Annie’s Story
Annie is a foster dog who had a very sad start in life as a puppy mill breeding dog. When she first came into foster care she was terrified of everyone and everything. It was hard for her to be out of her crate at all, and she would shrink from contact if a hand reached in. Annie was terrified in the outdoors; she would run in circles and cower by the door to go in .Thanks to Jill she has come a very long way. With the help of the Reiki sessions that Jilloffered to her and the play sessions with her balanced dogs Shiloh and Sadie, she is now comfortable walking outside in the yard, on a leash, and around the home. She will eat treats from our hands now and accepts petting without trembling. She even looks for us when we go to other rooms in the house.Thank you Jill!

My dog Dan was in a dog fight that left him with serious injuries. One of those injuries was to one of his rear legs. While it wasn’t broken, it had to be wrapped. He also had to remain immobile for 4-6 weeks. After that time frame the bandages came off, but he still couldn’t put any pressure on it. There was visible atrophy to his muscle. Follow up visits to the vet resulted in a lot of head scratching. They said there was no reason for him not to walk on it and there was nothing else they could do. Then I met Jill. She told me the reason he wasn’t walking on it was because of the emotional trauma of the dog fight. The pain of that memory was rooted in his rear leg. Jill took Dan into her home for three days and nights. Using Reiki energy she completely healed him. When Dan came home to me he had full use of that leg. Thank you so very much Jill. Dan is now thriving, happy and healthy.

Dear Jill, Here is a picture of the boys together on the couch. After all their fighting, you told me to envision this and I did. And here they are! A little later they were a little further apart, but they had their paws outstretched to each other. They play together now and even eat out of the same bowl. Thank you Jill. Your Reiki sessions were successful for both Leo and Sir Thomas. This never would have happened if it wasn’t for you! Namaste.

Tomorrow I’m going to see Jill Buckman, the Reiki Master I’ve seen in the past. She is like a spiritual tonic and touchstone of support. In previous sessions, she has always been able to not only calm me, but guide me to where I can channel my energy. I leave her sessions smiling inside out and very content to move forward in what I believe. Plus she has her amazing partner, Shiloh, a three year old Golden Retriever. I swear I can feel her communicate to me. At random times during the session she will stay right next to me, resting her head on my arm. I feel truly blessed to having Jill help me find the paths of truths I seek. She is a magical healer, a wonderful guide and gifted teacher. It’s an honor to have her in my life. Thank you so very much

Mr. Boo, Mr. Peek and Ms. Ruby
I met Jill over a year ago, through a recommendation from my veterinarian. I am still thankful for having made that call. My cat Mr. Boo (10 years old) had low self-esteem. After the second visit, my other cat Mr. Peek, (10 years old) wanted a session of his own. After just a few sessions, Mr. Boo was noticeably more confidant and Mr. Peek was very relaxed.
In May of this year, we took in our former neighbor’s cat, Ruby, an 11 year old girl, because her mom needed extended hospitalization. Ruby always ran away and hid in her own home when anyone came by. She is now a purring pile of fur that owns her space and is readily accepting of affection. WithJill’s guidance and gifts, all the kitties are happy, content and cohesive. I am certain this would not have been accomplished without Jill’s gifts. We all look forward to our monthly visits with Miss Jill.

Murphy the Bull Dog and his Human Parent’s Story
It was winter and Murphy had slipped on the stairs and did something to himself. We were worried because there was huge bulge in his belly area. And I knew he would need surgery and not a cheap one. So, before we had a surgery, we decided to see if there was a Reiki healer for dogs. We have had reiki done on ourselves for years and love the results. So we thought ok let’s see. We looked on line and found one in our area. However, she sent us to Jill. Our experience with Jill has been a life changing wonderful experience for us.
Murphy’s treatment began when we got a hold of Jill. She came right over to our house. And by the second visit the bulge in Murphy’s belly was gone. However, it had some healing to do on the inside. Jill told us that Murphy should not go up or down our stairs for 6-8 weeks. So, because Murphy sleeps with us and he could not do stairs, we pulled the mattress off the guest room bed and put it in the living room for the entire time. Murphy healed without having surgery. I have also gone to see Jill a few times as well. And I love what she tells me. She said that often when a pet is healed, the human needs to be healed as well. And I can tell you that is a true statement
Murphy wants to get Jill’s attention every chance he can. We asked her to come to work with him when he injures his hips. He would jump or slip and put his hips out. She would come and he would be healed after one or just a few visits. Jill always heals him and he just loves to see her. He has claimed her as his own just as he has claimed me. We cannot say enough for all of things she has done for our bull dog, Mr. Murphy, or for us. She has been a god send and we are so blessed she is in our lives. We would recommend Jill for any pet or human who wants a holistic way to heal. And Reiki really works

