My experience with an online class through The Shift Network with Marie Manuchehri was the same as the other reviewer (Lisa S.) who also took a class from her. I paid $1800 for her "Advanced Energy Healing" class thinking I would learn something to add to my existing energy healing business. I mostly got a lot of new age philosophy and Marie talking about herself and her life.
However what really triggered me more than the lack of genuine "advanced healing techniques (which was really a mix a reiki, jin shin jyutsu, and Inna Segal's work) It really disturbed me a few times what she claims she was taught by "her guides". For example, she taught that before we came to this life that we chose to sexually abused, murdered, commit suicide, etc. as part of our soul learning. After this particular lesson, one woman in the class wrote on the class Facebook page that she was leaving the class because she couldn't emotionally handle the belief that she had chosen the abuse she had experienced and the poor woman came to the conclusion that she was "not spiritually evolved enough" to handle it. How is that healing to tell your clients?
Another teaching was that "young souls" are the cause of the bad human behavior we witness on this planet and if you were taking her class then you were likely "an old soul" because you were more spiritually evolved. Wow what a way to teach us to look down at others and pat ourselves on the back!
Another beef I had: she also used this as a forum for her political beliefs (as the other reviewer Nicole B. mentioned) which I thought had no place in a class for helping energy healers improve their practice.
As for the Shift Network, they did give me a $900 tuition aid (they would not call it a partial refund) after I complained, which is partly my fault. You can take the first 3 classes and a get a full refund so if you are tempted to take her class, make sure to get your refund by the end of the third class if you aren't satisfied. read more
