Thankyou for such a life altering weekend! The course was well explained and set in the most wonderfully peaceful environment making it a truly memorable experience. I've come away feeling a changed person and can't wait to start giving others treatments. Once again, thankyou so much. Really looking forward to seeing you and hopefully the others again. With lots of love Georgie xxx
Thank you for a wonderful
1st degree experience! I am so glad I made the time to attend, I have felt energised ever since. Jenny made the weekend very interesting and informal, with the pace relaxing and calm. The history of Reiki was explained in a easy to understand way, and I especially like the fact that Jenny didn't put her influence on either Japanese or Western teachings, leaving me to make up my own mind. The location is fantastic overlooking the green fields and trees and the company of the cows made it even more interesting! Jenny's home has a very calm and relaxed atmosphere and eating lunch together and chatting made the weekend feel like a retreat! I'm looking forward to the 2nd degree. Thanks again Jenny and thanks for your continuing support" love Penny

I came away from
Reiki 1 refreshed and keen to continue. Jenny explained the background to Reiki and taught us the Usui method sensitively, giving us plenty of time for questions and always reassuring us. The class was informal and set in a lovely location, a log cabin overlooking a field - a perfect location. Timing was good; the second day gave us time to reflect on what we had learnt on Day 1 before continuing. Everything was calm and there was always enough time for us. Thank you so much. Looking forward to Reiki 2. Best wishes Jess

Course content exelente. I was much happier having a course that reflects Usui's thinking although I appreciate his original teachings were for self improvement on all levels. There is a nice balance of history/practical/meditation & what is really good is that Jenny allows space for the students to steer the course through how they are feeling throughout the various modules. The location is in a lovely part of the country. Jenny teaches in a gentle way which is perfect for this subject. Reiki has to be assimilated and as such cannot be rushed or forced, so personally I felt comfortable with it this way. Over all, I would say an excellent course which 'flows' and is unhurried which personally, I think is necessary........Best wishes Derek

The location of this reiki experience is beautiful - calm and tranquil. Totally relaxing - the perfect setting in which to receive reiki. Jenny's reiki is very balancing and it is easy to see why she is going from strength to strength with it, both giving
treatments and sharing her knowledge through her
classes. Receiving reiki Jenny has a very easy going manner and is a very good listener which helps you relax before and after a reiki session. After Jenny's reiki I feel completely balanced, calm, and with life once more in perspective.
Jenny's classes are well organised and offer an open forum that is relaxing and also great fun. The classes are very thorough both in terms of the actual course content but also the history of reiki and the various methods available to you. My group has been reforming for over a year now and I expect we will continue forever! I travel to Jenny's in Wiltshire regularly and I live near Oxford now over an hour away - it is well worth the effort. Once you have been to the classes Jenny provides full support and encouragement for you to practice reiki regularly, helping others and also on yourself.
Reiki has changed my life and put things in perspective - I now practice reiki on others and the motivation and enthusiasm I have for it is mainly due to Jenny's own enthusiasm rubbing off on me! Thank you! lots of love Harriet

My Reiki journey is going very well, thanks! It took a while for me to remember to self treat everyday, but it has become a routine now. I have treated my boyfriend a few times, he always falls straight to sleep! It has definitely made me much more aware of my emotional balance, I feel calmer and get less worked up about things. It's as if I approach things with new eyes! I really enjoyed the course, it was a really nice pace and you made everything easy to understand and follow. Obviously for me the location was perfect as it was near to home, and the situation of your cabin was so lovely, being able to look out on to the fields and hear the wind chimes in your garden really created the perfect atmosphere. Thank you very much! Hope you're well, Jo x

"I found learning Reiki to be a wonderful revelation. The setting for the weekend was beautiful - a purpose built cabin overlooking the countryside. Jenny was a very good teacher demonstrating a depth of knowledge of Reiki both in theory and practice. Having the course over 2 days was helpful as we could go through what we had learnt and check understanding on the second day as well as having plenty of time for practice. I would wholeheartedly recommend the course." Love and Light, Kelvyn

Superb Master/Teacher Course – The location is lovely, it’s been a dream of mine to work in a dedicated therapy room of my own for sometime. The content is very good, just about the right amount for me, very clear explanation of the different symbols and ceremonies. How it was taught: yes again very good. Jenny you have a lovely, honest way about you. You are very approachable and clear in your teaching. Room for improvement etc. - I could think of nothing to change! Lots of love Jules

