We were the proud adopted family of a beautiful white female shepherd whose name bore her countenance; "LADY"... She was a gentle giant who gave herself heart and soul to anyone who had the time for a friendly pat on the head.

In her declining years she was stricken with Myelopathy which rendered her rear legs useless, and resulted in tremendous stress on her upper spine and shoulders. Lady received every type of procedure and medication: steroids, hormones, homeopathy, aromatherapy, acupressure, acupuncture, chiropractic; you name it, we did it....nothing alleviated her shuffling gait or her painful condition, nothing…until we met Diane Novak.

We were amazed at the transformation in Lady from the first session. She was more alert, started eating again; and wanted to go for her "drive-out" (her daily car ride with the family); by the second visit she was "smiling" at Diane.

When we first came to see Diane, Lady was literally at "Death's Door". As the result of the Reiki therapy, Lady lived another eight months, but more than the time, was the quality of her final days. They were spent quietly, peacefully, and pain free with the dignity she so deserved.

We were blessed to share our lives with such a wonderful creature, and so grateful we had the wisdom to overcome our doubts and find what we needed for our dear friend.
