Our team enjoyed working with Kristin. Such a great spirit in the day and age where people are hurting sick and not nice... Kristin is a healing spirit and we all recommend the Healing Woods 100% read more

It had been a really rough year for me. After a traumatic event left my nervous system completely shot and my body depleted, I knew I needed something beyond just rest to get back to balance. Sometimes, it's just best to bring in the professionals for that extra support. I knew immediately that I needed Kristin. I purchased a distance-reiki healing package, which was perfect- I love the idea of receiving deep healing from the comfort of my own home. No need to worry about driving home after, I can just float around my house or fall asleep when my sessions were complete. As always, Kristin's highly intuitive sessions were relaxing and energetically on point. She picked up on my energy so well, that her re-caps were often identical to my experience! I remember one session where I visualized energy coming from the center of the earth, up through roots, into my body. Guess what Kristin did? She described that exact same vision to me after our session finished! The woman is tapped IN. I'm looking forward to more sessions in the future. I love her gentle support and she always seems to be right! She's the real deal! read more

Kristin's hypnotherapy work was incredible! I was so grateful to experience it in the comfort of my own home, with the ability to allow her voice to take me on a deep dive and then be able to awaken in my own space. Kristin is present, passionate, capable and clear in her communication and the perfect hypnotherapist to assist one in creating a new vision that makes sense. I am so grateful for her work and the ability to continue seeing her from the opposite coast! Thank you Kristin! read more

I was a smoker for 25 years. I have tried patches and gum and nothing seemed to work. Using the guided meditation sessions really helped me get to the core of my smoking issues. In combination with a cessation schedule, this helped me out down the pack. I've been smoke free for a month and am so grateful for her help along this journey. My family and lungs are forever indebted. read more

What to say about Kristen! I've worked with Kristen individually and as part of a Bullsh*t Bonfire, and every time has been distinctly wonderful. She brings deep innate empathy and insight, along with a warmth and sensitivity that is truly unique. ​Her Bullsh*t Bonfire is an adventure not to be missed! She met each individual where they were and saw how best she could support them to get the most out of the experience. I've recommended Kristen to friends and would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you Kristen, and looking forward to next time! read more

Kristin has been nothing short of a Godsend! I had a traumatic experience which shook me to my core and was guided to find Kristin. I booked several sessions with her and just from my initial tarot reading she was able to "plug me back in". In the months since working with Kristin, I have never been more clear and aligned to my calling and purpose. I've also taken reiki certification classes with Kristin. She is so knowledgeable and gifted! I completed level 2 Reiki certification and looking forward to level 3/master certification. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Kristen! I appreciate you more than you know! Yelpers--you got it right! She's the real deal! read more

Working with Kristin is transformational!! She brings a healing energy to each and every conversation I have with her. I began working with Kristin on a weight loss hypnotherapy journey and she has really helped me overcome personal obstacles within that journey. I've gone on to work more with Kristin by stepping into the "Calling in the One" work which helped me to dig deep into every type of relationship I encounter, from family, to work colleagues and love. Taking the time to do the deep shadow work with her caring hand was incredibly impactful and has provided me the tools I need to have deeper more meaningful interactions. Working with Kristin is a beautiful journey, she is a true master in her craft! read more