My Shinpiden Course was wonderfully delivered as Jenny is able to share rather than just instruct, which enables students to really absorb the intent along with the techniques. I felt totally immersed & relaxed and so able to fully appreciate the whole course. The higher empowerment's have a deep effect and you really have to be in the right environment for it. Safe & guided I would say. It feels as if the location is a temple! Time seems to stand still in the cabin & the peace is astounding. I would say Wiltshire is an ideal place as it's easy to get to & has a good energy about it. As before, Jenny has a calm yet reassuring manner which works well. She is always ready to listen as well as speak and has no need to distort the truth of what Reiki is actually about. An open and honest teacher is a great find! I cannot really see anything that could actually improve the Master degree A wonderful experience that accompanies a life changing journey. Thank you for a lovely time.. Lots n lots of love Derek x

I wanted to say thank you for teaching us the Reiki skills. I found it very interesting and moving. I have been with a Transpersonal Psychotherapist on and off for the last 4 years. And in that I time I've learnt more about connecting with my inner self, and learning tools to help me. So when I did the course on Saturday while at home certain things came up for me, like I felt a strong resistance of not wanting to go back on Sunday. I witnessed it and let it pass, and I happily came back the next day. Lately I have felt a deep need that I would like to be around spiritual people more often, in order to aid my spiritual journey and development. When you mentioned about how it is important for you to not cut ties with people that you have just taught, and that it's like a circle of energy that by being together on a regular basis actually benefits us all. I thought that that was a wonderful, giving, loving thing to offer everyone.
My Reiki 1 Course was wonderful and I couldn’t see the need for any improvements to your teaching course, I cannot think of anything. I loved the feel of your energy and your home. I liked the fact that you are open enough to teach us different styles of Reiki. I loved the energy and passion which you put into making the 'Connect With Reiki' folders for each of us. I felt a lot of thought and feeling went into making them. I think that they are great, and very useful. It shows me what a caring, giving person that I feel you are.. I felt very relaxed and welcome into your home, and I thank you very much for it..... Like I said I love being around spiritual people, it makes my heart sing.. It was wonderful to meet you and I hope to see you very soon. Namaste, Becky

My
Reiki 1 Course has changed my life and
I've remembered to self treat every day (sometimes more than once - what a lovely thing to do!) and have felt a strange connection to everything and everyone. I've been guilty in the past of being envious and critical of others, but I have felt so at peace that I'm struggling to see anything but good in people. I'm probably still on a high, but I hope I can maintain at least some level of this serenity I've found.
Life just feels good and I'm happy. It used to take things, people, situations etc. to make me "happy" but I've realised now that happiness and contentment are already IN me, everything else is an added bonus! I've been content to just "be", to listen to the birds and the wind in the trees rather than reaching for the TV remote or surfing the internet for hours.
There's still a small part of me that wonders if it can really be this simple, and I'm reluctant to talk about my Reiki experience with anyone at the moment, but I guess time will tell and I must remember to TRUST! Hope to see you soon Jenny, lots of love Kathryn

It was absolutely wonderful to meet you and I feel so grateful and humble about how much you imparted to us. Thank you SO SO much for sharing your knowledge and experience with us this weekend. I know this has just been a first step and that there is still much to learn. I was pleased to find a course that was out in the countryside, rather than in a city because, for me, this helped to clear my mind and make me more receptive. I enjoyed the fact that everything took place in your wonderful wood cabin looking out on to nature with its calming and conducive atmosphere. The course content itself was a good balance between obtaining information about the Reiki tradition and the opportunity for practice. I feel that all our group also gained a great deal from each other. You were very helpful with any questions we had and generous and thoughtful in your answers. The time seemed to fly by - but it was practical to finish at 4.0 pm on Saturday in order to create some space to absorb the day's experience before returning on Sunday. The whole weekend was, for me, a powerful reminder that there is a peaceful, more centred way of living - something to use not just for oneself but also, when we have opportunities, to pass on to others. With lots of love, Katie

Thank-you for a great weekend, I will go so far as saying it was perfect!!!! T
he length of the course was just right as I got home at a nice time and could reflect on the weekend. The location was perfect and your husband is a saint for putting up with us all because it can be intrusive at times. The cabin was heaven, the birds sang at the right time! I cant wait to see you on the 19th of July for my 2nd Degree. I cant wait to meet the cows!! Love Paula

I just wanted to say thank you so much for a fantastic course (2nd/3rd June). It was an absolutely blissful experience spending time at your beautiful home in such pretty surroundings too. I have been doing Reiki and have found a fairly local share group which I intend to contact shortly and arrange to attend to make sure I keep my practising going. As you said I am just at the beginning and I want to make sure I get lots of exposure to others who enjoy Reiki. It was so nice meeting you and the course lived up to everything I expected and hoped for. All the best, Theresa Russell

