I went to Cottonwood this June for one of Julie's classes, and I'm so glad I did. The day before class, I also had a session with her, and I left feeling empowered and truly seen. Julie is such a gift. She's incredibly knowledgeable, but also down-to-earth and relatable. She listens, she learns from her students, and that makes her an even better teacher. She's been so supportive, even answering my emails with positivity and encouragement. When she lived in California she was closer, but honestly, I'd travel to Cottonwood again in a heartbeat after realizing what I had been missing. In fact, I will--next summer. Julie won't be able to get rid of me now! read more

I came here to learn reiki I and II and it's been an amazing experience. Julie's presence is very calming. She has some of the best stories. The class was very supportive. I'm excited for my reiki healing journey. I recommend taking to her class. read more

I received the Holy Fire III Reiki Master attunement from Julie at the beginning of this year, and it was an incredible experience. Julie's warm, inviting energy, and her engaging, storytelling style of teaching made this by far the best reiki course I have taken. I really enjoyed being in person and having hands on practice, as I had not experienced that in my previous virtual reiki attunements. I would love to work with Julie again in the future, and would highly recommend her to anyone! read more

I initially got certified with Julie in March of 2021 as a Reiki practitioner. I completed another training this past weekend as a refresher and to get another perspective now that I've learned other healing modalities. It was an easy weekend class to take and very informative. She is an excellent teacher that's kind, patient and clear. The space is inviting and serene. I highly recommend her. The experience is transformational and a wonderful tool to have for healing yourself and others. read more

I had the privilege of taking Holy Fire Reiki I, II, & Master classes with Julie. Julie is an excellent Reiki teacher. She made me feel so comfortable, safe, heard, and seen during the Reiki classes.

Thank you for being a beacon of light Julie. read more

Reiki Verde Valley - Thank so much for the amazing Purifying ‍ ‍ ‍ - Reiki Near Me - Cottonwood, Arizona

I have taken two Reiki courses with Julie, and she is just amazing. They were both such wonderful and enlightening experiences. Each time I went, it was as if synchronicity had led me to sign up, and I was meant to meet the attendees in each course. I look forward to furthering my Reiki training with another course with Julie in the future. If you feel you're being pulled for some reason to Reiki, I highly recommend listening to that inner voice. read more

I was drawn to Julie when I was searching for someone I felt I could trust going to for Reiki. I am a RN too and found it comforting to know she was in the medical profession like me. This was the first time I ever had Reiki. Julie was amazing. She knew things about me that I didn't tell her about. She was able to determine I had certain issues. She is such a kind and caring person. After my amazing session, I decided I wanted to learn Reiki from Julie. I went to the Reiki I/II class at Julie's house. I was so blessed to have a group of wonderful open and accepting students with me. I learned a lot from Julie and recommend her as a Reiki instructor/Master. I am planning on returning next year for the Master class. read more

I had the pleasure of being certified by Julie for Holy Fire Reiki I & II, and I highly recommend her courses and services. She is a wonderful teacher and person to get to know. Her energy is warm and full of light. Thank you Julie for everything! read more

Julie is AMAZING! So blessed to have met her when she was in Orange County . I took the Holy Fire classes from her and she is by far the best. Very informative, hands on, and easy to understand. During the guided meditation she used a variety of things like drums and rain making devices. So sad to see you go, but so excited to see you grow! She is the real deal..., she is 100% authentic and you have found your Reiki Teacher/ Reiki Master. PS she is a retired Registered Nurse. Love that her whole life has been involved in a healing people. read more

Julie is truly an amazing teacher and mentor as others before me have written here. She's loving, humble, warm, kind, and eager to share her wisdom and light selflessly and passionately. It was when I was not able to pull myself together emotionally, I found her on yelp and read others' reviews, and decided to give it a try. So, I took her Holy fire Reiki I & II class a few weeks ago. I learned so much from her and have emotionally transformed. I also met amazing people in my class too. I wanted to learn more after that. So, I took her Quantum Healing Hypnosis session. During the 4-5 hours. I was so blessed to have had the chance to talk to her about my life and experienced the divine miraculous healings. It's been a week now and every day I still feel the effect within me, and I feel love all the time. Thank you, Julie. read more

