Looking for a meaningful way to honor your departed animal companion and keep their spirit alive in your home?
Join us in designing a sacred altar filled with love and memories that you can create in your home.
This class will guide you through the process of designing a sacred space that reflects the love, spirit, and memory of your animal, providing a peaceful place for healing and connection.
You’ll learn the practical aspects of altar building, including choosing the perfect location, selecting meaningful objects, and how to create a ceremony around the altar. We’ll also explore how to refresh the altar with temporary or permanent offerings to keep the energy alive.

Feel free to bring object or pictures from home that you want to include in your design board. Supplies will be provided to help spark ideas, as well!

Hi, I'm Jaime!
I am an Animal Reiki Teacher, Certified Companion Animal End of Life Doula, and personal Mesa Carrier in the Andean Shamanic Tradition. I dedicate my time and energy to supporting animals and their human companions during life's most tender moments, creating compassionate spaces for healing, connection, and transformation.
Specializing in Animal Reiki and End-of-Life Doula services, I help pets navigate chronic illness, anxiety, and aging while guiding their families with empathy and respect. As a certified practitioner of the Let Animals Lead® Method of Animal Reiki, I blend mindfulness and presence with practical expertise in animal health and compassionate, non-clinical support during end-of-life transitions. My role as a Mesa Carrier deepens my connection to the natural world and reinforces my understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings, enhancing my ability to support the emotional and spiritual needs of animals and their families with grace and presence.
Guided by my mission to spread compassion, I honor the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of all beings. My work reflects a profound respect for the resilience of the human-animal bond and the harmony that emerges when we embrace our shared journey.
Through The Empowered Companion, I offer a heart-centered approach to healing and renewal. While specializing in Reiki and end-of-life care, I also provide Collaborative Feline Behavior Modification and Compassionate Care Pet Sitting. These services empower families to cultivate harmony, connection, and well-being with their beloved companions.
