I felt immediate comfort with her and I felt in my heart that she had the best intentions for me and for humanity. She was able to help me focus on a few areas and helped me release energies that no longer served me in order for me to continue my healing journey. Arianne always made me feel at ease and was patient with my questions and thoughts I had for her. I can't wait to see her again soon!

I wasn't totally sure how the session would go due to all the time/space between us but it was no different than the times I've seen Arianne in person. In fact, I may have been more comfy since being at home allowed me to drop in with less self-awareness, anxiety, fear, etc! The care and healing Arianne facilitates is so, so special and powerful ~ to feel this grounded and good after a distant session speaks to her abilities! Thank you Arianne!!

I was unsure of what to…read moreexpect except for connection with other women healers, but it wound up being good that I had no expectations since this group surpassed any expectations I would have had. The closeness and connection that we nurtured provided a soft spiritual place for me to land every month with whatever was going on in my life. As a facilitator, Anna was kind, supportive, celebratory, empathetic, and sensitive to the needs of the group. The spiritual work we did together in that group was deep and profound, and I feel like I am in a different place in my life after a year of this work. The different themes, topics, and reflections were varied and seemed to be timed perfectly to what the group was going through. I am so grateful for the magic, the warmth, the support, and the spiritual nurturing I received in this group. Blessings to Anna and the Dreaming Otter!

I just completed Reiki I with Anna last weekend, and it was such a beautiful experience.

She definitely attracts incredible people - there were 12 other students in my cohort and they were all very accepting, open, and warm individuals. I explored a few different options for Reiki training in the Bay Area before I was referred to Anna, and I'm so glad I decided to take it with her! Also, not the important thing, but a delightful detail: the certificates you earn after completing the training are exquisite!

I reached out to Shekhina for a Reiki healing session not knowing much about Reiki and unsure of…read morewhat I hoped I would get out of the session. All I knew was that I was numb towards the beauty of life and I had started to make the state of unhappiness my new normal - I needed help. After the session, I was in a stable state of deep calmness and lightness. The cloud of darkness, self-doubt, weight of negative thought patterns disappeared. I am still living in the beauteous hope for unlimited possibilities that Shekhina restored in my life. During the session there were times when deep emotions were surfacing, the false narratives I told myself were breaking down and Shekhina helped me see the truth of my inner being through her work. Mankind needs more beings like her!

A long-term relationship had ended…read morejust after I'd moved countries for it, and I was struggling to find myself in the midst of a pandemic. I'd never seen a healer before. I didn't even know if Reiki worked. But I received what felt like a divine sign after my first session with her. The man I was grieving for reached out (after months of silence) hours after my first Reiki session. Some people might believe this was just an uncanny coincidence, but each successive session sprang another surprise. After I finished my 4 sessions with Shekhina, he wanted me back. Only now, I was in my power. I was whole. I didn't need something that didn't serve me anymore. While I found Reiki to be the most healing, Shekhina also pushed me to reflect and channelize my creative energy. She wasn't afraid to give me tough love and call it as it is. At the same time, she made me realize that tough love isn't always the way. I learned to be more gentle with myself. Somewhere along the way, I had forgotten to love myself. Shekhina helped me reclaim myself.

Meeting Mar and having my reiki session was exactly what I needed. I've been struggling with…read moreanxiety for the past year and a half and it has affected a lot of aspects of my life. Because of the pandemic, there has been a lot from my past that I've been forced to deal with and that has had an impact on me as well. There was so much breakthrough and emotions in my first long distance session. That night I actually got a full 8 hours of sleep and that hasn't happened in a LONG time! On top of that, my family noticed a difference about me and my energy. It felt weird feeling 'normal' after not feeling normal for a long time. I know there's still a lot that I need to work on so I'm definitely looking forward to the next session. Hopefully can try a home session soon!

