This review is only in regards to the medium service performed by Cheri Roof and not for any of the other services at this organization, to which I have not experienced. I was hesitant in writing this, but I think it is important that my experience be shared in the hopes that it does not happen to others.
I lost someone very close to me recently, someone who I believe has sent me messages to let me know they are OK. I thought I would try to see if I could find a way to verbally reach them and I found a medium at the Reiki center. The center is very nice and the staff are very friendly. Cheri seemed very friendly and open and led me and my boyfriend to a quiet room with the lights dimmed, sage burning and calm music playing. While I have been down lately I was very positive about this visit and in fact looking forward to it (this will be relevant toward the end). Cheri noted before she started that because my boyfriend was there he may get messages/it may be a disturbance. She spoke of many folks with a range of ages and ailments to which reached out to her- none of which were relevant to me or my boyfriend. She started to become quite agitated with me that I had to keep telling her no it wasn't relevant. She also was agitated that I did not express social cues to her during the process, which I did on purpose. Someone with a real gift shouldn't need that to speak to a spirit. She finally asked me who I wanted to speak to and I gave her a name. She took a few tries at age, ailment, and relationship all which were incorrect. She finally asked the person's relationship to me and I told her. She then stated abruptly that the person said I was angry at them and was backing away, that my boyfriend was a disturbance and that I was a negative person who needed Reiki treatment follow-up that she could do. She just cut it short like that, and the room filled with angry and negative energy- not from me but from her.
The person I wished to speak with was someone I very much love and to whom I have not an angry bone in my body (also who goes to a medium to pay to speak to someone they are angry with?). The negativeness was not from me, as I said this was the first time I had felt very positive in a long time. She was kind enough to charge me a fraction of the service, but the experience was pretty horrible, and it is a horrible thing to try and blame someone who comes seeking spiritual guidance for your lack of ability and then try to sell them on more services. Perhaps she just had a really really bad day, but I thought it would be fair to give folks a head's up on this experience.
Also, if anyone happens to know someone with whom they have had success elsewhere, I would love to hear about it.