My Journey With Jill
Nothing happens by coincidence – ever.
The loss of a beloved horse and my struggle to bond with a new black and white Paint horse named Toby haunted me every day. I was stuck in my grief and a frustration that didn’t seem to end. It wasn’t by chance that I was in the right place at the right time lamenting my sadness to someone I didn’t know that well, but he knew Jill and gave me her business card. I was intrigued; but engaged in contacting her quietly. Why? Because I was an old school cowgirl. My pride insisted that I should be able to make Toby cooperate – but that was our battle; the more I pushed, the more Toby resisted.
I needed help and refused the advice of other cowgirls like get bigger spurs, buy a meaner whip, be his boss – and just make him! Because I wanted more than just mastering Toby – I wanted him to want to be with me, I wanted a deeper relationship then all that.
So, Jill and I spoke, and then she came to my place to meet Toby.
She explained Toby to me in a way I’d never considered and opened my eyes to what he was thinking and feeling; I had no idea he understood so much! There were things that he needed too, and with Jill’s help, I’ve been able to change my approach so that Toby can begin to fully trust me. But I still needed tending to, I was still mourning my other horse, and come to find out, a great many other things that were holding me back, and so I went to meet Jill at her studio for a Reiki session focused just on me.
My first visit was eye opening. My second visit was life changing. To find relief from anxiety, fear, and dread that I had been toting around for years that was so instilled it just seemed normal, but it wasn’t!
The size of which, when Jill helped free me of it, brought Shiloh (her beautiful dog) into the room barking fiercely! Ordering the negativity out and the weight with it! This amazing dog was aware on a whole other level about what Jill and I were trying to accomplish, and with Shiloh’s insistence, I was set free. Free to go forward on this new journey with confidence and wonder at what I discover every day.
Jill is a gifted soul, where her presence and words affect the very air around her. I will be forever grateful for the upheaval in my life that led me to her; because it wasn’t a coincidence that I met her and now I will go forward to touch the lives around me, and the lives I haven’t even met yet, and I know that it was all meant to be.

Time passed and Jill asked if she could help me with a problem I was having with muscle fatigue from over training. I was curious and open to the approach and took her up on it. For an hour, Jill worked her “magic” on me. It was a totally relaxing and healing experience. When Jill was done, she said very softly to me, “you’re done” and I think I was so relaxed that I was just about asleep! A day later, my muscle fatigue was actually much improved.
I know Jill’s work with animals will be a wonderful success. She has a manner that is so trusting and comforting, I am sure it will resonate with any animal. She has shared with me some of her success at Lollypop Farm, and I am not surprised.
I highly recommend someone use her wonderful gifts either for themselves or their animal or both. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

She’s a woman with whom I’ve worked and a cherished friend.
And??
When her beloved dog was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, she discovered her natural gift for healing. She has enhanced this gift with multiple courses in Reiki, becoming a Reiki Master. With her pets back on their four feet, for she uses her gift and training with all her pets, she has chosen to volunteer with the local humane society. Here she works with animals who are ill, have had surgery or are depressed from having been separated from their families and are awaiting their new families. While she works in this setting primarily with dogs, other animals at the shelter, pastured nearby, are drawn to the healing energy which emanates from her. She knows that the energy flows through her due to her willingness to share with animals in need.
When she visits my home, my easily threatened, rescued dog accepts her presence and happily sits beside her while we eat lunch and discuss issues of importance. He is an extremely discriminating little guy, so his welcoming attitude toward Jill is its own compliment and tribute to her very real gift as an animal healer.

Even her pets, whom she has given reiki to, exhibit such calmness and peacefulness which I have witnessed and are loving and well behaved. They too are a pleasure to be around.
Getting a session from Jill is the best gift you can give yourself or a friend-give her a try and you’ll be glad you did. It’s the purest and best medicine you can give yourself.

I breed standard poodles. For the first time, because of Reiki sessions, my two males no longer fight if one of my girls is in heat. They can spend the day together instead of my having to keep them separated. Other breeders are surprised as much as I am. My home and life are in harmony now, within myself and with my dogs.
Jill has given me Reiki treatments for 1.5 years. I finally can do things I couldn’t do before due to high pain that is now 90% gone. After waiting 14 years, I was finally able to learn Reiki myself. I studied with Jill and I now am a Reiki Level 11 practitioner. Thank you so much Jill. It has been a passion in my heart to help animals and people as you do. Words alone can’t express my gratitude.

I will continue to love and adore him on this journey. He has been more happy (it seems) and active the past few days since we spoke. Because of your wise and soothing guidance, I have changed my way of thinking to being more positive and even though the grief is there and will surface again, I will do my best to continue telling him how much he is loved and I will always take care of him. I think he knows…

Bella’s K9 Training
That was an amazing experience. I have never felt so relaxed in my entire life. I could feel the energy flowing through my entire body. First I felt rocking sensations, then I felt vibrations. The coolest part was it felt like the entire room was hugging me in a warm, welcoming embrace. I would like to add that I am not a religious person. However, I do feel there are forces out there (nature in my opinion) which are stronger than humans. I felt very connected to this force. After I left I felt different, I felt relaxed, I felt introspective, and more aware.
Thank you for that experience. I will not hesitate to have another session again.
