Before I scheduled my first Reiki appointment with Renaud, I asked a Zen master what I should do to…read moreslow down over thinking. He told me to imagine putting my thoughts on a boat, let it float, and see what happens. Well, my boat sank... Glad that I didn't sink when lying down on the massage bed at Renaud's Reiki studio during the appointment. Instead, I got much more relaxed and felt like I started floating. I fell a meditation at the session and had very good sleep that night afterwards. Renaud is a great practitioner with a lot of patience and compassion. Before meeting him, I had no idea what Reiki is and the appointment with him was like an adventure. Renaud explained both Reiki and the session to me in details, answered all my questions, and was even willing to give me a refund if I didn't feel comfortable to work with him. He also patiently answered a lot of my new questions after the session and directed me to many useful resources. It had been truly a wonderful experience and I very much appreciate Renaud's help.

EXCELLENT! Renaud is a talented Reiki professional who lives up to his claim to "provide room to…read morequiet one's mind." I felt very relaxed in his presence and walked away feeling even better after his Reiki treatment - kind of like i was floating. He's gentle, kind, easy to talk to and easy to work with.

I have learned to listen to my body and energy. I share with Anjali what is happening before acpuncture and she leads me to what method is best to meet for the session to release my stress. I love how knowledgeable, supportive and versatile Anjali is. Anjali is first and foremost ready to hear and help in anyways through any of her expertise. Anjali is an amazing person. She is down to earth, loving, caring, compassionate, meets you where your energy is, and she asks the questions to get to the root. I recommend Satori Holistic with Anjali! She is phenomenal!

When I began working with Kai in the Sacred Path Training program mutiple years ago, I was hoping…read moreto learn more about my helping spirits, and connect to my creativity. I also was looking for ways to ground and center myself. I was hoping to treat anxiety and my stress level because I needed as a nurse a way to care for me. Plus, I was feeling stuck in my personal practices and my creative life. Through Kai's workshops and teachings, I have learned how to use guided meditation, connected with my animal helpers via lighting dreamwork techniques, and found a way to find so much healing and peace through sound healing. Kai is an amazing, empathic teacher and her practices are taught from a place of sacred healing. Go. Trust me, you'll be glad you did.

Tl;dr I cannot sing Kai enough praises as a teacher, healer, oracle, musician, & overall human…read more When I needed healing for depression & childhood wounds, feeling lost, & freeing my voice, Kai delivered solid results for me in 1 ceremonial healing session. This led me to pursue long term Sacred Path training with her in shamanism, Reiki & energy work, & more. ***Her guidance, teachings, & resources have been the largest catalyst in the awakening of my consciousness & the liberation of my spirit thus far*** The times I have sought her tarot & shamanic oracle services, I've been blown away & could use/work with the reading for at least 1 year. They are that potent, & even the more difficult truths soothe the spirit with their clarity. If you feel a calling to reach out to Kai, *especially* if you can't explain it, my recommendation is: do not hesitate! I've been in Sacred Path training with Kai for almost 6 years. When I met her, I was depressed, submerged in a dark night of the soul, & hungrily searching for something I felt but could not name. I stumbled upon her dream workshop & KNEW I had to work with her somehow. First I went to her for a ceremonial healing, hoping to overcome my depression, regain my beaten-down voice, move past childhood wounds, & "have a mystical experience or two" lol In our session, there was a feeling of profound sacredness as I entered the space, which felt like stepping into the stillness of an ancient cathedral. I felt very seen, held, & deeply curious. She worked with her spirit guides to heal my soul by calling back a lost part of me- turns out it was my inner "Magickal Child," whom I had shut down & completely lost around age 10 after a crisis. The details that she recounted to me from her visions were so eerily specific & relevant to my life, I knew I'd found a genuine, grounded, & skilled practitioner who could bring me real help, healing results, & wisdom, even when I felt skeptical or uncertain. & yes, it was a mystical AF experience! I didn't even know then what Shamanism was, but I knew I wanted to learn all of Kai's skills & be closer to whatever it is she is guided by. After a few weeks of nourishing my Magickal Child on my own, I was feeling newly uplifted, colorful, enlivened, & hungry for more than I knew how to give her, so I began Sacred Path training with Kai where I'd learn many ways to cultivate my connection to my inner spark & spirit, seeking guidance from beyond via shamanic practices & connecting with my own precious spirit guides. At just the right times, I learned about Reiki & energy work, the dying & dead, ancient earth wisdom, & music medicine. A fortuitous benefit of working with Kai is that I healed my religious trauma & was able to integrate the residuals of my old beliefs into my new personal cosmology/spiritual framework. Later on, Kai DID help me free the rest of my voice, as I'd intended in that first session. In terms of musical artistry & sound healing, as well as my ability & readiness to express truths that need to be heard. Those very deep wounds around my music & voice have now blossomed into my some of my richest personal medicines & joys! My music & my voice is now part of my life's work. Whenever I have a question that needs tender asking & a clear response, I go to Kai. She & her team of spirit helpers guided me through & beyond my father's death, through the biggest relationship shifts of my life, questions about my purpose & career, & the most powerful intentions to set for my personal work. One of my favorite parts of our work together is how I can bring any question or aspect of life to her & it is then integrated organically into my spiritual inquiry in useful ways. Despite the pouring of my heart into this review, I feel it does not reflect a fraction of my gratitude or what Kai is capable of offering to you. My hope is that you reach out to her & see for yourself all that is possible.

