A review from a first-time client: Reiki Surry Hills

Posted on by

Here’s a nice review from a first-time reiki client:

I really liked my first Reiki session. It made me feel so calm, relaxed and lighter during the session and even after.

I had a very deep sleep that night and woke up feeling quite rejuvenated.

To be honest, I’m not sure if I could feel its effect after day 2 but I’m still amazed with the overall experience.

As I’d explained, how long you feel the effects of the treatment is quite variable (and varies between session and person). Some people only feel the effects during the treatment (hopefully a positive feeling of how the energy is moving around, and usually feeling deeply relaxed). Others feel the effects for the rest of the day or into the next day. Some people seem to feel the effects into the next few days, or the treatment is the marker of a turning point, getting past a bad issue or the start of healing.

As I mentioned in one of my other blog posts, there’s also the phenomenon I’ve noticed lately that is happening with a big minority of clients (maybe one-third!) where they have a period after the treatment of feeling either run-down or tired or more emotional. All that energy stirred up can take a while for the body to adjust. But then, happily, afterwards, they feel better than before.

How to find me: Reiki Surry Hills

Posted on by

My online booking service, Bookwell, is letting me share some of the photos they took for my listing on their website.

So, to start with, if you need help finding Reiki Surry Hills, here’s what the building looks like! The entrance is next to the mailboxes!

I love Surry Hills but it is rather easy to get lost. Many clients spend time wandering around, trying to find their way. Little Riley Street has two parts and stops and starts, so sometimes that is confusing for clients. The same thing for Mackey Street, which goes right next to our building, then stops and continues on the other side of Riley Street. And folks have also gotten lost on the other side of Riley Street on Ann Street.

The easiest thing to do is to use google maps and to follow the instructions that I send you by SMS exactly!

Also, in case you’re driving, there is sometimes parking available on Mackey Street, just before or right across from the entrance to the building!

Latest reviews of Reiki Surry Hills

Posted on by

I feel pretty happy when I get good feedback, both for my clients, to know that reiki was useful, and for me, to know I could help out!

I’ve been a bit lax in terms of blogging so far in 2017! But then again, it’s not bad to be both relaxed… and to not be too hard on oneself!

I’ve had some great feedback from clients this year so far.

Here is some of the feedback that I’ve received recently:

‘I loved it. For two days after my treatment, I felt I was on a natural high. I had the ability to block out negative thoughts and vibes from others. My overall being was at peace.’

‘I honestly still feel the best I have felt in years, I’m lost for words at just how good that whole experience was.’

‘I felt fantastic… so calm. Something I haven’t felt in a very long time’

‘The experience was amazing… I feel more connected with myself.’

‘In terms of my confidence and negative thoughts I did feel like something left me that day (only way I can describe it) that I let go’

‘I am coming from dealing with long-term issues in my life. It was hard all those years to take a decision and this treatment is helping me to focus more in what it is more important to decide..’

I also had these two amazing reviews left on my Facebook page:

‘Amazing experience and so happy that I received relief immediately after the treatment as I was suffering from stress related painful migraines. I feel so relaxed, happy and completely zen, balanced and recharged.’

‘When I woke up the day after my reiki session with Andy, I felt like all my negative thoughts and emotions were millions of miles away and I was able to finally let things go. It would be an understatement to say it was amazing… It was absolutely wonderful…’

As you can tell, it’s an interesting mix of feedback. Some of it is about just feeling more relaxed, some about letting go of negativity, some of it about achieving more clarity.

In the interest of fairness, I also heard from a few clients who felt more anxious, emotional or physically drained the next day, but then it smoothed out the day after… and another client who felt ‘the same, not much difference’.

It’s also true that those who don’t find their treatment as effective may be less likely to give me feedback (although some people could have fantastic results and also not give feedback). But in general, I’m happy to hear great results from many clients!

If you recognise your words above, thanks for them and I hope you don’t mind that I’ve reposted the reviews without names! Let me know if you don’t want it here, or if you’d like to put your name with the feedback. THANK YOU.

Online booking now available

Posted on by

The latest news from Reiki Surry Hills is that I’ve set up online booking through Bookwell. Bookwell is working with the health, wellness and beauty sector to make it easier for clients in Sydney to book appointments.

