I wasn't sure what to expect coming in, but kept an open mind. The room was beautiful with so much to see, which made me feel at ease even before the session started. Marcus was very attentive and had a very calm demeanor. The 60 min session itself was relaxing and something I had never experienced. After the session I felt lighter, at peace, and my thoughts seemed clearer. I hadn't felt like that in a while. So very thankful for the session; I would definitely recommend and plan to come in again in the future. read more

Most noticeable change has been a decrease in social anxiety and less self consciousness about how my body looks. Interesting results I wasn't expecting. Thank you! read more

I am so amazed at my experience .. I waited two years to get this done because I just felt it was never the right time. But I got very serious with my healing journey and this was much needed. My heart truly feels whole again. The space is amazing as soon as you walk in , it's just a complete calm aura. I felt so comfortable throughout the whole process and released a lot I had been holding in. read more

I went to see Marcus and did reiki in his backyard. Everything is great. Marcus is kind, patient, very good vibe, and very communicative. The reiki was so great I got my BF to see him. Also got to see his amazing dog in the end. It's a great experience, I felt so much lighter afterwards, I noticed, my bf noticed as well. I plan to go every month or so, loved the session, the backyard setting! read more

Amazing experience and serene location. Marcus provided a peaceful environment to help with some emotional release that will give me the ability to move forward and stay well. His outside treatment is under a beautiful Oak tree in a lovely private garden. Thank you Marcus for all your words and healing. read more

Marcus is awesome! I was really nervous the day of our session but he made the experience so welcoming. He was extremely patient and kind as well as actually curious about my personal experiences. During our session I felt peace and waves of warm vibration in my chest and ribs. Later that day I got an extremely stressful phone call but I wasn't bothered much and since my anxiety has gone way down. I would highly recommend him to anyone who feels like theyre ready to receive some help letting go of old baggage! read more

Wow! That is pretty much all I can say... First of all entering Marcus's healing room is one of the most magical experiences ever, it seems like he has nearly a thousand crystals in there. I really liked how professional the appointment started and he went over the main concerns that I wanted to work on and then signing a consent form. Two recent deaths and a severe concussion was at the top of my list. Marcus said he has very good results with grief treatments so I was confident I came to the right place. We concentrated on clearing the heart chakra mostly - a lot of tears were shed. Then we worked on the head area crown chakra his hands were almost hot as I felt the healing. After the healing I felt lighter and more grounded. Marcus definitely has healing hands! Happy I found out about this amazing healer, will be back for sure. :) read more

Reiki and energy healing sessions with Marcus have been instrumental to my overall health. I've done Reiki and other forms of energy healing with Marcus, and after each session I walk out feeling lighter, more rejuvenated, and joyful. He has given me Reiki on my shoulder and abdominal pains, as well as deep emotional release when I was going through a very rough time in my life. Marcus is genuine, understanding, patient, and extremely knowledgeable in his art and practice. He has a wonderful way of calming you down and making you feel at ease. I've had Reiki and energy sessions before, but none comes close to what Marcus offers his clients. If you're searching for an authentic, fantastic energy healer in the Bay Area, give Marcus a call! read more

I really enjoyed the reiki treatment by Marcus. He did clearing of old energy over my chakra's . He sensed the blockage accurately and with his focused presence I felt great relief. The work he's done helped to strengthen and support the person I am today. His office decor is deco masculine set in a lovely Victorian building with convenient parking in the back. I encourage you to experience his work and healing energy. read more

Thanks Gerard for your awesome healing. Coming in I didn't know what to expect. Gerard walked me through and asked some questions. I went in feeling a bit nervous but the great space that he is in made that all go away. Not to mention he helped me release lots of past anger and sadness. I would recommend anyone that needs mental clarity to call him immediately. read more

My experience with Marcus was phenomenal. I have suffered with chronic sciatic pain for almost 5 years now and after one session I felt a great shift in my body and significant pain relief. The experience was unlike any energy/bodywork I have received, lasting change. His healing garden space where I received my Reiki session, was enchanting. I highly recommend Reiki for Inner Peace. Thank you so much Marcus! read more