I am so pleased I came along to the share last night, it really helped me to settle. Funny things are happening : - ) I went down to my car last night and just stopped in my tracks, something made me just come to a standstill, my vision went all out of focus and I had pins and needles all over so I just went with it and it passed. Getting a lot of headaches but doing self healing is working. Did a meditation, said my blessings and self healed for half an hour this morning, all before I got out of bed, it was wonderful! Everything feels different to the touch, washing my hands, splashing water on my face, its amazing, I feel alive! I know its only been a couple of days but all I think about is Reiki, first thing in the morning, last thing at night and all the time in between, could easily not work again ha ha! "When the student is ready the teacher will appear" ... and you did. Quite surprised at how many times in a day I am saying "just for today, do not anger" ... it's really amusing me and making me laugh. Thank you again, I feel like I have come home. Love and light.

My Reiki 1 Course was wonderful and being welcomed into your home is lovely and sets a great vibe for the weekend. Much better than attending a college site in a town. Really easy to travel to and park the car.
Wonderfully relaxed environment - your cabin was ideally situated for this kind of event. Ron the cat and the cows looking in, the sound of the pond bubbling, trees waving in the wind and a wonderful sense of peace and warmth. The cabin is a great size and whilst there were a couple of extra students for our course, the 'cosiness' was never a problem.
The course really comprised everything I wanted at this stage in my journey. I had read a fair bit and also had received Reiki quite a few times and so it was very reassuring and illuminating that you emphasised and explained the variety of approaches, for example, the differences and balance between traditional Japanese and Western techniques and teaching. For me, there was a good balance between theory/teaching and practical sessions where we could all practice in a safe and supportive environment. We were all able to express our most private and personal thoughts and emotions and no questions felt awkward.
The length of course was just about right, though I could have gone on and on - I just didn't want to leave! Day 2 was busy and focused, but never rushed.
Jenny, what can I say...the hugest 'thank you' for a quite incredible weekend. As you know, I had a powerful and profound experience when I gave Reiki for the first time. I am thankful that I found you at this time in my life and believe you have helped me take my first tentative steps along a wonderfully exciting and fulfilling path. The Reiki 1 course gave me everything I needed and so much more. Since I got home and back to work, things have felt so altered for me - events that would have stressed me out before are now countered with 'just for today, do not worry' and everything has taken on a deeper hue - its like my vision has come into focus. I truly feel that in Reiki I have 'come home'. Blessings Charlotte

My thoughts on the Reiki 1 weekend 16th/17th August Location: Beautiful and very tranquil. Facilities: Perfect for the setting and type of course. Course content: Comprehensive, informative, interesting and inspiring. Length of course: Just right. General remarks: A very relaxing weekend. I think I might have preferred a smaller group. Love Jaime

It's Michelle thanking you for the Reiki 1 (Shoden) weekend and my thoughts. The location was very calming amidst a green field. What I enjoyed the most was feeling empowered in a wooden cabin which felt close to nature. The cabin was situated in Jenny's rear garden and one could see green fields, as well as the cows. There are local villages and many Bed and Breakfasts' to choose from so it was very easy to get to Jenny's home from the B&B (5mins the most).
I think the location is important as well as the environment because it helped me feel closer to nature and rooted me to mother-earth. I also enjoyed lunch in Jenny's 'cottage kitchen'. As far as I can say, I believe Jenny offered us all the appropriate theory, teachings and opportunities to practice, as necessary. I like (actually I loved) Jenny’s teaching method because although it was conducted in an informal style, I remembered (and still do) what Jenny taught. I also like Jenny's option of western and eastern style Reiki. They both have different treatment styles but in reflection, I felt that Japanese was better suited to my nature. I think the pack is also very useful and great too (especially my certificate!!).
The timings throughout the day felt like it wasn't forced and there were no time deadlines. I enjoyed this because everything ran like fluid e.g. each one of us got to experience reiki treatments, meditation, empowerment, lunch and lots of time for discussion, therefore I never felt under pressure to end a treatment quickly, or I couldn't repeat questions. Two days is necessary otherwise the empowerment would have felt rushed and it would not have been embedded in my hara. General remarks. Overall I am very happy that I had Reiki 1 empowerments by Jenny because she is a master of this art and knew how to deliver the reiki in the most safest, trustful and happy style. I enjoyed receiving treatments and learning to give too. I also enjoyed listening to Jenny's lineage and how Reiki has given her many tools to serve other people, as well as how Reiki has helped Jenny treat herself, which I believe is pertinent when giving treatments to other people. Thank you! Look forward to hearing from you. I liked the self-healing techniques which is something that I have been practising every morning. I also set an intention every morning, and before giving Reiki, which is an idea that came from Jenny. Thank-you Jenny, you have helped me to change my life for my higher good Love Michelle xx

