Before Denisse facilitated a reiki session for me, I was feeling stressed, overwhelmed and anxious. I recently started a new job and so far it's been a rollercoaster of emotions; I knew my energy wasn't moving well throughout my body. I received distance bedtime reiki with my boyfriend and as we settled into bed she let us know when she was beginning. I immediately went into a relaxed state and dozed off to sleep. My body, mind and soul definitely needed this! Upon waking, I felt lighter and refreshed. I followed up with Denisse in the morning and she shared what came through for her while she facilitated the session - She couldn't be more spot on to what I was facing internally. As a fellow reiki practitioner, healers need healers! Book a session with Denisse, you'll be so grateful that you did. read more

Reiki has been a true key to unlock healing for me! Denisse has been amazing and supportive, she truly is a shining light! It is very clear that Denisse's passion to help people is the soul purpose of her business! I am grateful to have met her and truly grateful for the reiki services she is providing to the community! read more

Since I started going to Denise I have learned to balance my energies, learn to love myself. When I go see her ot is a me day. I go to Alameda beach after my healing to reconnect with nature and the universe. She makes me feel so relaxed and comfortable. I love the session before the healing talking about issues and what I need to get rid of to balance my energies. I would highly reconciliation Denise to anyone looking for a top notch healer. Love you read more

I have been working with Denisse for about 2 years now and when I look back from when I first started, I was a different person. I have had reiki sessions, PLR Ceremony, and a couple of tarot card readings with her. She has been amazing and supported me through a lot these past years such as grief, break up, career changes, and many more. She helped me understand what is no longer serving me anymore and to let go of certain things and people. After each session with Denisse, it feels like a big relief because we were able to talk and she would validate my feelings and then the reiki helps me relieve a lot of pent up energy in certain chakras. Denisse is super dedicated to providing support to each of her clients and she will make sure you are feeling supported after your sessions! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone seeking to heal :) read more

Not only is Denisse amazing, she has this ability to genuinely be face to face with my own troubles and allows me to breathe life into myself again. Reiki has helped my soul my mind and my body, it brings its life back to itself and without Denisse I probably would still be having so many issues that sometimes not even doctors can help with! She has helped heal in me parts I didn't know needed healing! read more

I started seeing Denise at a time where I was still very skeptical about reiki and energy healing. She has created such a safe space at Buena Vida Vibes that it helped me stay open to receiving energy healing. I can't thank her enough for her guidance. And looking back at the growth she has guided me through is such a gift. Her coaching and guidance makes me feel fearless and more confident in myself every time. read more

I've been working with Buena Vida Vibes for about 8 months now, specifically with "coaching and reiki" and "the Healers Club". Every single session we have is productive and useful, she does an amazing job leading the sessions intuitively. It is always spot on and exactly what I need! She is truly gifted and incredibly intelligent. It has been an amazing experience and I'm so grateful I came across Denisse! I would recommend anyone to come see her for reiki, especially if you're feeling slightly stressed or just interested in an alternative healing method. She is very knowledgeable, will take care of you and make you feel so so comfortable! read more

I was fortunate to be able to take Denisse's reiki certification course earlier this year and I am so happy that I did! Through this course I was able to learn about the origin of reiki, self-reiki and how to practice reiki on others. Aside from gaining knowledge on reiki, I was able to tap in and feel the power my hands have to heal thanks to Denisse. She made the experience very welcoming, exciting, and powerful! She provided detailed information as well as created opportunities for hands on learning. She was there every step of the way, making sure we understood. Even after the course, she still continues to support me and answer any questions. Her dedication to her work, students, and clients is very inspiring. If you were looking for a sign to take Denisse's certification course THIS IS IT!!!! read more