I had my first Reiki Healing Session with Biofeedback and LED with Saba…read moreyesterday and I could not be more grateful that I chose this place for the first time embarking on this journey. I rarely take the time to write a review, but I feel compelled to write a review about Saba and her practice. I had the most incredible experience here and probably one of the best services I have ever received in my life, surely #1 for my soul. I feel truly grateful and thankful for meeting Saba and lucky to have met her when I did. She is a gifted healer with a pure heart and a beautiful soul who I 100% trust for Reiki (super important who you go to!) as well as each and every service she provides - not only is the LED super healing, but the Biofeedback itself blew my mind, not only can I attest to how accurate the report is (have no idea how it knew what it did!) and nothing simple, it is a thorough ~17 page report (maybe a few more pages even, depends on you/your wellness) which they very conveniently send to your email straight away and is beautifully pictured and easy to understand (not just like vitals at a DR. office where things are just listed and seem overwhelming and a mountain of research, although this is not to discredit going to your doctors' appointments all, not substituting/endorsing anything like that, they are totally differentiated in my mind so, please go for sure!! I just wanted to set the imagery of the report) But, in any case, that Biofeedback report was so insightful (I didn't even know how it knew the things it did and it's not just typical things you expect but literally so many lifestyle things, like sleep, for example (yes, 3-4 hours a night is bad I know; but it will call you out on it, the report flags all these issues, flags what's more severe than X thing and Y thing; through clear indicator bars so you ='re not sitting there confused, and with recommendations included, it was like magic and provided invaluable information, and more than that its topped with Saba's guidance and advice as she reviews your results before healing - she cares from the bottom of her heart and she wants to help you like you're one of her own (daughter, best friend, family, childhood fried, anything). I could just feel it. After she walks through the results with you (providing even more support and advice which I had to write down notes on after because they were so good!) She will then use these results along with her own powerful healing and intuitive abilities to begin your Reiki session. Which was nothing short than amazing; nothing like something I've experienced; I know from the bottom of my heart something changed. It's like a new engine that jumpstarted in a way, I can not even describe it; but I know this is the first step to something very very good. (Like they say Rome wasn't built in a day, you own't be a whole new identity the next day but you will *not* be the same, and everyday you are going to transform through the guidance given, advice, biofeedback recommendations; keeping in mind certain things. I am honestly returning because I want to give myself this chance and I have great faith and, you know, sometimes things change faster than you think . And that move might be the one. In all, Saba is a gifted healer with a beautiful soul and I would highly recommend this place to anyone I know. Moreover, very professional. The front desk is easy to reach, Saba was not one second late (in fact, I waited 0 mins; I arrived 2-3 mins early, asked to use the restroom, was lovely, by the time I was ready, the clock ticked to the exact hour/time when my appointment was scheduled, and Saba was right there and ready for me), plus the undivided attention and time provided - which is rare to find these days! Your session is not "just another session", it's not a transaction like with so many places these days - your session is actually valued; and your healing is treasured and you are in good good hands. I wish you all the best in your journeys and hope this may help someone/anywhere out there who might benefit from this review and more-so from experiencing this healing itself; much love and light to all and my many thanks to Saba.

