Joanna Dover Reiki Master, Animal Communicator & Psychic Medium
About Joanna
Since starting my intuitive journey in 2018, I have dedicated my life to helping others - both human and animal - find healing, clarity, and energetic connection. My path broadened when I became a Reiki Master and energy healer, channeling universal life force energy to promote balance, peace, and well-being.
With experience my energetic skills blossomed, allowing me to become a Psychic Medium, connecting clients with messages from spirit and providing insight to support their life’s journey. A natural progression on this journey for me was to become an Animal Communicator, which allows me to bridge the gap between people and their animal companions, fostering deeper understanding and harmony.
Whether I’m working with a person seeking emotional or spiritual clarity, or an animal in need of support, my mission is to create a safe, loving space where transformation can unfold. Every session is rooted in my deep passion for service, integrity, and the belief that healing is a collaborative, sacred process.

Prior to seeing Jo, I have never had a Reiki session before, but had always wanted to try one. I didn't really know what to expect but I definitely wasn't expecting to have such meaningful and positive results from just one meeting. During that session any hesitation I had initially felt had withdrew and I felt completely guided and supported by her energy, presence, and voice. Her energy work helped me become more attuned to my love life, my family life, and certainly my relationship with myself as well. I have recommended this lightworker to all my close family and friends, and they share similar results (often with tears of joy). You're an Angel among us, a sincere thank you for all the wonderful work you are doing!

Joanna is a gifted healer.
Through her use of reiki, I felt more in touch with my spirit than I have in a long time. Also, I had never found meditation effective before until she used her knowledge of chakras and breathing techniques to teach me a new way to meditate, which actually worked for me!
Her sessions gave me a deeper understanding of myself and greater emotional clarity. I saw her during a difficult time and she genuinely helped me through it in a positive and enlightening way!

When I was diagnosed with cancer and given the remediation plan (surgery, chemo, radiation), I hired Joanna for weekly reiki sessions with the expectation that she would help move energy that would aid in my healing process. With her intuitive connection and energy though, Joanna went much further and deeper to identify numerous blockages that I had long buried but were harming me at a systemic, physical level. With her expertise over the course of a year she helped my body endure and recover, while cleansing me at a soul-level so I emerged from my cancer treatment refreshed, revitalized, and whole.
I have so much gratitude for the special mix of talents Joanna has and highly recommend her to everyone.

Joanna creates a space of emotional sensitivity and safety that allows great healing to begin.
With her ability to unobtrusively tap into my energetic fields, she acts as a sort of journey guide. Her capable and compassionate intuition helps shift and move energy, bringing me to a state of calm and balanced self-awareness, like a tune-up for my soul.

I've had the privilege of having a few reiki sessions with Jo and they have all been quite profound experiences.
Jo is a gifted reiki practitioner, channeler and healer, who deeply tunes into her client's energies, bringing forth both healing and transmissions about each chakra. Not only have I felt better and more aligned after each session, but I have had many insights about my health, energy levels, chakras, relationships and life path. Jo is also extremely kind and present with her clients.
For those seeking reiki and energetic healing in life, and so much more, I could not recommend her more highly!

Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at jo_dover@hotmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Think of a discovery session as a friendly, informal chat via Zoom or phone. It’s an opportunity for us to meet, explore your intentions, and see if we’re a good match. I’ll also suggest which healing approaches might be most helpful for you.
Reiki comes from two Japanese words: “rei,” which means universal, and “ki,” which means life energy. At its heart, Reiki is based on the idea that there’s an unseen energy flowing through all of us—an energy that keeps us alive and well. When that energy runs low, we often feel stressed, tired, or even sick. But when it’s strong, we feel happier, healthier, and more balanced. This gentle practice was developed by Mikao Usui in the early 1900s and draws on ancient Japanese healing traditions.
During a Reiki session, the practitioner gently places their hands on or just above the recipient’s body, creating a calm and supportive environment for energy to flow. Acting as a conduit for universal life force energy, the practitioner helps restore balance within the recipient’s energy system, which is believed to encourage healing and overall well-being. Sessions typically last anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes and are often held in a quiet, peaceful setting designed to promote relaxation and comfort.
Reiki is often used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medical treatment. While it is not intended to cure diseases, many people describe feeling deeply relaxed, less stressed, and more at ease after a session. Some research suggests that Reiki may help reduce pain, anxiety, and symptoms of depression, making it a supportive option for those seeking holistic well-being.
Reiki is one form of energy healing, based on the idea that the body’s own energy has an incredible capacity to heal itself when given the right support. In my sessions, I don’t limit myself to a single approach—I draw on a variety of energetic tools and techniques, guided by intuition and what feels most appropriate for each individual. This flexibility allows me to create a personalized experience that supports balance, healing, and overall well-being.
Having an energy treatment is usually a deeply relaxing experience. We often begin in a seated position, taking a few moments to talk about what’s happening in your life and what you hope to receive from the session. From there, we slow things down with a few deep breaths, gently bringing your attention to your body and the present moment—setting aside the past and the busy realities of everyday life.
As the session begins, I tune in to your energy, noticing any areas of imbalance—whether that’s blockages, weaknesses, or overactive patterns. From there, I work intuitively to restore harmony. I often start with the chakras, as their energy tends to be more pronounced, and then move toward subtler layers. Healing can feel like peeling an onion: as one layer softens, another reveals itself beneath.
? Experiences vary. Many people feel deeply relaxed, while others notice sensations like warmth, tingling, or gentle movement of energy. Sometimes, as blocked energy releases, emotions may surface—joy, relief, or even anger—depending on what needs to pass through. This is a natural part of the process.
My goal by the end of each session is to help your energy settle into a state of balance and energetic congruence—so your body feels calm, centered, and ready to support its own healing.
Mediumship is about creating a connection of consciousness between embodied souls and the souls of those who have transitioned. Mediums act as a bridge, using abilities like seeing, sensing, or hearing to share messages and evidence from the spirit world. Many people view this practice as sacred because it channels spiritual energy to bring guidance, reassurance, and peace.
My pricing is based on a sliding scale to promote accessibility. Payments within the suggested range are accepted without question; please select an amount that aligns with your financial comfort. Higher contributions help sustain lower-cost services for others, ensuring equitable access for all.
Healing and energetic reading services work equally well in person or online—neither option is stronger than the other. Some people enjoy the physical presence of an in-person session, while others prefer the comfort and security of their own space, especially if they anticipate feeling vulnerable. For those who live far away, online sessions are often the only option, and clients consistently report experiencing the same benefits regardless of the format.
If you’re uncertain about which service to book, a complimentary discovery session can help clarify your goals. Healing modalities are interconnected, and I apply the most suitable approach for your situation—ensuring each session is tailored to your personalized.
When I connect energetically with an animal, they often share images, feelings, or intuitive impressions with me. Through these messages and our consultation process, I can interpret their communication to better understand their needs, desires or concerns.
No need for your animal companion to stay present during the reading. A few clear photos, particularly of their face, are all I require unless they wish to be there!
I am in the PST, Pacific Time Zone. I work with people in many different time zones. If this is a concern, please feel free to reach out and we can find a time to connect that meets your needs.