God, where do I begin? I found Denisse on IG about a year ago. In the beginning of 2023 I left a 10 year relationship. I moved back in to my moms house, I was going through a lot emotionally, mentally and physically and lost the only stability i ever had in my life. I lost my person, my home, my safe place, whom I thought was my soulmate, the love of my life. Someone I gave my all to and gave up a lot for. I was reflecting on A LOT. Alone. I decided to Spring clean EVERYTHING, including my social media. I only follow inspirational and motivational people. I started seeing more and more Of Denisse's post but had already starting seeing a Theta healing coach (via zoom). I felt like a needed more, in person, my coach confirmed she doesn't offer in person and it gave me the validation to instantly make an appointment with Denisse. I had my first Life coach session and Reiki in April. I was so nervous! Not only did I instantly cry the moment she opens the door but I felt so at peace! Denisse not only validated what I'd been feeling but also made me dig deep within myself as to why I felt, said, did certain things. Denisse was very thorough throughout the entire session. When we got to the REIKI. Holy shit! Seriously, amazing! The sense of peace, PEACE I immediately felt was magical. I felt so LIGHT. It's crazy how we hold on to SO much and don't even realize it. This was beyond my break up. I wanted more. Had a second reiki session a few weeks later and of course Denisse did not disappoint! At this point I was (am) so invested in internally healing, I was feeding my intuition after neglecting it for so long. Everything in life started aligning :) and God guided me back to Denisse but this time on another level. I took her Reiki 1&2 certification class! BEST DECISION EVER! Thank you UNIVERSE she made all of us feel so comfortable and powerful! Super Informative and thorough. I learned so much but not only from Denisse but from the amazing souls who took the class as well. She made sure we all left feeling confident, and we did! I still keep in touch when I have questions, she's so resourceful and always makes herself available for her students/clients. Sorry, this was longer than expected BUT it comes from a genuine place. Thank you Denisse, for an amazing experience in all my sessions with you. You are such and inspirational woman and I so blessed to have you apart of this new journey in my life! read more

Buena Vida Vibes - A post from a sweet Soul who also attended Denisse's class - Reiki Near Me - Alameda , California

I was a complete mess when I went to see Denisse. I was at the peak of a traumatizing breakup. I had never tried reiki before and decided something has got to give. I felt so low and am so thankful to Denisse for listening and validating a lot of the feelings I had. After the session, my body felt tremendously lighter, as if I had let go some of the baggage, stress and anxiety I was carrying. Though this is a work in progress, the session gave me a sense of clarity and understanding of what to look forward to again. I appreciate her being gentle in what felt like one of my lowest points. She is a true gem. read more

I've been going to Denisse for a few years now for reiki and life coaching and she never disappoints! I received a past life regression session from her a few weeks ago and had an amazing experience. She is extremely talented with a unique skill set that she uses to provide spiritual healing and guidance. I learned so much and it has already helped me understand myself better and prepare for shifts in my life that will get me where I want to go. If you are curious about your past lives and ready to learn more about your patterns, recurring issues and integrate more healing and growth in your life, book a session with her ASAP! You won't regret it. Definitely hit up Denisse for all of your spiritual and energetic healing services and needs. Don't walk, RUN! read more

So .. let's get to it! 2x time receiving reiki 1st time with Denisse Okay so despite COVID, Denisse was super professional with handling everything. She was very flexible with my schedule which was a plus! I work M-F 8-5 so having an afternoon to myself to do this with her was perfect. Her set up outside was perfect despite the smokey air quality. She didn't need to explain much since this was my second time but still shared some insight which was appreciated! I definitely felt thee realignment instantly once she started doing her thing and by the time I knew it, she was done! Denisse definitely felt unbalanced energy with my throat and crown chakra. I confirmed that earlier that morning, I had a sore throat & I've lately I felt off about communicating my feelings so she was definitely on point! I loved how Denisse was very flexible and local to the area! I hope to have more sessions with her in the future to keep the chakras aligned! Thank you so much Denisse! And btw, she went out of her to deliver my anklet bracelet and it's so beautiful! Red Agate, Fluorite, Obsidian, Amethyst & Citrine! read more

This was my first reiki session with Denisse and it was a amazing experience. Denisse made me feel comfortable from the very beginning! I did some research before my session but she gave me a better understanding of it all. I was feeling not myself lately and stressed but after our session I felt so much lighter and in such a better mood that I wanted to spread my positive energy to everyone around me! I say everyone should experience a reiki session Atleast once in their life. I enjoyed it and will Definitely be back for my next one. Thank you again Denisse! read more

This was my first ever reiki session and I did not know what to expect, I had little knowledge on it as well. Denisse was so kind and explained what it was and what I should expect. I then let her know the areas where I experienced most tension. My experience was so relaxing and once she started I felt warmth in my hands and more on my feet. Once the session was over I felt my shoulders lighter and overall more at ease. I definitely recommend having a session with Denisse at least once! You won't regret it! Can't wait for my second session read more