I've been sort of going through a rough patch aka that which is 2012-2019 (yep) and I'd been doing a lot of soul searching, questioning, and experimenting. My best friend who lives in Las Vegas had mentioned her experience with Reiki and how great her experience was, so I began to do my research. It wasn't until maybe last year that I was aware of people's energies and more specifically chakras and their effects on people. I had always just felt mentally disconnected from my body and as if my energy(energies?) inside were clogged and extremely stagnant. With what little I knew of Reiki, I thought I'd benefit from a session. Why not? I actually searched on Yelp for a practitioner, and came across Reiki Works. I didn't know what I was going into and I didn't know how to prepare. Reiki was a new experience. This made me a bit nervous. I didn't even know if Reiki was "going to work". Luckily enough, Maret helped me feel at ease and she's a great person to talk to in general. It felt more like hanging out and catching up with a friend more than it did seeing a practitioner who has to do work on you, so some of my nervousness dissipated. I'm really, extremely fortunate that Maret was the one to co-pilot this cathartic Reiki session with me. It was an inexplicable experience that was both physical and mental. I don't know what happened exactly, but I am for sure reaping the benefits of just that one session alone. I will most definitely be booking more sessions with Maret further down the line, after I do some homework and introspection of my own. Trust me when I say to trust Maret as your co-pilot!

I could feel all my muscles relax, where I had been straining and tightening in my skull. I could feel where she was working with various energy centres and my body felt deeply held and seen. After she worked, we talked, and she gave me insight about where external energy was affecting my internal energy field and restricting me. She gave very clear insight about this. That evening I felt a lot better and the next day even better. It was as if huge tension had been lifted and I was clearer, much more productive and able to function. Really, really great work. Thank you Caroline!!

I found his testimonial fascinating and though the curiosity was there for years, I hadn't yet gotten myself to a "yes." Recently, I've experienced significant shifts in my life that have made me ask: How might I best support myself through this time? How can I support my mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical heath? What tools are at my disposal? Five weeks ago Reiki popped into mind and I found Laura here on Yelp with only 11 reviews at the time (I'm so happy to be number 12) and something just told me that Reiki Patio was the one for me. First of all, I am an aesthetics gal and Laura's space is beautiful. Being outside on her patio feels like you're in a treehouse suspended above reality for a while. The sound of the wind through the trees is calming and even the very subtle sounds of the city seems symbolic as I observe myself being part of two worlds. It's peaceful, whimsical and rejuvenating. Second, Laura is a wonder. Since completing four sessions with her I have experienced so many unique healing moments that I attribute to Reiki. I feel tuned in, strong, and supported. It's clear to me that Laura has a gift and a clear sense of her own personal purpose. It comes through in EVERYTHING she does (her resume and background is very impressive). I have been so blessed by her generosity and so grateful to have found her. I strongly encourage you to go see her if you are curious or looking for a new Reiki practitioner. You can always sign up for one of her 15-minute consults if you need to baby-step your way through. Here's to hoping that if you've read this entire review, you'll find your way to a "yes" like I did.

He provides light emotional-spiritual coaching alongside the needle treatment, and I find that to be a very important component of healing from chronic conditions.

He had me on his table for an hour and I swear to god I left that office feeling like a new woman. Prior to this session I was walking around with so much stress and anxiety and I walked out feeling completely different. In case you were curious what kind of treatment I got Sascha centered my treatment around hormonal regulation and calming down my nervous system. It was absolutely what I needed.

Not only did Bella bring so much energy and information instantly to the reading (with very little information from me), all the lives she tapped into made so much sense for me in many ways. I was edge-of-my-seat fascinated the whole time. I love how she taps into the past lives herself, taking the pressure off you, allowing you to retain a sense of control and ability to ask questions and take notes throughout. Even after all that, the most worthwhile takeaway for me was the energy clearing she provided at the end for my energy centers affected by all the past lives. It was super quick at the end and affected me in big positive ways that I (and my husband) noticed almost immediately. And I'm still receiving imagery from my dreams reflecting these lasting changes in my subconscious. Truly amazed. Highly recommend!