While you can visit their page directly to book a haircut, manicure or reiki appointment, they’ve also facilitated me to allow online bookings through my contact page here, though I’ve also snuck a ‘Book Online’ button onto my front page too.

I invite you to check it out! A lovely photographer came by and took some great shots of the space and reiki room, and it’s an easy option for some. Of course, if you prefer to chat about when you can come, and some more personal contact, it’s just as easy for you to call, SMS or email, but this gives you another way to come and enjoy the wellness of reiki.

How clients find me! Reiki Surry Hills

I love how clients find me.

It seems mysterious but I suppose it’s not. After all, my website is pretty easy to find on Google. The closest train station to me is Central. There are a lot of people who live or work near Surry Hills.

But I still find it a bit magical. There are quite a few other reiki practitioners in Sydney (I’ve been working my way up the google rankings, and at the moment am halfway down the second page!).

So, it does require clients to find me somehow. During these last busy months, I’ve found that I’ve been getting good word of mouth, where clients are referring me to their friends, or even enthusiastically giving their friends treatments as gifts. One client treated two of his staff members. Another client sent her lawyer for a treatment. And another brought not one but both of her sisters!

I also have been building up a nice group of return clients. As you’ll know if you come for a treatment, I always send a follow-up email, and sometimes two, and try to keep in touch. At the same time, my clients are able to notice the positive changes and benefits for themselves, and then make the time to come in again when it feels right to have another treatment.

Most of my clients come from Google searches, and to add to that, a fair number have come in because of the positive reviews (thanks reviewers!). I can see that these clients are happy to do some research, and they want to make sure if they come in for a treatment that it’s a practice that is trusted and receives good feedback. I myself wouldn’t trust a business as much if they don’t have any reviews at all, and at the same time, I’ve noticed at least one other reiki business that has fake reviews (all the same language but different names of reviewers!). But I think people can spot fake reviews pretty easily.

I spend so much time on Facebook in my personal life that I thought that I might get clients from my Facebook page, but to tell the truth, I’m not sure if anyone’s ever come through Facebook, though I’ve had some enquiries.

A number of people come because it’s the most convenient location for them, since it’s pretty much walking distance from Potts Point, Darlinghurst, Redfern and even the city. Some clients have been visiting Sydney and staying in accommodation (or having meetings) close by). One client lives farther away but combines a treatment with visiting her parents who live closeby! But a recent client decided to treat herself to a few hours in the city and came all the way from the Shire.

Finally, it’s nice to know that clients come because they’ve visited my webpage and get a good feel from it. I’ve had a number of clients say that they liked the vibe of the site, or that they’d visited other reiki websites and didn’t really click with either the way reiki was described, or the reiki practitioners themselves. It’s not to say that one reiki practitioner will be better than another, but certainly if you like the energy that you get from my website (and Facebook page), then you’ll hopefully also like my energy in person. It’s important when having a treatment to be able to feel comfortable and safe.

In any case, however you find me, I’m glad! I look forward to seeing you for your next reiki treatment!

This photo was taken from the inside of a car wash! It's not a bad analogy; a reiki treatment can feel like a really good clean!

September has been a nicely busy month for reiki treatments!

Here is some of the feedback that I’ve received recently:

‘I’m glad I found you.’

‘I felt really grounded and calm after my session.’

‘I felt great after the treatment… re-energized’

‘Slept better than I have in ages. I feel more balanced and just lighter somehow.’

‘I found it really interesting how I felt wide awake the whole time, but my mind, rather than racing (which it normally does) was very purposefully moving from challenge to challenge, and creating ways in which to solve them.  I felt very focused and calm during this process.’

‘I certainly have noticed a great improvement with my anxiety. Following the treatment I felt my mind was clear and it’s helped me gain extra clarity.’

‘It really felt like everything that wasn’t serving me was just “moved on”‘

Review: Helping to solve problems with reiki in Sydney

Posted on by

I think if someone wants certainty, then a reiki treatment won’t be quite right for them. Aside from setting the intent that a client will take from the client what she or he needs, there’s no guarantee that a treatment will fix a physical problem, or a worry or an issue.

But I guess that’s true of most treatments, or perhaps, most situations in life.