My first ever Reiki session! This was my first time hearing about Reiki and I was very interested in going and trying it out since I've been transitioning into a new chapter in my life. This transition has caused a lot of stress which has left my body so tense and stiff. I tend to carry that stress in my shoulders and lower back. It was the most tranquil experience I've had yet! Denisse made me feel really comfortable and once we started the session within the first 3 minutes I felt my body release and loosen up. I couldn't believe how I naturally was so tensed up. I felt as is my body melted and was at ease.. Even after the session I felt so light and positive. I definitely can't wait to go back again! Denisse is not only very easy going but she's great at communicating what to expect and what to look for after your visit! read more

Denisse is the truly the best hypnotherapist, reiki practitioner, and coach. I'm so happy I got to experience my first PLR session with her. She guided me through the experience in the most amazing and helpful way by always making sure I felt safe and answering any questions I had. She helped me tap into past life experiences to learn from them and heal from them. The PLR session has helped me in so many ways through tapping into healing generational traumas, events, and patterns to break and helped me understand parts of myself in the most self loving way. Definitely going to continue to see her for more PLR sessions and Reiki since she is someone that I can trust with my life and in my healing journey. I definitely recommend having a PLR session with her if you're feeling like you would like to understand more about patterns you keep encountering in your life and would like to know where they might come from in order to heal and grow from these cycles. read more

I found Denisse on Instagram and was very interested in her work. I have a had a lot of personal issues get in the way of things and thought I would give this a try. Denisse was very quick to respond and set up an appointment for me. When I got to her place, she made me feel really comfortable. Once it was time to start, I felt very nervous. The feelings I was getting in my body and the noises I was hearing, was actually quite scary at first. But once I came to terms that this was a good thing, it felt amazing. Afterwards, I was so shocked as to what I just experienced. It was such a relieving feeling. I felt more light and centered. I followed up with her the day after just to clarify some things that I felt during our session. She was very responsive and I genuinely felt like she wanted to do all she could to help me. Definitely will be going for another session. read more

I have never done a past life regression before but I was really excited going into it and I went to Denisse for a past life regression session and high recommend it to anyone that would like to learn more about it and experience it. I had been curious about doing a past life session but wasn't sure how it would be or what to expect. Denisse was great at explaining step by step before hand what to expect and also sent some great information before the appointment. Before the regression started we spoke about my current struggles and challenges and just life overall. I say this because I genuinely felt heard and that she was trying to understand me and how to best help me. She was patient and asked me questions and perspectives I hadn't thought about before. Once the regression started she guided me on how to relax and breath. I never felt scared , maybe a little nervous but overall I felt calm. Her office was really inviting and relaxing and she set up a great atmosphere for it! I will definitely be going back and recommending anyone that I know is interested in past life regressions and reiki too! read more

I just had a session with Denisse at Buena Vida Vibes and it was great. It was a great way to start out my Sunday Morning. Denisse is so personable and easy to talk to. Before our session, she asked great questions to get a sense of how I have been feeling. Her space is really welcoming too. When I was receiving Reiki, I felt so relaxed, I think I even fell asleep for a bit. I felt like my Aura was being energized. After the session, there was a two card pull and both tarot cards were on point and resonated so much for me. After my session, I felt relaxed, my mind was clear and I even had the courage to create an IG Live right after. Such a positive experience. I highly recommend booking with Denisse for a Reiki and Coaching session. read more

Not an expert in spirituality but I would like to encourage anyone to try reiki with Denisse! Becoming aware of your mind and body is a very powerful awareness. During the session Denisse makes it very comfortable for her clients. She explains what she's doing before, and after discusses where she notices tension in your body. Following your appointment, she sends you information on how you could help yourself using a naturalistic approach- I.e. crystals, mediation, Diet change. Overall, really grateful for the experience and would recommend to everyone! read more

