It’s always a pleasure to share my reviews with y’all. A review gives an impression for potential clients of what real people experience in a reiki treatment, and multiple reviews shows a range of experiences. They can also be fun to read for people who’ve been to a treatment, to see what others have said! I’m grateful to anyone who’s taken the time to leave a review for me. It’s much appreciated.

No other pro to go to for an absolutely surreal experience. Everyone experiences this differently, but I certainly felt like a brand new person afterwards. The atmosphere is so ambient and Andy is a tremendously patient listener. I really felt ‘at home’. I will continue regular sessions. I felt very comfortable and at peace. I highly, highly recommend Andy.

🌟 Bella S said:
Andy was very welcoming and took time to listen to my reason’s for booking my session. I felt extremely comfortable with him. He has made his home a beautiful retreat for people seeking help. This was my first Reiki experience and i would highly recommend it to anyone seeking any form of healing. I left my session feeling a lot more at ease with what I’m going through at the moment. As days pass i continue to feel better and stronger. I will definitely be returning for follow up session’s as i feel my soul will truly benefit from this amazing process. Thank you, Andy 🙏

🌟 William S said:
I had a magical experience with Andy!
My first Reiki experience – the massage allowed me to make contact with my energy field and become more conscious of it.
Andy was very welcoming and professional.
Highly recommended!

🌟 Amy S said:
Great experience with Andy. Very calming atmosphere and amazing reiki. 100% recommend him.

🌟 Deborah C said:
Andy is a wonderful and gentle practitioner. I felt at peace and a lot of my pain was gone after I had my first session with him. The place where he practices has a beautiful energy.
I would highly recommend Andy to anyone in need of a reiki session.

🌟 Carmen L said:
Very caring and thorough and made me feel so much better. Thankyou!

🌟 Linda said:
I tried Reiki for the first time with Andy and did not know what to expect. It ended up being a very healing experience. The place feels like a sanctuary the moment you walk in and Andy has this calm, accepting energy that immediately puts you at ease. I fell in and out of deep sleep during the session and felt very rested afterwards. In the days that followed, Andy checked in on me and sent me encouragement. Thank you Andy. I highly recommend his services!

Clients come to relieve stress, anxiety and for many other issues, or to just give reiki a try to see what it does for them. Folks come from all over Sydney and elsewhere to see me. While it’s easiest to get to me from the CBD, Darlinghurst, Paddington, Kings Cross, Redfern and Potts Point, I’m pretty easy to get to from anywhere in Sydney.

As of February 2022, it looks like the Omicron wave of COVID-19 is lessening in Sydney. This period has been a bit quieter for me. I think clients are being somewhat cautious about being out and about; I’ve been doing this too. In this context, I haven’t felt like making too many new blog posts, since we’ve all been a little less active, but perhaps I shall put on my optimistic glasses and try to post a bit more. I’ll start by sharing half a dozen of my first reviews on Fresha, which bought out Bookwell, my old booking service. So far, clients seem to be really enjoying using Fresha, and find it easy to use and book in. My only complaint is that I lost all my Bookwell reviews, as they wouldn’t transfer them over, and I’m discovering now from clients that it’s not particularly easy to leave reviews for me on Fresha. So, if you managed to, special thanks!

So, the latest news, which will only affect some of the clients, is that my booking service, Bookwell, has been bought out by Fresha. I’ve really appreciated Bookwell over the years and it really helped my business. Clients generally find it easier to book online, at their leisure, and the system worked well for me. It’s good to know their team are being absorbed into the new organisation

But now it’s over to Fresha I go (I don’t really have a choice). I’ll need to do some adjustments to my systems around here, although hopefully you won’t notice.

I’ve been told that my reviews from the Bookwell site will stay there, but there will be a link on my profile at Bookwell to make a booking at Fresha instead. Still, it’s a bit of a shame that these amazing reviews won’t be on exactly the same page as my current booking service. I had a 5.0 average rating for 89 reviews. I’m pretty sure I was their best-rated reiki practitioner in Sydney.

In any case, I have diligently copied all of my reviews here into blog posts, over the years, and for posterity, here are my last reviews from Bookwell (they stopped after this because of the Sydney lockdown).

I feel as happy as Jim Carrey looks in this poster, and thankful to so many of my clients who have agreed to leave reviews about their experiences. It makes me feel good about my work to see how a treatment helps a client, and the reviews definitely help bring people to Reiki Surry Hills.

🌟 Sophia said:

Ever since my appointment I’ve felt a shift inside me, for the first time in a while I’ve been able to rest peacefully and not wake up with anxiety. I believe having reiki allowed me to release some blockages that were holding me back that was constantly draining me. I feel a sense of relief, and have been able to focus my mind on other things rather than being stopped because of my anxiety. Since reiki I’ve felt like I’ve taken a next step somewhere into my life. I’m really happy with the results and will definitely be back while I’m in Sydney.

🌟 Leslie said:

Excellent service. Once you get there, you feel immediately relaxed. Andy takes the time to sit with you, have a little chat with a cup of tea to discuss about the reason of your appointment. The treatment is relaxing, and it really helped me to get a better sleep and start to think differently about my anxiety issues. Also, the follow up after the treatment is highly appreciated. Andy really listens to you. I recommend!

