For 21 years, Erica has practiced Reiki, guiding others in energy healing and soul alignment. Just For Pause Energy Wellness Studio is the newest evolution of Just 4 Paws (20 years), expanding beyond companion animal wellness to offer Reiki, shamanic balance, and soul alignment—virtually anywhere. Designed for the spiritually awakened, it supports those ready to expand their energy and embrace their soul’s mission.

For over 20 years, we have offered Reiki and energy healing to companion animals and their people. What began as a heart-centered mission -- Just 4 Paws Pet Spa & Academy -- to support companion animals has naturally evolved—because true healing must begin with us first.

At Just For Pause, we believe in helping people help their companion animals, and that starts with supporting the humans in their healing and transformation.

We are pleased to announce that the Just For Pause Wellness Studio is now offering energy balancing, alignment, and transformational wellness services for everyone: adults, families, and companion animals.

This journey begins virtually, with distance energy work that allows us to receive powerful healing from anywhere in the world. In the future, we will open our first physical Wellness Studio in Lyndhurst, NJ—a sacred space for in-person healing, connection, and community.

Hi, I'm Erica Salvemini, Reiki practitioner, vegan mom and New Earth content creator. I believe our journeys are written in the stars long before we take our first breath.

Mine began as a young girl, an animal lover and fierce advocate for their well-being. I spent my early years comforted by the deep connection I had to the many companion animals around me, sensing their emotions, understanding their silent language, and knowing—on a soul level—that my purpose was intertwined with theirs.

Just For Pause is the natural evolution of Just 4 Paws Pet Spa! For over 20 years, we’ve supported people and their companion animals through heart-led services. Now, Just For Pause expands this mission to focus on soul-centered energy wellness for people. Stay connected on our current social pages as we transition—you’re exactly where you need to be!