I follow Buena Vida Vibes on Instagram and was curious what " Reiki" was. Usually when I'm dealing with extreme anxiety I'll drown myself with work but nothing was helping. After reading a few testimonies I knew I wasn't alone on feeling all the same tension and book appointment ASAP. Apon arriving I was already feeling tense but as soon as Denisse started the session I could already feel more relaxed with opening up. During the my session I felt my upper chest and my legs twitch towards the end I felt more at peace like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I haven't felt myself in YEARS.. after seeing Denisse I feel more calm and able to work on my anxiety. I can't wait for my next reiki session coming up next week. I highly recommend booking with Denisse. Also don't forget to check out her Instagram page to see inspirational quotes , reiki charged and blessed jewelry. read more

Through taking this reiki 1/2 course with Denisse I learned so much about myself and about the amazing power reiki holds in healing not only ourselves but others as well. I want to Thank Denisse for this experience and helping to guide me on my journey of self healing and stepping into my purpose. Not only did I learn so much form Denisse but from the other amazing women that participated in this class as well! It felt unreal to actually talk to other people about our spiritual gifts and abilities and gain more insight as well. it was such an enlightening experience! Not only is Denise very informative and helpful, but she truly takes the time to make sure all of us that participated in this course left well informed and continues to answer our questions and give us guidance even after class! read more

I went to Denisse for life coaching and Reiki. I was in need of some major stress relief and needed to process some things going on in my life. Talking to Denisse feels like talking to one of your closest friends/family members who makes you feel safe and won't judge. Our virtual session started with coaching and then I laid down offline for the reiki session. For the Coaching: She is so compassionate and empathizes with you while listening but she also has a sweet, gentle and loving way of holding you accountable. I was able to leave the session with a different perspective, action steps to take and an accountability partner to support me. For the Reiki: I put on some relaxing meditation music and laid down and instantly felt a sense of peace and ease. I felt the tension in my back release and also some tension around my head, neck and shoulders. I felt so much lighter and had a lot more energy on the days following. After the session, Denisse sent me some detailed messages about what she sensed. She confirmed that she senses tension around my shoulders and back as if I was carrying the weight of other people (just like I felt!) and she also encouraged me to journal more because she could sense how much was going on in my head (which I also felt!). I say ALL of that to say, Denisse is an amazing healer and coach. I trust her whole heartedly and recommend her to anyone looking for any kind of healing, support, guidance, relief, and more. Thank you, Denisse!!!!! read more

I am so glad I was able to get a reiki session with Denisse I have been following her for a while on Instagram and all I can say is she did not disappoint. Walking into her office instante felt at peace very cozy and comfortable. Talking with her was so easy felt like talking to a good friend. She is very nice and welcoming I really appreciated that a lot. She answered all my questions she listened to what I said as well. She made me feel at ease going into the reiki session. During the session I was nervous, excited and just feared not knowing what would happen. I instantly felt peace and relaxed. After the session I felt lighter happier and overall really relaxed. She explained more into detail about the chakra and what exactly she did during the reiki. I feel more knowledgeable now and I'm so excited to go back for my next one thank you so much. read more

I started my spiritual journey last September & I was recently recommended by my sister in law to have a reiki session with Denisse. I've felt for a while that I was going through a block and I was unsure on how to go about it. I have been stressed and my anxiety has spiked. Upon entering her office, I felt tranquility- I felt I was at peace. I was able to speak to her like I've known her for years! She explained to me how reiki works and I was ready to get started. I don't cry easily & during the meditation, I did let some tears out. I also felt all my life problems melt away. The blockage in my heart actually ended up being my heart chakra that needed to be cleansed amongst several other chakras. After my reiki session, I felt like a weight has been lifted from me. I feel better & more at peace. I can't wait for my second session! read more

I'm mind blown with the effects of my first ever reiki experience. I knew for awhile now that I needed some type of energy healing to be done however didn't realize how much of an effect it took on me. I had no clue about reiki till Denisse. She gave me a great summarization before my session and what was going to happen. During the session I felt a lot of what she said I would feel. After it was over, it's crazy to me still but I felt so much lighter. My body definitely went through some type of change. I was in a total different head space. I held on to giving this review because I wanted to see the effects of it after a few days went by. Before my session, I was in a hole. I came in with worry, anxiety, fear and sadness. However leaving and the past few days I've felt my best self. I can't wait to continue sessions with Denisse. And everyone should try reiki! read more