Doing the "Calling in the One" work was a transformational journey and being coached by Kristin was a magical experience. I experienced a tremendous amount of growth and healing, and going through this work with Kristin was precisely who and what I needed. She was so gentle, and loving, and listened to and supported me without judgment. It can be hard to be vulnerable and I felt so safe with her guiding me through this work. She knew exactly how to guide me through the lessons when I came across any emotional blocks. Through this work, I learned where any patterns in my life stemmed from and how to then release and transform these patterns for the better. I've been able to let go of self-limiting beliefs and truly understand myself as the source of light, power, and happiness. Throughout the course, Kristin provided me with questions to help me manifest the life I wanted and then used my answers to create a personalized guided meditation during our sessions. She also led me through a releasing ceremony and supported me with reiki energy throughout the process. It was a truly healing and beautiful experience. Those closest to me have commented on how much I've grown after completing this course. I've learned how to fully love and trust myself, and for me, that is so powerful. Thank you, Kristin! I've also had the opportunity of completing my reiki 1 certification with Kristin, which was such a beautiful experience. Reiki has given me the power to heal myself and become more aligned and connected with source. Kristin is a wonderful teacher with so much wisdom and knowledge! She has a special energy about her that brings calmness and power at the same time. Being able to give myself reiki through times of uncertainty and just to move through my daily life has given me a sense of peace, alignment, and healing. I feel empowered and connected through reiki energy. :) read more

After just one hypnotherapy session, my car anxiety/phobia is phenomenally better! For the last few years, I have had panic attacks whenever riding in a car, especially on freeways. After my first (of three) hypnotherapy sessions, I was able to ride in a car on the freeway for 4-5 hours without any panic attacks. I am confident that I will only continue to get better as we continue with our sessions. Kristin is not only a powerful healer, but also made sure that I was comfortable with the entire process. She took the time to explain in detail what would happen during the hypnotherapy sessions, so that I was relaxed, calm and receptive to the process. I highly recommend Kristin and The Healing Woods to anyone looking to change their life for the better. With her tools ranging from reiki to hypnotherapy, I am confident she can help anyone achieve their goals in an affirming and positive manner. read more

I don't know where to begin with my praise of Kristin! I've been seeing her for years for reiki sessions, which she is amazing at. She is the real deal. She is lineage of dr usui, founder of reiki. Lately I've been having hypnotherapy sessions with her and they have been awesome. She even emails the audio sessions so you can listen to them as you fall asleep at night to help rewire your thoughts. I even got sessions for my boyfriend as a gift! Her tarot readings are amazing too. I've even had reiki 1 2 and 3 master level attunement and training with Kristin. I'm so grateful Kristin came into my life, I have gained so much knowledge, clarity, peace, and ability to channel the universe's energy through Kristin. Update- 4/14/20- I've been a client of kristen's for 5 years! Now I'm in MD and for the past year have been only doing her zoom meeting appointments for reiki and it's been amazing, I'll be a client of Kristen s for life! Distance reiki is just as effective as her in person. I always feel so much better and uplifted after her hypno reiki zoom sessions. read more

I did a lot of research (for a year) and talked to a few trusted friends about their tarot and Reiki experiences, but still wasn't quite sure what to expect...I was nervous and unsure. None of them had been to Kristin but her website just kind of spoke to me. I could not have asked for a better first time experience, and I'm looking forward to many more. Kristin immediately put me at ease, and walked me down this very personal path with such kindness and care. My time with Kristin was enlightening, weight-lifting and life-changing. In our session I gained so much insight and confidence into my own thoughts. That is the best way I can describe it...like finding a lost part of me that was there. My session was almost 3 weeks ago and I continue to feel more aware, focused, and at peace with even the hiccups life sometimes has in store. I look forward to more! read more

My family members had recently experienced some trauma and I was a having a hard time letting go of the anxiety from my experience. After my first Hypno Reiki session with Kristin, I slept through the night for the first time in 2 weeks. Now I feel at peace thanks to Kristin's powerful healing abilities. She also helped me to elevate my confidence around new business decisions. Now I'm eager to move forward in all areas of my life my subconscious is no longer holding me back from reaching my full potential. read more

I have worked with Kristen many times and there is a reason I continue to go back time and time again! I have had incredibly detailed and accurate tarot readings and healing reiki sessions. She truly has a healing touch. I recently experienced my first hypnotherapy session with her and WOW!! It was amazing! I honestly had no idea what to expect. I have never been under hypnosis, but I trust Kristen and knew I was in good hands. She was incredibly informative and spent time explaining how hypnotherapy can help us with changing negative thought patterns and beliefs. It is a fascinating process and has proven to be quite effective. I highly recommend working with Kristen! She is gifted and a true healer of body, soul, and mind! read more