I was already familiar with Reiki and felt like I was due for a session... The past 8 months had been full for me: running 2 businesses, attending networking events, spending time with family & significant other plus trying to maintain a social life... My intention was to clear my mind. For months I'd been browsing yelp and google to find the right person. I saw Marcus' picture and was drawn to his authentic smile and calming demeanor. I had a gut feeling that I should schedule a Reiki session immediately, so I sent him an email. The results of my session was feeling more calm, focused, less scattered and present from day to day. It was a powerful experience and I loved the fact that Marcus and I talked about my experience after it was complete. I highly recommend his service! I'll definitely return. read more

Marcus emanates a very gentle and calming demeanor that quickly puts you at ease. I had my first Reiki session with him before the holidays in an effort to remain grounded and resolute maintaining personal boundaries within a particular relationship. I left the session feeling a powerful sense of inner calm. My resolve was put to to the test in the New Year yet I remained steadfast and strong! I highly recommend anyone contemplating energy healing to meet with Marcus - you will be pleased and impressed with the results. SC read more

The day I made the decision to call to make an appointment at Reiki for Inner peace. I felt sure that Marcus Sapere would align my chakras and I also felt sure that he would help me with my physical and emotional problem, I had somatized the feeling of being abandoned in a strong and constant pain in my abdomen. Sincerely, I did not believe that he was going to heal me from one moment to another. In that I was skeptical, however I decided to start to heal my spirit and heart rather than taking medicine or getting a surgery to cure my abdominal pain. I was skeptical that he would take my pain away from one moment to the next but I was sure that by changing my energy it would slowly begin to heal. When my healing session ended, on April 24, 2021 I felt absolutely weird, when I got to my car to go home I couldn't believe what I was feeling. I no longer had any pain, and when I thought about my work or what is next to do in my busy schedule, I did not feel the pain again, I did not feel the stress again and since that day I have not felt that abdominal pain. My life has changed drastically because from that day until today I feel light, positive, I feel very beautiful and above all self-confident, I feel as if the energy aligned physically, mentally and spiritually. Until today, I am doing a review because I wanted to see if the pain returned and give you a truer testimony of what my session was and especially if it is worth investing money in reiki healing. The best soul healer. read more

After years of hearing about the healing power or Reiki, I decided to finally give it a try. Between the stresses of work, some chronic injuries, and general "brain fog", I figured now would be as good a time as any to give it a go. Before I delve into my experience with the session, first - let me tell you about his office! Marcus has an amazing collection of rocks and curios which, combined with the soft lighting, rich aromas, soothing music, and the historic building, create an amazing sense of depth and universality. Before we began, Marcus and I sat down to discuss what I wanted from the session. This allowed me to get in the right frame of mind for what I consider to be something like a psychic journey! As for the session, it's a little difficult to describe the experience. Basically you lay on the table (I closed my eyes) and relax. It only felt like 10 minutes or so, but in that time I felt like I went on a mental journey - allowed myself to step back from the day-today world, and put the universe in perspective. When the session was over (turns out that 10 mins was an hour!), I had this amazing sense of relaxation, calm, and focus I have not felt in quite some time. As I left, the world was buzzing and vibrant. I noticed the fresh air and the trees - and in particular I noticed this rock on my way back to the car. Not to sound too cheesy but I swear it was glowing. A few days later I wound up having an early job nearby his office and, as I was walking to work, I saw that rock again. When I noticed it, that same sense of calm came over me, and I went in to work rejuvenated, energized, mindful and crystal clear! read more

I have not had experience with Reiki prior to my session with Marcus. Going into it, I was not attached to any particular outcome, hoping, however, to find some emotional release from a long childhood trauma, that has been a heavy sad elephant in my room for at least fifteen years. Marcus' work felt very gentle and kind. I was comfortable sharing my ever neglected pain, Marcus truly listened and together we worked out the focus of healing. Not sure what and how and why (and happy to say, I don't need to know!), but since our session, the very next day I woke up lighter, unburdened, and have been feeling in the flow for the last couple of months. Thank you so much! I believe wholeheartedly in mind-body connection, have working understanding of Chakra system, a bit of knowledge of the Chinese meridians approach, and at the same time, I think of myself as a skeptic and try to "keep it real". read more

