Irene Potter is an avid lover of animals. She has discovered many things about herself, the natural world, and the spiritual world with the assistance of animals. Currently, Irene has one dog and three cats…but those are not the animals she credits with spiritual self-discovery. Those are the beloved pets highlighted below, the two that set the stage for all the loving animal friendships to follow and her current path.

Irene Potter is currently a Reiki Practitioner with over four years of private practice for her own pets. While working with western medicine experts for her dog with cancer (Duckie), Irene began to explore holistic healing methods. This exploration led to Reiki, Aromatherapy, Herbalism, Crystals, Art, Handmade Crafts, and Spiritual Exploration. Duckie is why it all started.

As Irene began this exploration, she discovered feelings that had long been suppressed, as can be common. When those feelings became overwhelming, her other dog, helped her to explore and understand those feelings. This dog, her Ride or Die - Merle, could sense her feelings and his behavior would allow Irene to recognize her feelings and begin to process. Although short, Merle’s life was beyond meaningful in so many ways.

Western medicine diagnosis gave Irene’s loved dog (Duckie) a 6-9 month life expectancy. The combination of western medicine and holistic healing, he happily lived 3 years after diagnosis.