I've worked with Kristin the past few years on various conditions - pregnancy, grief, stress, physical pain, anxiety, etc. Her distance Reiki sessions are filled with love, support, and you feel relaxed afterward! It's like a huge energetic weight has been lifted off your shoulders. My recent session revolved around feeling triggered at a certain period of my life and Kristin was able to clear this block around this period and I no longer look back and feel these intense emotions about it. I highly recommend Kristin for your distance Reiki needs! read more

Kristin is the absolute best! I booked the "Book your own adventure " session and did Tarot, reiki, and a past life reading. The experience was so great, I decided to send this as a gift to my sister who absolutely loved it! I am grateful for helping me , but most all, my sister. Consider this for yourself and a loved one, you won't regret it ! read more

I am completely and utterly overcome with joy and gratitude for everything Kristin has done! I am one session away from completing my Healing Vista six session virtual hypnotherapy sessions with Kristin and per usual, I am just blown away by her compassion and her natural talent for healing. I had heard that she does hypnotherapy and I had considered having it done since I've been a smoker for over 13 years and I knew it was time to quit. To give one an idea of how much I would smoke, I would go through a pack about every other day so I smoked A LOT. I was very nervous about quitting since I was forced to quit some years ago and the process had been quite uncomfortable. I had quit everything else so quitting smoking was the only thing left to do. I felt like an addict, hopelessly bound and controlled by my unhealthy habit. Kristin was able to do an assessment of what type of sessions I would be needing and once we agreed on it, we scheduled all our sessions for the next few months. Kristin was able to ween me off of my habit and tailor each recorded hypnotherapy session based of my own personal triggers and the emotions that quitting brought up. Though quitting was still challenging in its own ways, I felt that having the hypnotherapy sessions were super helpful and made the discomfort I was expecting to experience next to non existent. Quitting for good has been easier than I ever imagined and I owe this new healthy lifestyle to Kristin and the work she does at the Healing Woods. It's been a month now since I've had my last cigarette and while I do get cravings here and there, it's mostly mental. All the benefits far outweigh the discomfort that is needed in order to heal. I highly recommend Kristin to anyone who is considering hypnotherapy to aid with their healing journey. read more

Kristin provided me an online Akashic reading that completely blew me away and was spot on to the point. The insight she provided as to who I am, where I came from, and what lessons I am learning was so valuable to helping me understand myself. The reading was so detailed and filled with genuine love and guidance. There was certainly a change after the reading Kristin you are an amazing person , gifted and certainly would recommend her for any readings. Love and hugs to you Kristin read more

I have worked with Kristin numerous times and always had a great experience. Whether in person or online, she is fully present and able to get to the heart of the matter. Kristin is insightful and loving and encourages healing by asking the right questions to develop a hypnotherapy meditation that is unique to my individual needs. read more

I've had many kinds of alternative healing in the past, including Reiki. Some were good, some just OK. I can honestly say, this woman was BORN TO BE A HEALER. She is like a duracel battery! You can feel the energy generating from her, like no other Reiki master I've ever been to. She's also is incredibly psychic, and often relays meaningful messages, that make total sense, just to me. Always what is relevant at the moment in my process. Her massage is also a treat. Why would you not go to a masseuse who also generates Reiki during your massage? The double benefit is pretty profound. Every time I go to Abhayada, I say 'why the heck did I wait so long?' Wether your experiencing emotional or physical pain, do yourself a favor and go see her! read more