I had an amazing Reki experience with Julie. I attended her Reki I/II training and it was more than I could imagine. The group was small (4) of us, and there was plenty of time to practice our new healing and get our questions answered. Bring comfortable clothes, a blanket and get ready to get attuned to your higher self. I can't wait to take more classes and continue to grow this amazing gift. read more

Julie is beyond amazing! I took her Reiki 1 and 2 class and I cannot thank her enough for sharing this knowledge with me. Not only is she a great educator, she's very warm, compassionate, loving and kind. I have never felt so at peace and at home with a group of people as I did taking this course. I was given so many tools to now take out into the world on my journey. The great thing is, Julie has a lot of credentials and there so much to learn from this beautiful person. I will be taking everything she teaches! In fact, I'm going to see her in 2 weeks for past life regression therapy. You will not regret going to her for anything you need! I feel blessed to have found her! read more

I remember when I first found Julie, I was going through so much at the time and had just gone through surgery. It was back in 2014 when i first learned about Reiki through Julie and she helped me so much. Later on I took Reiki I and II which also helped me on my healing journey. For me, Julie saved my life... she did so much for me and was truly there for mw in my healing journey. She introduced me to my doula when I conceived and that there was the biggest gift I could ever receive. I owe so much to Julie and I have so much gratitude for her in my heart... Meeting her changed my life. Julie Russell is much more than a healer and a reiki teacher... she's a true, trustworthy angel on this planet earth. read more

If I could give Julie a 100 star review, I would. It's hard to put the experience you have with Julie into words that adequately describe it. I've been dealing with Reiki energy for the past 21 years and have been a Reiki Master since 2004. In October of 2021 I went down to complete some certification requirements I needed with Julie. I was so blown away by the experience I had, that I decided I wanted to upgrade some of my Master level course knowledge and attunements with her as well now that I'm launching my healing practice into a full time venture. Weather your new to Reiki or at a Master level, taking courses with Julie is a phenomenal gift to receive. The combination of her vast knowledge, her expertise, her unending generosity, and her huge heart make it an experience that shouldn't be missed. I recently took her Karuna Holy Fire class as an upgrade to my certification. I was in a class with five other Usui Reiki Masters. During the training, many of us reported receiving healings on many levels just by being in the Holy Fire energy that is channeled by Julie during every class she teaches. I've experienced many teachers over my decades of studying. Julie is by far the most generous teacher that I've ever encountered. I can't recommend her more highly to you. I will continue to study with her as often as I can due to the profound blessings that are received in those rich moments. Thank you Julie!!!! read more

Julie is amazing I'm so thankful that I found her class...she's so patient and knows a lot of information. She also has different techniques and forms of reiki I'm forever grateful for her. I can't wait to take her other courses read more

I was initially drawn to Julie for my Past Life Regression session. My session took place in her Laguna Hills office. That was an amazing and helpful experience! I learned so much from my past life that will directly help my on my journey in this life. I immediately asked Julie what more I could do to apply these lessons? She suggested I take her Reiki Holy Fire I & II class. I knew nothing about Reiki, but did know that by now, I had complete trust in Julie. I signed up and attended her class this past weekend - in her home. It was a beautiful, peaceful, spiritual setting with a total of 7 students. I felt the love the minute I entered her space. The intimate small group gave Julie the ability to give personal attention to each and everyone of us. She guided the class at a perfect pace. Never feeling rushed, we covered every aspect of Reiki needed to complete certification. We all felt safe and connected and we bonded immediately. Julie interjected stories and examples to her teachings, like adding spice to a cooking recipe. She kept our undivided attention. We were able to actually practice Reiki on each other several times, aiding in our confidence to "fly once we left the nest". Julie made the class so meaningful and fun that I'm signing up for more Julie - and classes, LOL. read more

I worked with Julie a few years ago to add Karuna/Holy Fire reiki to my practice. I took a 3day training and it was incredible! I live in North County San Diego so I don't see get to Reiki Orange County for regular meetups but I wish I could. I'm also looking forward to one day doing the regression sessions she does. read more

I love Julie. She is an Amazing Teacher and very knowledgeable. Her passion shows in everything she does.