I'm a 55 year-old female who gets regular massages for the over-50 aches and pains. She asked me if I had any areas of concern and then got down to it. She has a lot of confidence and used quick, medium + pressure strokes. It felt like a massage and a half. About 5 min in, she asked if the pressure was ok. I said it was good but that in a couple of places it was intense. She encouraged me to breathe through those wince-y areas. I'm sure she felt tight fascia when she felt through the sheet at the massage's onset. She spent quality time on my forearms, wrists and hands which I appreciated. She did my feet excellently.

As someone who knows a LOT about massage therapy and human anatomy, I would rate my experience here…read more"okay", but there were certain dealbreakers that would make me never come back again. I am hoping my review can help them improve and get better. Pros: 1) Rooms and sheets are clean and hygienic. 2) My calves are feeling looser. Cons: 1) The two massage therapists did not introduce themselves to me or my partner, and did not even know our names. In the massage therapy field, this is poor professionalism. 2) They did not perform any intake or interview. They wanted to start working without inquiring about what we wanted to focus on, and completely ignored asking about our health or injury history. This type of negligence not only worsens the quality of a massage session, but also increases the risk of injury. I had to stop my massage therapist from starting so that I can explain my needs. When both my partner and I specified what areas we wanted to work on, both therapists seemed confused. 3) Major dealbreaker: My massage therapist brushed against my genitals maybe 4-5 times. I knew it was not sexual in any way, however, this is a mistake that should NEVER happen during a massage performed by any therapist licensed in New York State. The draping around my genitals was also poor; the draping came off easily and made it easy for her to brush her hand against my underwear between my thighs. 4) I requested a Deep Tissue massage. Instead, I received what I would describe a Swedish style massage with quick movements but with more depth. In contrast, Deep Tissue is supposed to be slow and deep. 5) My massage therapist did not have a good understanding of anatomy, which made me wonder if she was licensed. In NY state, a solid foundation in muscle anatomy is a MUST for licensure. For example, I requested work on my piriformis while lying face down, and she said that we will work on it when I am face up. The problem? The piriformis is a muscle in your buttock. You can only work on it when a client is face down. After I pointed to my piriformis, she then proceeded to work on my hip/buttock area in random spots, completely missing my piriformis muscle. For any massage therapist, this is a VERY important muscle to know, as it contributes to a lot of back pain and can also cause sciatica. I am surprised that a massage therapist at an establishment that also does physical therapy had no idea how to find or release this muscle. 6) Twice, my massage therapist tried to work on a ligament, and both times I had to stop her. For those who don't know: Massaging ligaments is dangerous, as it can stretch out the ligaments and cause joint instability. You should only have your muscles and tendons massaged, NOT ligaments. My partner also received a stretch that was dangerous for his shoulder. Overall, I would not recommend this place. There are so many more qualified massage therapists in NYC!

I've done Reiki a couple of times before but never felt a huge difference. With Deborah, it was different. During the session, Deborah asked questions to understand my needs and concerns. She was positive and warm, and made me feel very comfortable. She also introduced me to flower essences, which I hadn't heard of prior. During the healing session, I yawned a lot (like I was releasing a lot of repressed energy!). Afterwards, I felt relaxed - it was clear that the session truly worked although it wasn't done in person, which I was a little nervous about at first. Deborah also quickly followed up after our session with additional information and promptly responded to a follow up question I had about flower essences. It's been four days since our session, and my chronic neck pain that I've had for 10 weeks is significantly better - in a way my chiropractor couldn't help. I'm really glad I made the investment in my healing session with Deborah and now understand why she has so many positive, genuine reviews (she's not compensating us or giving us discounts to write these, like some businesses do!).