This was my first reiki and life coaching session, ever. Like everyone I was nervous, didn't know what to expect. Those feelings immediately went away when I met Denisse she has such great energy and comfort about her. It felt like I knew her for years. Life coaching session I believe is a must! She started off with this session which helped me loosen up and prepare for the reiki. I've had therapy before but this was so different I loved the fact that she is latina so I felt like it was easier to connect with her. She understood my background completely and gave me a direct path on what I can improve. Reiki session. I was completely relaxed, I felt a lot of tingling all over my body, I saw waves of light and felt like I was being held down to the bed but not in a bad way. There was a moment where tears were just running down my eyes but I didn't feel sad it was like I was releasing something. After the session. I felt a bit of happiness and felt normal the day of the session BUT the days following the reiki I have been feeling amazing it will almost be a week and I feel like a brand new person I am communicating so well with everyone and it's hard to explain but I feel so much love towards everything and everyone. I really cannot wait to see Denisse again. read more

I have had previous Reiki sessions in the past but 1) never outdoors which was amazing 2) I never really had an emotional release aka tears lol I found Denisse through a friend and most recently I had been kind of a in a funk with myself. Low energy, depression, anxiety, insomnia and I just knew I needed some form of healing. And just to be really real with all of you, when I get Reiki Im always asking myself if I will even feel anything or if it will do much but I really did feel a difference from the other Reiki sessions Ive had I will add Im pretty shy but right away, Denisse was super inviting, made me comfortable and cozy and I felt safe. During the session I felt a little bit of each emotion. I was sad, I was happy, smiling and at one point I even wanted to laugh but then ultimately I teared up and felt this inner part of myself want to be vulnerable and release something I had shoved under the rug. Aside from that I felt my hands get warm and a lot of vibrations by my third eye When the session was over I felt and still feel pretty mellow, peaceful and like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. She was pretty thorough and explained to me what she felt and where I was holding the most tension in my chakras. She even sent me affirmations to work on which is pretty dope!! Overall great experience :) Definitely recommend read more

I booked a Past Life Regression session with Denisse and after the session I left with clarity and a deeper connection to myself. This was my first ever PLR and I would highly recommend to book with Denisse whether you've never had a PLR before or even if you want to do one again. I for sure will be booking another one with Denisse! I really loved the process of it. It is about a 2-3 hour session. First Denisse asks you a few questions so she can get to know you and prep for any questions that you would like to ask source/universe/angels. Then she starts the session with meditation, reiki to calm the body and mind (I hella needed it ), and then the PLR session starts. After the session you get to debrief with Denisse what you experienced. Overall the experience was 10/10. I was able (and still am) to make connections that I've been wanting to make, and even connections that I haven't even thought of before. I will soon be taking a Reiki certification course with Denisse and I'm so excited to continue my spiritual growth journey with her! read more

I recommend everyone considering a reiki session to please reach out to Denise (or even if you're just curious)! Allowing someone to work with your energy can feel "scary" but on the contrary, my experience with Denise was amazing. Prior to my session I had been experiencing many headaches, so I went in hoping to see if perhaps this could help me out. During the session, I felt safe and was able to reach a calm meditative state. Afterwards, I experienced clarity and an immense amount of energy. Denise also provides you with the "upkeep" such as mantras/affirmations and crystal/healing stone recommendations. The beauty of reiki and many other holistic health practices is addressing internal issues such as relieving stress, inducing relaxation, releasing emotional blockages, balancing your energies and accelerating natural healing prior to an escalation of health issues. read more

I went to my first reiki session with Denisse about 2 weeks ago very unaware of what it even was. She explained everything to me so well and gave me a full understanding of what to expect. Leaving this session had me feeling so light and at ease. I had a lot of stuff happening in my personal life that had my anxiety sky rocketing and to leave with it all gone is insane. DEFINITELY coming back after this experience! read more

I couldn't be any happier, I found Denisse & finally pushes myself thru this healing process. Second time around coming to Denisse, this time I had both life coaching along with a reiki session after our talk. Coming into her office it's soo cozy and it sets the mood just right. After expressing myself to Denisse some stressful life events, she guided me to exercise some things at home. During my reiki session I felt all my negative energy leave my body. I suddenly felt my back arched and my back really warm, after I felt a lot of tension lifted, but it didn't realized that what I'm practicing at home is really helping me after our session. Healing is a process but nothing you cannot overcome thank you so much Denisse read more