Gerald you're extremely appreciated. But how does one get over your soul mate being ripped from you not once but twice in a life time. I appreciate you for being there and letting me come. But I'm going to go cry again! read more

I loved my experience at Reiki for Inner Peace with Marcus Sapere. I felt a calming affect as soon as I entered the room. Marcus has a gentle soul and puts you at ease immediately. My body was in such a deep state of relaxation and I felt this overall state of well being throughout the session and afterwards. Marcus' voice is peaceful and made me feel reassured and at peace. I highly recommend Reiki for Inner Peace! read more

My first reiki session ever was with Marcus recently. I was not familiar with this practice and honestly a bit skeptical. What I experienced however, the calmness, clarity, and general sense of well-being that I had not felt in a long time made me a believer in this form energy healing and I greatly look forward to future sessions! read more

I recently saw Marcus for grief work. I lost my husband, mother and several friends in rapid succession several years ago and didn't do any grief work at the time resulting in a very unhappy result. I have tried other methods of dealing with these losses with slow results. One session with Marcus greatly relieved my symptoms and I am much happier for the experience. I will forever feel these losses but my emotions regarding them no longer feel debilitating. Marcus is very experienced and good at what he does and I highly recommend him for these types of issues. read more

Me and my husband went in for a reiki session. It was amazing. It really did not seem as long as it was. I feel much more calm and collected after it. It somehow started seeming like the universe is on my side. Definitely feeling a lot more positive after it. My husband felt the effect for a long time after the session as well in his lowest chakra. Its very hard to quantify, measure and prove such things. I know that being an engineer. But I would say go for it if you feel like it. If nothing else, it will be a different experience. read more

I met Marcus a little over a few weeks ago. He is my second reiki healer who I had the privilege to have met. The atmosphere was very clean and full of interesting yet beautiful crystals. In the beginning of the session Marcus asked what I would like to work on and we did a brief history intake. The healing table he uses is very state of the art. It has music (singing bowls) that somehow are connected to the reiki healing table. There are different frequencies that I was probably not able to hear but my body could feel. There are no fancy bells or whistles but when he did the hand placement starting from my shoulders to my third eye and then to the rest of the seven chakras I was able to feel a coolness flow through my body. One of the issues I have battled with is pain down from my neck to my left arm and as I was laying down my left arm jerked outward from the side of my body on its own. As if the reiki energy was doing something to it for sure. I don't know much about reiki and how it works but I am a firm believer of its healing power. We also worked on past emotions that I did not realize I still carried with me (my brother and sister both passed away) when he asked me to find the grief within myself I was immediately overwhelmed by intense emotion and sadness. I truly felt the release leave my body as we worked on that. I felt a sense of intense sadness followed by a sense of calmness and relief. Marcus is very professional and I highly recommend him. read more

Reiki For Inner Peace - These are my personal beautiful stones I purchased soon after meeting Marcus. - Counseling & Mental Health Near Me - Alameda, California

I was given my first Reiki session with Marcus as a gift from my yoga instructor shortly after I was diagnosed with cancer and needed to have surgery. Because of my state of mind and the fear surrounding my diagnosis I accepted the gift. I have since had several Reiki sessions with Marcus to help deal with not only the emotional and psychological effects of such a crisis, but also the post surgery and recovery process. I encountered complications during the surgery, which added to my stress level. Hence, the entire ordeal triggered my chronic anxiety problems. I was searching for healing on many levels. During my sessions I often have amazing and powerful visions and then later receive significant insights into my life process and challenges, and as a result have experienced an inner peace I never dreamed imaginable. As far as my physical condition goes, after 3 months I am doing very well (feeling healthier than ever!) and have a calm and positive attitude about life. I believe that regular Reiki sessions have helped expedite my healing process! Marcus' gentle, compassionate and healing energy is unmatched with any other form of healing massage or therapy I have tried and I highly recommend you give it a try! KC read more

Since I had never experienced reiki before going to visit Marcus upon a recommendation, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. Within minutes, I felt at ease and a deep connection with his work. He was patient and thorough in explaining to me what reiki was and how he was going to use it to help me specifically. At first, it was much like stepping away from a deep meditation session - peaceful with a noticeable vibrational shift. But after several days is when I really started to notice the work he'd done taking hold. The issue that had be haunting me on and off for several years was simply "gone". Even though I have still thought about it, Marcus helped me remove the anxiety that had been surrounding it for so long. He was professional, thorough, intentional, and extremely thoughtful and compassionate to what was happening with me. He is as kind and gifted soul that I would recommended to anyone needing energetic healing. Thank you! read more

