I’m grateful to my clients and students for sharing their experience with Reiki and thank them for allowing me to post these for others to read.

Great blog post from one of my Reiki students describing what she learned and experienced during our class!

“I had never experienced Reiki before but I had heard of its beneficial healing abilities.  I wanted to take the classes and become a Reiki practitioner to assist myself and (my interest is) animals. So I did my research online.  I visited many websites, and the reason I chose Dana was that her website was personable. She sounded like a comfortable person I could connect with.  I contacted her by email and the message returned reflected that and more.  

I wasn’t wrong. Dana was as personable as her website and emails portrayed her to be.  She not only went through the history of Reiki but explained the philosophies of Western and Eastern. She took the time to answer questions and recommend further readings. She offered handouts that reiterated and embellished what she shared with us.  She gave us the Attunement for the class and gave us time to let the energy flow and ebb in us and around us. In the latter part of the class Dana had us experience Reiki, perform self Reiki and practice Reiki on other members of the class. Dana also shared personal experiences with Reiki and had us share our feelings, etc. throughout the day.  I thought this was very important as they 1.) made me realize everyone experiences something a little different depending on what healing needs to take place  2.) how we need to let ourselves go (not be so uptight or try to hard) to let the energy flow within us. and 3.) how practice actually strengthens the healing energy.

The second class was a deeper experience as I learned more of Reiki, received more Attunements and practiced once again with fellow Reiki practitioners.

The final plus!!! Dana doesn’t leave you high and dry after classes. She continues to keep in touch and share her joy and experiences of Reiki . You always know someone is there to assist you and keep you moving forward in what you want to accomplish with Reiki.”  Sharon – Duluth, GA

“I received a gift certificate for a one hour Reiki session from a friend.  I had no idea what Reiki was…..and of course searched for information about it on the internet.  In summary, some type of non-invasive energy balancing practice.  Being open-minded, I looked forward to my first appointment.

I was pleased to meet a very friendly, bright and down-to-earth practitioner.  Dana has a nice calm demeanor, not at all “airy fairy”.  During the session, I could feel tension being released from knotted muscles.  In fact, the most benefit was felt a couple of hours after the session when I realized that my usually tense shoulders felt relaxed!

Since that first visit, I’ve become a regular client (6+ months).  Dana has been able to alleviate physical pain (from injuries) with long lasting benefits.  The sessions are also beneficial for mental stress relief.

I’m very grateful to have experienced Reiki under such experienced hands.” - RLS, Atlanta

“My experience with Dana has been and continues to be amazing. I have a torn meniscus in my right knee. I have had a cortisone shot, steroid medication as well has pain medication. None of these things have given me any relief. I’ve known Dana for a few years and know how amazing she is at what she does – as well as being a wonderful, caring person with a beautiful soul. I had never had Reiki before and decided I would let Dana give me distance Reiki since I live in Florida. I was at the point that I would try anything. I was so amazed with the results after our first session. After a couple of sessions I was feeling great. So much so that I could get up and do all my normal activities PAIN FREE – something I hadn’t been able to do for months! I am extremely greatful to Dana for sharing her gift with me.”

“Working with Dana was my first experience with Reiki. I didn’t know what to expect, but I soon relaxed and achieved a deep meditative calm. I found this a very welcome benefit.” – Randy Prunty, Decatur

“My experience with Dana was awesome.  Incredibly relaxing and restorative.   It was quite a colorful experience.   Thank you for sharing your gift with the planet.” – Louie Lieberman, Atlanta

“I met Dana via the internet when we were both pregnant with our first children.  We became friends and stayed in contact despite living on opposites sides of the country. A year ago, my husband and I started trying for our second child. I tried Clomid, HCG injections, FSH injections and progesterone. I went through 9 unsuccessful IUI’s. Dana then sent me a candle charged with Reiki. I followed her instructions, saying a short prayer asking that any energy blockages in my body be released so that I could conceive and have a healthy pregnancy. She also included me in her daily affirmations. The following month was my 10th IUI, and Dana sent me a rainbow moonstone to promote fertility and support a pregnancy. I took it to all of my doctor’s appointments. I am now 5 weeks pregnant! I know that Dana’s distance Reiki helped me to conceive. She has been given the gift of being a vessel through which divine intervention can occur. Thank you Dana.” – Natalie, Orange County, CA

“My first experience with the practice of Reiki was with Dana. After what should have been a simple out-patient surgery turned into a serious staph infection I went to see Dana for advice and assistance. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but walked away from the experience lighter in spirit. Dana is a very special person, the sort that seems so grounded that she should have roots delving deep into the earth rather than simple human feet. She has combined this remarkable personal trait with the practice of Reiki and achieved a wonderful balance. My first visit with Dana will certainly not be my last. I have a lot to learn through her and from Reiki. I can’t recommend her highly enough.” – Meredith Gertz, Atlanta

“Dana is an inspiring and enthusiastic Reiki teacher. She created a superb educational environment for us and paid close attention to our personal and learning needs. I really appreciate that she limited the class size so that we each had more time for hands-on practice and individual questions. An all-round five-star experience. Thanks, Dana!” – Valerie Summers, Decatur

“Having experienced chronic pain in my hip for many years, any promise of help is worth investigating.  Chiropractic and massage have been very helpful, but some days there is just no relief.  Out of curiosity and desperation one weekend, I went to a 20 minute Saturday session.  I couldn’t even lay flat on the table, my hip hurt so badly. By the time I got up, there was no pain at all.  That 20 minutes bought me 3 pain-free days!  I’ll definitely be back for more reiki!  Thanks, Dana!” – Jenn Purdy, CLD; Decatur

“My experience with Dana has been a great one. When I first started out I was a bit skeptical. Dana accurately pinpointed my problem chakra areas and definitely helped with their healing. Her calm demeanor puts me at great ease. She also gives me great advice of things that can help outside of session. I came to Dana at a point of chaos and she has definitely brought a lot of peace back into my life. ” – Quarean Gray, Atlanta
