 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience learning Reiki 1 with Mara and Reiki 2 with Catherine, and I’m looking forward to continuing with the Reiki Master training. I’ve had many Reiki sessions in my life but I did not know how life-changing it is to receive the attunements. What it feels like to me is that it balances and calms my energy system so that life begins to flow in magical ways.

I had ReiKi level one with Mara and I can say that it was a really amazing experience since I found Mara to be a professional and caring and very knowledgeable person and she definitely knows what she is doing, provides you with the exact knowledge you need to know, has a very good teaching approach and her class is really fun and productive, you feel connected and attentive in her class and I really enjoyed every second of it.
Thank you Mara and I wish you the best.
I also had ReiKi level two with Catherine  and I can say that I enjoyed every second of it. You feel lots of good vibes , positive and bright energies alongside love,yes you will definitely feel love and kindness cause I found Catherine a pure and genuine person.Not only a fantastic person she is with a great personality but also a wonderful teacher. The way she teaches ReiKi is through her heart and that is a valuable thing for a ReiKi master.God bless you Catherine.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I completed Reiki I and II with Catherine and it was a truly amazing experience. Catherine was a fantastic instructor and was so patient with all of my questions. She made me feel comfortable and empowered on this journey as I've developed a deep passion for Reiki - that is all thanks to her! I can't wait for Reiki Master and I'm also signed up for additional courses at Four Directions Wellness because I had such a fantastic experience with Catherine. Thank you for all you do!
