"Christina is wonderful. So intuitive, kind, and thoughtful. She has been such a source of insight and comfort to me with my beloved dogs. I trust her implicitly and am so grateful for her gifts❤️"---Eileen L., Danvers, MA
"My recent reiki session with Christine (accompanied by feline friend, Coraline) was relaxing and cathartic. I feel calmer, clearer, and highly recommend her services. ✨️" ---Rhiannon C., Salem, MA
"I'm so grateful! ❤️ it meant the world to me to get some insight about my aging dog who eventually passed away. The details give me reassurance that you did connect with my old girl. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💜" ---Beth T., Salem, MA
"You’ve help me feel at ease after my session. Knowing my dog was content with her life with us. Made a bit easier at the end. Thank you." ---Beth T., Salem, MA
“Christine Paiva gave a beautiful animal communication session for our pup. I was feeling nervous (and guilty) for leaving Abbott with a dog sitter on an upcoming trip and she offered such reassurance and exchanged so much love. Her reading was accurate and left me with a feeling of peace. Highly recommend!”---Natasha K., MA
"I booked three different animal communication sessions for three well-loved dogs. For Padma, I wanted to have a better understanding of her needs and also understand her better. For Tia and Chuckie who have both passed on, I wanted to make sure that they are both OK, and I had questions regarding the circumstances around their passing. The insights that Christine had concerning Tia’s and Chuckie’s transitions were extremely helpful. Christine gave me the insight that I needed to gain more peace around how and when they both passed. Christine also picked up on the different little quirks around Padma’s, Tia’s, and Chuckie’s personalities. That stood out to me. The session has helped me bond with Padma even deeper, and has helped me maintain an even stronger connection to Tia and Chuckie who have both passed on. I would definitely recommend this experience to other pet lovers. Christine is a delight to work with, and her ability to share her gifts with others is something that’s well needed in the world. This experience brought me a lot of peace and comfort that I have been wanting for the past decade since Tia and Chuckie passed away".---Melissa M., CA
"Working with Christine was amazing. She was able to confirm my intuition about certain things with our pets and fill in the areas of communication that I felt were lacking. There was a question of whether to keep doing lifesaving measures for Ace, and she was able to share with us that he felt loved and was ready to let us go and visa versa. This was a huge relief. It really helped me to be at peace with the choices we were making on behalf of our beloved pets. It was especially helpful because I was sharing our pets with my former husband, and we didn't see eye to eye on course of care, and I had her support of direct communication with both dogs".---Peggy H., Eden UT
"Christine and I have been working together for several years now. I have asked her to help me in her role as an animal communicator with three of my dogs. She is nothing short of amazing! I had a particularly difficult situation with one of my beloved dogs and I know were it not for Christine’s gift and guidance I would not have the acceptance and peace I do. She is a blessing💕". ---Eileen L., Danvers, MA
"I am an incoming sophomore in high school stressed about class choices and aligning my classes with a career I’m not even sure will stick with me. Loaded with summer work my limiting beliefs are preventing me from completing, I came to Christine seeking some grounding. First we started with EFT tapping, sorting through my stressful, racing thoughts, then we went to reiki. I felt I became more aware of my stressors and felt the weight of them lifted. Afterwards, we discussed ways to manage stress and words of affirmations to help me further. We also discussed changing the way thoughts are said, changing negative thoughts to be worded in a grateful and positive manner, altering the stories I tell myself".---Sienna C., Hudson, NH
"I love your AMAZING healing powers and innate knowing. I love the way you share your gifts with the world. I am so happy to know you". ---Naomi B., Arlington, MA
"I had my first quick hit Reiki session and didn't really know what to expect. Christine was amazing at explaining it all to me and making me comfortable! I really enjoyed the experience (and my extra bonus messages ). I definitely felt some improvement in a few different areas of my body and will be trying an in person session soon!!"---Julie P., Lawrence, MA
"Thank you so much for the Journaling for the Soul class. It put me at ease about how to journal and had made it easier to start writing. I feel at peace when doing it and felt that way during the class. You have a way about you to make one feel that way. I am so thankful for you".---Edna P., Nahant, MA
"I just had my second reiki session with Christine and it was amazing. We did a presurgical reiki session to help with my anxiety about my upcoming surgery and for a smooth recovery. After my session I felt more grounded, less anxious, and an overall feeling of calm about my upcoming procedure. Her energy was so calm and radiating and just really helped put my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend Christine to anyone who is thinking about giving reiki a try!! Such a wonderful experience and I will definitely be going back for more sessions!!"---Stefanie N., Lynn, MA
