I felt called to take the Jikiden Reiki course. After speaking with Laura, I knew I had to. Laura made sure I had an understanding of the history of Jikiden Reiki and its founders. She stressed the importance of the Gokai principles and living the mantras. She further stressed the importance of practice and experience. She instilled in me that I am always a student. The practical hands on experience was second to none. I know that this is a life style and for that I am grateful to Laura and her teachings.

I decided to join a seminar on spontaneous decision when I came to a Reiki share. It felt like the unknown was drawing me into. I wanted to find out what that was about. I have been certified in Western Reiki Level I & II. It seems that Jikiden is so much more simplified...Laura's teaching skills and experience are tremendous. Her knowledge is overwhelming. This is a real inspiration to learn more and practice, practice, practice. I would recommend Laura to anyone to have a Jikiden Reiki experience. I loved the practice part tremendously and all Laura's tips to improve.

The Reiki one course was a unique and powerful experience and yet another opportunity to open the portals into the spiritual world. Laura walked us through the important aspects of the origin of Reiki, led each of us through the attunement process and gave us ample opportunity to practice what we had learned. She is a knowledgeable and a patience teacher. The attunement process for me was a profound spiritual journey back to deeply hidden roots. Since that time my spiritual awareness continues to expand as the veil covering my senses slowly dissipates. During the afternoon we practiced Reiki on each other with some surprisingly accurate discoveries of chronic ailments and physical struggles. There is an innate sense of peace that comes when we connect with our self our soul and glimpse upon our own personal power . I look forward to continuing this spiritual growth through additional Reiki education.

Laura is one of my greatest teachers in life so it was an easy decision to have her be my teacher. I wanted the purest form of Reiki taught to me. Laura lives this lifestyle and exemplifies that art. She explained everything as many times as I needed. When I felt overwhelmed and wanted to quit she didn't let me. She dug in deeper and worked harder with me to explain and teach. This class and Laura has changed my life. I look forward to repeating this class with her to deepen my teachings. I can't say enough about what a beautiful soul she is.

Laura is a wonderful teacher. She makes everyone feel comfortable and is very funny. I have taken many classes in other places, but for me she has been the best. She is very informative, answers all your questions and makes learning with her easy. I have learned so much with Laura and will definitely be coming back again. She makes learning enjoyable

Take this class! Laura has a wealth of knowledge and experience and approaches this with a desire to teach and is rational in her approach...Just a wonderful experience

What prompted me to seek Laura's services was a Groupon! Not kidding. I kept seeing it and passing it by -- but thinking about it repeatedly. When I did some more research (looking at her website, Facebook pages, etc) I saw that she also taught Reiki certification classes. I was in a very dark place after a series of significant losses that all happened within a short time frame (my parents, my two beloved cat companions, my marriage, my house/home). The hits just kept coming and wouldn't stop. I felt tossed out to sea without a float. I thought a Reiki session and a Level I certification might be a place to try and get my head somewhere different. I was having trouble finding reasons to get out of bed at that point. Reiki kept calling me.

When I had doubts about following through, the universe sent me to a social gathering, where I met Laura in person! Doubt erased. Appointment made. So very grateful I did (grateful for the divine intervention that got me there too!)

The benefits of working with Laura have been profound for me. I would say life saving. Again - not kidding. I attended my Reiki Groupon session and my Reiki Level I Certification hoping to focus on something new to learn to get my head out of a bad place. What I received was tremendous spiritual and emotional healing that has helped me find the inspiration to live again, to move forward, to embrace my life and let go of all that is in the past. I released it at first with a great amount of sadness. I release it now with all my love.

Two of the most significant improvements that have manifested as a result of working with Laura are that I have incorporated a daily prayer/meditation/self Reiki practice that has helped me stay on a healing path. I feel more than capable of living my life. I feel inspired by life again.

Another improvement is that I am finding new ways to keep in touch with my higher self. One of those ways is to keep negative talk in check. Another way was to become vegetarian - something I had long thought about. It's a way to positively extend myself to the world by not participating any longer in the suffering of our food animals and the planetary consequences that result (environmental, spiritual, all of it)

What would I say to someone who is on the fence about trying Laura's Reiki services? I would say if it calls to you, there's a reason. You owe it to yourself to check it out. It's not a mistake that you are thinking of it. Your higher self is trying to lead you to water. Let it!

Thank you Laura, for helping me to open the door back to life, back to my higher self, back to healing. You don't have a gift. You ARE a gift. (heart emoticon)

Boom Boom Information! ...I came to the class thinking how it would help me deal with the outside sources of the Empath issue which were well covered and Laura gave a lot of tools & info on how to deal, but importantly, for myself, opened me up (awareness :) )on how I need to deal & recognize what I am contributing to it. The journey ... the balance...

I like meeting others that seek the answers to questions about being an empath ... Laura, I want to thank you for the class and all the knowledge not just about empaths, but sharing information about other healing modalities.

I learned today how important nutrition and proper vitamins are to my ability to handle and decipher various energies, so that I am less overwhelmed. Also, how self-love comes first and vibrating the frequency of love outward attracts less of the lower energies. Taking back my personal power.