🌟 Luis said:

Amazing treatment! Really helped me lift up my energy levels 

🌟 Ken said:

First ever experience of Reiki was with Andy at the end of December. I had experienced trauma recently and a friend suggested I try Reiki. Having asked Andy some pertinent questions – to which I received prompt and informative replies – I booked a session. From the moment I arrived, I felt ‘at home’, relaxed, welcomed and treated in a most professional manner. Andy took the time to listen to me, to my needs – over a cup of tea – and to ensure I was relaxed and had no further questions or no anxiety about the treatment. I was able to relax and enjoy the experience and the what can only be described as healing. The gentleness of the Reiki touch was soothing and calming. Afterwards, Andy again took time to sit with me and discuss the experience and to listen to my questions. The follow-up email with advice and care was most appreciated. I can highly recommend Andy as a Reiki practitioner, a good person, and I intend to experience further healing as needed. Thank you. Ken

🌟 Christine said:

Great classic reiki treatment, highly recommended for stress, rebalancing and holistic / complementary health support. Excellent environment/ location

🌟 Paul-Preston said:

Really enjoyed my Reiki session with Andy.
Andy really cares for his clients & maintains a calm & professional approach. Highly recommended!

🌟 Florencia said:

I strongly recommend to visit Andy. I was my first ever Reiki session and I felt the power and energy of it! He has a beautiful calm space for relaxing and calming the mind which was what I was needing. I highly recommend his practice, he has a great communication and I like his follow ups!

🌟 Sydnye said:

Peace, calm and connection to my mind’s eye! After one treatment with Andy, I had a sense of deep solace. Andy’s treatment space is a sanctuary that allows energy to freely flow. While you cannot put a price on peace, making an appointment with Reiki Surry Hills is a great investment in yourself. Thank you for the soothing herbal tea as well.

🌟 Vera said:

Calming and soothing – session was Andy was my first Reiki session ever, and I am very happy that I chose Andy. The whole experience was excellent, starting from communication with Andy prior to the session (prompt responses, clear answers and precise instructions on how to find the place) and the treatment itself was very calming and releasing. I would highly recommend Andy and his practice. On the side note, place is beautiful and the whole environment is soothing!

🌟 Aude said:

I had a really good time during with Andy. I had a lot of different feelings during reiki treatment and felt relaxed and peaceful after. I really recommend Andy!

🌟 Kate said:

Was a great experience. Very calming and neutral space.
I sat in it for the rest of the day and then felt very balanced and ready to move forward the next day.

🌟 Sanpreet said:

The entire experience was healing in some way – whether it was the space, the music, the chat with Andy before the treatment (where he explained everything and how it would relate to me thoroughly), the treatment itself, or the follow-up emails after. I felt incredibly comfortable from the get-go and would definitely like to return to delve further into this magic.

🌟 Effie said:

After such an intense year of stress, emotions and draining energy, my first Reiki treatment with Andy was calming, cleared my head and I left feeling lighter than when I arrived. Andy was very accommodating to schedule me in last minute before Christmas too, and I will definitely come back for another Session. Thanks Andy & Thor!

🌟 Basak said:

I decided to try Reiki Surry Hills based on customer reviews and I wasn’t disappointed! Thank you Andy!

My booking site, Bookwell, asks client for a review after their appointment. Here are all the reviews and ratings since the last time I posted:

Rocks, Tasmania

I feel that Sydney is such a lucky city in terms of the COVID-19 pandemic. Compared to so many other cities in the world, our rates of infection are so low, and the restrictions have been much fewer than elsewhere. It feels like a lucky country and a lucky place to be hiding out!

I also feel lucky that so many of my clients have agreed to leave reviews about their experiences. It makes me feel good about my work to see how a treatment helps a client, and the reviews definitely help bring people to Reiki Surry Hills.

Here are the latest from my Google listing. Thanks to those who wrote them!

🌟 Reuben said: Had my first Reiki experience with Andy and found it to be both relaxing and powerful. He’s calm, welcoming and its a nice space. At many times during the session I felt strong energies wash over me. Recommended.

🌟 Polina said: Just had an incredible experience receiving reiki from Andy. He is clearly very talented at what he does! The energetic movements within my body were undeniable during the treatment and it was like nothing I have ever felt before. Andy made me feel very comfortable and offered me some tea before the treatment began. If you’re looking for quality reiki healing then look no further as I suspect you will get everything you are looking for from Andy 🙂

🌟 David said: I wanted to try Reiki as during Covid lockdown I was meditating daily and was curious of becoming a little more spiritual. I also had the hopes of being more calm mentally, with the possibility of healing from past breakups, along with trauma growing up. After the treatment, I was surprised at how much I felt. During the treatment I was experiencing:
– Andy’s hands feeling very hot and soothing, along with pins and needles around my body.
– Felt a vibration at my third eye.
– Thoughts and happy memories of my life which almost made me cry.
– The most relaxed I have ever felt – deepest state of meditation I’ve been in.
I 100% recommend Andy if you’re feeling even the slightest bit constrained mentally or emotionally, it feels as if there’s been weight taken away. Will definitely be seeing Andy again in the future.

