"I has been only one week after my Reiki I & II Training and the Reiki I am giving my family is going great! My older son (age 17) struggles with anxiety and sleeplessness at times. I did some Reiki on him one night before bed and he said he felt great and slept well. A few days ago, I did some Reiki on my younger son (age 15). He was skeptical, but let me do it anyway. He told me while I had my hands by his crown and forehead, he felt a pulling and pushing on his head even though I wasn't touching him.
Thanks again SO
much! You are an amazing facilitator. I definitely had a healing while in
class and it has made a positive change in my life already. You're REALLY
great at what you do!"

"When one of my friends told me that she was getting Reiki treatments for her Lupus, I had no clue what it was. Before she started the treatments, she was so exhausted her husband had to help her dress and undress. Shortly after the treatments started, she regained her energy and was quickly back to her normal activities. Reiki is doing for her what the medications could not. It gave her her life back.
Shortly afterward, Cyndy was giving Reiki demos at a scrapbooking event so I decided to check it out. Even with a large room full of chatting women, I felt very calm and relaxed. Afterward, Cyndy and I spoke at length about Reiki. My husband suffers from Fibromyalgia in addition to unbearable pain from a career ending back injury. If there was a way I could help him by relieving some of the pain, I was all for it. When she told me more about the treatments and said anyone can learn it, I listened intently. When she told me I could use it with my 4 cats, I was sold!
At the time, my job was causing stress-related headaches and I was constantly exhausted. I knew I needed to make changes to relieve stress in my life and I wanted to get back to enjoying my life more. Changing jobs was out of the question and I needed to find a way to handle the stress, not run away from it. My husband and I each went for treatments with Cyndy and for the next few days we experienced unbelievable relaxation and increased energy. I knew right then I needed to become a Reiki Practitioner.
That was almost a year ago. Since then I have completed my Reiki I, II and Advanced Reiki training. Besides helping my husband, my cats, and a friend here and there, I have greatly improved my own well being. I am calmer and more focused. I have more energy than if I did an exercise program and the energy lasts throughout the day. When faced with a stressful situation, I am able to handle it with serenity instead of the quick emotional reaction I use to have. Each day I do a morning Reiki meditations and often one or more of my cats joins me. My 16-year old cat, who suffers from a life-long heart condition, is my usual partner. She knows the word “Reiki” and is an eager participant. She often “tells” me where she wants the treatment by moving into my hands. It was a special moment when she just sat still and laid her head in my hand, totally relaxed with Reiki.
Cyndy is an excellent Reiki Master with her gentle voice and sense of humor. You can tell she totally enjoys helping others. She is constantly expanding her own training and is eager to share it with her students. I am looking forward to my upcoming Master Reiki training with her with excitement and anticipation. Thank you, Cyndy, for helping me on my light working journey."

"I originally wanted to learn Reiki because my oldest daughter, who is now 19, has suffered from Fibromyalgia and its many effects since she was 9 years old. I hoped that Reiki could be a way to help her feel better without the use of medicines that weren't working anyway. Reiki has become much more than just that for me.
I decided to take Reiki I & II Training and see what it was all about. Cyndy was a wonderful teacher and I met some wonderful new friends through our class. I began doing Reiki for the family, with some great results. I decided to take the other classes to become a Reiki Master. During one class, I looked out the window and a deer had walked up very close to where we were practicing and then peacefully walked away. Then, during our Master Reiki attunement, a trout in the stream kept swimming by and making its presence known. It was an awesome and touching experience for me. I love nature and this was like a double sign that I was where I needed to be.
I am currently trying to start a small Reiki practice from my home. I have helped my daughter with headaches she had been having and also helped her friend with some post pregnancy issues. (Ones I did not know about until after the session when I told her what I felt as I was giving her Reiki.) She was amazed and said the next day she felt much better.
Last year, on my youngest daughter's 11th birthday, she became a Reiki I Practitioner. She loves animals and loves Reiki so her father and I gave her a surprise birthday gift and took her to see Cyndy. We are so proud of her love of animals and wanting to help them, as well as, help with relieving some of her sister's pain.
Reiki has been a true blessing. My son recently got married and I performed a beautiful Reiki Blessing Ceremony as part of their wedding ceremony. It was a wonderful time and I believe they will truly be blessed.
Thank you Cyndy !!!"

After receiving my Reiki attunements and training, I didn't waste a moment incorporating Reiki into my everyday life. It's as essential to my well-being as food, water and sleep. I began by treating myself daily and started in the following week by giving Reiki to friends and family. I was pleasantly surprised at the overwhelmingly positive response and interest people have expressed toward receiving Reiki. Many of the people I know who've had a passing interest now want to learn more about it, and a few have them have interest in receiving the training themselves.
A few weeks after training, I decided to offer Reiki treatments on a volunteer basis to a local wellness program, and it has been met with great enthusiasm and interest. This too has been a transformative experience for which I am deeply grateful. Each person lying on the table before me has their own unique history, healing needs, energetic vibrations, and I am committed to being an open channel for their healing. It's a humbling experience, and one that has opened me up to deeper levels of love and compassion.
My whole life has begun to change in dramatic ways...the energies have shifted. Wonderful, new experiences and relationships are beginning to flow into my life, and every day this beautiful energy is growing."
