Testimonials

I thought the course [Reiki 1] was very well organized and I liked the approach of having the text and CD beforehand. This gave you the basics so that the focus of the day was discussion and practice.

On the day it was great to progress with the energy exercises and empowerments to a full Reiki treatment (it was just as nice to give as to receive!).

I was fortunate as the group were very open to sharing their experiences which made for an interesting day!

I thought value for money, the teacher and the venue were excellent.

I hope to do Reiki 2 in the future.

The day was mind blowing, Irene was once again a delight and a wonderful tutor. She made us feel welcome and spent time with all 3 of us students. The course materials were enjoyable and educational. The day seemed to go so quickly. Reiki has changed me for the better.

I found that the Deepening Course really did what it said: it deepened my experience of reiki and widened my horizons by showing me even more ways that I could apply the energy in my life. It has really enhanced my self-healing. For the first two weeks since the course, I felt a general sense of dissatisfaction and disenchantment with life, getting easily frustrated. I feel that this is the energy showing me which aspects of my life I need to send more energy to! I trust the energy and know that this phase will pass when I am ready. As a result of taking this course, I am more sensitive to the energy. I already feel that my hands warm up much quicker and are hotter when I do the meditations. With each vowel sound of the kotodama that I pronounce, I feel a difference in my hands. I feel ho on my heart chakra, ku in my solar plexus, e in my throat and i in my third eye! I am much more comfortable when working with intent now. I had never realized how intuitive I could be until I went on this course. It has really boosted my confidence in my ability as a healer and now reiji ho is my preferred method of treating. I also enjoyed the fact that we got to try to see chakras on the day-course. This opened up another avenue of possibility for me as a way that I could be a better healer. Irene was a fantastic teacher, as always. She was so supportive and encouraging to me on the day of the course. Her infectious enthusiasm for all things spiritual was the best thing about the course! Thanks so much.

The course was fantastic. I received the course materials well in advance and had time to read and digest the information. I also had time to try and meditate according to the instructions and CD's. I found this really helpful as I was well prepared for the actual day. Irene was very welcoming and having a small group was a bonus, which meant we had plenty of times for discussion and questions. Having gone through the home study pack, it meant that we could spend more time on the practical and receiving empowerments, and my mind was clear for receiving them. If I had to have the theory on the day, my mind would have been overloaded with information. From the home study pack, I could learn the Daily exercises and self treatments, but it wasnt until my course with Irene where she gave me confidence in what I was doing. She enabled me to clear my mind and become more receptive when carrying out the treatments. She also gave me confidence when working on other people. It has changed me as a person and my husband has noticed I am not as stressed as I used to be. I am looking forward to my second degree course.

I was very pleased with everything about the course. The home study was excellently put together taking into account that everyone learns differently. The CDs were very clear to understand and made it very easy to work with. My tutor Irene was simply a lovely person and made the day course very enjoyable, so much the time seemed to fly by. She was a excellent tutor and had time to answer any questions we asked, I hope if I go on to do my masters that would be has good as she was. Well I am definitely going on to do my second degree.

Thank You

I found the whole Reiki First Degree course amazingly brilliant; the home study manual and CDs are a really great idea; having time before the live course to take in all the information and being able to really think it through and to be able to practice the Reiki Meditations is fantastic.

Having had this information and the experiences, I found the live course with Irene amazing. She was lovely, made us all feel relaxed, treated us as individuals, listened and answered our questions. The whole experience was quite mind blowing and I'm really looking forward to the Second Degree course with Irene, I'm just realising i knew so little about myself and now i have so much to look forward to, being able to help others and ease the suffering of the animals.

Reiki has made me feel so much stronger, more positive and has given me the drive to use what I've learnt to make a difference!

I was very happy with the quality of the course manual and the CD. I especially liked the details about setting up your own Reiki practice as I thought they were very helpful. I attended the live 1 day course with Irene Forsyth in York. I found it quite intense, with lots to pack in, but run in a friendly and professional manner. I think Irene is an excellent and approachable teacher who is very experienced in the Reiki field and is very caring of her students.

I have found the Reiki Evolution training both in First and Second Degrees, to be excellent in all aspects, and I like the fact that if I need follow-up help or have any questions or concerns, I can still contact both teachers at any time. As such, it feels like I have joined a 'Reiki Family'!

I very much enjoyed Reiki 2. Many of the exercises helped deepen my understanding and confidence. ... I feel a definite step forward with Reiki 2. The course, teaching, content and company were all very valuable.
— Peter Ellis, May 2009
Overall this course has exceeded my expectations. The course material is well thought out and presented in a user-friendly way. The CD complements the written material, and there is adequate information to prepare the student for the live day course.

Irene is a joy to train with! She is so warm and open hearted, ensuring that everybody was made to feel welcome and a valued member of the day. She set the pace well — plenty of opportunities to ask questions and have discussions as necessary — her gentle, yet assertive, method of teaching was, for me, a really positive experience, and it is this that has given me the confidence to treat 4 people (and two goldfish!) since Sunday.

Thank you once again for another lovely course. I really enjoyed it and found the whole experience uplifting. The course content was excellent, very informative and gave great insight into the precepts and concepts of Reiki, and also the workings of Reiki. I find this beautiful treatment so special because it is for everything and everybody and with it being non invasive, acceptable to each and everyone of us at anytime and anywhere. Thank you immeasurably, Irene.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course, it was interesting and extremely informative. It definitely met and exceeded my expectations. The manual and CD were extremely helpful, and excellent teaching and reference resource. Irene was a wonderful teacher whose enthusiasm and passion for Reiki transcends to the student.

The day was not only educational but also great fun, where the learning environment is calm, friendly and relaxed. I look forward to the Reiki Deepening course in a few months.