Where to begin.. Kristin is an AMAZING reiki master practitioner and trainer. I've attended some of her events (*highly* recommend the BS bonfires) and have trained with her for my own Reiki practice. While there are cheaper group-type training options in the area, I really appreciate the intimacy and customization that comes with her one-on-one approach. Let me tell you, she is worth every. single. penny. Not only do you receive the appropriate attunement, she also helps you navigate through your own blocks and is more than happy to answer any nitty gritty business questions. Plus she keeps it real and is very down to earth. If you're looking to receive some powerful healing or are thinking of getting into Reiki as a practitioner, do yourself a tremendous favor and reach out to Kristin. I cannot recommend her enough. read more

I just left the most awesome experience today with Kristin. I went to her for a tarot reading for clarity about one specific thing, but so many of my questions were answered. She gave me hope for the future, and helped me to think about some possibilities that I hadn't really explored. The atmosphere is easy and relaxing, and she's fun to talk with. She hit the nail on the head with the things that I was concerned about, and really confirming my thoughts about what I should do. God used her to speak to me. Thank you so much for your gift! read more

I've never had Reiki done, much less a cord-cutting before, but I have known Kristin for a while and trust her. The experience was very organic. The time we spent discussing where I am now and what cords I wanted to cut was not forced or uncomfortable and I felt that she really had a good sense of what needed to happen. I love the room she works in and took advantage of the opportunity to charge some jewelry on her crystal shelf. The experience was powerful. More importantly, it is a week later and I know the cords have been fully cut. There is a weight lifted from my shoulders, heart and mind. Thank you so much!!! read more

I am so glad that I saw Kristin as one of my suggested friends on FB while living in OR last year. I immediately knew that she was the person I wanted to go to for Reiki once I moved back to Los Angeles. She is amazing. She's down to earth. She is super cool. Her readings are always spot on, and she's just really easy to talk to. Her treatments always leave me feeling centered, refreshed, and peaceful. I also really loved my Reiki classes with her, and I plan on going going for Reiki Master soon. Most importantly, when I first starting going to her for weekly Reiki sessions, I had been suffering from a yearlong depression after my grandmother's passing and stuff going on at home. I tried going to counseling, later couples counseling, and nothing was helping. Once I started to deal with things on an energetic level with Kristin, I went through the most intense spiritual awakening of my life and suddenly my anxiety and depression seemed to fade away. I've been free from depression ever since. Not only did her healing help me to get back to my normal self, but her teachings also helped me to learn how to heal myself, not just emotionally but physically. I use the skills that she taught me to deal with extreme cramps, headaches, and other physical pain that ranges from mild to extreme. Even though I am a Tarot reader and Reiki practitioner myself, I still often go see Kristin. I hope to see her forever for all my Reiki healing needs. Also, I can't say enough about her warnings and advice when reading Tarot for me. They have really done me well when I've been in tough situations where important decisions needed to be made. I highly recommend Kristin! read more

WOW! Amazing! My second reading here and I'm hooked. Kristan is Wonderful! The moment I walked in I felt welcomed and soothed. I knew this was the real deal and legit. Everything she said was spot on and accurate. She was very honest and upfront. She didn't candy cost anything and she explained everything in detail. I wish I had more time with her. I would recommend her to everyone I know and I guarantee that u will be satisfied. I walked out with a better understanding of my present life and what needs to be done to have the best future. I know have guidance in my life thanks to kristan and I can now finally move on and be the best person to myself and my family. I know where finally my life should be headed thanks to kristan. I will continue to see her soon. read more

I was familiar with reiki and wanted to find a reiki master that I felt comfortable learning from. When I met Kristin, she did more than make me comfortable. She provided me with warm genuine hospitality. As a minister in the Christian church, I wanted a teacher who respected me and my faith tradition. Kristin is open and demonstrates genuine care and appreciation of me and my faith. As she began reiki on me, I was amazed at the sensation of heat that I felt and the array of deep colors I sa within my mind. Her intuitive ability to sense the locations of my pain was amazing. Now, about six weeks later, I have been attuned by Kristen as a reiki practitioner and I am in awe of the powerful healing energy that flows within and through me. I am also amazed at the gentle and personal teaching and coaching I receive. read more