I had just completed Holy Fire Reiki I & II this weekend with Julie. She's great host & teacher that provides a safe space for each student and entire class. I was guided to a wonderful and light hearted instructor to be part of my spiritual journey. Look forward to seeing Julie again in the coming months. read more

OMG - Julie Russell's Reiki classes this last weekend were life changing. I got answers to questions I had and even ones I didn't know I had! LOL. She taught us how to go deeper and how to ask for and accept help from the universe - which is life healing. I will never be the same person and I will work on the principles taught to be a more clear vessel for light from heaven, best I can. I can't wait to take the master's class in 6 months. Thank you Julie (and the universe) for the work you do - much gratitude! Truly inspirational! read more

I wish I could leave a review for each of the classes I have taken from Julie. I have now taken five. She is incredibly knowledgeable and each class has detailed manuals. She is open with her knowledge, and shares from the experience she has amassed in her 16 years of experience. I feel Julie is more of a mentor, her support doesn't end when you leave her classroom. She answers any questions or concerns you may have long after your class ends. She even gives helpful advice about starting your own Reiki business. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and compassion Julie. I look forward to learning more from you in the future!!! read more

Julie is a very talented Reiki healer and instructor . I am so happy to have found Julie. I have taken most of my classes with Julie. Julie creates a beautiful safe space to learn and heal. I highly recommend her. read more

I can't say enough about Julie. She is an amazing Reiki master and an incredible Reiki teacher. I have been seeing Julie for treatments for almost 10 years. I first started seeing her when I was having some anxiety issues due to work related issues. After one session with her, my anxiety had significantly decreased and I felt much more grounded. After this first session, I fell in love with Reiki. I signed up for Julie's Reiki I & II class and before I knew it I had signed up for all of her other classes too. If you haven't tried Reiki yet, I would highly recommend receiving a session with Julie. read more

I first came to Julie when I was seeking to experience a Past Life Regression session as I had read about its potential benefits. I'm a mental health professional who had run out of options when dealing with a very deep state of depression. I couldn't and still really can't believe that one session took care of my depression. I decided to go back for one more session because of some emotional conflict that I had been dealing with for quite some time and AGAIN it was like magic. During these sessions Julie combined Reiki with Hypnosis and experiencing the Reiki energy was so powerful to me that I became convinced of getting trained. I just completed the Usui/Holy Fire III Reiki I & II and had such a profound experience. To say that working with Julie has been life changing would fall short of the reality. It has been revolutionary on many levels; mind, body, spirit, soul and more! These changes in me have definitely been impacting my work as a therapist and my clients are noticing and not holding back in talking about it. I've had clients say, "There's something about you, I just can't put my finger on it." I LOVE my profession and working with the people I do and believe that investing in myself is not just for my benefit, but also for those that work with me. If you are considering working with Julie, don't wait too long, do yourself a favor you won't regret! read more

She is a great teacher, listener and would definitely recommend her if your interested in taking a course in reiki.

I just had the pleasure of completing my first level Reiki training with Julie. It was an incredibly powerful weekend to say the least! It hardly felt like I was in taking a "class", since the learning piece was so beautifully integrated into the storytelling. Julie was kind, patient, inspiring, and really made me believe that I too have the power of Reiki healing. She conducted healing experiences that nearly put us all under a state of hypnosis. I came out of the weekend feeling empowered and attuned to a greater energy. The next night, I practiced Reiki on my husband and he was blown away by the energy he felt. This stuff works! Thank you Julie for all that you do. And thank you for introducing me to Reiki! read more

After taking reiki I/I with Julie, so much in life changed. I'm so grateful my reiki journey led me back to taking the Master training with her as well!

Julie was my Reiki teacher for levels I & II as well as the holy fire III master class. I am so glad that I found her! Julie is compassionate, generous, thoughtful and intelligent. She is also one of the few Reiki teachers that completed the ICRT's rigorous licensing process. For Julie, teaching is not a job, it is a calling. I found myself completing her classes with a thorough understanding of the Reiki energy and a renewed sense of purpose. She holds space for each and every one of her students. Julie will make you feel comfortable with her warm demeanor and hospitality. I highly recommend learning from her if you are interested in Reiki or booking a healing session. read more
