The class was extremely well organized and professional, and I learned so much in just one weekend. Christopher's knowledge of Reiki is vast, and he shared the history and practice in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. What stood out the most was his compassion and teaching style, he made the material accessible, meaningful, and inspiring. I've taken many classes in different fields, and no other teacher stands out as much as Christopher. His combination of expertise and heart truly sets him apart. He is great and so were the other students. I met some amazing people that weekend! If you're interested in Reiki, I cannot recommend this class enough. It was informative, empowering, and absolutely worth it.

Arianne always made me feel at ease and was patient with my questions and thoughts I had for her. I can't wait to see her again soon!

I wasn't totally sure how the session would go due to all the time/space between us but it was no different than the times I've seen Arianne in person. In fact, I may have been more comfy since being at home allowed me to drop in with less self-awareness, anxiety, fear, etc! The care and healing Arianne facilitates is so, so special and powerful ~ to feel this grounded and good after a distant session speaks to her abilities! Thank you Arianne!!

Anna will open your eyes and heart center to a beautiful expression of growth that you can't even imagine. In fact I'm struggling to put words to my experience. I have worked with her in various ways over the last 2+ years and not only has she guided me in my healing, but she has taught me how to support myself through different healing modalities to continue my journey on my own. Through Reiki certification, monthly community circles, extended 16 month community circles and various online classes I have created better emotional and physical health for myself. I now understand the importance of truly feeling all of my emotions which brings more connection to my actions, thoughts and forgiveness of self and others. I am more gentle with myself and I am slowly peeling away the layers of societal brainwashing to discover who I am and how I want to show up. This has also trickled down to my children. Our conversations are deeper and our understanding of our relationships has grown. She has truly helped me to become a better version of myself. I also want to mention what a beautiful space holder she is both online and in person. Anna models exquisite respect and responsibility through love and kindness for all beings within her containers. I have always felt seen, heard and emotionally held within every single gathering I have been a part of with her. So while I am healing myself I am also being shown how to support others in a safe space of healing as well. Pure magic. I am forever grateful for your teachings and support Anna. Thank you a thousand times, thank you!

I was unsure of what to…read moreexpect except for connection with other women healers, but it wound up being good that I had no expectations since this group surpassed any expectations I would have had. The closeness and connection that we nurtured provided a soft spiritual place for me to land every month with whatever was going on in my life. As a facilitator, Anna was kind, supportive, celebratory, empathetic, and sensitive to the needs of the group. The spiritual work we did together in that group was deep and profound, and I feel like I am in a different place in my life after a year of this work. The different themes, topics, and reflections were varied and seemed to be timed perfectly to what the group was going through. I am so grateful for the magic, the warmth, the support, and the spiritual nurturing I received in this group. Blessings to Anna and the Dreaming Otter!

All I knew was that I was numb towards the beauty of life and I had started to make the state of unhappiness my new normal - I needed help. After the session, I was in a stable state of deep calmness and lightness. The cloud of darkness, self-doubt, weight of negative thought patterns disappeared. I am still living in the beauteous hope for unlimited possibilities that Shekhina restored in my life. During the session there were times when deep emotions were surfacing, the false narratives I told myself were breaking down and Shekhina helped me see the truth of my inner being through her work. Mankind needs more beings like her!

I didn't even know if Reiki worked. But I received what felt like a divine sign after my first session with her. The man I was grieving for reached out (after months of silence) hours after my first Reiki session. Some people might believe this was just an uncanny coincidence, but each successive session sprang another surprise. After I finished my 4 sessions with Shekhina, he wanted me back. Only now, I was in my power. I was whole. I didn't need something that didn't serve me anymore. While I found Reiki to be the most healing, Shekhina also pushed me to reflect and channelize my creative energy. She wasn't afraid to give me tough love and call it as it is. At the same time, she made me realize that tough love isn't always the way. I learned to be more gentle with myself. Somewhere along the way, I had forgotten to love myself. Shekhina helped me reclaim myself.

He provides light emotional-spiritual coaching alongside the needle treatment, and I find that to be a very important component of healing from chronic conditions.

That evening I felt a lot better and the next day even better. It was as if huge tension had been lifted and I was clearer, much more productive and able to function. Really, really great work.

She checks in regularly and is truly collaborative in her approach to healing. I've been seeing steady improvement in my pup's physical and emotional health over the course of the treatments. While there hasn't been the kind of all-at-once miracle cure I'd initially hoped for, the cumulative impact of the gradual improvement has been dramatic. My dog had been prone to skin infections and colitis, but those have calmed down dramatically. She's become calmer, less reactive, and more able to rest, too. We've gone from crisis-after-crisis for months on end, to stability. We're grateful for Deanna's care for our pup!

My sweet Maddie all of a sudden didn't like it when her sister was sick, so Maddie went into attack mode and Marbles, her sister lost her confidence. Maddie also started peeing outside their litter boxes. Deanna worked her magic, and two months later, they are almost back to their normal selves. Marbles is still a little cautious at times around Maddie, however the fighting has greatly improved and Maddie has stopped peeing outside their boxes! For a while, Marbles did not like coming into our bedroom, which was their safe space. She is back to snoozing in our room and sleeping with me on occasion. I suspected Maddie would pee in random places because she was mad at me, especially if I was out of town. The last two trips I took, I checked her spots when I returned home and there was no pee! Deanna, thank you! You truly do have a way with animals and helping them heal from current or past traumas.

On top of that, my family noticed a difference about me and my energy. It felt weird feeling 'normal' after not feeling normal for a long time.

I've been sort of going through a rough patch aka that which is 2012-2019 (yep) and I'd been doing a lot of soul searching, questioning, and experimenting. My best friend who lives in Las Vegas had mentioned her experience with Reiki and how great her experience was, so I began to do my research. It wasn't until maybe last year that I was aware of people's energies and more specifically chakras and their effects on people. I had always just felt mentally disconnected from my body and as if my energy(energies?) inside were clogged and extremely stagnant. With what little I knew of Reiki, I thought I'd benefit from a session. Why not? I actually searched on Yelp for a practitioner, and came across Reiki Works. I didn't know what I was going into and I didn't know how to prepare. Reiki was a new experience. This made me a bit nervous. I didn't even know if Reiki was "going to work". Luckily enough, Maret helped me feel at ease and she's a great person to talk to in general. It felt more like hanging out and catching up with a friend more than it did seeing a practitioner who has to do work on you, so some of my nervousness dissipated. I'm really, extremely fortunate that Maret was the one to co-pilot this cathartic Reiki session with me. It was an inexplicable experience that was both physical and mental. I don't know what happened exactly, but I am for sure reaping the benefits of just that one session alone. I will most definitely be booking more sessions with Maret further down the line, after I do some homework and introspection of my own. Trust me when I say to trust Maret as your co-pilot!
