REIKI RETREAT DAY PARTICIPANTS :
"I recently attended Helen's first Reiki Retreat, and I had such a wonderful time. I really enjoyed being part of such a friendly group. I felt there was a good balance of theory and practice which made it an informative but relaxing day. I was worried about the length of the day but it was actually absolutely fine, and I didn't feel particularly tired by the end of the day because of the good pace, and balance of activities (and all the shared reiki healing!). It really did feel like a retreat, emphasis on treat! Thank you Helen. Highly recommend Helen and her training to anyone who is considering it x" Laura Hughes, Reiki Retreat Day, Sept'24 (Facebook Review)

"I thoroughly enjoyed the Reiki Retreat Day—it was an enriching experience packed with valuable information and new ways (to me) of applying Reiki healing. I loved the perfect balance of technical knowledge and practical application, along with the insightful discussions in between. In fact, it’s hard to pick a favorite part because every moment felt so engaging and enlightening.
Throughout the day, I felt deeply connected to Reiki source energy, and that sense of alignment has stayed with me for days afterward. There was also a beautiful sense of connectedness within the wider group—we seemed to come together as a perfect blend of energies, making the experience even more profound.
Although I’ve been a Reiki practitioner for several years, I left with so much additional knowledge. Helen, who is an absolute fountain of wisdom, is an outstanding teacher. I particularly enjoyed experiencing her teaching style, as I intend to embark on my own teaching journey. Her approach resonated with me deeply, and I’ll be taking real inspiration from her to refine and enhance my own teaching abilities.
A truly transformative and inspiring day—thank you!"

TESTIMONIALS
"Since attending Helen’s Reiki Retreat Day, I’ve now had the pleasure of joining her Professional Reiki Practice Workshop, and once again, it was an outstanding experience. This two-day workshop covered everything I needed—and more—to prepare for my final assessment for CNHC registration. Even as an experienced Reiki practitioner, I gained so much new knowledge, and the perfect balance of theory and hands-on practice made the days fly by.
I left feeling deeply uplifted, inspired, and significantly more confident—not just in my own practice, but also in my ability to teach Reiki. The course gave me clear direction on how to structure and complete the write-up for my teaching courses, which had previously felt overwhelming.
Helen’s teaching style continues to impress me. She cultivates such a warm, inclusive learning environment, making sure every student feels comfortable asking questions, sharing insights, and exploring new ideas. She effortlessly brought the group together while maintaining a well-structured schedule that allowed plenty of time for discussions and deep reflection.
One of the most valuable lessons I took away was how to create a learning space where students feel heard, included, and supported. Helen has a gentle yet powerful way of teaching that leaves you wanting to do your best—not out of pressure, but out of genuine respect and appreciation for her wisdom.
I would absolutely attend more CPD training with Helen and plan to do so. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking to deepen their Reiki practice, develop professionally, or embark on their own teaching journey."

The professional practice module was a really excellent experience, and a much needed one in the unregulated world of reiki. I've been in private practice for 10 years as a counsellor and was familiar with much of the material covered, but it was stuff I'd always had to work out on my own before.
I admit I had thought beforehand that it would feel a bit like a tick-box exercise but it really wasn't like that at all. It was so nice to have the guidance and reassurance of someone who had thoroughly researched it all and really knew her stuff! GDPR, privacy policy, record keeping, session structure - it felt so good go through all of this in a supportive learning environment, and I really enjoyed it!
I felt very reassured by the detail we covered everything - reassurance that it is hard to get as a lone worker, with quite minimal reiki training prior to taking Helen's in-depth, quality courses.
Highly recommend this module, as well as the diploma, to anyone who is on the fence. It is 100% worth it, and you get so much more than just a training course. This was such a valuable learning experience, and also another beautiful opportunity to connect with other reiki students, as part of the community that Helen is lovingly building.
