Description

Specialties

Animal Communication

You love your animal companion and you know them better than anyone, but you wish you knew what they were thinking. You are concerned about some aspect of their health or behavior, and you wish they could talk to you and tell you what’s wrong.

I work with compassionate animal-​lovers who want to increase the appreciation and understanding they share with their animals. By using animal communication to translate messages between you and your pet, I help you construct a deeper bond of love and trust.

Reiki

You’re looking for natural healing for yourself or your pet, but you’re not sure where to start. You wonder, «What is Reiki, and how can it help?»

I work with conscientious people looking to bring natural energy healing into their lives. I use Reiki to bring physical, mental, and emotional balance to my human and animal clients. I work to increase health awareness and aid in the natural healing process, improving quality of life for you and your animal companion.

History

Established in 2008.

Joy of Energy has proudly been serving animal lovers in the Portland area (and beyond) since opening in 2008.

Meet the Business Owner

Michelle L.

Business Owner

Michelle is an outdoors enthusiast – a true daughter of the Pacific Northwest who enjoys rowing, hiking, running, and other outdoor activities. A Portland native, Michelle grew up with an appreciation for the proximity to forest, beach, mountains, and the local wildlife.

Michelle’s talents and experience include a degree in biology (specializing in animal physiology and behavior) and Spanish, certification as a Usui Reiki Master, as well as her natural gifts as a healer and a teacher. She specializes in uniting the science of life with the energy of life to provide comprehensive information in her healing sessions for people and pets.

Her abilities as an animal communicator were discovered at an early age through her uncanny connection with animals. Now she has cultivated her skills to provide not only a way to communicate with animals, but also to use guided intuitive information and Reiki as healing tools.

A true animal lover! Michelle found a lost dog in busy rush hour Portland traffic and worked with Fremont Vet Clinic (they scanned the dog for a chip), to bring the dog home safely. Such compassion and caring for animals is a real plus. I highly recommend Joy of Energy for her caring connection to animals.

Michelle is a wealth of knowledge! I took Reiki 1 with her and Rosemary and it was great! Can’t wait for a treatment and to learn more!

I’m reviewing Michelle’s incredible Reiki skills. I had an impromptu Reiki session with Michelle, when I was suffering from a terrible bout of nausea and a headache; I had indulged a bit the night before and was determined to still go on a gorgeous hike in Bend. I was feeling very defeated, then Michelle stepped in. Within 30 minutes, my whole energy body and physical body began to settle and not only feel better, but I felt completely rejuvenated. I have wicked hangovers, that when they rear their ugly head, can last up to 8 hours. So, honestly I was a bit skeptical that Reiki would do the trick. But it certainly did that and more. I basically pranced the 6 mile hike! Thank you Michelle, you magician you.

WOW! Michelle is an amazing animal communicator! I have 2 amazing kitties for over 12 years as well as 2 adorable angora rabbits. Mimi my bunny has been having a hard time with ear mites, as well as problems with her vestibular system and her balance. I took her to the vet many times and nothing they gave her seemed to remedy the problem.
When Michelle came over to talk to my animals she first shared with me any messages that my animals had for me, and then allowed me to ask any questions I wanted. I asked Mimi about her health and the first thing she communicated was that she had a pinched nerve in her shoulder and right arm and she was being careful to not put a lot of weight on it because it was hurting her. Mimi had previously fallen in her cage a week or so prior and landed on her right side and broke off her right pinky toe nail. Michelle was unaware of Mimi’s fall, and I quickly saw how tuned in with her she was! She also helped me to switch Mimi’s medicine to a more natural medicine source, using some «young Living» essential oils. Mimi loved the change! She is improving rapidly and happily!
There would have been no way that i could have figured out on my own that Mimi was having nerve pain, and it was such an incredible blessing to finally be able to have a conversation with my animals and ask them how they feel, what they like and don’t like, and so on. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone that has pets! It has transformed my relationship with all my animals! I finally feel like I understand them and they understand me! If you have any questions for your animals, definitely get in touch with Michelle, you wont regret it! :)

Michelle was referred to us by a couple of friends. Our Australian Shepherd puppy was getting into his 6 month old «terrible 2s» stage where he was pushing boundaries and selectively listening and we didn’t know what to change in our behavior to communicate with him effectively.
After meeting with Michelle we felt like we had a whole new bag of tricks to play with and a clearer understanding of who Osa (our dog) was as a personality. Fastforward 2 weeks and things are very different in our relationship with Osa and all for the better.
I can’t pinpoint exactly what effected the transformation but what I do know is that Michelle was a part of it.
Thanks!

Recently my dog, Gracie, injured her shoulder. Of course we do many wonderful and natural things to help her heal. However, I am very grateful for Michelle and the intuitive nature of her relationship with Gracie. Gracie finds her way into Michelle’s lap and receives (soaks up) Reiki. Gracie’s shoulder is much improved. I highly recommend working with Michelle for any of your animals. Thank you!

I attended a recent Shamanic Animal Guide journeying event hosted by Michelle. It was a wonderful experience working with new people to delve into the animal spirit realm, listen to what the experience brought forth, and work to incorporate those archetype strengths into everyday life. I am grateful for the work.

I am part of Washington Akita GRoup, an Akita rescue group based in the Pacific NW. We had a bonded pair of Akitas that had separation anxiety, and were constantly escaping, causing us much worry. We had reached out to a behaviorist/​trainer and that helped a bit but after the last escape from her foster’s yard, we had to try something new. Michelle was recommended to us by a person who had adopted an Akita from an area shelter that had come from horrific circumstances and the results were amazing. So we thought we should give this a try.
Michelle hit many things right on the head as to the reasons these dogs might have these issues and seemed to know what both dogs were thinking and feeling. Her advice to open up to the animals resulted in almost immediate calmness in both dogs. There were no more escape attempts and it seemed the dogs knew and understood what their foster mom was telling them — that she cared and that they would always be loved and safe and that they would be going to a great new home where they would experience love and security.
If you have tried all else and still can’t get past problems — give Michelle a call. You won’t regret it

I live in Seattle and had an Animal Communication session with Michelle over the phone for my 9-​year old Cavalier King Charles «Harley». After we completed the session, she did a distance Reiki session for Harley.
I consulted with Michelle on the recommendation of a trusted & very discerning friend in Seattle. I had several specific questions/​issues I wanted to address including: barking when I leave home, stiffness in Harley’s body, what seemed to be hearing loss, and the potential adoption of a rescue.
I learned SO much in that one session! Michelle’s connection to Harley was obvious — her intuitive «presentation» of Harley’s personality was spot on. The things Harley had to say to me were wonderfully surprising and resonated a great deal. We thoroughly addressed each of my issues and Harley had time to offer her comments as the end… offering me splendid dating advice & asking for much desired peanut butter! :)
We spent a whole day out and about today, just two days after the session, and I did not see any signs of stiffness from Harley! And yes, she’s had little dabs of peanut butter too.
I will call Michelle again if and when any issues arise with Harley and I have already shared her contact information with several animal-​loving friends.

Michelle is amazing.
She understands the needs of animals and helps people develop healthy relationships with the animals in their lives. She helps people figure out boundaries and understand what their animal is trying to say.
