Testimonials

My experience taking Reiki Level I, 2 & 3 was amazing. Karina’s teaching style is  gentle, thoughtful, nurturing, and engaging. Through guided meditations, intention setting, hands-on practice, and healing, they introduced the beautiful healing modality of Reiki. She made it very comfortable to share information and ask questions. Kia’s pranayama breathing and Kundalini yoga movements made the workshops even more enjoyable, transformative and energizing.

Thank you, Karina ( Kia) I am immensely grateful to have been put on the path to this knowledge and look forward to practicing and bringing this energy for the people and all living things. Thank you for your calmness, quiet strength, and compassion. I couldn't wish for better teachers than you two beautiful, powerful women!

Kia radiates creativity, fun and  “joy de vivre”. I have never met anyone who has so much energy and positivity as this lady. She is go a getter, a person who sees opportunities amidst obstacles. When I first met her I was inspired by her, and while I would encounter people in the yoga community who were too religious and serious about it, Kia reminded to have fun. I just remember thinking ‘whatever this lady is doing I want to do!" This is the effect I have seen that she has on people, she is a yoga gangster, a spiritual gangster and a friend and inspiration.

Taking Reiki 1 and 2 with Karina ( Kia) has been an absolute joy. I feel so fortunate to have found their training and to have chosen to get my Reiki certification with them. Karina is an amazing teacher with a beautiful, healing, peaceful energy and a simple way of teaching this healing energy that makes you feel like you are a natural at Reiki right from the beginning. Now that I’ve been to this studio. I will definitely be back for reiki circles and yoga.

Karina created and held a safe and open space. Just from Saturday I’ve learned so much with the guidance of Karina. Most importantly she has encouraged and ignited positive shift that I know will spread on to everyone around me.

My level 1 experience was great! Both teachers are very knowledgeable and kind. Learning Reiki was a big step, so making sure I did with the right people was important. Karina is the right person ! And the group of women in my group were also amazing! I am very glad I did this and highly recommend this to anyone wanting to work with Reiki.

It was truly amazing. I felt really good almost immediately. I look forward to joining Reiki 2 and eventually becoming a Reiki Master. This is definitely worth it. Thank you for the opportunity.

I really loved learning about the history of Reiki and coming attuned to this healing universal life force energy. I felt a huge shift in my aura and am looking forward to practicing more. Today is the first day of a new chapter in self healing for me.

I felt a strong pull to take a Reiki class and when I saw an ad for this class I knew I had to take it. I had only read books and experienced virtual Reiki prior to taking their class. After taking their first 2 classes, blockages I didn’t even know I had dissipated. I have never felt such profound healing. I couldn’t recommend Karina enough. I am so grateful the universe led me to this class. Thank you so much for your gentle guidance.

Dear Kia,
I want to say thank you for the wonderful Level 1 and Level 2 Reiki trainings. I found out my grandmother was likely going to pass over the weekend of Level 2 and I was fortunate to learn how to send distant healing just in time. I felt that part of my purpose was to help my grandmother find healing and peace and I sent it on Monday and she passed on Tuesday. Although we will miss her, I strongly believe it was meant to happen this way. I am looking forward to the Reiki Master class on the 22nd. Thank you again!

Yours truly,

I am so very thankful for Karina guiding me through this weekend. Reiki level 1 and 2 was an experience I will hold with sacredness. Her guidance to the group was essential and her attitude was very neutral through the whole experience! Her ability to connect with us and the reiki was so amazing and helpful. From the history of reiki to performing the reiki I felt that this experience was right for me and my soul. Sat Nam.
