“The seminar involved a good mix of practical work and theory allowing me to understand the meaning and value of what I learnt and did during the seminar. The practical work also allowed me a hands-on experience which was well explained making it easy for anyone to understand. Overall, I found the seminar to be very interesting and well explained and I learnt a lot about Reiki and its tradition.”
Liam, Edinburgh
“I recently completed my Reiki 1 (Shoden) training with Laure and it was an incredibly beautiful experience. Laure is encouraging, engaged, and supportive with each session. It is clear that she has a passion for the art of Reiki as well as a passion for sharing her knowledge and practice. She brings deep peace and presence in her teaching, which is so easily felt at each moment. Laure created a special space for learning and spiritual discovery, and also for making new friends. It was a remarkable experience that I’ll never forget. Whether it be for personal or professional reasons, I highly recommend Laure’s Reiki course. She’s simply wonderful!”
Ellie, Edinburgh
“When I did some reiki on mum last week she was like, “woah, what are you doing, I can’t feel any pain”!!! OMG! So basically, my biggest thanks for allowing me to learn from you!”
Stacey, Edinburgh
“This was my first venture into energy work, having been a remedial massage therapist for 17 years. Laure creates a welcoming relaxed environment to learn in. The course it’s self is really interesting. I wasn’t a sceptic, but unsure if I could engage with energy work. There was no need to think that. I look forward to practising reiki. A really enjoyable 3 days.”
Dawn, Edinburgh
“Thank you for your teaching and sharing your lovely energy with me.”