The location is wonderful; peaceful and ideal for the energy work. Perhaps instructions of where you are in the village could be emailed to course attendees or a set of bollards placed outside the cottage. The facilities are charming, but a bit of squeeze with 6 would have preferred 4. The Course content was: enjoyable and powerful and the length of course Just right. Well done for offering such a wonderfully, powerful spiritual connection.
Thoroughly enjoyed the two days - the spiritual energy I'm holding is truly amazing - 'it feels good to be home' and I look forward to doing the 2nd degree - Okuden. Lots of love and light and continue to walk in beauty. Karenx

Your teaching was excellent. I found it was just the right pace to digest and maintain the information and I now feel I have gained so much more knowledge from you. You made me feel at ease and you gave the group time and not feel rushed to be able to ask questions. You have the most idyllic place for the course. I couldn’t wish for a better place or person to have taken the course with. Love Pam

Jenny I have been wracking my brain to give you feedback but the course is such a good fit for me that the only thing missing is more of the same. Your situation home and cabin arrangement is so unique I and was just the right formulae for my needs right now and I simply would not want you to change a thing. You are truly an inspiration and I think your teaching at this time in your life was just the right balance for my need for knowledge at this time in my life. Anyway, thank you for your patience as I know I am an inquisitive learner. So will speak soon Love Amanda

Glad you liked the flowers, I just really wanted to say thanks to you for everything as without you I would have no idea how great reiki is! You'll be pleased to hear that I am self healing every day now and even managed to give the kids reiki sneakily the other morning! Reiki has been an amazing experience and this Reiki 2 course has really opened my eyes to the possibilities. The location is just perfect and I really can't imagine doing a Reiki course anywhere else. Jenny, you are a brilliant teacher who has infectious enthusiasm for Reiki and I couldn't ask for a better Reiki Master to study with. You let us go at our own pace and encouraged us to ask questions and think for ourselves about your teachings. Thank you so much Love Laura

Firstly I'd just like to thank you for a wonderful weekend! I have to admit I was sceptical at first, not expecting to feel any different or 'get' what you were teaching, but how wrong could I be! I am by no means a 'tree hugging hippy' or even a religious person, but everything you taught us and talked about over the weekend just clicked and made complete sense. I realised that anyone, no matter who they are, can harness the energy of the universe of which we are all created from and use it for ourselves and others.
The location of the cabin couldn't be more perfect, and looking out onto fields and hearing the birds singing loudly was just superb, especially on the beautiful sunny days we had! The exercises were particularly helpful, especially the pushing pulling one where we stood facing away from each other. It just proved to me that we all have this energy field/aura. I did it on my husband when i got home and his face was a picture! :o)
I felt the music playing in the background was very soothing and would be grateful if you could let me know the titles of the CDs and where you bought them from. Also that bell was amazing! When we sat with our eyes closed & hearing the bell, I could have been anywhere in the world, it has a fantastic sound.
The length of the course was just right, very relaxed and not rushed, and i felt that i absorbed everything you taught us. The shorter day on the Sunday was also great, it didn't need to be any longer as after the course i felt very slowed down and just needed to go home and sit quietly (quite a feat with a 2yr old running amock) but I was actually in bed for 8.30pm on Sunday and slept straight through! I woke this morning before my alarm went off and felt so refreshed, a word i have never used to describe a Monday morning! I have been practicing my self-healing before getting out of bed and it really does just take minutes, and sets you up for the day. Namesty Jenny x

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you with my feedback. It's been very difficult to come up with something other than the word perfect! The course for me was exactly what I'd be hoping to find. You are an excellent teacher, your approach and enthusiasm to reiki is inspiring. You are a wonderful reiki master whom I hope to learn further from. The cabin and your home and it's location are again perfect. For a course in reiki I don't think there could be a better place - I felt a sense of peace and nature just entering your front gate, followed by your warm welcome on arrival to your home. I really wish I could add more in regards to feedback but in conclusion I would not have changed anything, the weekend was entirely perfect! Best wishes Anna x

I have been feeling very good since the course, I have managed to self treat everyday, and do some distance healing on Kate and 'The Egg'(!) which I think has helped. Kate says I have been much more helpful since the course. I have felt a lot more tolerant and generous with Reiki! the more you give the more you get!. My spiritual awareness is definitely significantly stronger. I hope I can keep up the practice and not get too distracted with life!! I hope everyone else has been feeling good too.. Thank you very much for teaching me Jenny- the 2 weekends with you were far more valuable than 3 years at uni!!! Namaste Steve.x