In November 2015, when I learned I was suffering from spinal stenosis and would need neck surgery (cervical laminectomy for c5 and c6 and fusion from c3-c7), I was a little freaked out to say the least. A good friend of mine suggested we try Reiki before the surgery as a way to prepare for the physical trauma and perhaps support the post op healing. We saw Marcus 2 days before the surgery which I'm sure alleviated any anxiety I might have experienced. I was pretty calm before the surgery, which was very successful. The recovery, however was much more difficult than I was prepared for. Since then, I've incorporated pilates and chiropractic care for the physical, but feel Reiki supported the emotional healing and allowed a continued sense of calm and patience to keep moving forward with my recovery. It is 9 months later and I'm doing great! Thanks Marcus! read more

I had my first "in person" reiki session with Marcus last week and am thrilled! Marcus is a kind, open soul who is clearly very passionate about what he does, and in turn, he does it well. I have already recommended him to friends and will continue to do so. read more

I've seen Marcus over the years for many things. I used to have chronic lower back pain and he eliminated it. A few years ago I had a painful grape sized lump on my left breast.Marcus was able to eliminate the pain in 30 minutes so I could continue to work and then the lump shrank and disappeared over the next 3 weeks after my session with him. I used to lose my balance and fall regularly. It was becoming frightening. I fell backward off of someone's back porch into their yard. I tripped on the stairs at someone's home and fell. My head came to within less than an inch of a metal table with sharp corners. I was falling more often. I told Marcus and he worked on this for me. Years later I no longer lose my balance or fall regularly. Thanks to Marcus. read more

I am new to energy healing / reiki and was not sure what to expect. I really had a great session with Marcus. He really helped heal me of some trauma associated to a car accident and I honestly felt his energy as being so pure and healing! I could definitely see that it would be helpful to go regularly for some issues and maybe on and off for others. I wish it were a tad bit more affordable, but I highly recommend Marcus and will go again! I absolutely loved his space, the table and his CRYSTALS! read more

I was already struggling with health issues when my mom died unexpectedly in 2010. Her death and the events surrounding it were so traumatic that I basically "broke." My doctors could find nothing; the meds they gave me were ineffective and created even more problems. I hit bottom 2 years ago (IBS, panic attacks, systemic inflammation, and stabbing needle pain throughout my body). I didn't want to live anymore, but death wasn't an option, so I stepped into the world of "alternative medicine." I found a top osteo-acupuncturist who also works with nutrition and herbs. Despite initial improvements, progress soon slowed; 1.5 yrs into our work, my practitioner told me that nothing more would change until I released the stuck energy of the traumas that had made me sick. She suggested yoga, meditation and Reiki. Results with Yoga and meditation were limited, so I moved forward with Reiki. And THAT'S when my life began changing. There was so much improvement, and it came so quickly, my acupuncturist told me to focus on Reiki. During a recent consult, she was BLOWN AWAY by my progress. Hope and health are priceless... thank you Marcus! read more

I had been diagnosed by a sports medicine physician with calcific tendonitis. I had extreme pain and a frozen shoulder; I could not lift my arm forward or to the side more than 6 inches. The pain radiated down my arm into my fingers. In the x-ray, there were massive amounts of calcium deposits on the tendon in my shoulder (to the point of the doctor saying he had never seen anything quite like it). He gave me a cortisone shot and said come back in 3 weeks. When I wasn't feeling any better, two days later, I called Marcus. With an in person treatment and subsequent remote treatments that night and the next day, I had nearly full movement and dramatically reduced pain two days later. This "miraculous recovery" could have been because of a combination of a multitude of things I was doing, including Epsom Salt soaks, reduced calcium intake, chelated magnesium, visualizations and the cortisone, but I found it particularly interesting that I felt so much better so quickly after seeing Marcus for a Reiki session. The mind and spirit are powerful healers. Marcus has an impressive grasp of both. read more