My complete experience at The Healing Woods was absolutely amazing! From the moment I walked in, the peaceful energy surrounded me like a familiar, warm blanket, and allowed me to calm and quiet my spirit - this being at a time in my life when just about everything I was dealing with was going awry - was no small feat! Abhayada has the ability to comfort and heal with voice, energy,hands and spirit. I felt extremely safe and able to open up to what I can honestly say is the best energy healing experience I have ever had. The Reiki energy was very noticable, stayed with me for days and enabled me to take an all important first step up and away from a dark, stagnant and uncomfortable place in my life. I am currently booking (and looking very forward to) my next batch of appointments as Abhayada's schedule fills fast, for very good reason - She is magical and incredibley gifted! read more

LOVELY! I'm so excited for her success and I can vouch from personal experience that she is a healer. She's down to Earth, flexible and very welcoming. I'm lucky to live only minutes from her and hope to take advantage of the different deals she has been offering as of late; especially the combo deals. I hesitated a bit before reaching out to her because of traumatizing experiences in the past, but I'm glad I worked through it. It's hard to find a massage therapist or healer that's queer/trans-friendly. I most definitely appreciate this in someone working on my body, as I want to know I am in good hands. This is the only professional massage that I have ever enjoyed and where I felt like I was respected and well taken care of. For that alone, I am grateful. Thank you... you have my business! read more

My recent online tarot reading with Kristin was the best readings I've ever had! Her intuition is phenomenal, her insight is spot on & her ability to clarify situations in order to make progress in my life path is outstanding! I cannot recommend Kristin enough! FaceTime or Skype- she can give readings from wherever - what a BLESSING! If you are reading this... You should book an appointment now! read more

I was very sceptic about this tarot reading thing, it was my second time after having a really bad experience with those ten dollar readings hahaha. Any ways i decided to go to Kristine with hope of having a good experience just based on the yelp reviews, and you know what i wasn't disappointed at all, she gave me all the answers that i needed and i even got to know some other facts that i wasn't looking for but that definitely were important. I totally recommend this place. Tenia mucho nervio de ir a una sesión de Tarot después de que tuve una muy mala experiencia con esas lecturas de diez dólares, sin embargo me animé a ir con Kristine por todos los buenos comentarios que tenía en yelp y termine sorprendido pues me dio todas las respuestas que buscaba e inclusive otras mas que terminaron siendo muy importantes para mi. Definitivamente este es un lugar muy recomendable, Kristine es super buena onda y muy amable. Recomiendo este lugar totalmente. read more

My hypno-reiki session with you has helped me to keep on track with my weight loss! Plus, the dreams, oh my goodness, the dreams are incredible, so much deep healing taking place! I'm still going through this healing journey and I know there will be more healing to come, from just 1 session with you it's truly powerful! Thank you for you, your gifts and your commitment to this work read more

Walking into Kristen's home I felt at ease. She was warm and welcoming. It was my first time experiencing Reiki. I didn't know what to expect. Kristen explained everything to me and shortly after I felt comfortable and tranquil. If you have never experienced Reiki , you definitely should . Thank you Kristen for sharing your gift. read more

Kristin Dwan thank you for the amazing birthday fairy tarot card reading. It really helped me feel secure, proud and excited for the next 12 months. Immediately after I got off our skype call I saw some random receipts and junk that looked like they fell out of a bag or purse right next to me. After closer inspection it was our parking ticket from the OB parking garage at Swedish Medical Center... from nearly six years ago. Not only did I not realize I had even held on to that little keepsake from the birth of my daughter, I have no idea other than my angels...that they would literally show up at my feet after talking about leaning more about becoming a reiki doula. The signs that have been at my feet literally are just too obvious to ignore. Thank you my reiki soul sister! read more