🌟 Ximena said: Amazing experience. This was my second time doing reiki and I found it very relaxing and revealing. Andy sets up a harmonious ambience perfect to relax and reconnect with yourself.

🌟 Jose left me five stars!

🌟 Advait said: I had an excellent experience whilst I was processing some difficult emotions that I felt physically manifest. Some chronic tension had built up in my chest and head that had become unbearable and vanished after the session. I would highly recommend anyone try it out. I tried Reiki for the first time without any expectations.

🌟 Rebecca said: Really beautiful and calm energy with a very pleasant experience today with my reiki session with Andy. I highly recommend and have already told friends about his fantastic service.

🌟 Dan said: The space is comfortable and safe, Andy is calm and professional. This is a small oasis in the middle of Surry Hills. Not sure what to expect, I am glad I had the opportunity to experience Reiki for the first time in such a positive manner. I was quite exhausted after the session and tired the next day but put this down to my mind allowing my body to rest finally. Thank you Andy, I will happily recommend you to my friends and family.

Such great reviews. I’m grateful for them. And feel lucky!

What a strange period in the world, which none of us expected.

I had to close down Reiki Surry Hills for three months, and when I opened again, I could see that we’re all taking it slowly and cautiously in the ways we re-engage with the world. Even though I had a list of people who said to contact them to tell them when I reopened, most of them haven’t come back yet.

On the other hand, I sent out a newsletter around that time, and so it was nice to see clients from a long time ago, who were reminded of reiki by the newsletter, and decided it was time for another treatment.

It’s been a long time since I’ve shared my latest reviews with you. I’m always grateful when clients leave me reviews. I believe it helps others to understand what a reiki experience might be like, and I know people can feel from the reviews that they are honest and authentic (unlike some other reviews up on the internet).

So, as before, THANK YOU, to my clients for these reviews. Here are some from Facebook:

In February, Ila shared:

🌟 Andy is very professional and makes you feel totally at ease. The treatment was amazing, very healing and is highly recommended!

And Basel said:

🌟 I have done Reiki before many times around the world with different Reiki practitioners and my session with Andy was the most powerful session I had ever experienced. I look forward to my next session and seeing how the next few days unfold. Thank you Andy, I am grateful for our session.

Akshata, in July (actually, she posted this on my birthday, which was a nice gift!), wrote:

🌟 Andy is very professional, thorough in communications and very calm composed during the session. He advises well and also follows up after the session. The place has a nice soothing positive aura. The treatment/session and music was very relaxing. Thank you SO much, Andy! 🙂 Definitely Recommended!

On Bookwell, my booking service, clients shared the following:

Samantha Visited July 2020

After this Reiki session, I am feeling so good and centres with myself 😊 I went to help with sleeping issues and I have been sleeping deeply, and feeling fresh when waking up since. Andy is really nice and answered all my questions about Reiki. I recommended him to my friend, as I think he is a great Reiki Master.

I’m always grateful when clients leave me reviews. I think that it really helps others to understand what a reiki experience might be like, and that they can pick up on the energy of the reviews themselves to see if they want to try reiki and if I’m the right practitioner for them.

So, yes, THANK YOU, to my clients for these reviews. It’s been a while since I’ve posted ones from Facebook.

In November, Patrick said:

🌟 Definitely worth the experience, such a beautiful therapy that does wonders for the soul. Andy is a calming welcoming presence to be around.

And Fernanda said:

🌟 What a special experience I had yesterday! Andy does an amazing work, I left there felling the most beautiful energy, extremely calm and grounded. I highly recommend Andy!

Leah, in October, said:

🌟 This was my first experience with Reiki, and it far exceeded my expectations. The experience opened my eyes to how powerful, and tangible, positive energy can be. Andy has a very soothing presence, and through the entirely of the treatment I felt very at ease. Definitely recommend trying Reiki Surry Hills out to anyone seeking calm or clarity!

Grace, in September, wrote:

🌟 Had a wonderful experience with Andy. Also the follow care is something I’ve never experienced before doing Reiki and it’s great. Would highly recommend Andy.

The same month Yasmin shared:

🌟 Andy has such a calm and welcoming space which is a beautiful start to your session especially coming from our busy lifestyles. Really enjoyed my first session and will definitely be back. The energy being transferred was impressive and I’m excited to see what future treatments hold.

And Fatima in May (I’m really behind in sharing these) wrote:

🌟 Amazing experience to help you with deeper meditation and relaxation. Thank you Andy!

And over on Bookwell, my booking service, where I have 52 reviews, Kay, who visited in November 2019, shared:

🌟 This Reiki treatment was the first I have ever had and I instantly felt at ease in Andy’s presence. He is very professional and caring and I am glad I have found him. I might very likely end up as one of his regulars. I can highly recommend him.

And Emma, who also visited in November 2019, said:

🌟 Was a very healing session, in a beautiful space. It is obvious that Andy is very balanced and offers a very authentic and powerful healing experience. Very grateful I found my way there. Would definitely recommend to others.
