I loved my treatment with Andy and highly recommend him to anyone feeling energetically out of alignment. He has a beautiful grounding energy and is a healing gem in the heart of Surry Hills!

🌟 Tennille Lung said:
My first time Reiki session was a wonderful experience. Andy was incredibly welcoming, professional and had a warm and calming energy. I appreciated him taking the time to understand my needs and ensure I felt comfortable throughout. I left feeling very relaxed and calm, like I had just completed a deeply rejuvenating meditation session. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a holistic approach to relaxation and well-being.

🌟 May Z said:
It was my first reiki experience and I was quite skeptical going in but I was willing to give it a go as I have been feeling very tensed and anxious lately. Andy welcomed me and explained how the session will go. After my reiki session, I felt very calm, relaxed, and super energised. Thank you, Andy for your amazing work. 🙏🏼 Will definitely be going back.

🌟 Liwei Yang said:
I was feeling tense and clenched before my session with Andy. I wanted to open up to Reiki and see if I wanted to pickup my Reiki practice again since it had been years since I last practiced. After the session, I felt the clenched parts of me release and my energy channels open up to flow. I felt serenity, ease, happiness, and spaciousness during my session. And moved about my day at a slower pace afterward. I will be picking up my Reiki practice now that I’ve had a lovely session. I love that Andy summarized the session through a reflection email — it was helpful for me! The reiki room, music, and tea were also great!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a reiki session with Andy. His beautiful home felt like an oasis of calm in my busy week with soft lighting, soothing music, and warm, aromatic tea! The whole ambiance really helped me to relax and be fully immersed in the healing experience. It’s clear that Andy really takes pride in the work he does, and he took the time to understand my needs and what I was hoping to achieve from the experience. His attentiveness and genuine care were really appreciated and the treatment itself left me feeling very relaxed, calm and balanced. If you’re looking for a great reiki practitioner, I highly recommend booking a session with Andy.

I understand why he only has 5 star reviews. If you are someone who tries so many things to heal yourself and improve your health. Just try 1 session. Nothing will prepare you for it.

🌟 Temi Ol said:
This is literally – *by far* – the *best* reiki practitioner in the country and for sure one of the best in the western world. Absolutely astonishingly powerful practitioner. His demeanor is pragmatic, calm, emphathetic. Space amazing and safe. Book for absolute transformative healing!!!!

Eight reviews on Fresha for Reiki Surry Hills

My reviews appear on both Google Listings and on my booking website, Fresha, with a review seldomly on my Facebook page!

I think it’s a good idea to repost both of them, just in case it’s easier for potential clients to find them here on my website, rather than through Fresha or Google. I’d rather not post my replies to the reviews, but I think it’s not worth it to try to edit them out!

On Fresha, I currently have 75 reviews with an average 5-star rating.

Book review: Justin Stein’s Alternate Currents: Reiki’s Circulation in the 20th Century North Pacific

I do book reviews sometimes on my personal website, but this review more appropriately belongs here on my reiki website!

I’d certainly recommend it to anyone who practices reiki, though I think it’s too comprehensive for people who are reiki clients or who have just a passing interest in reiki.

I really loved it!

Alternate Currents: Reiki’s Circulation in the Twentieth-Century North PacificAlternate Currents: Reiki’s Circulation in the Twentieth-Century North Pacific by Justin B Stein
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve practised reiki for probably over two decades, and have been giving treatments for over a decade. I didn’t expect to be so engaged by what looks like a fairly academic book about reiki. Stein tells the story of reiki’s development with a focus on Hawayo Takata, who really was the person who brought reiki from Japan and then seeded it through the North Pacific, from which it has now gone worldwide. And he tells it so well that it is accessible and engaging, and felt to me at times like a good novel!

I was actually quite challenged by the book, in a good way, to realise that the way I have been explaining reiki to my clients has particular historical roots and that the notion of a ‘traditional’ or ‘Japanese’ reiki is too simplistic. Reiki developed in many locations and many ways, so I think we really can’t say that there is one form that is more pure than others. I also realise that some of the way that I explain reiki seemed to historically come from a desire to promote reiki and get its acceptance. I think I’m going to embrace more and accept the mystery of reiki henceforth.

Congratulations to Justin Stein for such a fascinating, engaging and useful book. I definitely recommend it to any reiki practitioner to have a better understanding and context for their own practice.