I have been working with Kristin for a few months now, and currently over Zoom given the quarantine. I have been to her for various types of healing including reiki, hypnotherapy, Akashic not to mention the healing I receive from simply being in her presence. She is truly one of a kind and I am so grateful for her. She is such a powerful, wise, gifted soul and an inspiration in my life that has brought me deep healing of some very old wounds and patterns. I highly recommend this woman read more

I've been working with Kristin regularly for the the past 2 years. I've received fire Cupping, Tarot Readings, Reiki, Reiki I training and even some business tips from Kristin. I always look forward to sessions with her. She is an amazing healer and human being whose helped me in multiple areas of my life. I highly recommend Kristin. read more

Kristin Dwan is a Master, yes in Reiki, yes as a Teacher, Reader, Massage Therapist on & on. She is also Masterful, a Spot on Tarot Card Reading yesterday, confirming what I had been knowing for myself, yet these ancient old cards spoke loudly about where I go from here & what to expect in 2017. I love her energy & her ability to pull it all together for me, the Piece to my Peace! I am grateful... Rev. Emma BodyNSoul read more

I first met Kristin thru a Full Moon Bonfire that she was doing, she really made me feel comfortable and she just radiates a sweet positive energy. After 2 Full Moon sessions I worked with Kristin via Skype to help a friend, and the results were astounding, literally within 2 hours there was a HUGE positive change in my friend! Recently I started working with Kristin for one on one Reiki, and I've seen amazing changes in my life in just 1 month! The first session I was sick with a lingering cold and soar throat, so we basically worked on that and general well being. Literally 30 minutes after I left her place my sinuses began clearing and my throat felt better; by that night my 10 day cold was gone. Our 2nd session I wanted to see if she could help me with my TV addiction...I know, sounds funny, but TV was my way to "wind down" and just "veg out" in the evenings. I wanted to use more of that time for positive things (like meditation) to bring in more abundance, joy, and peace. That night when I went home, I watched 2 hours of TV (out of habit), but I wasn't really into it. Since then I literally haven't had the desire to watch TV AT ALL (which is insane for me). I've now been doing some sort of meditation, law of attraction exercise, and/or visualization every day. I've been getting extra income coming in from unexpected jobs, including some exciting career things (I've signed with a new agent and I'm on hold for a print job). Also, I brought in a photo of my dog and asked for healing for a health issue he'd been having that the vet said there was nothing I could do for him, and I TRULY TRULY feel his issue has gotten better! I'm truly grateful Kristin has been brought into my life, and I would 1000% recommend her for anything going on in your life! read more

Kristin is my trusted guide into my subconscious. Every session I've had with her was transformational. She asks the pertinent questions to really get a clear picture of what my energy needs to release. I love that I'm able to work with her online! I'm able to do hypnotherapy sessions in the comfort of my own home so I can go really deep into my journey. It's also so much easier to schedule then trying to find time to go somewhere in person. Being an energy healer myself, I am well aware of the benefits of distant Reiki, readings, and healing modalities and I really feel the power of our sessions though we are miles apart. Can I give you more than 5 stars please? read more

Highly recommended. Kristin is extremely gifted at what she does. I was referred from a friend. She makes you feel very much at ease, takes great care and attention to what your goals are and provides a personal healing program designed to meet your needs. I had never tried reiki before but was interested in the process of having chakras aligned. I am very happy with the results and continue to see her regularly. read more

Everything about my experience was wonderful. I left feeling lighter, refreshed and energized! An aura of hopefulness and a freeing feeling is still resonating in me! Looking forward to my next session. Thanks Kristin! read more

I was suffering from fibroids and would experience heavy menstrual cycles. I went in for cupping and Reiki to heal an area on my body that had nothing to do with my terrible menstrual cycles. Kristen not only healed me from my sore spot but her healing cured me from the terrible menstrual cycles I was having ! This was only after one session! Thank you ! read more