I wasn't sure how my body would react to a first time Reiki session but I was extremely happy with the outcome. Dennise's office feels cozy and comfortable from my first step in. Dennise is extremely easy to talk to and has a aura of relaxation and positivity. For a while now, my side has felt uncomfortable due to strained muscles but once my session as over, so was the pain! I am truly amazed! Thank you Dennise for your amazing talents! Will definitely be back and would like to take my special needs son to her as well. read more

This was my very first Reiki session so I was a bit nervous coming in. I did a bit of research before my session on how Reiki works, however I do feel like this is definitely an in person experience one must try for themselves to fully understand it. Denisse really gave me a sense of comfort as she explained to me the process and what she was going to be doing . Afterwards I was able to get myself into a meditative state with Denissse's help. Once my eyes were closed I instantly started to feel the wave of energies through my body. I got a really warm feeling in my sixth eye chakra along with tingling sensations through out my body. Denise explained to me how it was a build up of stress and anxiety amongst other things. It was an amazing feeling through out the session and afterwards felt even better. It was as if she flushed all my negative energies away. Thank you so much Denisse I will definitely be coming back for a 2nd session read more

I had my first Reiki session done recently with Denisse and it was the best experience!I went in with and open mind and to kinda get a feel of it, I didn't really know the process of how it worked and I was intrigued! Dennise was super nice and informative before and after she makes you feel comfortable!! I have a second session booked which I a even more excited about. After my session I felt very calm and happy and for once my mind was at ease i didn't have a million thoughts running through my head at once!!! Just that whole day after was just an amazing feeling that I can't explain. I recommend Reiki especially with Dennise. read more

I decided to get my first Reiki session with Denisse and beforehand I felt anxious and super nervous. I didn't know what to expect and or how it'll help me but I was definitely excited and Denisse made me feel super comfortable. During my session I started to feel relaxed, felt my toes and fingers tingling and my thumb kept twitching. When the session ended, it felt like I came out of a trance which was weird but cool at the same time. I felt super light and in a great mood the rest of the day. I'm looking forward to my next session so I can continue to heal. I definitely recommend anyone to book a session with her! read more

I had my first distance reiki session a couple of days ago and it was amazing. I was so impressed on how I could feel the same energy throughout my body as when I've done in person session. I've been having a lot of negative thoughts lately and holding A lot of resentment,and during my session I felt my neck and head get so heavy at a point and all that was released by the end of my session when I opened my eyes I felt calm and light. Definitely will be doing more distant session. read more

I had so much anxiety leading up to my appt and had no idea what to expect. I wanted to try reiki since I heard so much of it. I originally reached out to her via Instagram, and she was responsive and also accommodated my needs. When I arrived to her house, I felt so welcomed. We walked into the backyard, and she began to make me as comfy as possible. She then when ahead and explained what the process will be. When she started the process I literally felt negative energy being removed from my body. I felt a tingly sensation, all over my thighs, my feet, and forehead. When I was done I felt lighter all around. When I walked inside my house my mom even said I look like I'm glowing. I will def come back for another session, I really think this will help with my underline problems. Update: I fell asleep like a baby last night, didn't wake up once or even have a anxiety attack!! read more

Before my Reiki session I wasn't really sure about what I was going to feel like. I kept an open mind and I'm glad I did. I was really tense before I came to my appointment, I feel like I haven't been that relaxed in a while. Right away I felt my shoulders more relaxed and I felt so at peace. I also noticed a change in my chest after this session. I could feel when it went down to my stomach. It's been a while since I've been that relaxed. Denisse also gave me some tips that I can use throughout my day. I came back for the second session and I felt even more relieved than the first time. I recommend it for everyone :) read more

Definitely recommend! Went just for a reiki the first time. Came in feeling all sorts of heaviness and left feeling so much better and helped me figure out the things I could work on and left feeling more at peace without those heavy feelings weighing on me anymore. Felt so comfortable enough to come back for another reiki + life coaching session. Was very nervous to talk about some pent up issues I had but quickly felt comfortable and heard and Denisse gave me so much peace of mind and confidence. 10/10 recommend read more