What I do know is that when clients give themselves the gift of a treatment, it means they are taking a positive step to do something good for themselves, and if they have an issue, a movement towards addressing that issue.

Relaxing, though perhaps problem-solving at the same time!

Relaxing, though perhaps problem-solving at the same time!

Then, by relaxing in a safe, healing space, even without the reiki, it’s a good thing for people. Most people are busy in their lives, have too much stress and don’t get enough sleep.

At the same time, I’m always pleased to hear back from clients about what their experience was. Here’s some comments from Lou, a new client. I love how her reiki treatment helped her work through some challenges and problems in her life, during the treatment, and we’ll see how it continues! I’ll ask Lou for some more feedback in the next days. Thanks, Lou, for your feedback:

‘I found it really interesting how I felt wide awake the whole time, but my mind, rather than racing (which it normally does) was very purposefully moving from challenge to challenge, and creating ways in which to solve them.  I felt very focused and calm during this process.’

Review: ‘Heartfelt gratitude’

Posted on by

I’m not quite sure what’s happening in the universe or world at the moment, but I’ve had so many reiki clients lately, including some wonderful women who have been also bringing their friends.

I really enjoyed giving a treatment to Brie, and afterwards, I was blown away by her positive description of what happened. Also, she’d twisted her ankle a few days before, and we were both surprised how much the treatment helped.

She wrote this wonderful review on my Facebook page, which is too nice not to share here too:

‘Oh em geee! My life will forever be blessed by this treatment and experience. Something out of this world happens through this master of whatever it is that he does. I will personally send every person that I know and meet to Andy. Since my session I can not explain the heartfelt gratitude that I feel for everything in my life and the visions that I had in my session will stay with me forever. I sent my friend there, and we cried all the way home in the uber and we are not even sure why. They were tears of relief and it was such a gift to us to be healed by such a talented and humble man. Yes, I realise it was reiki but I feel that it is something more.’

Testimonial: ‘A powerful effect’

Posted on by
Since returning from Paris in May, I’ve had a nice group of steady clients. I checked in on one former client and found she’s moved back to the UK, but she gave me permission to post her reiki story.
 
My client, H, came for a treatment, feeling a lot of pressure and stress from her work.
 
After the treatment, she told me ‘I really felt a shift after the Reiki, that same evening and felt the heaviness and confusion start to lift and I cried and cried but it felt like I needed to!
 
Then in the days after I felt much better and was inspired to follow a new career path which has got me really excited. Thinking about moving towards that has given me lots of confidence and energy, and I’m starting to plan how to make it happen.
 
The session really helped me to get everything on track, to get me unstuck, and see clearly again.
 
It’s amazing how it works, it seems to have a powerful effect on me!’
 
I can’t promise the same results for everyone but this is a great example of the positive effects of a reiki treatment.

Away 18 Feb–23 May & report from the start of 2016

Posted on by

The end of 2015 and start of 2016 were interesting. Clients came seeking relief from stress,  feeling like a cold was coming on, and emotional turmoil. One client reported feeling very relaxed after the treatment and as if she had big burdens lifted… but has returned after to being stressed out all the time. Another client felt neither better nor worse after the treatment. Another said she felt ‘as balanced as I can be’ and that it was an ‘excellent service’.

AndyQ_64I always find it interesting how different the results are from treatments, and am always happy if I can be of any help. I think generally I found that clients feel relaxed, or energised during the treatment, and have an interesting experience of the energy. But they may have problems maintaining that feeling of well-being after the treatment.

What I emphasise is that someone may feel different effects from a reiki treatment, even between two in the same week or month. Reiki is not a solution to an emotional, psychological or physical problem, but it may provide some help and relief. Some people find it very powerful; others can hardly feel the effects.

I think it’s a great idea if you’re called to try reiki, to try out a treatmet and see how it feels for you. It’s also useful if you can catch yourself before you’re feeling in crisis to make that appointment. If it felt good or useful during or after a treatment, then why not view it as something generally good for yourself, and that could also help head off difficult times, rather than only be used when you’re feeling really terrible.

It’s as good a time as any to say that I’m overseas soon, like last year, and will be unavailable to give treatments between 18 February and 23 May. But don’t be a stranger. Message me if you have any enquiries or want to keep in touch.
