By holding a deeply compassionate, entirely judgment-free space, Julie teaches her clients how to quiet the mind and listen to the subtle, silent language of energy, offering the gentle guidance, practical tools, and energetic support needed to restore profound peace, balance, and unconditional love to the home and heart, ultimately proving that true wellness is never an isolated individual achievement but a beautiful, shared lifelong journey of health, harmony, and mutual connection
