Testimonials
" When I first started going to the Reiki Share I didn't know what to expect. How I was going to feel. But I was made so welcome with no-one expecting anything from me. In the meditation circle I felt so at ease. Everyone with the same likes and no-one judging you. I felt the energy flow so quickly that I was surprised it felt amazing and we were all connected. I attended the share for eight months before I did my Reiki Shoden then the first week after I had completed my Reiki Shoden the energy was a lot more powerful and all week I had the energy coming to me when I was near others that needed healing or if I needed a healing myself. I have started feeling complete and secure within myself since completing my Reiki Shoden.
I'm not as tied or as quick tempered which is great".

"I received a gift certificate for Annie's shop, didn't know what to buy!
Went into the shop met Annie she welcomed me straight away!
Through talking with Annie I decided to get a Reiki healing which was the best thing I had ever done I really enjoyed it, well that was me hooked!
Annie told me about her workshops and I went along met all different people, who went on to become my Reiki friends!
I have done Shoden (level 1) and also Okuden (level 2) and it is the most wonderful time in my life, I have learned so much about myself, even things I didn't know about, and it is all through Annie who has taught me so much and helped me.
She is a good Reiki master (she doesn't like the word master).
Reiki changed my life for the better I had some personal issues which I have worked through and without Reiki I believe I wouldn't have moved on and become the person I am today !
We have a weekly share which is fab! We get together and have a good gab and there is loads of laughter and fun and then we carry on to our Reiki!"

I have attended a Reiki Attunement with Annie for Reiki Okuden
At home with Annie is just that because one feels just at home, comfortable and secure.
You soon become aware of the level of knowledge that this lady has about Reiki and how she lives her life in accordance with its principals.
Annie has a special presence and feels with her students. She is very supportive and giving of her time, energy and love.
I have also attended the Reiki Shares where our Reiki Family are welcoming, supportive and it feels so good to have the encouragement and ongoing support from Annie who keeps everyone up to date with information and knowledge.
During these sessions one learns to increase and develop energy which not only helps our Reiki energy but assists in our own personal development and coping skills.
I am fortunate to call my teacher Annie a friend and know that anyone coming to her courses will love her and benefit greatly from the experience.

During my career as a nurse I worked with a friend who suffered badly from muscle and bone pain. She tried all the pain killer routes and then attended a Reiki session where she gained some relief from the pain this made her go on and work her way up to Reiki master along with her mother who went to learn how to treat her. I started attending them for Reiki sessions and found great help in the treatments which made me wish to do Reiki and then I met Annie a few years later and Annie gave me my Reiki attunement for Okuden level. I cannot describe how this has helped me physically and mentally. The friendships I have made attending the Reiki share every Thursday night are all special. You are always made to feel welcome and at ease and I look forward to my time on a Thursday night. Thank you Annie for being such a wonderful person and teacher.

Hi, my name is Mary and I've been trained by my wonderful teacher Annie to Shinpiden ( Teacher) Level of the system of Reiki.
It was fate that brought me to our Reiki Share at Waterloo. I had painful health problems and walked with the aid of elbow
crutches for almost 5yrs and not coping too well mentally and physically. For months I kept hearing the word Reiki mentioned
as a Therapy i.e; in magazines, a TV program and even an overheard conversation in a coffee shop but I had,had not a clue what this
" Reiki" was. It was,wasn't until I met Janet and Fiona at a spiritualist church meeting that I got a little insight into it. They just waked
up to me, a total stranger, and invited me along.
I have NOT looked back.
From that first night when I felt the Reiki energy in my hands and met the people who were to become fond friends, I knew this was for me. It was the fact I could physically feel the energy that totally blew me away and made it more real for me, and I felt for the for the first time a glimmer of hope. I had tried everything else to ease my pain and calm my mind, from pain meds, acupuncture and physiotherapy
to self help books..... So what did I have to lose....?
For 8 consecutive weeks I had Reiki Therapy at our Reiki Share. After 6wks, I noticed I had less pain and walking was easier
and I only needed a small walking stick to aid me, after another 2wks, I threw it away. The relief was immense. After all those
years I could walk down the street without catching pitiful glances. it felt amazing.
I was so impressed, I decided after two weeks I had to learn all I could about the system of Reiki, and so my Reiki journey began. i worked my
way through the levels to where I am today. A much happier and healthier person. I have had many trials and tribulations in my life, past and present and these of course had contributed to my health issues.
With the system of Reiki, we learn coping mechanisms through meditation, healing and state of mind, to make such issues easier to live with and this consequently has an effect on us and those around us, as we are calmer and in more control of our every day lives.
I love working with Reiki energy. I love working with the people I meet through Reiki and the help it gives to others.
But best of all for the first time in years. ....I love being me