"Just had my second reiki session with @c.paiva.wellness & would highly recommend her to anyone thinking about giving reiki a try."---Erin R., Suffield, CT
"Reiki is a very positive and great experience. I had the pleasure of experiencing it for the first time and felt amazing after. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family that are going through something. I will definitely be going back for another session".---Karen C., Lynn, MA
"Looking forward to my Reiki and I can’t thank you enough! I feel at peace! I feel like I can breathe and I don’t feel that overwhelming sadness I’ve felt for months! Thank you thank you thank you!"(After an animal communication session with two pets)---Carol S., Nahant, MA
"I felt both calm and energized after my session with Christine and ready to confidently make a decision I needed to make".---Melanie G., Peabody, MA
"When I arrived for my reiki session with Christine, my energy was vibrating both physically and mentally. Typically, I can’t just lay down and relax, but I found it very easy to lay down and accept the work Christine was doing. I felt internal decompression. When Christine was working on me, one thing I found cool was when she was done working on my feet, I could still feel her hands there even though they weren’t there (I tried to think of a magical way to state the feeling of the energy that was present while Christine was at might feet other than “cool”). When my session was over, I felt very grounded and overall, in a better space than I was prior to the reiki session. I will gladly go back to her for more reiki/energy work."---Tara V., Salem, MA
"I like would to start out saying I am not one who normally would actually write a testimonial, but I felt it important to actually give this one.
Over the past year a lot has been going on in my life. My mom passed away, my other half went on a sail halfway around the world (a dream of his), work has been absolutely crazy demanding (all I do is work and sleep) and finally the real love of my life (my cat Sebastian) had to be put down. My heart is truly broken. I can't even tell you how stressed I was. I felt the tightness in my chest and just assumed at some point it wouldn't surprise me if I had a heart attack.
I had no idea what reiki was. Something about your energy? But being an open minded person, I figured it couldn't hurt to try it. So I did.
Christine was amazing. We chatted first about everything I was going through as well as where I felt the stress in my body.I have to say my session actually relaxed me and I felt as though I could actually breathe better after. She really is aware and cares about focusing on your comfort and needs. I actually decided to do another session and again felt better after it.I still don't understand everything about it but all I know is it works for me.
I am also planning to do a session on Animal Communication to check on my perfect boy and see what maybe she can read from him. Bit nervous about this one, but I know with Christine's help I will handle it.
Overall I am so happy Christine offers these services. I never realized how important and relevant they are in my life.
Thank you Christine! You are a true angel!"---Trish P., Arlington, MA

I have known Christine personally and professionally for over 20 years. During that time she has been instrumental and essential in helping me tackle various pet related issues with my four-legged family members.
As an intuitive, she has helped me make treatment decisions with my pets’ complicated medical cases. My pets have always been willing to “reach out” to Christine and, through her, make their wishes known to me about whether to keep fighting for their recovery and, eventually, when they are ready to let go and transition.
She has guided and supported my decisions when it was time to help them transition on to their next journey in this universe and several times she has been present to aid in sending my furry family members on their way.
Following the loss of a pet, she has provided comfort and support through the grieving process, always with significant empathy and honesty. Often this comes with lengthy conversations and never once have I felt that my feelings of grief were invalid or silly. Christine has patiently spent hours on the phone helping me work through the complicated feelings that arise after the loss of a pet.
Several times, she has helped me to connect with my deceased pets in meaningful ways including through dreams or visions that she has guided me towards. This type of closure, after the loss of a pet, has been invaluable both in preserving the memory of my family member but also in processing the grief that comes with such a profound loss.
Uniquely, she helped a friend of mine locate her missing dog despite having never met my friend and doing so from nearly fifteen hundred miles away. Sure enough, the dog was found where Christine had indicated and suffered the exact minor injuries that she had perceived.
I am so grateful for her gifts as an intuitive, as an animal communicator, and as a grief counselor. Most of all though, I am grateful to have her in my life as a friend.--- Emily M., Merrimack, NH
