Help Your Cat Thrive with Compassionate, Expert Care
Hi, I am Karin
I am a certified cat behaviour consultant and Reiki Practitioner on the Gold Coast, Australia.
Is your cat struggling with stress, anxiety, behaviour challenges, or health concerns?
Or do you want to give your beloved puss a very special treat?
With over 10 years of hands-on experience and specialised training in feline behaviour and animal Reiki, I help cats and their families find balance, healing, and harmony.
Whether through gentle energy or practical behaviour guidance, I am here to support you and your cat in your mental, emotional or physical health.
Do you recognise cats’ subtle signs of
pain and emotional tension?
Cats start feeling uncomfortable long before they soil outside the litter box, hide in the cupboard or show unfamiliar aggression.
If you’ve found your way here, chances are something has shifted in your home. Maybe you’re worried… and unsure how to help.
You haven’t failed your cat. They aren’t being “bad.”
They simply communicate the only way they know how -
and you’re already taking the most loving step by seeking support.
Meet Karin
My journey with cats began over a decade ago as a volunteer in the cat quarantine section of a local shelter. There I worked with some of the most vulnerable animals: sick, frightened and unsocialised cats. Some were too scared to be touched. Some would tremble just hearing footsteps. Some would melt with relief the moment they realised they were finally safe.
Those moments taught me to slow down, listen deeply, and meet every cat with patience and compassion. I learned that a slight ear flick, a half-blink, or the softest sigh can tell you everything you need to know.
Today, I bring that deep understanding to help you and your cat - working with both, compassionate behaviour coaching and energy healing. Through practical strategies I guide you find the root causes of unwanted behaviours and create lasting positive change. And animal Reiki promotes relaxation, reduces stress and supports your cat's natural healing abilities. Many families find that combining both approaches gives their cats and themselves the most comprehensive support.
I have a Certificate Feline Behaviour & Psychology, a Certificate Cat Behaviour Health Practitioner, a Certificate II Reiki / Animal Reiki and 10+ years hands-on shelter experience. But my greatest teachers have been the hundreds of cats who showed me what trust, patience and healing truly look like.

Behaviour and environment enrichment coaching
Your cat never deliberately wants to annoy you. But behaviour issues also never happen for no reason, and they rarely come out of the blue.
They are often a sign of fear, stress or boredom. Or your cat’s needs aren't being met. Often, what we perceive as "bad behaviour" is actually natural feline instinct that needs proper outlets and management.
My Approach
I conduct in-home visits to observe your cat in their natural environment. This allows me to understand the full picture: your cat's personality, your home setup, daily routines, and the triggers for unwanted behaviours. From there, we create a personalised plan that addresses root causes, not just symptoms.
Important to Know
Behaviour modification requires commitment. I'll provide you with clear guidance and practical strategies, but lasting change happens through consistent daily implementation. You're not alone in this process - I'm here to support you every step of the way.
What is animal Reiki?
Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing practice that channels universal life energy, and thereby promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and supports the healing process in animals. A bit like turning down all the background noise in their mind and body.
When the noise quietens, the body can rest.
When the body rests, healing becomes possible.
While it's been used successfully in hospitals and hospices worldwide for humans, it's now also increasingly recognised as a powerful tool for animal care.
Reiki practitioners use intention, focus and meditation to build an ‘energetic bridge’ to the animal. It is a gentle, non-invasive and stress-free process that creates a space of unconditional love.
It can be offered hands-on or from a distance, which makes it ideal for cats who are fearful, overstimulated, elderly, or recovering from trauma.
Reiki offers a holistic approach to animal welfare that works alongside but does not replace veterinary care.
A core feature of Reiki is that it can do no harm!
Remote Reiki: Healing Across Any Distance
Reiki energy isn't limited by physical distance. Through the principles of quantum physics - similar to how wireless technology works -
I can connect to your cat's unique energy frequency from anywhere in the world. Remote sessions are ideal for cats who are anxious around strangers, during emergency situations or when you're unable to schedule an in-person visit.
For Anxious Cats: Creates deep relaxation and calm in stressed or fearful cats
For Recovery: Supports healing after injury, surgery or illness
For Behaviour Issues: Addresses underlying emotional causes
For Trauma: Helps animals recover from mental and physical abuse
For Senior Cats: Provides comfort, eases pain and improves quality of life
For Prevention: Maintains balanced energy and optimal well-being on all levels
For End-of-Live: Offers peaceful support during the transition
Benefits for animals
What to expect
You will see me make contact with your pet and then establish a silent energetic bond.
Your cat remains in complete control. Some cats choose to approach for hands-on healing, often guiding my hands to areas that need attention.
Others prefer to receive energy from across the room - and that's perfectly fine. The energy reaches them either way.
Once they have had enough, cats will simply end the session and walk away.
Session durations can vary, depending on what your cat needs and how much they're comfortable receiving.
The number of sessions varies based on your cat's specific situation and we'll discuss this during our initial consultation.
I do home visits or remote Reiki sessions only to make sure your cat is as relaxed as possible.
My promise
I will always meet your cat where they are, never where we want them to be. Safety and emotional well-being come first.
